A whole view of life is captured in the Old English word dūstsċēawung, which meant ‘dust-watching’ or ‘contemplation of dust’. People would watch motes of dust float in the sunlight, and think about how the dust used to be other things. A book, a tree, the walls of a city—a people, when it ceases to love itself—all will fade like the shouts of children on a summer day, or vanish like the memory of a dream. (IPA: [ˈduːstˌʃæɑ̯.wʊŋɡ])

this picture makes it seem more human, like something you’d take through an airplane window with your cellphone.

Allow me to rock your world.
America has about 6000 hospitals. 5121 of those are publicly accessible and 1224 are completely free. That's twice as many charity hospitals as Canada has Tim Horton's. Literally.
Then, when you see a doctor, the doctor speaks English and went to school somewhere you've heard of. Harvard is not the only way to get educated, but it is nice in the fall.
We don't push people into medically assisted suicide for cost reasons.
We don't ask people with emergency conditions to sit in the ER for 10 hours before they see a doctor.
So yes, if you have a cutting-edge disease and you go to a private hospital and get the best care in the world, you're on the hook for it.
But note that you are also ALIVE.
Mark Slapinski@mark_slapinski
People say Canadian healthcare is not free, because we pay taxes for it. But in America, people pay taxes and still have to pay for healthcare out of their pockets. And if they are broke, the hospital tells them to go die.

If your name includes a dental fricative - e.g. Anthony, Theodore, Nathaniel, Samantha, Elizabeth, Catherine, etc. - native speakers of the overwhelming majority of the world's languages cannot pronounce your name properly. If you're living or traveling outside of the Anglosphere you learn to adapt to this, accepting whatever the most common local mispronunciation happens to be, because the alternative of lecturing every single person you encounter on the finer points of English phonetics is actually insane.

Say my name right! If you can say Tina, you can say Ming-Na. And Wen is my last name. Happy AAPI Heritage month!

Overheard at the park: "Mom, there's a goose. Can I follow him?"

I think it depends on the diocese, I was told by the previous secretary that the Big Blue Book of Rules says "yes, we have to go to a different priest" but I myself have never opened the book she was talking about to check because I preferred to go elsewhere anyway. She is no longer the secretary and the new one does not know where this hypothetical book is so I have no way to check now.

If you work at your parish (not volunteer, actually on the payroll), do you have to go to a different parish for confession?

The haunting sound that Roman soldiers would have heard from their Celtic enemies before battle came from the Carnyx, an ancient wind instrument used between 200 BC and 200 AD.

Something about this makes the scene feel more real and less like a still from a sci fi move. So so cool.

@sadgirlyboss I would respond with "terms accepted, take this a proposal to marry just like our great great grandparents who had little concept of dating. I will ask again in two months if the answer is no."

Little kids are hilarious. I’m playing Go Fish and on the first round decided to answer politely when asked for cards. Now, every round, there is a 5yo and a 7yo declaring w/ utter solemnity “indeed I do” and “sadly, no—GO FISH!”

"You, who know the desires of my heart, help me find that special person with whom to share my life, a sincere, respectful love, full of kindness. Take away the loneliness I feel and fill my life with the joy of a love that completes me"
I love St. Anthony of Padua
Universitarios Católicos@UniCatolicos_es
Oración a San Antonio de Padua para solteros “Glorioso San Antonio de Padua, tú que eres el protector de los enamorados y el auxiliador de quienes buscan el amor verdadero, te pido humildemente que intercedas por mí ante el Señor. Tú, que conoces los anhelos de mi corazón, ayúdame a encontrar a esa persona especial con quien compartir mi vida, un amor sincero, respetuoso y lleno de bondad. Haz que desaparezca la soledad que siento y llena mi vida con la alegría de un amor que me complemente. San Antonio, experto en los asuntos del corazón, guía mis pasos por el camino del amor puro y duradero. Que mi alma gemela llegue a mí, alguien noble, generoso y dispuesto a dar y recibir amor con un corazón abierto. Confío en tu poderosa intercesión y en tu infinita bondad. No permitas que mis súplicas queden sin respuesta, y ayúdame a prepararme para recibir este regalo con gratitud y fe. Amén”.

I'm not someone who thinks that any being who has been regarded as a god is automatically a demon; even St. John the Apostle worshipped an angel by mistake in Revelation 19:10, presumably because he thought it was God. That said, some of y'all's guys are definitely demons.

Higher Ed just keeps shooting itself in the foot. People who argue to fix the system from within ignore that those who do are quickly punished and expelled.

High profile scandals involving pro-abortion professors, LGBTQ agendas, etc, draw the most concern over Notre Dame's identity as a Catholic university. But the ousting of a beloved, mission-oriented teaching prof is another sinister form of this drift. ndsmcobserver.com/article/2026/0…

Stoicism is the philosophy of slaves (Epictetus), unjustly condemned men awaiting death (Seneca), and emperors of a dying empire (Marcus Aurelius).
It became the philosophy of people who couldn’t control events, but still needed to feel sovereign over a dwindling sphere.
Roman Helmet Guy@romanhelmetguy
Stoicism is popular because apathy is the sickness of our age and stoicism glorifies it. Stoicism is cope for living in a dying society. Stoicism is managed decline. You need to become anti-stoic. You need to become so passionate it’s self-destructive.
