Mary, @maryltrump.bsky.social, when my partner @revdrlily.bsky.social told me a year ago she'd been in love with me for nearly a decade, she played this song for me. Your latest post reminded me of it and had me sobbing in an airport lounge here at Heathrow. This is for you:

I have locked my Twitter account in advance of shutting it down on Monday. I’ve found BlueSky to be much more conducive to thoughtful discourse, while still being open to raging, sweary posts about serious criminality in politics. Better balance.

Please also be sure to give @revdrlily.bsky.social a follow. Lily is my partner. She is an Astrophysicist and now an Archdeacon here in England. I am a Canadian and European citizen happily living out the second half of my life with my best friend of 30 years. She is the very best human being I know

It is rather typical of the American evangelical wing to engage in this chest-beating defence of that which is indefensible. The sheer arrogance to assume that the Church was only truly enlightened and “correct” when Knox came into view is remarkable.

If you can tell me what this is and what it describes, I shall offer you a prize of incredible value - possibly even from Gregg's.
I feel odd posting something so obvious, however jackwritesthings.bsky.social told me if I want to make use of this account I - apparently - need to post items.
