James Whistler Blue and Silver Trouville, 1865

Wet morning.

@richardrohlin That’s all I got for puns today.

Hello to everyone who recently found my profile for the first time. Here's my deal. I'm a deacon in the Orthodox Church in America, a medievalist, and a data analyst. Most of my public work has to do with the Venn diagram overlap of those three things. My favorite things to talk about are 1) Saints and hagiography, and 2) Ancient readings of Genesis, particularly from the Christian East. If you want to follow the work that I do you can look the following up on YouTube: Medieval Universal History on The Symbolic World (weird history stuff) How to Be an Orthodox Christian on Ancient Faith (Orthodox catechesis) The Great Tales on Ancient Faith (pre-modern storytelling) The Great Rood Screen on Ancient Faith (saints of pre-schism Britain and Ireland) The Orthodox Studies Institute (stats and analysis on Orthodox Christianity in America) I also play, design, and publish tabletop games as a hobby, and I like to talk about that from time to time. I have a long background in combat sports, and I also like to talk about that. My rules are 1) I'll talk to pretty much anyone about anything as long as you're buying the beer 2) I mute for rudeness and block for blasphemy 3) X is not the place where we are going to successfully relitigate established dogmas or universal truths, and if we understand that, we'll all have a better time here 4) Honestly I'm bad about remembering to follow people back but really good (or really bad) puns increase your odds.

@richardrohlin Ah, yet another YouTuber in search of gotchas and fake outrage. I pray one day she puts her sign down and actually comes inside with an open mind. May she find peace there.

Today we had a YouTuber show up to our parish, harass our parishioners as they were trying to go in and out of church, ask questions for shock value, and refused to actually meet with clergy to get their questions answered. Guessing there will be more of this to come.

They bought their husbands matching t-shirts without them knowing… and they all love it. 😂🥰

@Alicia701 @TheBabylonBee I know, right? How else are you supposed to get rid of them?

@TheBabylonBee It's wrong to bomb a spider? Oh.

We Asked AI To Simulate The First Woman President And The Results Are Exactly What You Expect

@TheBabylonBee I thought it was Trivial Pursuit.

@roddreher You know, some things really don’t need to be reposted.

Naturally, I blame William of Ockham

@The_Kyle_Mann The fears they faced, the faith they found, their common cause and common ground we carry with us come what may as we now face our destiny, our day.

@The_Kyle_Mann If it should be our destiny to live in such a day, let our faith and love be worthy of the ones who showed the way, the ones we now call heroes, the ones we say their memory will not die. They were no different in their day than you and I.

My 16yo son asked me to send him quotes about choosing to persevere, take the next step, and keep doing the right thing even in the hard times. These are a few I sent him. If you have any to add, please share.

This bird is a Dire Straits fan and sings their songs

@Anna53167231 @ClarksonsFarm1 That was my first thought.

@ClarksonsFarm1 Agreed, if there is no ticks...

Perfect!

@elonmusk This explains why I feel like we’ve been living in an extended episode of “Mean Girls.”
