Not being at all saintly about this migraine, but here's a selection of my devotional poems, whilst I suffer:

First up:

If they close Southwell I will not be responsible for my actions

[Madeleine Emerald 🐞 @emeraldthiele]

Terrible news today that Southwell Minster could be forced to close its doors as it faces a financial crisis.

It needs more than £20m in building repairs, and is thought to have been insolvent in July.

The Reverend Canon Dr Stephen Evans, only installed as Dean in April!, has said an emergency meeting was called and a report was lodged with the Charity Commission as no accounts had been lodged with the Charity Commission (for two years prior to his appointment).

Southwell is an absolutely beautiful place and the team there, including the Dean, were so welcoming and wholesome to me during my @visualtheology conference this May.

Just overheard a tiny little girl on the street saying the weather is getting “puddlier and puddlier” and that’s the new word for this year.

Unironically @MadocCairns 's tweet might be in some way responsible for my Masters

Remembering once again that 'Why' is a fundamentally stupid historical question.

It'd be cute if this put an end to the whole cashless society thing.

Angry article incoming

[Simon Harley @simonharley]

Email from the British Library. "Next year we’ll also begin work on repurposing our Science and Social Sciences Reading Rooms to become a flexible workspace and generate a new revenue stream." I'm sorry, what?

Four years ago I was failing to pose for photos in the Cairngorms. Wish I was failing to pose for photos in the Cairngorms rn.

On this day 42 years ago, communist agents abducted and brutally murdered Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko, a 37-year-old Polish Catholic priest. Fr. Popiełuszko had used his sermons to talk about the injustices and maltreatment inflicted on ordinary Poles by the socialist dictatorship.

It's not a want, it's very definitely a need.

Red House in Godalming, Surrey. 12 bedrooms. Designed by Lutyens. £1.35 million. Beyond my budget, but sounds like a bargain.
