Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of To Those Willing to Drown, by @markmatthews.bsky.social, which I *have* but *haven't read*. I gave it out before, because the author did his own promotion, and I like that sort of thing. If you read it, please let me know what you think...

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

post a perfect album from the '90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains. I listened to The Verve "Urban Hymns" on repeat for weeks on end, and still go back and revisit and it hits just as hard.

About a decade ago I learned that the term "Devi's Night" is regional. I grew up TPing houses and ringing doorbells or soaping windows and it probably wasn't the smartest thing a kid could do, but then shit got hellacious in nearby Detroit with mass fires.
