@ChivalryGuild “Her princes are in the midst of her as roaring lions, her judges are evening wolves…Her prophets are senseless men without faith, her priests have polluted the sanctuary: they have acted unjustly against the law…the wicked man hath not known shame.”

Some shots of the Lighthouse Gift Shop (foghorn building) and attached Skiffhouse, in Two Harbors (MN); it’s a miracle anything is standing; the fire fighters did an excellent job containing it, with relatively minimal damage beyond the breezeway area:

@shagbark_hick It’s good to be in a place where weather almost never enters your mind.

Several people have pointed out that Thanksgiving and Christmas feel empty now, and thats true but for different reasons than Halloween.

A, nobody has kids anymore. Holidays are for kids, without them you're just having a weird themed dinner party basically, the fun is watching them experience finding their presents under the tree etc.

B, old women (silent gen, greatest gen, old boomers) were the last generation that 1 knew how to cook, and 2 cared enough to decorate the house and facilitate the whole thing.

C, everyone wears muted colors now and does these "refined" and "muted" decorations. No, you weren't imagining it, Christmas was much more vibrant when you were a kid.

And D, nobody lives in the same place anymore. If one kid is in Portland, the other in NYC and the parents in Virginia, how likely are you really to get the old gang back together.

All of this combines into a sterile childless catered dinner party that's refined and pseudo elegant but contains exactly zero percent of the magic or meaning of the original. CHRISTMAS IS SUPPOSED TO BE KITSCH YOU ANIMALS.

@KnowsPascal It’s definitely a great source of detachment from worldly thoughts and things, also.

@realityhastowin @GrainneMcD92925 misunderstanding of the revelation, her imperfect communication of it to Clement Brentano, his brother’s imperfect understanding of Clement’s notes and Clements own misunderstanding of the revelation, any translator’s misperception of the revelation, etc.

[Nobility of Order @NobilityofOrder]

@realityhastowin @GrainneMcD92925 I think the correct understanding of this is that they were material heretics but not formal heretics; private revelations are often like a game of telephone: in this case the filters the alleged revelation had to pass through were numerous, including Emmerichs possible personal
