Yet another national leader from an EU country says they’d welcome a British return to the club…

It is, tbf, yet another nation formed by compounding and conflicting atrocities which makes discerning what is both just and fair a judgment tricky even for Solomon in his hay day.

Yes. There's been a conflating of "Israelis should be safe and assured of statehood with all its benefits and securities (giving a natural place of asylum for Jews and Jewish identity across the world)" with "the right of Israel to exist *as an exclusively Jewish state*" in an unhelpful way.

Greta Gerwig has cast Meryl Streep to voice Aslan in the forthcoming Narnia movie and the usual uproar has kicked off. Thinking about Christologies, masculinities, and the imago dei I’m arguing Streep is an excellent choice! bodiesinbecoming.substack.com/p/why-meryl-...

That's interesting. I had heard that compulsory voting in Australia worked well, but it sounds like you think the cultural difference means it wouldn't translate?

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Yes, indeed, but generally speaking, we're destructive because we're looking at the world around us as something to be *taken*, rather than lived with.

I was talking to one of the local Parks and Gardens team yesterday who was saying just that: we spend so much time thinking we need to be the Saviour of Nature, when, generally speaking, Nature would do just fine if we stopped being massively exploitative.

Slightly dramatic scenes outside @allsaintsmaidstone.bsky.social's cafe this morning, as we discovered half a tree has fallen down, laying waste to trees, bee hives and tombstones. @maidstonebc.bsky.social aware though, and Things, I gather, are In Hand.

Yew tree branches on the ground. You can just see the edge of a broken headstone beneath.

Headstone lying flat on the ground with a yew branch behind it.

Has anyone got a copy of the inclusive church advert that is apparently the Church Times today? I'd like a copy both for distributing but also a keepsake — (Littlest Teapot has his name in the lists 😯). ✝️

And now a good 36 hours without vomiting 💫.

Last night she ate with enthusiasm 💫😊.

(me to report, that is, not her)

Vet's best guess is that either she irritated her digestive tract when she stole a friggin' box of cereal (🙄) or all the medication around having her teeth out (plus stress etc) has upset her stomach. Either way she's on probiotics and anti-nausea and antacids with instructions to report tomorrow.

6. Until the 1840s, the Diocese of Canterbury jutted out 30 miles into the Diocese of Chichester because, a thousand years before, a King of Kent had given an Archbishop a house.

Map of Diocesan boundaries in 1835 showing a 30-mile-long corridor jutting out of Kent (Canterbury diocese) into Sussex (Chichester Diocese). It looks very odd.
