Canadian friends may be pleased to see that I have enjoyed one of Ottawa’s great treasures. Americans may be pleased to learn that no beavers were harmed in the production of this snack.

Bonjour! Not to brag or anything, but I walked all the way from Ontario to Québec today.

I wish media would stop writing celebratory articles about the blue wave coming in November. Firstly, polls have been wildly wrong before. Secondly, we need to focus on getting people out to vote. It’s basic stuff.

It’s super ironic that for the “Season of Creation” we are wiping out whole forests to print massive service leaflets with bespoke liturgies. Want to honor creation? Just use the BCP. 📕

Dumb phones and watches that tick are looking increasingly tempting. I don’t want an “AI” dystopia. Would much prefer a reality in which human flourishing is prized. It’s just, you know, Christianity. ⚓️

Wisdom from a Lithuanian coffee shop. It’s true! This is the coffee shop version of “We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life.” ⚓️

Eighth-century St. Anne thinks the we should stop talking. Truly, a saint for our time. ⚓️ (This is in the Nubian art section of the Polish National Museum in Warsaw.)

I often work in coffee shops, and I’m grateful to be able to do so. But I gotta say, the vibe in this one is nice: it’s all coffee, conversation, and community. Commerce can wait. ☕️

At the airport, I have observed a new species: the Pseudo-Ted Loud-talking Dudebro. This creature is seen with ear buds, standing in a corridor for maximum visibility. Speaking into their phones at high volume, we see dramatic gestures with both hands as if speaking to a packed auditorium. 1/2

Why are the nations in an uproar? * Why do the peoples mutter empty threats? Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt, and the princes plot together, * against the Lord and against his Anointed? Daily Office psalter today ripped from the headlines. ⚓️

When I ran my own mail servers, I never had an outage anywhere near 7 hours. Looking at you, Microsoft, with your astonishingly long workday core service outage. I'm beginning to think AI bots don't make good system administrators.

Back in the day, Google claimed that their motto was “don’t be evil.” Nowadays, they seem to have adopted a new motto: “maximize evil in order to increase shareholder value”. As a consumer, this is duly noted.

Totally agree. And, on a related note, Benediction is an excellent way to “duly use” the Sacraments 🕯️

Was not expending to see this locomotive parked at Bangkok station

Scott Gunn @scottagunn.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

What’s he up to? Could be giving a traditional Thai greeting. Or he could be practicing to be an acolyte. Who can say?

“O Almighty and everlasting God, who didst give to thine apostle Bartholomew grace truly to believe and to preach thy Word: Grant, we beseech thee, unto thy Church to love what he believed and to preach what he taught; through Jesus Christ our Lord... Amen.” 🙏 🕯️

I’ve been to Christ Church Bangkok maybe half a dozen times, so naturally like all good Anglicans, I have a favorite post-church brunch place. Rocket Coffeebar did not disappoint!

Scott Gunn @scottagunn.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

It was a great blessing to celebrate the Lord’s Day with Anglican siblings in Bangkok. Nice mix of Victorian hymnody on organ with contemporary songs led by a praise band. Solid preaching on what the scriptures say to us about giving away our money.

Happy feast of Saint Mary the Virgin: Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ to all who celebrate. I assume everyone is keeping today's feast day as the prayer book prescribes it. ⚓️

I’m delighted that my reputation as a rubrical pedant is solidified. Hit me up any time if you want liturgical findings. ⚓️ I will just consult the Forward Movement edition of the BCP (with the words of Jesus in red). 🤪

Flight attendants in the US usually say something like “place your luggage in the overhead bins on their sides like books” but tonight we’ve evolved to “put your bags in like tacos.” Sure, literacy is on the decline. But our promised future of taco trucks is coming.

A gorgeous sunset this evening here in Tucson. And it’s cooled down to a crisp 95° (35° for non-US friends). I had a lovely stroll.

The collect today is a banger. We do need the leaders of our church to realize that self-denying is their first duty. Not getting more power, more prestige, or a more money. Sacrifice first. ⚓️

O gracious God, we remember before thee this day thy servant and apostle James, first among the Twelve to suffer martyrdom for the Name of Jesus Christ; and we pray that thou wilt pour out upon the leaders of thy Church that spirit of self-denying service by which alone they may have true authority among thy people; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Someday, I'd like to live on a continent where you can ride a train with some reasonable expectation it will be on time. That continent is not North America. Looking at you, Via Rail and Amtrak.
