Seems like a fine time to watch a miniseries on the troubles in Northern Ireland.

Today I talked to my kids about these two statements.

I don't know.
I can't help you.

Pass it on.

Might build a guillotine tomorrow. Idk.

10 foods I don't like, a profanity-laden list: 1. Green beans. Goddamnit, they are terrible. 2. Mushrooms. Holy shit, the mouth feel on these. 3. Water chestnuts. Damn, these are like a dried up but somehow still wet sponge. 4. Baby corn. What the actual fuck, little torpedoes of bitterness? 5. Raspberries. Why the hell do they have to take over everything they are in? 6. Most candy that is not chocolate-focused. I mean, why even fucking bother? 7. Kale. I don't like this shit on principle. There is no need to be so fucking precious. 8. Multi-grain bread. Bread should not be a goddamn punishment. 9. Cilantro. This is like pockets of bullshit soap in otherwise delicious food. 10. Food pretending to be other food. Fuck you, zoodles and cauliflower rice.

Thanks to all the atheists out there just doing the right thing without me threatening you with fire and brimstone.

But not every behavior or opinion!

What did you call me?

Here is my sermon from 11/10. I've preached a similar message at other times, but this has special spicy post-election commentary. Also please admire my drip.

When I DJd in the dyke club, this was one of my faves to play.

Against Settler-Colonialism: A Reading List

Whew, chaplaining was tough today, y'all.

Show me a pic that has your energy that isn't a selfie.

OFFENDED TO NOT BE ON THE LIST. RUDE RUDE RUDE.

#1 in an occasional series wherein I will elucidate my mood and/or feelings with quotes from the contemporary philosophers known colloquially as pop stars:

"I was born in a flame
Mama said that everyone would know my name
I'm the best you've never had
If you think I'm burning out, I never am"

As the parent of teenagers, calling what we do here "skeeting" is NOT COOL.

Amen

Return to work greeting.

Watch out. I can now literally flip the bird.
