Gratitude to River Street Writes & Flying Books in Toronto for a fun & successful event to celebrate Elina Penner's novel NIGHTBERRIES last evening. Thank you to all who attended & supported Elina's brief but wonderful Canadian book tour, especially German Canadian Congress - Manitoba! [📷IG repost]

I think we have already lived through the golden age of social media.

C'mon. Let's not start making a hierarchy of wackiness.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Aaaw, no, I've kinda dropped off social media. Is there anything good happening on the blue sky?

No insult intended. Just a Mennonite joke

In the Mennonite tradition (verenicke, not pierogi), you do the Rays first and then the Yankees

Makes sense. No one wants to think their ancestry has people (or even just one) who'd bicker over buttons and bicycles

None of those books have cocktail recipes. Just sayin.

I always thought it was because the roads followed the river but I like this better.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

I'm assuming they chose those letters in recognition of Anabaptism 500.

Ashamed at how long it took me to find "martyr" in today's NYT Spelling Bee.

It was a very different sort of film: Robin Hood argues with the rich about economic justice instead of using violence to steal from them; his followers sing hymns in between arguments; and they keep schisming into merry sub-bands

What a fiasco it was. Right after that, Canadian Tire showed up and claimed to already have bought it.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Looking forward to meeting you irl.

They have promised to stock Mennonightcaps and I have promised a recipe for a 500 yr anniversary cocktail. No talk of them serving cocktails tho.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Also including at least one Mennonite mixologist 🍸🍹

April is National Poetry Month. We need a break from all the news. I'll be adding to this 🧵for the balance of the month. Feel free to contribute.

From Mennonite Mission Network, the perfect footgear for a #GranolaMennonite

Dirkenstock: it's a sandal. It's an ice skate. It's a radical reformation of our most popular line.

To the person getting dressed every morning, buttons are a convenience. But convenience is also just another word for extravagance :)

010

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

But also - a lot more difficult for tailors and dressmakers. So, from the tailor's pow, buttons are an extravagance compared to pins

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Before buttons, people used pins to hold their clothes together. Even plain buttons were prettier.

Is it platz day for us Russian Mennonites? #PiDay

"Mennonite-coded." I'm thinking the family was singing 606 (118/20) as they walked.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

Just occurred to me that taking down interprovincial trade barriers could have implications for Mennonite farmers sausage #AffairOfTheSausages

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Nope. I do have a Munstirred cocktail in the book but it's always great to see others riffing on Anabaptist cocktail ideas.

Hey baby, you get me more worked than a Church budget meeting.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Huh. Not something I 've heard before. What kind of Mennonite?

100

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

We actually get pissed off a lot. We're just usually a lot more passive aggressive about it.

As a child, we had a family friend named Vicky who tried very hard to persuade me that Victoria Day was in her honour.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Has it not been officially re-named yet?

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

I will never stop trying to make the Day of the Sausages a thing.

090

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Also - you need to get the Day of the Sausages (March 9) on there.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Right. May 2-4 weekend has no place on the list.

I checked my liquor cabinet. I'll be fine without bourbon.

I know, right? People are so easily distracted.

Ah well, in a couple of years we get to celebrate the anniversary of the Munster as the New Jerusalem. Something to look forward to. #Mennonite #RadicalHope

Is it just me or did the 500th Anniversary of Anabaptism fly a little under the radar this year?

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Important PSA for Mennonites out skating. These stories from our past still have relevance today.

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

I have a cocktail in my book called the Holdemanhattan. It is the one true cocktail 😜

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Apparently some people didn't see the humour in the book *shrug*

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Tbh, the cocktails I have been using to commemorate #Anabaptism500 haven't been all that nuanced. #Mennonite

The Drunken Menno @drunkenmenno.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

The book had a way of lightening the mood even through it all. The movie, not so much. (Also my favorite Miriam Toews book.)

Decorations for my Anabaptism 500 cocktail party.
