@todd Very different from Babel. Still enjoyable. She’s riffing on all the hell/afterlife mythologies. It’s maybe just a bit too clever but it’s well done.
@ReaderJohn @isaacgreene Following… I love me some Ravel but I need to know more.
@drose It’s bittersweet, every time.
@ChrisJWilson Yes, yes, yes. Life, and people, are complicated, and parenting or shepherding or just loving them properly is just as complicated.
@ablerism It also helps me start to understand my current-day challenges to have relationships with my family of origin.
@ablerism Yeah, it’s far too familiar. Hearing the podcast articulate it so clearly finally helped me condense the thought. As a parent, as I left the church I grew up in, I’ve had to work to develop those tools in the hopes that I will maintain relationships w/ my children as they become adults.
@frankm That’s a fascinating insight. Gonna chew on that one a bit.
@mtrkdjoyce.bsky.social Thanks for the background! My own history with the Episcopal Church is only a couple years long… still coming up to speed. :-)
@joshuapsteele Yep, exactly.
@mtrkdjoyce.bsky.social I’m not familiar with the website or the author, so no insight there… but watching the movie made it clear Rian Johnson grew up a youth group kid even before he said so in interviews. Even if he now disavows Christianity he still understands Jesus.
@mtrkdjoyce.bsky.social The author seems unable to recognize that there are portions of the church and people within it who are worthy of critique.
@mtrkdjoyce.bsky.social Oh dear.
@todd Oh, this is great. Thanks for writing and sharing it.
@kaylstew.bsky.social Of course. Be well.
@dljohnston.bsky.social It was pretty full after being fairly empty the previous week. The hymns were bangers.
@lex Mine was similarly barren this morning. I expect Monday will be different.
@KyleEssary My gym was very slow this morning at 5:30. But I bet on Monday it’ll be busier than normal… and that’ll last for about a week.
