Any time I have a big, terrifying new task to do, I want Steve Zahn standing in front of me, calmly settling his shoulders and saying, "Well. Take us there, Skitch." ❤️

Jose Ramirez has the highest batting average (.409) of any visiting player at Yankees Stadium, ever. Just a hair above Ty Cobb.

* We declare spring over and summer underway in DC *

Pack away your jackets and break out the bathing suits, sunscreen, and hats.

We declare spring over and summer underway.

The transition happened quickly. The tail end of May and opening days of June offered one last taste of spring, with highs mostly in the 70s and crisp morning lows in the 40s and 50s. But summerlike weather has now taken hold.

Temperatures soared into the 80s on Wednesday and Thursday, and forecast highs are expected to remain in the 80s and 90s for at least the next two weeks.

A Prayer for Getting Stuff Done when You Don’t Feel like Getting that Stuff Done but You Really Need to Get it Done:

@SaraPerla8 She is such a great writer.

[Laura @BookishRed]

@SaraPerla8 Yeah we’re gonna have to sort this out……

[Laura @BookishRed]

@SaraPerla8 That is……a broad range.

A prayer for those who struggle to hope this day:

@ManCity @kellyskeller That’s quite a shot.

This piece of art by the Polish artist, @KamilaKansy, titled “Riders of Hope,” is so powerful. As she describes it: “Above the tempestuous sea of human sorrow, pain, and solitude, someone carries a flame of Hope.”

May it be this day, O God.

Today, instead of slicing up the biggest strawberry in my recently purchased bucket for the jam I was making, I ate it in three bites standing over the kitchen sink, because joy was not meant to be a crumb. 🍓

Beyond the ragebait of the manosphere lies a group of thinkers who want to turn back the clock on feminism. Far from being a fringe belief system, masculinism has become the single most important force uniting the American right.

@roddysteves The gloves?! That looks like bad photoshop!

We could make this world 80 percent more romantic if men still went around quoting Shakespeare (“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”) or Byron (“She walks in beauty like the night / Of cloudless climes and starry skies”) when attempting to woo a lady.

The Dark Lord returns. Season 3 begins November 11, 2026

[W. David O. Taylor @wdavidotaylor]

Today's Mother's Day. But how our country thinks of motherhood and how the Bible thinks of it aren't the same. The Bible's vision of motherhood—and of family—is far richer and far more expansive. We must always let this vision discipline our prayers & poems & preaching ministry.

Receipts. WHY.

“While I listed my age as “40” on this dating app for visibility, I am 52 years old.”

[Adam Karpiak @Adam_Karpiak]

“listed as ‘remote’ for visibility” is wild

Good morning, Loved of God. He will give you everything you need today. Practice your faith. Reject dread. Overlook offense. Choose joy. Take courage and be kind.
