Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I feel compelled to go on the record and say this:

Genocide is always evil.

To threaten to eradicate a civilization in the name of Jesus Christ is blasphemous and morally repulsive. Genocide must be rejected in the strongest terms by all who follow Jesus.

Anyone else got insomnia?

Be wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove this Easter.

Omg, y'all! I just looked out my window and saw a pair of bluejays with nesting material in their beaks! My heart melts!

A large stack of Jacquard weaving punchcards

Did you know that some of the earliest computers were actually weaving looms? Joseph Marie Jacquard is credited with inventing the most successful such loom, which operates off punchcards that determine which warp threads are lifted. Bevilacqua still uses this system for their silk velvet

*pounds table* IDES IDES IDES

I want everyone to know that my husband @cpjones.bsky.social is so excited about the Ides of March because that's the recommended day for putting out hummingbird food. He's gone out now *just* to buy hummingbird nectar. That, my friends, is nontoxic masculinity.

We Bought Black and White Film on Temu So You Don't Have To A risky experiment to test a series of black and white films from China revealed some disasters, and some hidden gems too.

So I know we're all about the love for Ilford today, but I just wanted to draw your attention to the fact that there's a brand of film on Temu called Poolar 400 and I'll be really disappointed if nobody tries it for the next #ShittyCameraChallenge!

How about a shitty film edition?

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.

1. My dog Flannery
2. Therapy
3. The fact that bluejays are corvids

Yeah, but Jesus said two swords were enough, so you gotta get rid of all your guns. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Just a reminder that I'll be knitting for 12 hours to raise money for these four fine charities! You can give to my efforts at this link, if you want!

Also, big trigger warnings for how the staffer committed suicide. If you’re easily disturbed like I am, might want to avoid this article.

Tony Gonzales admits affair with aide who died by suicide “​​I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has,” the San Antonio Republican told a conservative radio host the day after he was forced into a primary runoff.

The nicest thing I can think to say is “cheap grace.”

Lent Madness opinion: Clare of Assisi vs Scholastica is just cruel. Go vote for my girl Scholastica.

Well, it's 4:00 in the morning and I have a glass of coldbrew, because if sleep hasn't happened by now there's no point in trying anymore. Yay, insomnia.

I'm asking myself horrible questions, like, "Who's worse: Trump or Ken Paxton?" This is not how I should be spending my limited brainpower after an EMDR session.

I voted for Paul.
