I've been reading a lot of the sayings of the Desert Fathers recently, collections of quotes and parables from monks who lived in the Egyptian Desert from around 270ad. And there's a lot to be learned from them, but if I may, I'd like to paraphrase one which I think bluesky really needs to hear...

If your heart hurts, you are not alone. This librarian is sitting next to you on the struggle bookmobile. But I would like to thank you for staying. Our story is not over, we’ve got more chapters to write (: See you tomorrow, friends ; 💚

Incredible moment just now on the train platform. A bloke cracks out x2 such loud farts that his girlfriend storms away in disgust. When he follows, she gives him a colossal bollocking, of which I only heard the following excerpts: “It’s not funny… I’m sick of it… Not just tonight… At the funeral.”

Watching Heroes again, this time with Libby. Fascinating (a) how gripping she finds it; and (b) how much I’ve forgotten.

Well, no, they’re not just as wrong. The bigger error is not seeing that “trying to win over voters from a party on the opposite end of the spectrum, whose values your core voters oppose” is not same as “chasing voters from party on same side ideologically whose values your core voters like.”

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...
