Happy New Year, wonderful people! While there may be uncertainty in the world, we can make tomorrow a better day all on our own, in our own good way. And if enough people do that, then the uncertainty won’t matter as much. Build your community. Build your friendships. A bulwark against the craziness

Beautiful plans. 10/10 would do it too if I wasn’t watching Amazing Spiderman 2 right now

Community is the place where you don’t Other yourself.
From this thread, it sounds like within your demographic, you Other yourself with you internal thoughts/mindset, but within the group that shares your mindset, you’re internally Othering yourself with your demographic characteristics.

Aw, drat. Now you *have* to develop Hybrid Helix for the bug screen. And get it made so that we can all enjoy it. Thems the rules

There’d be some more interesting differences if you looked at the NLT and ESV translations, which are more modern to my knowledge and both have different translation philosophies.

They claim they don’t want to replace human creativity, but they really do. And there’s a bunch of places doing this according to the article. Blergh

Finally getting round to finishing the Final Architecture series by @aptshadow.bsky.social now that a friend of mine has unshackled me. It’ll be a melancholy feeling to leave these character behind for the last time, but I’m excited to see how it concludes and who Ollie cusses out the most

A real Stoic keeps his philosophy close to his β€œburned hole in the text”
