In two sentences, @anachronistben.bsky.social basically sums up 2000 years of theology: "If you set out to praise a person, it will do you no good to think they are a snail. Just so with God; if we cannot speak accurately, then our attempts to praise God are doomed from the start...".
I’ll open up a rival Wesleyan themed joint across the street with four-legged stools in the true spirit of Protestantism
Haha it's like inviting a vampire inside, I have no problems with this invitation. Especially if Kokuyo make a traveler's size dot pad that'll fit my leather cover...
Oh my word I haven't had a chance to try Kokuyo yet! But yes the fall of Tomoe River has been devastating. I was nearly going to pull the trigger on some recently and decided to go with some Hobonichi instead. But I have a stack of Midori I need to get through first 😅
No I will not be taking any questions, unless the question is "Charles, can you please share with me the fruits of your procrastinating labours?"
Also, folks, it's really time to take all of your office needs seriously. Look up the Japanese stationary award winners. Splurge on the Pilot Kire-Na basic and pale sets of highlighters. Finally click "buy" on that Sailor Pro Gear fountain pen. Yes, you do need that Uni Kuru Toga mechanical pencil.
Truly meteoric and (symbolically) meteoric fall
When I decided to leave it as a host for my blog the general sense I get is the same as every other platform I left early for conscientious reasons: a general shrug from people who can’t be bothered to change things
Would love to see Leo sneaking a Giordano's deep dish through the Sistine Chapel
If they intended a smaller serving size they shoulda made the plastic resealable
This is part of what irks me about some of Radner’s most recent work; though I do still appreciate some parts of it. The answer to not having hot takes isn’t to have no takes at all, as I think you’re saying.
Stuff like this is why I have to explain to my American folks that our PM isn’t actually liberal in any sense of the word despite heading up a party with that name. George Bush would’ve had the same budget as this.
The Venn diagram between these folks and the teens making millions on TikTok simply reacting at other videos is more of a complete circle than they'd like to think
Ooh saving for later!
Praying the next book is The Simeon Stylites Option
I hear Tajikistan is popular this time of year
One of the strangest parts of Toddler Metaphysics is their sense that they’re small, you’re big, but one day they’ll be big and you’ll be small.
My three year old said “when I’m a dad and you’re a kid I’ll change your diapers” and it was very nearly profound.
This is the real reason Jesus delayed resurrecting Lazarus
Worried about rising housing and food costs? Feel like modern society is becoming more and more fractured? Try Monasticism™️
The three-year-old at my son’s daycare shocked that I knew her doll was a Pikachu
I’m trying to wrap my head around all the words in the posting but mainly I’m shocked this is something happening in England and not, like, Texas
If you want to officially become The Cool Chaplain, bring in a booster bundle of Pokemon cards to rip during an exam study hall and THEN see how many of them forget your name
Found a travel coffee tumbler I'd brought to my job in...2023? before going on medical leave. I cannot replicate the squeal I made, but it was a joyous one.
Leeman is a mayor now??? Man y'all have been busy since Wycliffe!
Hahahaha. I swear I’ll never eat lentils again!
Can we get a New York pope and an LA pope? Then we somehow get liturgical approval for Tupac vs Biggie. It’ll be amazing.
Still counts, and bonus is you don’t have to go to the States!
The amount of tangerines/clementines I ended up with that tasted like literal dirt for two years
OR—and I know this is absolutely insane—we could focus on the metrics that actually keep people safe: food, housing, and healthcare. But what do I know, I guess.
