have to stay for evensong, so am doing the do I go to the hostile coffee shop with good coffee or the bad but normal coffee shop? I am obsessed with every review I read of the hostile coffee shop
Google review: 2:241 R Rebecca M 1 review .. 6 days ago I'm a little bit stunned that I have to write this review... It was my first time in and I ordered a hot chai latte with a shot of espresso. The woman waiting on me told me that they don't put espresso into the chai. I thought it was a little odd, but I said OK. I asked her why they don't put the espresso into the chai and she said that it was because it wasn't the vision of the owner. Again, I thought it was odd, but told her I would pour the espresso in myself. She made the espresso and set it on the counter, and I was waiting for my chai to come out. She said to me, "the owner would prefer if you drank the espresso now and not pour it in to your chai". I calmly said, "i don't want the espresso by itself. I will pour it into my chai." And then, in a stunning turn of events, she said, " If you pour the espresso into your chai, we will ask that you don't retuen." She said that they have enough business and they would be just fine if I don't return. Don't worry, I won't inconvenience you again with having to watch me pour an espresso into a $9 drink that I paid for and will be consuming. I highly suggest that you stay away from this arrogant place. Service: 1 00 3

this section also grabbed me as someone who has been a chaplain in nursing homes.
And we cannot accept a vision of health reform that leaves the most vulnerable behind in order to win the "middle." Eldercare is crumbling. Long-term care is treated like a fiscal liability instead of a basic social good. People are dying in nursing homes that operate as decentralized, austerity-driven warehouses. In-home care remains unfunded, undervalued, and excluded from every "serious" conversation about healthcare. Drugs developed with public funding are locked behind patents and priced like luxury commodities maximized for shareholder profit, not survival. We're told innovation requires this cruelty-but we know better. ...In the end, our elders slip into oblivion beneath flickering fluorescent lights, while care workers-crushed by impossible demands and invisible chains-stand as quiet witnesses to this cruelty, their exhaustion a testament to a system that profits from their sacrifice. And all the while, the architects of this atrocity toast their dividends with blood-stained hands. And we cannot afford to wait—just as we've long said in the fight for Medicare for All, we 1

To answer that, we need to start by asking a question that is deceptively basic, and is in fact incredibly hard to answer: What is care? Not care as it appears in the dogma of reimbursement codes, in metrics, statistics, or clinical workflows. Not care as in eligibility or compliance, but care as people want to experience it and as they imagine it. As they need it to be. As we long for it to be. Care as an act of mutual responsibility. Care as a relation. Care as a commitment. Care as a set of material conditions that are met, and in so doing life is made possible. Because the truth is, most people hold an expansive vision of what care ought to be. And they are right to. We imagine care means being tended to when sick, receiving support in moments of crisis, living with dignity. We imagine care means being seen, believed, held, treated. We imagine that care is widely available. That it can heal. Offer answers, transparency. That it is ours.

30 day psalter says fuck the Supreme Court and its death dealing ways
18 As often as I said, "My foot has slipped," * your love, O LORD, upheld me. 19 When many cares fill my mind, * your consolations cheer my soul. 20 Can a corrupt tribunal have any part with you, * one which frames evil into law? 21 They conspire against the life of the just * and condemn the innocent to death. 22 But the LORD has become my stronghold, * and my God the rock of my trust. 23 He will turn their wickedness back upon them and destroy them in their own malice; * the LORD our God will destroy them. Nineteenth Day: Morning Prayer 95 Venite, exultemus 1 Come, let us sing to the LORD; * let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving * and raise a loud shout to him with psalms. 3 For the LORD is a great God, * and a great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the caverns of the earth, * and the heights of the hills are his also. 5 The sea is his, for he made it, * and his hand
