This is my next read. Thanks @pulmyears.bsky.social ! I heard you’re writing a book on Catherine O’Hara…I hope that’s true! (Loved your KiTH book.)

Listening to @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social on CBC this morning talking about the viral Scientology video clips, then they played the Mission Impossible theme…about 5 seconds into it I realized the connection: Thomas Cruise Mapother IV!!!

114 years ago today. That’s me on the Titanic. First pic: I’m a porter pushing luggage for Molly Brown (Marylou Henner). Second: I’m a first class passenger just after we hit the iceberg. It was filmed in 1996 and came out as a two-part series with Tim Curry. Good cast but not a great storyline.

Good point! I want someone to push back and say “if you don’t want the Pope to meddle in politics then the President shouldn’t meddle in religion!”(That ridiculous meme of him as Jesus)

@maddow.bsky.social on MSNOW just now “Every time people push back on Trump, they win”…then she shows all the ways: closing some ICE camps (or not allowing them up and running), lawsuits that he’s lost, protests that make a difference in some towns, and on it goes… Powerful stuff! 🙂❤️

I was at this concert in Hamilton back in November, but I just realized @brianray.bsky.social played bass on “Now and Then”. Cool!

Nailed it. In the toolbox of “inerrancy, inspiration and univocality”, I’m now adding “cosplay”. Dan’s response would make a great introduction in a first class of a biblical studies class…or maybe a five-part series of five intro classes based on each of the claims.

This is my Danelectro Longhorn Bass, just hung this one up and I love it too. If you watch a Travelling Wilbury video, you’ll see Tom Petty plays the exact same model! Oh and that signed lithograph beside it? It’s a limited edition, HAND SIGNED art print titled “REVOLVER Sketch 1” by Klaus Voormann,

Not sure what it was called, but in grade 9 (1975) a teacher would invite a few of us to his class at lunch to see how these rolls of paper tape worked (about 1.5 inches wide?). I remember the paper had random holes punched here and there. Then we saw it in action…

Yeah, “hobby” sounds so trivial on some levels. A “meaningful pursuit” or “anchor” or “sustaining practice” feels more to the point …something that provides purpose, focus, and a sense of being fully engaged. I had that with teaching for sure…

Hobbies are great. Having too many can make them hard to juggle, but that’s still far better than not having any. Right now I’m consumed by something non-hobbyish, and it’s made it difficult to enjoy hobbies I love. That, in itself, has been a reminder of how grounding and affirming hobbies can be.
