Big red tub of water with bare feet in it

I found this one thing that makes me like sitting outside when it's easy to freaking hot!

The nine-year-old in me can't believe I get to do this.

It's the perfect solution, though certainly not posh or swanky! Not even bougie!

It's just a big tub of fresh cold hose water.

It's delightful! 3/3

Love summer food! Cold salads, anything on the grill, all the fresh produce!

I like the shortened hours my employer allows. I get off work with hours of daylight left

But the heat, friends. The heat is my nemesis. I hate to sweat!!

I can't just lock myself up in the a/c for the whole summer 2/?

Summer is my least favorite season. Don't come at me, I didn't say I hate it.

Ok I sort of hate it.

But there are good things about summer I guess.

I like linen. Fresh pressed linen is lovely.

I like that people are outside. I wave at my neighbors, they walk past my house with their dogs. 1/?

If you're looking for some alternative programming tomorrow, I'll be on All Things Considered along with two other biblical scholars talking about MAGA messianic exegesis.

The presumption that YOU aren't capable of determining who might be "good enough" is what I find gross.

people need to start to read up on what surrogate violence is and how modern authoritarian states export their most violent tendencies to groups that are willing to act in the kind of ways that Paxton here is apparently telegraphing. This is how fascist state violence works now. Its participatory.

Christmas tree

Well, I got something accomplished this weekend. 😁
