Oh no. The sickness loop might be closing around us. I’m still not back to 100% (lingering head/chest congestion and cough), and now our first kid that got sick about 3 weeks ago has a sore throat and a low fever 🤒.
Ok, I opened and closed the shutoff valve for the hot water on my kitchen faucet. At first, it wouldn’t completely block the flow. But after a couple turns back and forth, now nothing comes out of the faucet even when the shutoff valve is fully open! What’s going on here? #plumbing #plumber
What’s the best definition of “white Christian nationalism” you’ve come across?
Looking for a church in Toledo, OH that loves Jesus, has Holy Communion every week, has at least a few other young families, and isn’t infected with white Christian nationalism. Not interested in “concert and a TED talk.” Any recommendations?
I resurrected my Twitter account (@joshuapsteele). Thoughts and prayers (and follows, let’s be honest) appreciated.
What does G.O.P. stand for, anyways? (Wrong answers only)
Used any good pens lately? 🖊️🖋️✍️
It’s a bit odd, getting reacquainted with your hometown (Toledo, OH) after over a decade away!
Absolute dumpster fire of a week! Just happy to still be standing. Here’s hoping next week is better.

Seems like we need some good political theology these days. Reading recommendations?
DayQuil + Motrin + TamiFlu + Wellbutrin + Prozac + U-Haul + House full of boxes. Let’s goooooooooo! 🫨
Oof, this cold/flu is hitting my family hard, and right before our upcoming move! 🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒
📚Finally finished listening to “The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz” by Erik Larson. I really enjoyed it. A sobering, fascinating read. Give it a go if you enjoy reading about WWII, Churchill, etc.!

What’s a good word (maybe a German word?) for “that sinking feeling you get as a parent when one of your children starts to get sick and you know it’s only a matter of time before the wave of illness makes its way through the house”?
📚 Just got my copy of “Thinking in Systems: A Primer” by Donella H. Meadows. Excited to read this book!
I’d like to get a copy of “Java: The Complete Reference.” I’m wondering how much of an update/improvement the recently-released 13th edition is over the 12th edition. Any #Java geeks out there who can weigh-in?
One of the saddest, most frustrating things I’ve witnessed in my life: seeing large swaths of American evangelicalism so readily embrace Trumpism and Christian Nationalism. It’s tempting to despair.
This is why micro.blog is the best corner of the internet!
