Annual reminder if God forbid you are thinking about it, giving up coffee for Lent is presuming to choose a penance for everyone around you.

I love me some Luxardo cherries (in Adult Beverages), and I love me some Cherry Coke. Why it has never occurred to me to try this is a mystery, but I’m gonna have to.
Put a couple of Luxardo cherries and a little of the syrup in a Coke, and boy that was a good decision. They really taste completely different than the cheap grocery store maraschinos.

God willing, I will never be Isaiah (because that would be traumatic to so many people.)

My money is on "8+ instances of the card game 'war'".
So I know this isn’t the most important point, but what are the 8+ wars that Trump believes that he’s stopped?

“I’d give my eye-teeth for… uh… an eye-tooth”
Brent Chapman can see again after doctors pulled out one of his teeth, flattened it, drilled a hole in it, placed a lens inside and implanted the tooth in one of his eyes. on.nbcboston.com/mRI06Sh
Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery
Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

“I’d give my eye-teeth for… uh… an eye-tooth”
This is a good essay. It should be read widely. (Though as someone who often wears kilts, I was momentarily taken aback by @schlesingene.bsky.social 's use of true/false Scotsmen wearing kilts to illustrate his point 😝) ⚓
I wrote this essay in anticipation of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. After this week's news cycle if feels distressingly more salient than when I was drafting it. ⚓
Lift High the Cross - The Living Church
If a theology of the cross leaves the powerful unchallenged, it’s a theology narrated from the perspective of Pilate, not the Nazarene.

@frame.work Howsabout it, huh? Ghosting paying customers isn't exactly cool (or, for that matter, good business).
I’m now two weeks into not having a functional laptop with no sign of having it replaced or refunded by @frame.work . I used to be a pretty big booster of them- fully modular? Less e-waste! I was hoping this would be my forever machine. Instead it has become my biggest computing regret.
