On another note entirely, NYCistas can get free Oren's coffee tomorrow between 10:44 am and 12:44 pm:
I think Krispy Kreme is giving away a free donut to everyone tomorrow.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

churches didn't do sex.
Speaking of the Weavers, Lee Hays was talking at their Carnegie Hall reunion concert from Christmas 1980, and mentioned how he really liked St. Paul, even though "when Paul and Silas would come to town, they'd set sex back 200 years!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think Krispy Kreme is giving away a free donut to everyone tomorrow.
Yeah. And some pro-life group has criticized them for that.
No, really. Because customers have a "choice" of donuts.

What if they consult their pastor first?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whoops! Thanks.

Oh! Have you been reading about the American Life League's reaction to this?? It's too bizarre to even be offensive:
“Just an unfortunate choice of words? For the sake of our Wednesday morning doughnut runs, we hope so. The unfortunate reality of a post Roe v. Wade America is that ‘choice’ is synonymous with abortion access, and celebration of ‘freedom of choice’ is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand.
“Celebrating his inauguration with ‘Freedom of Choice’ doughnuts - only two days before the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision to decriminalize abortion - is not only extremely tacky, it’s disrespectful and insensitive and makes a mockery of a national tragedy.
"A misconstrued concept of ‘choice’ has killed over 50 million preborn children since Jan. 22, 1973. Does Krispy Kreme really want their free doughnuts to celebrate this ‘freedom.’
I mean, SERIOUSLY???

It's almost Mardi Gras time; maybe a King Cake would be better?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Cause marriages were for kids/heirs, and that meant sex, and churches didn't do sex.
Yeah, marriage is the second-best option, for those as can't swing celibacy. Gosh, if Paul had his way... there'd be nobody at all!

The sad thing is Krispy Kreme actually did decide to take the phrase "freedom of choice" out of all the promotional materials rather than argue about it. Because, you know, FREE DONUTS always make me want to run out and get an abortion!
maybe a King Cake would be better?
Bwahaha!

Okay, so it's several hours later than I want, but I'm (kinda) done with my grading!
Now. What can I do to get ready for tomorrow in the small fraction of time I have left before falling over in exhaustion?
