I still say TOS is my favorite Trek. I was literally raised on it. I have a deep love for TNG and DS9, too. But I've had enough. I'm full. Three courses of Star Trek is enough. And GalaxyQuest is still more truly ST than much of the canon franchise.

Unfortunately, Mango has declined further. She went to the vet again, but they still don't know what's wrong. She is still pretty young for a conure, being 15, and I want to try to save her. Please, if you're able to help out at all, my PayPal is amandabl89@gmail.com and my venmo is amandabl89

There have been technical difficulties and little mistakes in this service that only make it more charming and meaningful.
Listening to the Advent Carols service from Keble College, Oxford. Lots of delightful Advent L&C videos on YouTube. 🕯

i think the inability to tell the difference between "i don't like it" and "i don't like it so i have to figure out a way to imply this thing i don't like is morally evil" is the most fundie thing i see people who are aren't technically fundie regularly do these days

This was in the lobby of the amateur theater where I acted as a child, along with other famous posters. Formative influence!

Coming back to the Daily Office after a hiatus and being hit yet again with the Psalms describing the state of my soul, and the Prophets describing the state of the world. 🕯

Amena is the one person who understands this relationship
“Are you two talking?”
“Yes.” I had to look at the wall now.
Amena was still worried. “Are you fighting again or are you making up? Because it looks exactly the same from the outside.”
We’re making up, ART told her.

Anybody else remember those Windham Hill "A Winter's Solstice" albums of the '90s? Still essential Advent listening for me.

'Restaurant' comes from the same French word that gave us 'restore.' This is the reason why there is no 'n' in 'restaurateur.'

My radio host did *not* play "Wachet auf" during the weekly choral hour. OTOH, she did play the "Missa L'Homme arme sexti toni" of Josquin des Pres, and later on she played the whole of Holst's Planets.

It is indeed hilarious
Sounding way more intoxicated than he actually was, he said, “Wait, I got it,” and tapped the house’s feed to turn on the lights. And I was standing in the middle of the room. He screamed. (Yes, it was hilarious.)

I'm sorry, but I don't ever want to celebrate cauliflower.
Today is Septidi the 7th of Frimaire in the year 234.
Frimaire is the month of frost.
Today we celebrate cauliflower.#JacobinDay
