readnbfree.bsky.social @readnbfree.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Good to know, Diana! We are heading to Ireland in September, and I've been following your trip with interest, worried about the general feeling toward Americans right now. Perhaps we can get "We Didn't Vote for Him" t-shirts made?😂 000

readnbfree.bsky.social @readnbfree.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I wonder if there is someone out there who could, Banksy-style, caption every image of T*p in DC with "OZYMANDIAS." Especially the arch. It's just begging to be called The Ozymandias Arch. 100

Read the meditation from @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social's gorgeous new book, then bake the traditional bread by Kendall Vanderslice. It's going to be a beautiful (and perhaps fattening) liturgical year. Advent starts in 3 weeks, so get your books now! 073
