Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Um, could you step out of the frame please? Not every photo is about you.

Chester….

Thank you.

MAGA: This is morally disgusting.

Bad Bunny: The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

Jesus: I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. -Matt 21: 31-32

Actually Matt, while American and Canadian football developed independently of each other; the root of the game known as "football" originated from an 1874 game between Harvard and McGill Universities, after which Americans adopted the Canadian school's more rugby-like rules.

So….

Bad Bunny’s finale may be the only time in history that Canadians had no issue with being called “American”.

Rendimiento increíble!

I used to be able to do about 6 months of social media at a stretch before “needing a break.”

Now I can do about a week. Maybe 10 days.

And the guy who ran the ring is on record saying that Trump is the worst person he’s ever met.

I mean, think about that.
Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Scholar Madeline Potter (author of 'The Roma: A Travelling History') did a talk on Heathcliff's Romani identity. It might be of interest (well-researched and really thorough)

I don't know if this is of interest but I've done a long thread with research on the book and adaptations in relation to Heathcliff's Romani identity if of interest!

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/

My other hot take on “Wuthering Heights”: while Brontë never explicitly identifies Heathcliff’s ethnicity, it is very clear he is not white and racial prejudice is a huge part of his story.

It’s odd Emerald Fennel would cast a part-Pakistani actor as Linton but a white actor as Heathcliff.

Some of the very friends who post constantly about privacy and the danger of spyware and technological surveillance are the same people posting those ChatGPT generated cartoons of themselves.

“Wuthering Heights” is not a romance.

It is a gothic novel about vengeance, cruelty, oppression and psychological obsession. It is not a “love story”.

I will die on this hill.

A very wise friend once said to me: “If you’re going to call yourself ‘progressive’ you have to give people space to progress.”

I think about that every time I see a celebration of progress met with a “yeah but…here’s all the things that are still wrong.”

We started watching “Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” and while the first episode left me a little bored, and I found understanding the accents difficult, the relationship between Ser Dunk and his squire Egg is so endearing and hilarious that I find myself invested.

With great respect, because I adore you George, ICE must be abolished.
ICE must be reined in. In Texas and everywhere else: Vote out the GOP, who are letting them run rampant.

The words spoken by the Muslim mayor of NYC sound far more like Jesus than anything ever said by “the greatest hope of Christianity America has ever known” (as Trump was called by Paula White-Cain at the National Prayer Breakfast)

Chester at the office with me today, where he has his very own dogbed covered with a quilt a parishioner made for him.

Apparently, this doesn’t meet his standard. 🙄
