Oh, sweet 2012 self, I just found your blog post where you shared an Excel file for a chore chart tracker with a jar of marbles.

@pauljpastor hey were you out wandering lonely as a cloud? you should have texted us

Also an omission for a film that leans heavily on misogny and purity tropes to draw upon almost zero Marian imagery. Glenn Close as Parish Office Mrs. Danvers felt like they found a leftover Puritan in the woods and gave her a rosary,

#WakeUpDeadMan does sincerity well but satire less so. The cast of suspects not as compelling or, for the most part, recognizably Catholic "types." The sacrament of confession functions imaginatively in the plot but the altar-as-detective's-stage forgets the Real Presence.

@franciscanmom Oh, what a great suggestion!!

@emzanotti Is this promotion for the Bugonia movie?

@JesusHeals247 @grex_kgregis I'd be very interested to hear more about the point you are both making here. I tend to agree based on (waves hands) vibes alone

@kadavy @legentibusapp Yes, it's just terrific! I have my students choose simple stories (simpler than whatever current text we are studying) to read independently and I love that there's a broad library available to boost their fluency.

@LeahLibresco Consider the farandolae!

We saw "Sketch" yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it! Very moving and the animation is simply delightful. The unpredictability of children's imaginations is rarely captured this well.

Thanks @vulture!

@JaycelAdkins I see what you're saying and share your non-rose-colored glasses wrt: human behavior, but I would argue people who read them often did not (and still do not) apply the wisdom therein

@JenFitz_Reads @NeurologistMom That is awful! Will be praying.

[Dorian Speed @DorianSpeed]

@JenFitz_Reads @NeurologistMom I'm so sorry to hear about your experience and may perpetual light shine upon your MIL. That's terribly sad.

@marlyyoumans Well but sometimes they block out the Amazon warehouses

What if everyone--wonderful that it is so many!--who remembered @NorthDakotaJane here bought her in-print books from @lambingpress and read them? Or gave them as gifts? Bouquets of words, full of life, from Jane Greer to us...

Bold move to have the sizzle reel include the user recording someone in a private bedroom against their will.

The unforgettable Jane Greer. “Motherhood on the One Quiet Night”—

The grief: I cannot seem to move beyond it,

[Marly Youmans 🌿☦️✍️ @marlyyoumans]

from the inimitable Jane Greer--

Things are ending, or have ended, or will end.
The pearls are strung with care, it is quite clear.
There is no nothingness—but she can almost,
some days, picture the world without her in it.

Everyone in higher ed -- the higher the position the better-- should be asking themselves two questions:
1. Why did Tulsa eliminate a very successful program?
2. Why were such programs rare to begin with?
