We have this guy saying this stuff with his whole chest and then we have people who are worried about speaking up/out because they weren’t born with the same privilege as this mediocre white guy.

Everything Sad is Untrue by Nayeri is also so good. But definitely hard to read in parts so know your kid.

God bless this reporter for pausing to notice and describe Dennis Rodman’s pants.

This is so sad. I remember when they left bsky because everyone here was mean and in a death cult (paraphrasing). Conversely, I left Twitter for my mental health and so I’ve missed all this. Yikes. What a roller coaster for the kids.

Korean and Japanese sunscreen is all I use now. It feels amazing and doesn’t make my face feel like it’s suffocating.

I mean in all seriousness, if he had a Paul or Zaccheus style moment, that would be pretty epic. In reading Live Laugh Love ( @kkdumez.bsky.social) I learned he was exposed to a pretty warped performance-based view of God’s love as a young person.

Was it because it was still too expensive or because you couldn’t tell if it had proper food safety identification ?

I’ve yet to see a more apt metaphor for this state than when Big Tex burnt in 2012. Hope springs eternal but it can always go pear shaped.

A picture of Big Tex, a giant talking statue that greets fair goers at the State Fair of Texas. In 2012, Big Tex caught fire during the last week of the fair.

I’m adopting the same attitude I had when the Rangers were in the World Series in ‘23. It’s not done until the last out. Until then I expect we’re probably gonna blow the lead/save.

And lo,those of us who excelled in reading many paged tomes often did not excel in other subjects and were verily told that if we just applied ourselves more, we would obtain better outcomes in our examinations. A physician of the mind would later diagnose a disorder of a deficit of attention. #adhd

@kkdumez.bsky.social makes a comparison between MLMs and American evangelicalism in Live Laugh Love that I’ve been mulling over for a while now. When I learned how the church planting system worked and how discipleship was “supposed” to work in the A29 system i immediately thought of this clip.

When I was born in the ‘80s I had a GBS infection. They accidentally put me in a room with a baby that had meningitis for a hot second. My mom still tells the story of how my dr was infuriated at the carelessness. This is also infuriating for these babies and their caregivers.

I don’t have multiple homes, I’m not from California, I’ve never been impeached, never committed adultery, the list goes on. So no, I can’t think of a favorite drag queen, unless the characters in “To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything” count. But I can see Talarico’s faith in action.

Jordan @jspray.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Judging by the amount of texts messages trying to tell me I shouldn’t vote for @jamestalarico.bsky.social, I think the Republicans are sort of worried. They’re really working overtime to tell me how I don’t share the same values as Talarico. But…I definitely have way less in common with Paxton. 1/2

“He is the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, not in a Little House on the Prairie way or a Farmhouse Movement way, but in the Messiah way. Christ has finished the work; we cannot improve upon it, no matter how many essential oils we buy.” Whew, that is a word. Preach, sister.

@amycolleen.bsky.social’s review of LIVE LAUGH LOVE (which I forgot I preordered until I went to buy it this week and found jt in my Kindle already) is good but also it’s encouraging.

James Bond as Uncle Andrew? That’s an odd choice.

So fine, Meryl Streep is aslan. But who is Jadis? The role needs someone with Helena Bonham Carter’s energy but Tilda Swinton’s frost quotient.

This account has become one of my favorites. Members of the press pool describing stuff in totally mundane ways, just casually narrating the day by day moments of the administration from Hades.

Dolly Parton had the best lines in Steel Magnolias and it’s not even close.

25 years ago, almost every plane that was over the North Atlantic when the second tower was hit was forced to land in Newfoundland. A call was on the radio: they needed folks who spoke various languages to come to the stadium to help organize the sea of humanity that just showed up at our door.

I won’t say I completely understood “The Mob Song” from Beauty and the Beast when I saw it as a child. But man, “We don’t like what we don’t understand, in fact it scares us.” is such a timeless line, esp when you consider that Howard Ashman (d. 1991 AIDS) was the lyricist. #disney

This Vinted description of a Mockingjay pin like it’s a vintage artifact is sending me this morning. 😂 Reads like AI as well. #vintedhumor

Image shows a replica Mockingjay pin from the Hunger Games book and movie series.
The description makes it sound like a vintage artifact. Partially visible text reads “This vintage brass pin badge features a detailed design of a bird holding an arrow, encircled by a ring. Made in China, the badge is sturdy and well-“

I am getting increasingly more desperate sounding texts about the convention in Dallas this week. Four texts in 5 days? Yikes. #midtermconvention

Two Text messages offering free tickets to the Midterm Convention. Dated Tuesday and today.

A text dated yesterday saying it’s the last chance for tickets.

Text offering free tickets I received Thursday.

That was a heck of a crash for Leclerc. Glad to see him out of the car. The tire barrier, helmet and safety gear did their job. #f1 #monza

This article is fascinating. Not in the least because of this tidbit.

An excerpt from the article that says “In 1980, Mr T won an NBC show called America's Toughest Bouncer. The thing is, he says, there were tougher men than him in the competition, but they didn't have the right”

I love this account. Reading this sentence in such a matter of fact framing just adds to dystopian feel. It could easily be from a novel but alas, it is real life.

Okay, forget Young Hawkes. If I were single and in the Lion universe, I would like to meet the man who makes bespoke personal book bindings for Emma. That is an attractive quality in a man. #emmamlion

Young Hawkes is my current fave although Pierce is a close second. This series is like if Anne and Valancy and Jo merged into a character and each got to bring a few people from their town/story.

Yesterday I learned about a Jollof Rice festival and a giant soap box derby race in Portland OR thanks to @npr.org. I think a festival centered around different versions of a tasty rice dish sounds awesome.
