The first segment is a good follow-up to the research I posted earlier. Men are not okay and it’s critical the Church does work here. — Masculinity and Cluster Bombs
“One implication is that if we want men to have good mental health, a useful strategy might be to help them to appreciate the ways in which their masculinity can have a positive impact on their behavior and the people around them.” — Masculinity & Well-Being
Guys, you are fearfully and wonderfully made. God made male and female and our differences are intentional and good. Masculinity has much to share with the world, our families, and the Church.
It’s been a lot more than 30 days, and it’s been glorious.
Germans complaining because there was a three-year delay in getting WiFi on their regional trains & I’m here in Tennessee just wanting reliable bus service and a covered bus stop. Die meisten S-Bahnen haben nun WLAN, mit Jahren Verspätung
Y’all! New isolated home office with a standing desk. Game changer. Zoom meetings not worrying with muting and randomly standing to pace is amazing! 🤓
Clairefontaine notebook, TWSBI Eco pen, and Noodler’s Akhmatova ink. 💚
This little corner of the new office makes me happy.
Does anyone happen to have a BlueSky invite? I’d love to play around with it.
Is anyone aware of a Global Methodist (or otherwise orthodox) congregation in Nashville, TN?
I hope there’s a small truck to buy if I end up needing another car. — Listen, America. We need to talk about your massive electric trucks
Also, unless I’ve missed someone, we’ve got four diocese represented just within Nashville alone!
I’m surprised to find that there are no Joint Synod or REC parishes in Middle Tennessee.
Great episode describing pains as a pedestrian & cyclist moving about the city. 🚲 — Is It Worth It To Confront Drivers?

I sold my tickets for the 🌈 game, but the Juneteenth match is my favorite. If only every game could begin with a hymn! — 🎶 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears. 🎵
More Matter Mini Review: The Nanoleaf Thread with Matter bulbs are not ready for prime time on Apple Home. — I’m not sure if the issue is with the bulbs or HomeKit, but bulbs continually forget their color settings and change to odd colors or slightly off-hue.
Matter & Thread Mini Review: ➕As responsive as Zigbee, no hubs, and full HomeKit integration. ➖Took two tries to get it working. Mysterious errors.
If you’re technical & an early adopter, go for it. Otherwise, give it a year.
This seems mostly on point to me, at least for larger companies. At small-business scale, I could see some flexible hybrid working. — Hybrid combines the worst of office and remote work
Anyone know anything about insurance for churches & non-profits? Given liability, directors & officers, and umbrella as options I’m assuming it’s best to take all three? — Just seems real pricey.
