Me this week alternating twitter scrolling and ... reading Marilynne Robinson's new book 🤯

This week’s drama of Princess Kate and the Manipulated Photo has been hard to miss. I’m pretty nonplussed by the fevered speculation about where Kate’s disappeared to (they said she’d be out till Easter after abdominal surgery, let’s calm down guys?) 1/9

I'm trying to steer clear of this rabbithole but also ... this whole story has made staying on Twitter worth it

[Mollie Goodfellow @hansmollman]

Imagine you are genuinely trying to recover from a major surgery and you just have your social media and PR team coming in with increasingly worse news

@matthewmoffitt Is that … not what he said? I am so confused 😆

We’ve been through a lot, but we made it. 7 interest rate rises. A summer of floods. An uptick in national unemployment. Even a Prime Ministerial Valentine’s Day proposal. But it’s finally here. It’s Tay-Tay week in Australia! 1/9

You know you’re in strange times when #PopeFrancis, #ChanelContos, and #Euphoria are singing the same song. I was late to Euphoria – the 2019 American teen show on sex, drugs, and social media – and binged it over my summer holidays. 1/9

Do you need a good daily news email? I've been getting @thesquiz for years now and they're GREAT. They manage both neutrality and fun! And I super appreciate an Aussie-centric take.

CPX Senior Fellow, @BarneyZwartz writes for The Age about how widespread Christian persecution in countries like North Korea and Somalia is rarely reported in mainstream media.

Have been pondering the phrase "rumours of war" - a Jesus phrase. A lot of them around currently (along with actual wars, obviously) 😖

[Centre for Public Christianity (CPX) @cpx_tweet]

World news is by definition alarming – nobody reports on another average day in Ulaanbaatar – but recent headlines do seem to have taken things up a notch. 1/9

[Natasha Moore @natashaleemoore]

... and Max Jeganathan ruminates on the wide AND deep appeal of @OfficialBlueyTV - explaining our "Blueyan longings" in reference to the delightful, tear-jerking "Cricket" episode https://t.co/moyAvpMwR3

[Natasha Moore @natashaleemoore]

Still easing into the work year here, but my colleagues are off and running. @JustineToh has a sharp smart piece about sibling rivalry - ancient and modern - in @GuardianAus here: https://t.co/8uFW7xHeIx

[Natasha Moore @natashaleemoore]

@ErringtonA Which book?

[Centre for Public Christianity (CPX) @cpx_tweet]

"Since marrying at 38 and getting pregnant at 39, I’ve dwelt often on Charlotte Bronte's story — maybe a little morbidly, during those weeks of nausea and exhaustion and migraines after the positive pregnancy test." @drnatashamoore https://t.co/mRXZfsmnmo

[Natasha Moore @natashaleemoore]

@JustineToh 🥲❤️

[Natasha Moore @natashaleemoore]

@cpx_tweet @matthewmoffitt *led 😉 And I did tell you there’d be a purist out there somewhere who would care 😆

[Natasha Moore @natashaleemoore]

I wrote this thing about being pregnant at Christmas, life turning out differently to how you thought, and ... the Brontë sisters. I hope you like it 😌 https://t.co/yvuEbZEKkO

[Natasha Moore @natashaleemoore]

Trying to articulate why this song affects me so much. Every! Time!

[Centre for Public Christianity (CPX) @cpx_tweet]

Have you heard Fairytale of New York yet this Christmas? It’s gotten even more plays than usual this first week of December since the death last Thursday of Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan. 1/9

[Courtney Ellis 🎈 @courtneyellis]

Please do not ask a bookworm if they are going to finish the books they have before buying more. It is very offensive in our culture.

[Natasha Moore @natashaleemoore]

This is cool - @GuardianAus has a new religion/spirituality column called ‘Making sense of it’, and @JustineToh is a contributor 😊👏

[Centre for Public Christianity (CPX) @cpx_tweet]

How was your weekend? Were you able to rest? @JustineToh in @Guardian writes that our idea of rest is thinned out in a culture that worships overwork. Read it via The Guardian 👏🏻 https://t.co/2dvZ28piJM
