I’m not sure why I read this. I don’t have a bread nor could I grow one if I wanted to without pharmaceutical intervention. Nonetheless, I find this an important read. www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbe...
Beards, Professionalism, And Culture Warriors
Real professionalism is technical competence, customer service, and continuous improvement. “Professional appearance” is the preferred culture of the people in charge and nothing more.

My church’s inaugural summer craft fair has become a harvest fair. New date is November 1, 2025 which is totally appropriate given that it’s at #AllSaints #Episcopal Church in #Omaha I believe we still have vendor space available, contact me for details.

Decided to go back to my fiber arts roots: crochet. There are a number odd reasons for this from wanting to be a kid again sharing yarn with my grandmother, to just wanting to do something different. The biggest reason, however, is that no machine can #crochet so my creations are unique & handmade

I really enjoyed my #Lenten social media fast. Definitely needed the break & time to refocus. I’m looking forward to re-engaging with folks, however, followers might notice some changes. On this account I’m going to try to focus on #knitting #crochet #yarn #fiberarts 🧶 & getting my business going

Reminder: after around 900k total casualties, #Russia currently occupies 19% of #Ukraine. It occupied 30% three years ago, when it had less than 100k total casualties. Let’s stop pretending that Russia is in a position of strength. It’s only #Trump that tries to put it in one.

FYI I’m going on a social media/technology fast for #Lent. My phone will be fully functioning only at work. The rest of the time I have greatly limited the number of people & apps that can “get through” to me. If you reach out, be prepared to wait for a reply. See everyone after #Easter! 🧶📚📖📝🖋️

As a historian I’m fascinated with why far right parties think they represent ‘civilisation’.
There is no evidence, anywhere, ever, ever & adieu, that there is a connection, briefest parting glance, or muttered apology of connection, between the far right & what anyone thinks of as civilisation.
