Good (short) article.

«In the real world, our world, there is of course another Church: the Church of Francis of Assisi and Dorothy Day, of radical advocacy, of finding Jesus in dispossession, at the edge of society. But this Church, which has an energy quite as emancipated and revolutionary as anything Lyra will find in the North, is not the caricature that Pullman’s romance requires.»

“The doctrine of Decisive Battle had driven the Japanese Navy’s strategy and planning since at least 1930.”

There is work to be done.

There is art to be made.

There is beauty to be cherished.

There are people to care for.

There is justice to fight for.

There is rest needed sometimes, too.

All of these things.

Pick a couple you can manage, today.

–> Needed the pin to send money, failed at that step.
–> Everything before the “what is your pin” seemed totally legitimate. English was perfect. The bank verification code, sent by the expected number, tricked me.
–> The asking for my pin over the phone… not so much.

It’s cool how we used to say “Constitutional crisis” in hushed tones and now we’re just speedballing like seven of the fucking things before we’ve decided which pants we’re going to put on that day.
