Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy (full disclosure I edited to take the baby's name out as I didn't want to out the baby)

I see he goes on to use "suicidally empathetic". 🙄 Also feelings do provide us with information and can be an indication of an issue. Barron and others claim that feelings must be guided by reason and yet fail to give it any place in practice

Guy in a blue tracksuit is first given a medal. Then he bites it. Then he kisses a woman. Then he shouts and gives the middle finger on both hands. He has champagne spraying. Then it is revealed he is third on a podium with two other people. THe text says "Finally submitting an article that shouldn't have taken that long

So you're saying bribing Pokemon Go to put a pokemon in my church is not a good evangelisation strategy...

Sure if you look inside a bin there's a mess but you need a bin to clean up this mess... (Need to workshop it more so it can be snappier)

Headline from a newspaper saying: Daniel Hannan
Count Binface is no laughing matter. He Embodies why Britain is in such a mess

I was torn between Latin mass or putting traditional family values which is how I imagine Tobias would misinterpret something Mabel said but its not the same as tradwife culture so I went with Latin mass

Tobias from Arrested Development in a leather shop. On the first image he says "I'm looking for something that says "Dad like Latin Mass"." The shop assistant says "Something that says... "Traddy Daddy?" In the final picture Tobias says "Oh, is there such a thing?" Latin Mass and Traddy are additions over the original text

While I struggled a bit with the music and contemporary culture aspects, I also get how I ended up here...

text with the results of theodramist's quiz. It says Your closest neighborhood
The Episcopal Church (TEC)
founded 1789 · national, urban‐leaning
Mainline Anglican · inclusive orthodoxy's American home
Your taste lives in the tradition that has become, more than any other in America, the home of inclusive orthodoxy: ancient liturgy, sacramental theology, openly LGBTQ+ clergy and laity, a strong literary culture, smaller but stable. Episcopalians skew educated, urban, and politically progressive, but the deep aesthetic is older than any of that: incense, choral evensong, the Book of Common Prayer, gardens, gin. Your neighbors are people who think hymns from the 1700s and same‐sex weddings belong in the same building.

Seymour from the Simpsons. In the first picture he is thinking with the words "AI Creators: Maybe we're to blame for the AI being evil." Second image he has had a realisation with the words "No... It's the sci-fi writers for warning about evil AI and therefore made AI evil"

Drake meme. He does not like: not reducing solar grants. He likes: nuclear power. Over Drake are the words Irish Government

Speaking as someone who would be regarded as part of the problem because I am a late diagnosed woman who seems okay, I would ask people to stop taking Gript seriously in general but specifically on this. I spent over 20 years feeling like there was something seriously wrong with me. Why could I not

Gript article on Facebook. Title: Over diagnosis of autism wrong response to problems of living. Preview of article says: STELLA O’MALLEY on the harm caused by an overdiagnosis of autism. The concept of an autism spectrum is “close to collapse” as it has become “so inclusive it is meaningless”. Diagnoses are fast becoming a reflexive response to the problems of living.

I know that there are questions being asked about how reliable a story this is but given that a year ago Trump posted this, one should have expected the possibility of needing to know about the Avignon papacy...

If I had to assign the theologians myself, there would be some I would reposition, like Augustine and Athanasius would be higher than Lewis and Wesley. I probably would've expected Aquinas to be at one even though I don't think of myself as a Thomist

If people can pray for me tomorrow, I would be very grateful.

Thinking about Swinton's writing on pornography this evening. I feel like this grok situation should make the connection with evil much cleare. By staying on the site it means that one does not mind the committing of sexual crimes. One is consenting to being on a website that already made massive

Page 27 from John Swinton's Deliver Us from Evil. Too much text to type out. I'm sorry but it is on sex trafficking, pornography and evil. He points out how the banal action of consuming porn online can feed radical evil.

Not my best year for reading. A lot more books I started but didn't finish cause of the whole trying to complete my PhD

Nothing in the Irish news is making me think about this....

The pain of this book arriving today when I can only hope to flick through it for the next month or so rather than properly start it.

The book Joining Creation's Praise by Brian Brock on mustardy brown fabric with birds and branches with leaves and flowers which are black and white. For looking at the alt you can know that this is fabric for post PhD shenanigans that also arrived today and despite being 8 metres arrived in a box smaller than the book

Look I have a streak of over 800 days as I try to regain a language I used to be more proficient in, but the reality is while some of it is being too busy, I have been frustrated that I cannot seem to get to the next level and that is because I need a resource or a teacher to help me get past the
