I’m middle SC so I think after he stops at Buccees he’ll be right there

Yall im supposed to be packing and cleaning for a trip tomorrow but my literal bird brain called dibs on the vyvanse

I whispered through my binoculars “oh hi handsome. You don’t know how much I love you” in case you’re wondering how I’m doing

I didn’t get to pay much attention to fall migration last year so this year has been like a whole new region of the pokemap for me. New lifer (to me)! Black-throated blue warbler. Made a quick stopover in the birches. A nice gift for a day off after a LONG weekend of work #ABirdFromTheLord

And God bless Saint Nancy, now with the Lord, who built this house and planted these river birches. She made such a peaceful little oasis here

Two lifers (for me) in my backyard this morning! American Redstarts and a female scarlet tanager! A real gift after a hard damn week. #ABirdFromtheLord

If you boil the water and then let it cool down you’re completely safe :) especially with the little saline packs. But soup is really the best cure all

I mean you can’t but also neti pot?

😆💀

yeah it was in the assigned reading!

The way my face involuntarily went 😧 when he did that

GUYS every time we guess the date of the rapture God reschedules it. Shut up!!!! You’re messing up recess for everyone!!! 🕯️

Place your bets

How long until we have a good picture of those dang little plastic amazon jesuses washed up on a shore somewhere hurting sea turtles ⚓

I love doing ministry in Province IV. #aBirdFromTheLord

Yesterday my boss asked “we can do our weekly check-in in the office. Or we can bring your binoculars and we’ll do our meeting at the dove field while I count doves for the hunt this weekend. What do you say?”

OBVIOUSLY we’re going to have a birding meeting with the gun dog in the sunshine. ⚓️

Alright gang (especially @ecclesiangst.bsky.social)

I’m coleading a retreat rn on Mary and Martha and working on my sermon for tomorrow. Anyone here have insight on why David and Abigail are the OT reading for the Mary/martha propers?

It’s just such a *specific* choice. Subverted hospitality? ⚓️

Like babes it’s right there in the nerd shit

Everyone is like “where is the leftist media to compete with j o e r o g a n” as though ever person I know doesn’t have a Dropout subscription and listens to Brennan Lee Mulligan take down those “billionaire dicks” every week

jealous. and go you!

(I also am sitting here thinking about how I need to wash my windows, siding, and blow off my roof, and clean my gutter guards but once again had one of those weeks where I haven't gotten to do any writing until saturday. And so i'm losing another weekend where I should be doing chores)

I'm sitting here writing my sermon looking out the front window at my neighbor's house. They clearly love it and try to keep it beautiful, and have an immaculate garden. But last year the carport & roof corner caved in bc they had rotting framing they did not inspect or know about. It was a shame.

So a team of handymen, carpenters, etc who can do everything from pressure washing to minor repairs to maybe coordinating bigger repairs. Maybe it's on a subscription service too where you just know that every year when it's time to blow the pine straw off the roof, they just show up and do it

Like I imagine it can start with a diagnostic - basically a home inspection. Would include things like "your fascia probably have X amount of time left" or "if you repaint this now it'll prevent damage later."

Then you can opt in to a team of guys who can do those things for you if you need

I want there to be a business called "The House Doctor" that basically does what that Keshawn guy on Tiktok does with home maintenence but as a service

There are so many houses in my town that are deteriorating and it's just because folks don't know how to, or do, any regular maintenence

The cut has really published some insane stuff recently and insta keeps feeding it to me.

Wild to hear an ad for DC tourism on NPR, ya know, given…things

HAHAHAHA HELLO IM HERE

I also personally hate linen and don’t wear it for the same reason and I don’t understand how people do it. Linen suits?? I’m tagging in @jrmoockjr.bsky.social as a southerner to explain

I MEANT TO POST A PIC! it’s this book

(plz ignore messy room. my husband and I selected each other for our adhd’s in some kind of mutually-assured-but-fun destruction)

Anyway I love birds. And love learning about science. And apparently can’t help but be a *little* theological always. If you’ve read to here thanks for coming along with my ham-handed ponderings
