Snickers bar and a metal whistle
Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.
Woman yelling at cat meme with the woman titled "Me" and saying "You can't just call everything you like 'Celtic' Christianity." The cat is labeled "Boomers" and says "Celtic Lord's Prayer."
I made a meme inspired by an r/Episcopalian post. ⚓

I just pre-ordered For the Dead Remember! Now the waiting intensifies!
Took the car to be filled. Bought bread in the garage forecourt shop because we've run out.

"Oh dear," I said. "I dread to think what they put in it to make it last that long."
"Aye," he replied. "You'll not be rotting in yer coffin."
More historic than realized. ⚓

If Pope Benedict XVI could abolish limbo, does that mean a future pope could abolish other drunk party games
INTERNATIONAL TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY MARCH 31
For those struggling with the idea of trans people: I often hear people say “I don’t understand this.” That’s ok. As an ally raised in a cis culture, I can say I don’t really understand it either. Fortunately, understanding is not required from us. Acceptance is. ⚓️ #TransVisiblity
Obsculta, o fili, præcepta magistri, et inclina aurem cordis tui…

Western minds seem to have a 70-year span for history before it recedes into mythology. The safety net, vaccines, the FDA -- all between 70 and 90 years old and their reasons for existing have slid past the veil.
Same with fascism.
I use a reading from J Robert Wright's Readings for the Daily Office from the Early Church between the second lesson and the second canticle. That is in line with rubric on page 142.
Could we please not use that stupid mask of a 17th century Catholic integralist as a sign of anything good and necessary, let alone of liberation and subversion?
My nail lady, who is a Buddhist through and through and quite superstitious… “Something is coming. This year, this new year, in our culture is a time of war, purging old ideas and bad. You buy gold, take cash out, have at very least 10 days of food.”
Me: I kinda felt like doing this already… 😅
Like they ever could have taken on the federal workforce when they have Poasters like those at @cpsc.gov
