I’m a Timberwolves fan 🤷‍♂️

But also pacers in 6 🤷‍♂️

B 😘

Kind of on a social media break, but my library system needs to order more copies of @sgj.bsky.social ‘s forthcoming book. 2?! 2?!!

Found my moka pot among my packed things in our garage and I’m revivified.

I married the most beautiful person @sarahliz2006.bsky.social

That’s a great choice!

Hey, thanks!

Here is a poorly lit photo of the duck house I built during the summer and finally assembled today now that the ducks are ready to graduate out of their brooder.

I used to not try stuff like this because I didn’t like doing things I couldn’t do perfectly very quickly. Here’s to #growth

and ducks.

Dammit Brandon.

My shaping is getting better (except for bottom left, lol).

Less is more. I.E. the less I try to get it to be perfect, the better it actually looks 🤷‍♂️

Huh. Pretty Quarky.

He adores you right back.

I’m making the communion bread for my church for the last time tonight.

I have 31 days left of pastoral ministry, at least for now. At least in this chapter. I did my best to lead gently. Maybe to prove to myself that it was still possible. I think I loved them well. I think that was the job.

I didn’t realize when I started dating @sarahliz2006.bsky.social that the biggest risk to my health would be heart palpitations during OSU football games

@sarahliz2006.bsky.social made Brutus a hat 😂😂

Classic IGN

Excited to see my favorite PlayStation game top @ign.com’s top 100 list.

Also delighted that Ape Escape made the list given that dual stick controllers are now the industry standard.

A cute, wheat-blonde dog sleeps on a green blanket. What does she dream of? We can only guess.

An amorphous blob of dough rises steadily, but imperceptibly, to you the reader of this alt text

Watching dough rise is so satisfying!

Well, since you said it twice, I’m sure you’re golden! Nobody who does crimes can lie about it more than once.

Just try to remember that two of the best traits we can bring to a leadership role are humility and teachability. Flaws, whatever they may be, give us a chance to model things like growth, honesty, vulnerability, and repentance.

Unless your flaws are literal crimes, just say yes.

Awww shucks, babe. You’re far too kind. Whatever I am, I’m very glad to be yours.

If it makes you feel any better, I am also up

Hahaha yep! I think it’ll always feel like it just came out. It’s also sort of evergreen, so I think that contributes.

Half-Life 2 is free on Steam until November 18th. It’s one of the most influential games of the modern era and still holds up 20 years later.

Yep. This.

I was on nitrous oxide for a procedure this week and somehow covered Christian mysticism and trans rights in the 15 minutes the doctor, a man I had never met before, worked on me.

Nitrous Oxide is like extrovert meth.

It was stellar! *Chirp Chirp*
