@MissalModernist Perhaps we'd need to discover the cultural and chemical equivalent to washing in Xynenian culture, and build on that.

@DylPar252 Xynon is a rational being from a planet 500 light years away, created to glorify God forever. However, Xynon’s body consists of a cluster of thin fibers a few cells thick, like cotton candy, and would dissolve immediately upon contact with liquid water. Would you baptize Xynon?

@Snommelp1 Yep, I've also read that. It feels like you're being efficient while you're actually doing a much worse job on everything.

@BaptoHammer About a year into this appointment, people had stopped calling my office phone. I was thrilled.
Came to find that the Roomba had smacked into the phone jack and broke it.

@poetinbabylon This is a good angle! Hoping I remember it in three years.

@stenersonMN I do not 😌
In all seriousness, I've mostly gotten over it as time has passed by recognizing I have to get away occasionally to function well.
It was especially hard at the beginning because it seemed like someone died every single time I left.

@lib_crusher It's called the Supreme Court and their feedback is Democrats aren't allowed to do any policy

@Sharon_Kuruvila He will be Joe Manchin at best and that's fine because it's Nebraska, but it's goofy to act like he's Bob LaFollette

@blagojevism It always seems to excite people when Obama scolds black men, as a once-again-salient writer pointed out eleven years ago: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
English
IMO American liberals simply love moral exhortations, and sometimes this comes at the expense of more persuasive appeals.

I don’t really understand who Obama was trying to convince with that speech. Not sure if people respond to ‘you’re only doing that thing bc you’re a misogynist’ with ‘oh yeah that’s true.’

@EdwardVersaii People say western Pennsylvania is the midwest but this tweet had me briefly wondering why you went to a hardware store for hot dog buns

@riseandgrindcor I drove up to the Incline and could just barely see a pink haze. But the camera caught it way better.

@imaginarylilguy I'd find some crazy cool stuff. I remember looking for something on the Gospels, and running across a book that had an inscription that it belonged to a (now-obscure) early 20th c. NT scholar who used to teach at my college.

@lfickvitch Do you know how thrilling it is for me to read this and multiple replies that are like "yeah I kinda like the UMC too"
English
@BethanyUA At the very least, a worship component should be there, and a meaningful emphasis on connection between the church and the broader UMC.
As for how the business piece might be rebooted... I don't honestly know.

@DylPar252 What are your ideas/suggestions? My church is hosting one for our area this year.

@helloitislivy I tried to make myself believe ashwagandha does something for me mentally, but alas I don't think it does.
Magnesium I do not *feel*, but I'm not exercising and my stress levels sure as hell aren't down, but something's dropping my blood pressure.
English
@DylPar252 I have a magnesium + ashwagandha combo supplement and it’s truly saving my life I think
English
@houk_linda It's very much "look at this heretic PRIESTESS" rather than "there are Christological problems in this sermon"
English
@DylPar252 No, not really. I'm glad I missed that but I'm also not surprised that she would possibly be attacked more because she's a woman than any conclusion she came to in a sermon.
English
@ancientspeak My therapist has never attempted to CBT me, and the more I learn about it, I suspect it's because I already do it to myself when I feel anything and that's the entire problem

@jrbrownfield @episcopilled An amusingly radical (but of course correct!) departure from the, uh, historic attitude of the Diocese of Pittsburgh
