Jesus, I see what you’ve done for other people, and I want that for me.

Snapped this photo of my dog looking skeptical a few months ago and now my dad uses it in the group chat whenever someone says something out of pocket

We’ve had this cartoon up on the fridge for as long as we’ve been married and it still makes me laugh every time
A clipped New Yorker cartoon by Dan Roe that shows two priests in a work break room, with a third sticking his head in the door and saying, “Back to work, boys. Those mysteries of the Trinity aren’t going to grapple with themselves.”

Been reading Fratelli Tutti for an essay I’m working on and I keep coming back to this passage
Passage from Fratelli Tutti, an encyclical by the late Pope Francis. 241. Nor does this mean calling for forgiveness when it involves renouncing our own rights, confronting corrupt officials, criminals or those who would debase our dignity. We are called to love everyone, without exception; at the same time, loving an oppressor does not mean allowing him to keep oppressing us, or letting him think that what he does is acceptable. On the contrary, true love for an oppressor means seeking ways to make him cease his oppression; it means stripping him of a power that he does not know how to use, and that diminishes his own humanity and that of others. Forgiveness does not entail allowing oppressors to keep trampling on their own dignity and that of others, or letting criminals continue their wrongdoing. Those who suffer injustice have to defend strenuously their own rights and those of their family, precisely because they must preserve the dignity they have received as a loving gift from God. If a criminal has harmed me or a loved one, no one can forbid me from demanding justice and ensuring that this person – or anyone else – will not harm me, or others, again. This is entirely just; forgiveness does not forbid it but actually demands it. 242. The important thing is not to fuel anger, which is unhealthy for our own soul and the soul of our people, or to become obsessed with taking revenge and destroying the other. No one achieves inner peace or returns to a normal life in that way. The truth is that “no family, no group of neighbours, no ethnic group, much less a nation, has a future if the force that unites them, brings them together and resolves their differences is vengeance and hatred.

My exact experience today watching THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE back-to-back with IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU
Trent Reznor meme where he’s at a concert, saying: “How are you tonight? Having a good time? Ready to party? Have fun? Well that was the last guys. Wrong fucking band. We’re here to have a bad time.”

She’s helping me write my column
A brown brindle dog loosely curled up on an off-white couch. In front of her is an open notebook and a laptop, as though she’s writing. In reality, the writer got up to do something and this dog is an opportunist who likes to steal people’s seats.

I got the glow-in-the-dark petunias this year and I really hope I’m able to overwinter them in the basement, because I love these bad boys. They made me want to try other petunias!

Biked 27 miles today and once I get over the soreness from doing it this time, by golly I'd do it again

Okay it’s been more than two weeks since I watched it and I can’t stop thinking about it, which means it’s been *really* bothering me: the only colors in MAN OF STEEL that get to keep their real-world hue are the corporate logos
Screenshot from Man of Steel: Henry Cavill standing in the middle of Main Street USA with everything color graded dully, with the exception of a 7-11 sign in the background that maintains its jaunty bright colors Screenshot of a destroyed street from Man of Steel. In a long shot, Henry Cavill’s Superman talks with the National Guard, the Sears logo on a storefront looming ominously over everyone in its standard bright blue. Screenshot from Man of Steel: a Kryptonian picks up a U-Haul van to throw at a helicopter. Everything is color graded to look dusty except the bright green $19.95 rental sign on the back of the van.

Hey @briannaduggan.bsky.social—this latest one is jaw dropping
A print of a painting by Brianna Duggan. It’s a portrait of Charlize Theron as Furiosa: forehead painted black, head shaved, a wary look on her face. In the background is the desert and a furious vexation of cars in pursuit. The print looks a little shiny but that’s because I’m scared to take the protective sleeve off till I frame it.
