My nephew sent me this one from about 30 miles south of Minneapolis (he works at St Olaf. He drove out away from the town and saw them nice and clear)

I’m a fast reader and once I’m in a book, I’m IN. And it goes by in this way for me that is immersive in my imagination: I see scenes and hear the characters talking and moving and it’s like I fell into some kind of portal. Audiobooks don’t do that for me. Or videos.

But Kara it’s still 96 degrees outside… why can’t we have nice things like temps in the 80s?!

One of my besties makes the most baller black bean dip. She always like “it’s easy to make” trying to share the recipe and stuff but I be like “no no it’s best from your hands.”

But much of the older part of my town (Whittier) was destroyed or badly damaged. We just didn’t know at the time and she joked with us and kept all the kids from freaking out and I think back now on how absolutely professional that woman was.

I took the bus in elementary school. I was on the bus waiting at a stop when we experienced a large earthquake- Whittier Narrows in ‘87. Our driver calmed everyone and took us to school. I never knew anything was really wrong at the time because she handled it so well.

Those are the big names who do it broadly. If you want the people who specialize specifically on the Pentecostal side of Christian nationalism (currently majorly influential on this admin) I have a different list of names, so DM me.

@bradleyonishi.bsky.social is your man. He’s been doing it for a long time on his podcast Straight White American Jesus. Also @antheabutler.bsky.social and @kkdumez.bsky.social (I’m American religious historian so these are the big names in the field. They all are very busy people)

As someone who grew up there, lots of people think So Cal is one thing but the locals know it’s another. People are genuinely friendly. My 82 year old dad has neighbors who come and chat with him on the daily. Also make sure you eat all the different ethnic foods because that’s what we excel at.

History of Jazz. Loved it, and now whenever I hear jazz on the radio I feel like I at least know things about the style being played, instruments or musician.

The mainline Protestant breakfast tacos before services in the historic southwestern Latino Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches are something to behold (and yes I might be writing about the importance of food in congregations this way.)

That memorial got me. It hits hard. It’s so well done and it’s really, next to the Vietnam war memorial, an example of what a memorial should be. Also you get the sense of how in the middle of the city it was when it happened.

Young Gen x or “Oregon Trail” generation— we didn’t but my parents did earthquake drill me as a kid. Had to keep shoes near the bed at night, knew where to duck and cover and learned how to turn off gas to the house if I was home alone. Californian and my town got trashed in a quake in ‘87.

I give you Lenny being a defiant lil bastard who mean mugged me after I told him to stop chasing his sister. He’s adorable AF even when acting like a toddler.

These are all so beautiful. I really like the poncho— did you use a pattern or did you free hand it?
