Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

tbh not doing well today but the words of one of my favorite hymns came to me and now this verse along with the refrain is kinda echoing in my head. This is what I pray for and like the refrain implicitly says—what we must create ⚓

I lived until I was five years old in a village in the western part of Panama not accessible by car (you had to go by canoe on the river to get there). It's one of two places in the world that in my bones feels like home (the other is Houston, TX)

There are downsides to living somewhere that has Real Winter but the upside is I get to look out my window while I work and watch as the trees and decks and houses get covered in snow, and it is Beautiful

Praying for Jamaica and thinking about what the people there are going through and what they will be needing in the coming days—always a good time to support relief work, but especially now ⚓
892 mb and 185 mph. Very few places in the world in modern history have ever experienced what Jamaica is experiencing right now. Hurricanes of this magnitude directly hitting a major land mass are exceptionally rare.
A 10am EDT update from the National Hurricane Center now puts Melissa's sustained winds at 185 mph. Full text: www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh...?

what's wild to me about the supposed rapture date stuff is that in the evangelical world I was raised in, it was sacrilegious to predict the date of the rapture "no one knows the day or the hour", etc. etc.

I have a bracelet I have worn basically every day for the past six years since my sister gave it to me, and I realized I didn't have it on while getting ready for bed and cannot find it and am now Stressed. I looked all over our house to no avail and am hoping tomorrow I am better at looking

I want to be crystal clear:
My religion requires access to gender-affirming care and, indeed, *obliges me* to seek and defend that access for others.
Any laws that obstruct this are infringing on my religious freedom. As a Christian. ⚓

Today's my last full day in Houston, my last Sunday at the church that has been my community for the past four years, my last dinner at my best friends' house...it's a lot. I know that God-willing I will see these people all again, but it's hard, and if you pray, would love to be prayed for ⚓️

Having a poor sense of interoception is super fun (/s) because it’s like, “hmmm… something feels vaguely off? Maybe? Am I hungry? Or do I need to go to the bathroom? Am I tired? Who’s to say really?”

Really grateful to @cascadiafilmfest.bsky.social for the online festival because I got to watch a short film I'd been really excited about (Dandelion, directed by Fiona Obertinca and starring @vicmmic.bsky.social and Ava Lalezarzedeh), and it was SO SO good
