This is a niche post, but: I HAVE been to Boston in the fall. 🍂🍁 Once. For SBL/AAR!
What’s a song or hymn that can bring tears to your eyes? Happy or sad tears.
Ordered an Oklahoma Joe’s Bronco smoker. Gets here tomorrow. Excited to try it out!
Internet’s falling apart. Economy’s falling apart. Politics is falling apart. Planet’s falling apart. What a time to be alive!
Not me over here tearing-up watching the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary. 🥺
I think it might be time for me to get into meat smoking. What’s a decent meat smoker you’d recommend for a beginner?
What are your favorite seasonings and/or sauces that you wish more people knew about?
Millstones. For all of them.
What songs are you resonating with or just generally enjoying these days?
What news sources are you especially grateful for these days?
What are your favorite reference works for learning more about specific feast days in the Christian Church calendar? ⚓️🕯️
🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day! Let’s make sure vets get the healthcare and other benefits they were promised. And let’s defend the Constitution and the democratic republic they fought for. 🇺🇸
Trying out posting a video to/via Micro.Blog for the first time. Taking a long time to upload just an 18 sec video on my phone on the MB app. OK, here goes…
It’s the feckless and toothless vs the heartless and ruthless. Fear, greed, and lies are going to run this country into the ground. We’re led by cowards and liars who are only in it for the money.
Why the hell is Trump helping to call the Lions game
If you’re preaching, summarize this week’s sermon with a GIF.
Make bad things shameful again. ICE. Organizations caving to fascism. Bald-faced lies from political leaders. Good ol’ boys in the Church giving abuse a pass. Etc.
I’m no fan of ICE. But I use Spotify all the time for myself and my kids (bunch of podcasts they like). (How) Is Tidal any better? I’m willing to be convinced to boycott. But there’s also no fully ethical consumption under capitalism.
Don’t close your eyes to what ICE is doing every day to our neighbors. They are a secret police force, terrorizing communities with imagined impunity. They must be held to account. No secret police in the USA. Yes, we need common sense immigration reforms and reasonable enforcement. This ain’t it. This is evil, racist, bullshit. Christians, of all people, should be speaking up on behalf of immigrants. God is their advocate and defender. Are we?
I lost confidence in the ACNA’s leadership a few years ago, so I left. Since then, more and more has come to light to reveal the rot. ⚓️🕯️
