i genuinely think there's a PhD somewhere on flower arranging in churches and the incongruity between the respect it's afforded vs the actual significance of the role that it plays
I am very disappointed that people are doing culture wars on this, and I’m also very irritated by the people arguing that this doesn’t matter. I think there’s a certain amount of unconscious misogyny at play - it is actually an important part of the life of the church with a considerable impact.

My Norwegian-American sports-fan wife assures me that the girlfriend's statement “It was touching to see that Sivert was included in the victory" should be read as, "I see my good-for-nothing ex is being a narcissist again while the rest of the team mourns the recent death of their teammate."

A couple weeks ago I emailed my fave chicken sandwich spot to see if the flavor I love will ever come back on the menu.
So they special made me four of them yesterday. Cried in the car on the way home. They were so, so good.

Look at this absolute delight! A local church holds a Rocking Service where the baby in the Parish born nearest to Christmas Day, is rocked in a decorated cradle at Candlemas. Possibly the last Church in the world to do so - unless you know different? #TinyJoys
