wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Good morning, beloved. The goal of understanding is not agreement, but communion. We seek to understand in order to avoid dehumanizing *ourselves* and others. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

This man is truly creative and genius 😍

0% equipment, 100% talent

Incredible work

Hehe, quick question, what do you see, chicken or bird🤔

@redeemed_zoomer @Templarpilled Oh, you're correct of course, but come on @redeemed_zoomer that's a damn funny meme. Lighten up.

@Templarpilled So we just lying now? (Protestant churches below)

So I watched The Matrix with my 11 year old daughter tonight thinking it would blow her mind. When it was over she said "why didn't the machines just colonize animals for energy to avoid a rebellion." I had no response

Good morning, beloved. Having good beliefs is good. But DOING good is far greater. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

@kevinmyoung @JudithW59659151 It's common in Eastern Orthodox iconography. This is one of my icons that I painted several years ago

@JudithW59659151 Wow! That is incredible! Had no idea anything of the sort existed.

Sometimes I wonder⁣ if Mary breastfed Jesus.⁣ if she cried out when he bit her⁣ or if she sobbed when he would not latch.⁣ and sometimes I wonder⁣ if this is all too vulgar⁣ to ask in a church⁣ full of men⁣ without milk stains on their shirts⁣ or coconut oil on their breasts⁣ preaching from pulpits off limits to the Mother of God.⁣ but then i think of feeding Jesus,⁣ birthing Jesus,⁣ the expulsion of blood⁣ and smell of sweat,⁣ the salt of a mother’s tears⁣ onto the soft head of the Salt of the Earth,⁣ feeling lonely⁣ and tired⁣ hungry⁣ annoyed⁣ overwhelmed⁣ loving⁣ and i think,⁣ if the vulgarity of birth is not⁣ honestly preached⁣ by men who carry power but not burden,⁣ who carry privilege but not labor,⁣ who carry authority but not submission,⁣ then it should not be preached at all.⁣ because the real scandal of the Birth of God⁣ lies in the cracked nipples of a⁣ 14 year old⁣ and not in the sermons of ministers⁣ who say women⁣ are too delicate⁣ to lead. — Kaitlin Hardy Shetler

@RevDaniel Yes, that's the one. I've been going on retreats here since around 2006/2007.

Heading to Saint Gregory's Abbey for my first retreat since March 2020. That last retreat coincided with the COVID lockdown order . This is long overdue

The more likely referent, if there's a reference to a painting at all, then is one of these paintings depicting a feast among the gods. Lastly, the supposed “table” of this supper or feast is the red carpet and catwalk of a fashion show, and not a table at all.

The artistic director even says that his reference is to the feast of the gods, harkening back to the ancient Greek origins of the Olympics, and made clear by having Dionysius make an appearance

A 🧵 I brushed off the controversy around the drag tableau for the opening ceremonies for the Paris Olympics. In part because I’m an iconographer. Da Vinci departed from tradition. But, squinting, I could see how some would find their way to see a parody of Da Vinci’s painting
