I would very much appreciate it if more posters on social media paused to remember that we are bound to have beloved friends or family who disagree with us in silence, and perhaps consider more judiciously what we say or imply about them when we are loud.
Funny how making a non-partisan statement on social media gets agreement from both sides of the political aisle, each one fully convinced that you have just endorsed their perspective.
"What is happening?!" asks the little box with an implied sense of panic. An excellent question, Twitter. An excellent question.
"Do not be afraid" - Saint John Paul II Saint John Paul II, pray for us! #SaintJohnPaulII
I love teaching young people and interacting with museum visitors, but sometimes it also feels as though I'm the only person on earth still capable of performing a basic Google search.
Just saw a headline informing me that someone was "fatally killed," and while obviously this is horrible news, I would have been more taken aback had the killing not been fatal.
Oh, dearie me, I have accidentally ordered twice as much tea as I intended. What a delightful problem to have.
In my most recent theatrical audition, I was described by a fellow auditionee as "terrifying Anne Hathaway," and I'm going to wear that as a feather in my cap forever.
Who was Lady Berkeley? In this clip, historian Amy Stallings @janeite06 shares how 3 royal commissioners were insulted upon leaving the Berkeley household. For more, visit Amy at Historic Jamestowne @JRarchaeology or listen to the full podcast: jwcaterine.substack.com/p/who-was-lady…
I'm nearly forty and still feel that I haven't proved to the local theatre community that I can portray things other than "tragic waif" or "tragic mother" or "tragic mother who is also a waif." Let me be angry, let me be funny, let me be wild, let me be villainous!
Reflecting today on how I grew up to be exactly the sort of person you'd expect considering my favorite game when I was eight was riding my bike wildly down the street, veering through all the potholes, and pretending I was an RAF pilot in the Battle of Britain.
I'm oddly shaken today by news of the death of a priest from my childhood parish. I never knew him well--I don't know why it's hit me so hard. But if you can spare a moment, please pray for his soul and for the congregation he served.
I'm just a girl standing in front of a dessert case, asking for sticky toffee pudding.
I'm starting to get automated ads about clothing tailored "for the mature woman." I am tempted to re-think my internet activity to make it as immature as possible.
I'm rubbish at Catholic apologetics and need to be better, but still, it would be refreshing now and then to hear a creative objection to Catholicism instead of the same arguments I've heard for my entire life. Aren't the rebuttals to those sufficiently available already?
Successfully created a simple formula in Excel, and now feel as though I should be able to take the rest of the day off.
One day, perhaps I'll be able to write a song that's as good as the worst thing Gordon Lightfoot ever wrote. But I very much doubt it.
I realized today that I had mistaken the number of iris varieties in my garden by a significant margin. Not that thinking I had 61 makes me any less a crazy iris lady than the actual figure of 71.
"Pro isn't just half of the word progress" may have sounded like a good catch phrase to this advertiser on Reddit, but nobody seems to have told the marketing division, "You're right, it isn't. That would be "prog."
I love working in a place where, as I'm on my way back from leading a tour, a gleeful archaeologist calls me aside to come look at a 1616 well they've just uncovered.
