10/18 Tonight's Thoughts!
What could I possibly know that could ease the weight of my wrongs?
Things claim to constantly be shifting shape each facet of my character has stayed in place, bound under chains.
Shifting shape isn't an option for me, unless directed at my wants and desires, but never my character.
NUANCE IS MY ENEMY.
As hard as she came came crashing down, the more quietly she floats away from me. I don't know whether to keep my hand outstretched to the sky or tuck it in my pocket.

ENCOUNTERS / I WANT TO (MK. 1:40-45)
ENCOUNTERS / I WANT TO (MK. 1:40-45):
‘Tellingly, this disease afflicts this man’s skin, making it insensitive, and the community mimic the insensitivity of his condition by being desensitised to the man ... This is the Gospel: God Touches Us.’
Here’s my longer sermon notes from this afternoon’s Metro Christian Centre service (dated 18th September 2022), kicking off our new series ENCOUNTERS.
You can also catch up with this via MCC’s YouTube channel (just give us time to get the video uploaded 😉)

Random thought: I would love to see a conversation between Florence Welch and Charles Bukowski. Or even better, some coauthored poetry.

the usa senate passed the budget that banned all aid to UNRWA and Biden signed it.
the senators who voted for this budget (preventing usa from funding UNRWA) are under the readmore. if your senator is on this list, call (202) 224-3121 and demand they find another way of funding relief to palestine.

Hello. I've already read the Kingston Cycle, Half a Soul and I'm about to finish the Stariel books. Do you have more recommendations? Thank you in advance.
Oh absolutely!
A Matter of Magic, by Patricia C. Wrede (for cross-country Regency romps, rogues, magicians, spies, and Ladies of Quality)
A Marvellous Light, by Freya Marske (for murder and mystery and secret Edwardian wizardry, romance, grand old houses and creepy curses)
Spellbound, by Allie Therin (for forbidden love, found family, and frightening magic in 1920s New York)
Shades of Milk and Honey, by Mary Robinette Kowal (for frothy and impeccably evocative Regency magic)
Sorcerer to the Crown, by Zen Cho (for schemes both magical and mundane and the world of fairy crossing into the world of the tonne)
To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis (for laugh-out-loud time travel shenanigans and questionable Victorian aesthetic choices)
Soulless, by Gail Carriger (for vampire assassins, werewolf aristocrats, interrupted tea time, and other terrible inconveniences which may beset a young lady)
A little darker:
The Magpie Lord, by KJ Charles (for semi-secret magical society, creepy family estate, steamy romance all in an Extremely Victorian Gothic setting)
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke (clever and deeply atmospheric tour of a magical 19th century England, but definitely not romance)
Salt Magic, Skin Magic, by Lee Welch (for curses and magical bonds and frightening fairies)
Widdershins, by Jordan L Hawk (for Gilded Age mystery and romance featuring Lovecraftian horror and humor)
More fantasy:
Uprooted, by Naomi Novik (for fairytale magic and whimsy, adventure and romance and creepy trees)
Seducing the Sorcerer, by Lee Welch (for wizard fashion, romance and humor and whimsical magic)
Stardust, by Neil Gaiman (for wild romps in the fairyland next door, alternately humorous and haunting)
More historical:
The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles (for saucy Regency romance and determined social scheming)
Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons (for dry humor, wacky hijinx, and extended family shenanigans)
Hither Page or The Missing Page by Cat Sebastian (village and manor house mysteries respectively, featuring lots of queer romance and found family with a dash of jaded post-war espionage)
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (for yearning and laughs and first love and an eccentric family living in an increasingly run down castle)
A little farther from the brief, but might be worth checking out On Vibes:
The Left Handed Booksellers of London, by Garth Nix
The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, by Diana Wynne Jones
His Majesty's Dragon, by Naomi Novik (more Regency fantasy, but full on Age of Sail adventure rather than comedy of manners, romance, or secret magic)
Among Others, by Jo Walton
Arabella of Mars, by David D. Levine
A Natural History of Dragons, by Marie Brennan
It also sounds like a Georgette Heyer or Jeeves and Wooster binge would be really fun right now!

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5/AP) — Former Arizona Corrections Director Charles Ryan has pleaded no contest Tuesday to a disorderly conduct charge for an encounter in which police say he fired a gun inside his Tempe home in early 2022 and pointed a firearm at two officers during a three-hour standoff.
The maximum sentence Ryan, who retired as corrections director in September 2019, could receive is two years in prison. Ryan’s trial on charges of unlawful discharge of a firearm and disorderly conduct had been scheduled for Nov. 20.
Back in September, Arizona’s Family political editor, Dennis Welch, spoke with a local defense attorney who said Ryan could have faced significantly more serious charges. “Pointing a gun at a cop is a very serious charge under the criminal code. He could have been charged as high as a class 2 felony,” said attorney Tom Ryan, who has no relation to the former corrections chief.

WHAT FORM OF LOVE DOES YOUR SHIP EMBODY?
I was tagged by the ever so wonderful @shellibisshe @simonxriley @chuckhansen @baldurrs + @roofgeese to use this uquiz for some ships, thank you my darlings!🤍
Tagging: @risingsh0t @sstewyhosseini @queennymeria @confidentandgood @indorilnerevarine @florbelles @jinfromyarikawa @liurnia @denerims @jacobseed @jendoe @phillipsgraves @tommymillers @arklay @marivenah @noonfaerie @shadowglens @solasan @kingsroad @morvaris @brujah @benningsthing @malefiicarum @jackiesarch @unholymilf @nokstella @lightwardens + @detectivelokis
LOVE AS BEING KNOWN;
love is knowing all of someone and loving them anyway. when tim kreider said "if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" and when joe wright said "The idea that these two people know each other, knew each other when they first saw each other. That they recognized each other from their future" and when micah nemerever said "it was a relief and a horror to be known so perfectly"
LOVE AS VIOLENCE;
love as bloodshed, crimson as a knife slipped between your ribs. when ocean vuong said "to arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration" and when franz kafka said "you are the knife i turn inside myself; that is love" and when ada limon said "how do you love? like a fist. like a knife" and when richard siken said "sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine"
LOVE AS TENDERNESS;
love as gentleness after a lifetime of cruelty. when ocean vuong said "sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined" and when pablo neruda said "like a jar you housed the infinite tenderness and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar" and when anais mitchell wrote "all i've ever known is how to hold my own, and now i wanna hold you, too”
LOVE AS HUNGER;
love as ravenous desire, love as something fragrant and home-built. when florence welch said "we all have a hunger" and when jenny slate asked "who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me?" and when violet trefusis wrote "I want you hungrily, frenziedly. passionately. I am starving for you..." and when anne carson asked "what are we made of but hunger and rage?"
LOVE AS LIGHT;
love as a luminous force—warm, radiant, and golden. when mary oliver wrote "light of the world hold me” and when charles bukowski said “I look at her and light goes all through me” and when david viscott said “to love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides”and when e. e. cummings said “lovers alone wear sunlight”
LOVE AS A CHOICE;
love is beautiful because it's built deliberately. when casey mcquinston wrote "that's the choice. i love him, with all that, because of all that, on purpose. i love him on purpose" and when jenny slate tweeted "i just want someone to grab my little face and scream on purpose, on purpose i am going to care about you" and when jodi picoult wrote "after fifteen years, love isn't just a feeling. it's a choice" and when the good place said "if soulmates do exist, they're not found they're made"

Lange galten #Regenwürmer 🪱 in der Landwirtschaft als Schädlinge, bis Charles #Darwin 🦠🐒🚶 1881 in seinem Buch "Die Bildung der Ackererde durch die Tätigkeit der Würmer" über ihren Nutzen aufklärte.
Sein Fazit(gekürzt):
"Der Pflug ist einer der allerältesten… Erfindungen des Menschen; aber schon lange, ehe er existierte, wurde das Land durch Regenwürmer gepflügt… Man kann wohl bezweifeln, ob es noch viele andere Tiere gibt, welche eine so bedeutende Rolle in der Geschichte der Erde gespielt haben, wie diese… Geschöpfe"
