Interesting that the most traction I’ve ever gotten on this site was a gym selfie that apparently revealed more about my anatomy than I intended.

That’s what I use X for!

At my local pub a few months ago, I introduced myself to a guy who misheard “Daniel” because there was a lot of noise and he thought I said “Janet.” Now, every time I see him he calls me “Janet.”

At least no one calls out “Slut!”

Yet 😉

We support the incoming PM of Hungary for… reasons

This pin was gifted to us by the most recent Clerk of His Majesty’s Chapel Royal ⚓️

My anxiety comes when folk don’t know to hold the base of the chalice and they’re taller than me. I just have to guess and hope that they get a sip.

Magyar has won in Magyarország 🇭🇺 🎉

The author is a white male in his is 40s, glasses, and a beard. He is sitting in church wearing a light gray sport coat, a pastel multicolored tie, a purple pocket square, and a pin commemorating Yuri Gagarin

Low Sunday is offers us the rare opportunity simply to sit in the nave. I didn’t #touchpews because technically we don’t have pews ⚓️

So I created my own office book, adding antiphons and canticles and extra feasts on top of the Office in my jurisdiction’s BCP. Thus it feels more robust and “Catholic” than the Office straight out of the BCP while still being two major offices with the option for midday and compline (2/2)

I used the Anglican Breviary for about 2 years until I realized two things: 1) my work and domestic life is not that of a monk so I couldn’t do all the offices diligently and it became a stumbling block of scrupulosity and 2) the calendar was out of sync with that of the church I belong to (1/2)

Chess is something I feel like I’m supposed to enjoy as a pretentious former gifted kid, but I’m just not good at it. I know how the pieces move, but the strategy is just too abstract for me.

Also, I’m only good for one or maybe two power ballads, MAX.

I don’t understand this concept and I don’t approve. We don’t stop sinning for 50 days because we’re fallen humans. I do believe that confession directly to God through Christ is valid, but he gave us the ministry of binding and loosing for a reason.

How in this Year of God’s Wrath Two Thousand and Twenty-six are people STILL doing the Side A/Side B thing? ⚓️

It was 14 years ago today, Easter Sunday in 2012, that I attended an Episcopal church for the first time.

Somehow they have not yet been able to get rid of me 😉

📅 Mark your calendars: 29 April will be the 10th anniversary of the Beech Marten Incident at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.

I wonder how the folks in the timeline we shunted off from are doing.

People have been looking at the moon for as long as we’ve been people, so it’s amazing that we’re now seeing parts of it that no other people before us ever did.

Except maybe some abductees 👽

Jesus like us went from womb to tomb.

Unlike us, he did not go from sperm to worm 😉

It literally is the fall of Barad-Dûr because Tolkien deliberately put the destruction of the Ring on 25 March, the ancient date of the Crucifixion.

It is the destruction of the Death Star, which held the galaxy in bondage by the fear of death (Hebrew 2: 14-15). ⚓️

It’s impossible for me to be sad in the Triduum. For me, it’s the destruction of the Death Star, the fall of Barad-Dûr, the charge of the Winged Hussars, and D-Day all rolled into one and multiplied by infinity. ⚓️

Is it “fire - Messi-er” or “fi-uh - Messiah?” 🤔

“She’s an Arminian, Blanche.”
“Why”s that funny?”
“You’re not surprised?”
“Of course not. I’ve never met any personally, but isn’t Cher one?”
“Not Armenian, Blanche! ARMINIAN!”
😜

I don’t like this reboot of #battlestargalactica

Thank God Justin took the fish mitre with him ⚓️

The Society in a nutshell: “Women can receive and confer cooties, but not Holy Orders.”

I hate how everything is a video these days. I can read faster than people can talk - and writing USUALLY forces people to stay on topic and be concise.

There is no reason to trust him.

“Young Anglican” is only “joining” TEC because he wants to try to subvert it from within as part of the “Reconquista” movement. I for one do not trust him and do not welcome him.

Anecdotes like this make me very uncomfortable. They reflect view of the Eucharist as just a symbolic feel-good snack and not the Body and Blood of Christ. Popcorn isn’t bread. We can hope that God can impart grace however he wants, but we only know he does so in the sacraments we have been given.

We don’t talk about anything after God Emperor, and there are NO PREQUELS.

Given that Dune Messiah actually prominently features a cryptic dwarf, that should have been the book for David Lynch to adapt.
