Opus Dei's fuckery in Argentina is what precipitated Francis finally cracking down on them in 2022. they were doing full-on human rights violations with no oversight

Opus Dei was what allowed Spanish Fascist Generalissimo Francisco Franco to rework himself as being an ally against the Soviets. They legitimized a man who took over Spain via a coup and waged a bloody war on his own people, only won from direct Nazi support.

It was even stuff like counting stitches and keeping tension. I got halfway through a stockinette scarf, gave up, and turned it into a purse. I do have hopes for crochet, whenever the ol' ADHD swings back around to that project.

I can definitely understand that. The reason I don't knit is that I couldn't handle the learning curve of doing relatively boring patterns before I could reasonably level up to something interesting.

Itโs also a good time of year to remind suburban dads that leaves are the free mulch of the gods, theyโre better nutrients than anything Scottโs makes, and there are many little organisms that make your land healthier who like to live in fallen leaves, so leave leaves where they land when possible.

I saw a pheonix quilt on Tumblr the other day that someone's mom was making them that truly gasted my flabbers, it was so intricate and beautiful. But the quilt my Nana made that's "just" squares in two colours, some with embroidery, required no less skill, as it was entirely hand stitched.

*puts on Sociologist Hat* Literally all human social interaction is performance to one degree or another, you are constantly performing various versions of yourself for different scenes and scene partners and audiences, all social life is dramaturgy
And Mamdani does it exceptionally well

Even today, if you want to write about a traumatic experience glib to some degree is required. There are five publishing slots per year for a sincere exploration of a terrible experience. The rest are "please don't query manuscripts about your father's suicide unless it's funny."

Hey! FYI we use alt text on our images here. There's a switch you can flip in settings that'll keep you from posting until your media has alt text. It's super important! Welcome to bluesky, the user base is inclusive and good. You won't get much engagement if you don't use it! Further explanation ๐

Seeing people say that "by the numbers" Stancil is right about No Kings being bigger than the civil rights mvt. But no. That's not how any of this works.
It's like saying I'm a bigger organizer than Greta Thunberg because I'm taller. It's not technically true, it's just stupid.
