I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I know it still says nothing good about the Church, but my first feeling on clicking the link was a flood of sick relief that this was the same story of hateful dumbass hierarchy bullshit from three years ago, and that they hadn't gone on to do the same thing all over again to an entirely separate little girl.

Also (very thinly) heartening to read that the doctor who'd been excommunicated said he'd still be attending church same as always and they could feel free to stop him if they really thought he'd committed such an awful sin, and a quick Google search hasn't turned anything up since then but the guy presiding and speaking at local Rotary meetings and such. No recantations on his part, no hierarchy smackdowns: he called their bluff and they shut up. Cowards. If you're going to be narrow, nasty and evil, at least stick the landing.

Good for the doctor! He sounds pretty awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

JZ and others, have you seen Sullivan's coverage?

The Vatican vs American Nuns

Hard to believe it’s a coincidence that the Vatican moved to curb the nuns for implicit insubordination against the Bishops just as the USCCB announced a big summer series of protests for “religious liberty” keyed to categorical opposition to the Obama administration’s efforts to implement a contraception coverage mandate, particularly since LCWR has been notably willing to support compromise efforts and earlier supported the health reform legislation that authorized the mandate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was all geared up (finally) to do freelance work, but realized I don't have one key thing I need from the client. @@

I've been sucked into Pottermore as well. ProphecySkull2240. How very cool.

edit: so I guess I'll search the thread for Pottermore refs to find everyone's user IDs.

I'll be curious to see what houses y'all get sorted into.

OK, joining was worth it just to read Rowling's reasoning for joining the British Society of Weights and Measures.

Dagnabbit! The client wrote back, and now I'm supposed to be working. Now I don't wanna!
