Also, big ask! Any of my mates on here trans or non-binary and Christian and wouldn't mind giving me a message? In discussing queer jesus for my diss I want to include a quote from a queer person describing the relationship between queer identities and their faith. Thanks 😊

in 1st century Judea, the corners of every field had to be left for the poor to pick crops for themselves, every seventh year *all* of the crops from fields and vineyards and orchards belonged to the poor, and all debts of all types were cancelled every 50th year.

Happy St Katherine's Day to all scholars, librarians, and Katherines. May you win an argument against an annoying man today, in the true spirit of Katherine herself.

I thought the whole point was that 007 and 'James Bond' were anonymous/pseudonyms and could therefore be anyone?
So just get a new one!

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

THEY ARE NOT ANY OF THE DAYS LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

I was intrigued to see which two of the Vatican’s ten Raphael tapestries were chosen for today’s unprecedented service in the Sistine Chapel. The tapestries are very rarely shown - was Pope Leo XIV conveying any message in the choice?

@evriofficial.bsky.social Anything to say about the parcels I received today? Even the photos taken by the delivery guy show how battered they are. New crockery badly damaged: 15 out of 24 completely broken. Tried to complain but you can only speak to a bot

Earlier this week I considered being that guy and speaking to my son's school about some of the stuff he's being taught; namely the existence of feminist spiders. Glad I didn't, as long story short, he can't pronounce the word venomous properly.
