I’m on my way to Canterbury today. What prayers can I bring to the place of St. Thomas Becket’s martyrdom for you?
I would really appreciate your prayers for my mom. She fell today, they took her to the ER and sent her home, and then she fell again. So she’s going back to the hospital. She’s 92 so it’s not great.
Trinity Pub Theology on the road! We went to a pub established in the same decade as the Book of Common Prayer. Like, the first one.
Sorry the president is not available right now, he is having himself Doordashed across the runway
This burrito taxi discourse has gotten completely out of hand.
I want to give massive props to the London Transport Museum for being one of the most neurodiversity-friendly public places I’ve ever visited. They really go out of their way to be accessible to kids (and grownups!) on the spectrum.
This morning I got to drive a train simulator and found a Mtr Brit Frazier in a pub. A good day!
My sermon (from the tallest pulpit I have ever experienced) starts around 55:00. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR_P...

This morning I received the Eucharist and I got to sing Cornerstone by Hillsong. That makes it a very, very good church morning.
I am once again asking New York Penn Station to provide seating in the main train halls. Society will not collapse if you do this! It just keeps people from sitting ON THE FLOOR like they do presently.
1. Nuts are edible wood 2. Please help my family is dying 3. This whole thing smacks of Gender 4. The rice truck saga
My Pun Killed Steve Albini@texannolongerinnyc.bsky.social · 5d agoWhat would you put on the Mount Rushmore of all time Tweets? (Mount Rushmore means 4. Do not be a coward and hedge by saying more than 4. Make a decision. (Less than 4 is fine though))
"I'm going to be doing maximally formal church stuff all week, I think tomorrow morning I just want to get a little emotional and sing about Jesus." - a thing I said to some of my former students just now
Is there such a thing as an evangelical parish in London with good praise and worship music where one might receive the Eucharist? Not HTB. Actual knowers only, I can use Google.
Something random I appreciate about the UK: you can buy single servings of quite decent cheese at those mini-Tesco/Waitrose/Sainsburys places that are everywhere. Quite a step up from Wawa string cheese. But you cannot get a hoagie at Tesco.
There are times when it is appropriate and even desirable to go to (eg) McDonald’s, Taco Bell, or Shake Shack in another country. Just had a shack burger because it was open after 11 pm and I know there won’t be any gastric surprises. Shack burger, no cheese, no tomato, add pickles.
about to land at LHR! it’s always good to be back in the land of daily evensong and smoky bacon crisps
You come home and see the red answering machine light blinking. It may be your crush/boyfriend/girlfriend/ex. It may be your friend who wants to meet at the mall. It may be Stanley Steemer. Only one way to find out…
Stephanie Porras@periodeye.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is a triggering image of a museum display in the natural history museum in DC about life before smartphones. Me and a fellow 40+ person were laughing at how we are now LITERAL MUSEUM PIECES. MY teen was like did you have a clear phone? An address book? A book of maps. Yes, yes I did. 🫠🫠🫠
I do feel that some of the charm of transatlantic flight is gone now that you can get WiFi and post the whole time. There was something good about the experience of disappearing from contact for 6 hours and emerging on another continent.
In “there’s a first time for everything,” this is the first time I almost missed a plane. I was at the office at 4 am, waiting for our Uber and putting in some payment requests for the Canterbury tour
It’s the Menswear Guy x Calvin Robinson crossover we’ve been waiting for By we I mean me and 🕯️⚓️

If you are up at midnight (in the US) then please jam that new mountain goats record. If you are elsewhere in the world you can probably rock those jams rn. Thank you

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
In 10 years my theological trajectory has gone from: - I pray that we are all predestined for glory - It is possible to make a conscious decision to reject God in the presence of God and thus reject grace - It is verifiably true that some people reject God by their lives and hell is not empty

“You definitely don’t have cardiac problems, this test will come back negative. I’m not sure why you’re here. Did you eat anything different or pull a muscle?” (I had a 95 percent arterial blockage and almost died, oops. And yes, the doctor was a man.)
Heather Hill@rollin-academic.bsky.social · 7d agoA question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"
The things people think are bad about Calvinism are actually about Dutch culture in particular.
Brian Actors Guild@spocksbrian.worstpossible.world · 6d agoMy level of racism against the Dutch simply cannot keep up with reality
When you get rid of all the Procurement Lesbians and Cybersecurity Trans Folx, nothing good can happen next.
