I’m making it a goal to submit poetry for publication over the coming year.
Anyone have good suggestions of publications that may be interested in Christian/Catholic sonnets?

I hear we're talking about converts. I have thoughts, but what struck me today (while walking all over the grounds of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe) was that Juan Diego was a fairly recent convert, he was absolutely earnest in his love of the Lord, and Mary chose him.

@LucastaHonoria I can submit a “claim” to my vision insurance using the Warby Parker receipt and they reimburse me a certain amount. May be worth looking into!
English
Hahaha I was right, cash pay from the online retailer is still less than just the copay would have been at the optician's office (even though I have to pay the whole cost and don't get to use my frame benefit)

Huzzah! I have a new prescription, and it's going to be progressive lenses. Now I have to figure out if the insurance scam is going to save me any money over self-pay from the cool online retailer

@franzsherbert It’s been one of my favorites since high school! I think part of that secret is that it’s got a little bit of everything: humor, romance, music, tragedy, peril, Bogart.

@Builtahouse @LizEHansen It’s like “ok, the thing he GOT cancelled for isn’t even the thing he STAYED cancelled for”

@LCTMH @LizEHansen sometimes I hear the MBMBAM theme song, and think about Bean Dad again, & wonder how I will explain this to anyone who isn't online ever
English
Talking this morning about panic-buying some dry goods, and @LizEHansen called me “bean dad”. I told her “you can’t call me that in public — that guy got super-canceled!”

I haven't seen the film yet, but I've read the book, and I found it be intensely political. It portrays centralized political authority as a necessity, is strongly pro-science research and education, and the protagonist chooses to forfeit his life to save the lives of foreigners.

I know I'm late to the party, but FYI "Project Hail Mary" is a really fun movie. We took our 9, 13, and 15 yo, and loved it. Not a remake, not a franchise, no political agendas, no sex scenes, no swearing I can remember. Some intensity. It was just a good story.

How can we Sonic-bully a company into bringing back colorful movies?
Abbey@BurnishedAbbey
Not to sound like a broken record but why does it look like that
English
@MmePapyraceus Yeah the initial dig on his clothes is rude, and I think their outfits look nice. But based on this post alone, he doesn’t seem very normal about other people’s clothes either… might be an example of a toxic cycle.

@franzsherbert Do you think the cast from the Hillbilly Elegy movie had a sequel in their contract?
English
I feel like you have to write this book before you repeatedly demonstrate in the most public way imaginable that you are somehow the least principled, most power-obsessed person in US politics. On the other hand a lot of people will forget about that and lap up this slop anyway
JD Vance@JDVance
I’ve been writing this book for a long time, and I’m honored to finally be able to share the full story with you all. Communion is about my personal journey and how I found my way back to faith. It will be available in June, but you can pre-order today: a.co/d/0cTpceI7

A lot of that is Trump himself and the cretins she elevates to power, and I genuinely hope when he’s gone the temperature starts to come down. But people on the fringe-right have been talking about “turning the desert to glass” since I was old enough to engage in politics.
English
This is what the “cruelty is the point” types have been harping on since the beginning. Whether it’s trans people, Somalian-Americans, or Iranians — there is a real desire and political will in MAGA to commit atrocities. Specifically to cross lines and go beyond the pale.
Rod Dreher@roddreher
Trump is now threatening to blow up Iranian desalination plants, which would deprive millions of fresh water. If that's not a war crime, what is?

@tweetmobb Dreams says it has a “fox wedding”, which sounds delightful!

@Builtahouse That’s an interesting idea that I’ll have to keep in mind next time I rewatch. I didn’t interpret it as “all magic and science is fake”, but rather that they found the only real magic IN science, but didn’t think of anything better to do with it than a bigger trick.
English
@LCTMH on successive watches, I can certainly see that message (and it does illustrate how little ambition matters next to tangible relationships!!) I just think the idea of turning ALL "magic" (& science, too!) into a fake/harmful game of charades is sooo nihilistic.

i want whatever happened in christopher nolan's life between the making of the prestige (2006) and interstellar (2014)
English
@Builtahouse I would typically say Prestige is my favorite Nolan (tho not my favorite director). It’s been a few years since I’ve watched it, but I think there’s a through line here of “what if life is fake and love is all that matters”.
English
the prestige is the most beautifully made, philosophically repugnant movie to me (next to the dark knight) all "what if anything magical in life was a lie, perhaps worth dying for" but it's so cool he's grown out of it
English
During PHM @LizEHansen leaned over and said “this is like Return of the King”.

sometimes a movie has seven different endings over the course of 45 minutes and you just have to let that happen
