do you ever get emotional about how the writer of Psalm 88 almost certainly meant these verses as rhetorical questions:

“Will You work wonders for the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise You? Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction? Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?”

and Jesus said yes.

I love the beautiful symbolism in Sense and Sensibility 1995 where the story that's all about how money interferes with love ends with Colonel Brandon throwing coins in the air, but I really wish it had kept the script's idea that Fanny gets hit in the eye with one of the coins.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, stop saying that Mrs. Bennet is the only one "taking the situation seriously."

She is not.

Screaming about a problem doesn't mean you are taking it seriously. If she was taking it seriously, she'd have given her girls a proper education and advocated for saving for dowries. Her little schemes around Jane don't count as taking it seriously.

No one is taking the situation seriously.

boop and it shall be booped unto you

I think I love “O Come O Come Emmanuel” because it’s precisely the right amount of yearning and hope. I tend to view it in one of two ways:

-Someone crying out to God for deliverance in the verses, and God reassuring them that their Deliverer is coming in the chorus

-Someone alternating between yearning to see salvation and God’s glory, and rejoicing that they even have this hope that these things will come.

I am SICK and TIRED of seeing so much hate towards Al! Al hasn't done ANYTHING to hurt ANYONE! Al is harmless!

But I can already hear the Al haters out there!

"Al isn't original!" No shit, Sherlock! That's what we love the most about Al.

"People aren't supposed to look like that!" That sounds like a problem between you and God, and frankly, plenty of people like the way Al looks.

"Al is just too WEIRD!" Have you ever thought that you might be to NORMAL to actually appreciate Al?

I think you all need to apologize to Al right now!

APOLOGIZE TO HIM

APOLOGIZE TO WEIRD AL RIGHT NOW!

I've said it before, but I reread Emma, so I'm saying it again.

George Knightley is THE Austen Hero. He is kind, compassionate, never condescends. He is so nice that not once, but TWICE, he is mistaken for being in love when he's not. He may be strict and rational, but he isn't cold. He plays with his nieces and nephews and helps keep the peace between family members. He calls Emma out, but only because he wants to help her be the best possible version of herself. He moves into Hartfield at the end, something completely unheard of in those days, because he knows Emma would never leave her father and he would never ask her to.

He is just. The Peak.

imagine you've grown very old and imagine you can't remember the details of your youth and imagine your great grandkids are over and imagine they get their hands on an antique smartphone.

imagine you watch them silently struggle to turn it on, but you are so old and your voice is so tired, maybe just let them figure it out. imagine they do figure it out, and imagine they find a playlist called "90's/2000's vibes". imagine they ask "that's when great-grandma was young, right?"

imagine they bring it over to you and imagine they play emotions by mariah carey.

imagine they watch your face very carefully during the climax of the song.

imagine they see that half-guilty smile play at the corners of your mouth, and an unspoken pact forms between them as they decide that great-grandma must be reminiscing about a forbidden love lost to time

and they have no idea you're thinking about that freaking lawnmower

Christmas movie idea: The Muppets do a parody of a Hallmark Christmas romance movie.

Must I pick a denomination? Is it not enough to be Protestant but start a lot of sentences with "not to sound Catholic but they make some good points regarding..."???

in love with this addition @parksandrx

The Washburn Review, Kansas, November 14, 1923

" It darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightley must marry no one but herself!"
