If we’re mutuals, feel free to DM me for alternate contacts. Otherwise, I have the same handle on other SM platforms.

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel It’s honestly so disappointing. I get stuff happens every once in a while or you might be running later than expected one day, but when it’s constant I just can’t do it.

Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392

@murphel People say they want a community and then act like they are the only person who matters in any relationship.

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel I have stopped hanging out with people because they’ve made me consistently late. It’s rude and you don’t have to put up with it.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

New level of Catholic guilt unlocked: the pope wants to know why you haven’t finished that draft yet.

@murphel The normal one has lard, I believe.

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel There are some really interesting studies that show that people who are (or believe themselves) to be more intelligent than average are more likely to get deep into cults precisely because they believe they’re too smart to be duped. 🙃

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel Not my thing but I didn’t argue with a four year old when they’re eating their food. That was a hard enough task, lol.

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel Carrots were a pretty neutral veg used for dipping. Usually it’s something common like ranch or hummus, but we’d get salsa or guacamole too.

Also they’re little kids so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were going through a “I will only eat salsa” phase.

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel There were a lot of granola moms where I taught, so it wasn’t uncommon to have unusual combinations. The kids seemed to like it, though I personally need chips with my salsa (or an appropriate Mexican/Tex-Mex dish).

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel I use Libib for my physical library. You can tag, put them in collections and scan the barcode with your phone. They gave a pro version but I haven’t needed to upgrade.

[ana @prngsflower]

well, that would be funny

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel But they’re on a ladder, so it’s scarier. 😔 Also, shouting.

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel Lol. Maybe if I’m hyper focused and lucky enough that it doesn’t wear off too quickly.

Young kids can't find work because adults need to work until the minute they expire to survive a mediocre existence.

[Brigid Kawewehi @BasicallyBrigid]

@murphel Depending on the content, it can definitely be actual work, but some of them… no. That’s not a job.
