Industrious I am. I have found candidates. What do you think?

I think my computer sticker says it all. "Never forget that Jesus was a brown-skinned healer, who empowered women, destroyed religious systems, loved the rejected, opposed our fascinations with power, and flipped the tables of oppression. His mission was neither lights, stages, nor influence."

Alleviating stress and celebrating the fact that Friday the 13th falls on Jason Voorhees’ birthday this year by marathoning my steelbooks while #knitting. If anyone could point me to a Mrs. Voorhees sweater pattern, that would be fabulous. #horrorsky #fridaythe13th

A photo of the backs of the first three Friday the 13th steelbook covers. They read “Kill her Mommy kill her!”, “You’re doomed! You’re all doomed!” and “Be right back…”

Rainy evening in Virginia, so I am spending it with an ARC set in this general area by the marvelous @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social. Apparently replete with dachshunds, my spirit animal! #booksky #amreading

Reposting because I neglected to add the alt text to the image: Keep paying attention and being loud about it. bookshop.org/a/6560/97803...

"You would phone a friend one day," Jean-Paul Sartre recalled, "and the telephone would ring and ring in the empty apartment; you would ring the doorbell and he would not come to the door; if the concierge broke in, you would find two chairs drawn up together in the hallway with German cigarette ends between the legs." Jews, Communists, members of the Resistance-anyone denounced as an enemy of the Third Reich—was at risk of a sudden arrest and deportation.”

quote from the book
Death in the City of Light by David King, with an image of the edge of the book’s cover

One of my favorite photos from last year’s visit to the National Cathedral, taken in the crypt after I received communion. It looks like anticipation feels to me. It also looks like Tori Amos and @hozier.bsky.social sound, if that makes sense. The crypt felt like home; I wish I were there still.

Two stone columns surround a dark recess, which is roped off. It contains red velvet curtains, an upright piano, and, behind the piano, organ pipes in the dark.

I also reported it myself. Calling for someone’s deportation because of something they said violates their constitutional rights and endangers them.

Carla Pettigrew @theremightbecupcakes.com · 21/01/2025

@aoc.bsky.social this needs to be reported to the Ethics Committee. A sitting Representative is calling for an American citizen to be deported in writing, because this person said something they didn’t like.

I just wrote a thread about how complicated the behavior and language is in the Neil Gaiman case, and how I know how that could happen first-hand bsky.app/profile/ther... so it is time to knit and decompress. Here is some eyebleach for your timeline: the ever-delightful Moo Deng.

Stand up against what’s going on. That’s love. Remember Jesus didn’t just flip tables in the temple, he took the time to fashion a whip first. He also said “Did I stutter?” when he was challenged on this (John 8:43). 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♿️ Exclusionary American theology is *dangerous*, and it isn’t Christianity.

the-transfeminine-mystique post says:

Like, our stance towards exclusionary theology should not be "well actually if we look in the Bible we can see that it never actually forbids being gay," but instead "how fucking dare you presume to delimit God's love? What blasphemous arrogance could have possibly led you to where you are? When did you start worshipping your own image in place of the Divine?"

"The only clear line I draw these days is this: when my religion tries to come between me and my neighbor, I will choose my neighbor...Jesus never commanded me to love my religion."

Remembering President Carter as the first American president to celebrate Hanukkah at the White House. Representation and inclusion matter. A seat at the table is for everyone. Rest in peace and power, Mr. President.

For those of you looking for an Audible alternative, given the current climate, libro is fabulous. I am supporting Judy Blume’s stores Books & Books with every purchase, and the app lets me know if a book is recommended by her staff. libro.fm/referral?rf_... Here’s some app interface images.

Shows how audiobooks can be organized by tag and are auto-organized by genre

New Duolingo graphics took me by surprise. 😀

Duo the green owl is so shocked that his brain popped out of the top of his head. His brain is also making a shocked face.

Arlo Guthrie on the left, who is now 18, and his protective baby brother, October “Toby” Holden, named so because he can spot a phony at ten paces. Both rescues. This was Thanksgiving—Arlo was napping, and Toby was flirting with his grandma. They are both some flavor of pittie mix.

This is hoarding. It’s evil. This is why I am disconnecting from Goodreads, no longer shopping at Amazon, and why I left Twitter and am leaving FB and IG. I am reconsidering all my daily interactions in light of recent events. I can’t be a part of this, even passively.

Yes, he did. And so beautifully. With relish.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate, however you do celebrate this flawed holiday. Be safe and warm and fed and loved. We will get through all this only if we are together. I’m with you. Please be with me.

I binge listened to Hozier while exploring the crypt of the National Cathedral alone, on the day of the eclipse, and that synergy was the highlight of my year.

I created an autistic teen Sim using SnootySims mod (snootysims.com/wiki/sims-4/...). How well does it work? Here are Ophelia’s adorable selfies. Yep, actually autistic. 😁 Doesn’t look quite at the camera, awkward stances, appears a little uncomfortable with the whole idea…I love her.
