Yesterday my kid told me how crazy the school breakfast lines are this year. I had to explain to him that no, the new class wasn't huge, but the government stopped giving a bunch of families money to help them buy food and now they're depending on the school to feed their kids. I hate this timeline.

I'm so tired of surveys. No, I don't want to tell you about my baseball game experience, or if I'm satisfied with my soap purchase, or to provide a review of the interaction I had with the guy who sold me a slurpee. If you're not a local business, leave me alone!

I am amazed that people walk into discussions among knowledgeable human experts and say “ChatGPT says…” It’s very insulting to do that, and it makes you look ridiculous. Everybody has seen LLMs spit out wrong information about *extremely* simple things. Don’t make a fool of yourself!

Alt: A scene from the show Star Trek: The Next Generation. Data and Geordi, dressed as Shelock Holmes and Watson, respectively, dramatically round a corner in an Enterprise corridor. Data's cape billows with the force of his movement. Their expressions are deadly serious. They are best friends out for serious nomsense.

Best STAR TREK captain. Wrong answers only.
Dav Pilkey's character Captain Underpants, from the eponymous book series. Cap is a thicc boi with pink skin, a bald egg-shaped head, and an upturned puglike nose. He's smiling and showing his top teeth. Bro wears nothing but tighty whities and a red cape knotted around his neck.

Spent the weekend volunteering at church camp with a bunch of youth from 13-30. I'm always exhausted at the end of camp but I'm always so grateful for this time and for the future leaders I get to spend it with.
A photo of a lake taken from the porch of a house. The white porch railing is visible at the botto of the photo. There is gravel in front of the house which gives way to grass with picnic tables on the shore, then the blue lake. There are trees on a low hill visible on the other side. The sky is summer blue with small puffy clouds.

At the Reflecting Pool and guys, this doesn't look right.
The villain Armus from Star Trek TNG. Armus is a vaguely human shaped alien formed of what looks like shiny black tar. He is looming from the waist up out of a pool of the same tarry material. Sand and rocks are in the background.

Thank you for coming The plan is to make the Reflecting Pool full of saltwater and then fill it with sharks. This will cost millions of dollars and will not really help anything other than putting some sharks closer to where I live. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Someone asked an elderly white (relevant) parishioner what was in the egg rolls that a southeast Asian parishioner made for coffee hour. His response? "I don't care if it's seaweed and opossum because they're delicious!" and then he walked off to get seconds. Don't mess with our friends or our food!

With respect (and not to single out this specific person, this a common sentiment), no. Whiteness in America has gotten us to this moment, and those of us who are white have to recognize we are tied up in its power dynamic. Acknowledge it rather than trying to (sorry) performatively opt out of it.

I was out celebrating Indie Bookstore Day today and a lady got so excited talking with me about the Game Changers series that she squeezed her iced coffee too hard and it exploded. In case anyone wonders if the book fandom is as intense as the TV fandom. Yes.

A light blue braiser sits on a black glass cooktop. The food inside is a tomato sauce with large white beans and bits of kale, covered in a layer of melted and slightly browned mozzarella and pecorino cheese. It is not a good picture but it is going to be a good dinner.

I always get kinda confused when people follow me. I spend most of my posts alternately complaining about the school drop-off line and yelling at my senator, with occasional Episcopalian musings and Star Trek jokes. I'm glad for all like 5 of you but know the content you can expect from me 😂.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.
