Co-option? Appropriation? Reframing?
I’m surprised it was such a flop when it came out. I wonder if it would fare better today.
Stop motion (a medium painstakingly crafted by human hands) feels like it might pick-up a kind of premium in this age of AI slop.
A 21st-century Arts and Crafts movement? William Morris, eat your heart out.

I believe that Queries are one of Quakerism’s gifts to the wider Church.
Fun fact: I once shared some of my favourite Quaker queries with my Anglican spiritual director, and she warmly thanked me for passing on “these Quaker guidelines”.
Which was slightly jarring and I couldn't quite describe why.

I’m a 2/3 hybrid – we are cringe and that’s okay, and everyone else is cringe and that’s okay.
To live is to cringe and be cringe… and that’s okay.

Yes, cruel but also stupid. Much of the protection these kinds of scammers have is the shame of their victims. Surely Fabien publicising this by sharing the video is shooting himself in the foot just to be extra nasty.

We had a Cafe Church-style service round coffee tables in the church hall. In small groups we discussed where we are heading as a church, and who are we willing to notice along the way. Always great to hear about other's experiences of faith, especially when so different from mine.

I was stuck by how they used COVID, the sections in the modern day are set just as the pandemic started.
You really feel Kristófer's isolation, disjointed memory, and the urgency of time slipping away in the masks, enforced social distancing, and near empty hotels as he seaches.
