Stress cleaning on a public holiday because siblings-in-law are coming for a visit and, well, you know how it is. Everything in the house suddenly feels not-clean-enough and in the wrong place 😅🫠🫠

I felt this would be the point where a human would sigh, so I sighed.

It has somehow been a very long and very short week all in one. So, you know, baking helps. Also, @andrebruwer.bsky.social came home today, so celebratory cinnamon buns for the win!

Delicious home-made cinnamon buns with vanilla icing. 9 are left over from a batch of 12.

Today I have to do a devotion service for delegates from different Reformed churches in Africa, where most do not have women in ministry. And it just feels like defending myself to a room full of men. While living in Kempton Park where the epidemic of women being murdered is in the forefront.

Got taken on my weekly little mental health walk by @andrebruwer.bsky.social The scenery is not *great* but the very good doggos make up for it.

One black & tan dog on a blue leash in the foreground, and a dude and a collie dog in the distance. The scenery is a dull winterscape

So yesterday had to put on my big girl pants and have lunch with people that hurt me and my family. It was so very awkward. They came to actually apologize, and yet they left without actually saying the words "I'm sorry". They were really close friends and mostly I'm just sad. (1/2)

I am just, uhm, in awe at the AI slop being churned out for the easter period. Songs, videos, the works. And the sheer number of christians flocking to it is insane. Ugh. So tired of this bullshit and so very tired of explaining why this new AI song about Jesus is *not great*

Gotta say, it was super nice having two years of not-crippling-anxiety about job security. Guess we're back to wondering if a salary is on the way month-end. Yay. And if I'll still have a job come yearend. Whoop. Late-stage capitalism ftw.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Today I spent some time in my old hood, Sunnyside. It was very nostalgic and made me a bit homesick. This place shaped me as a person more, and longer than any other place. I shared the experience with two people. One, an old friend, the other a new friend. (A thread...)

Love to see when my dumbass brother in law doesn't even disguise his racism anymore. And then gets very angry when you call him out on it. Fuck all the way off, thank you very much!

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

It's absolutely insane to me how *none* of my clergy colleagues take the environmental impact of using AI seriously. Nope we'll just jump on board with the latest trend and put zero thought into how we use resources. Then at the same time be shouting "we need to be good stewards of the earth". Smdh
