James Martin, SJ@JamesMartinSJ (Feb 14, 2023)…your heart is by reaching out to someone you’re at odds with, or whom you’ve offended. One way to show love on #ValentinesDay is to reconcile with a family member or friend. Then you’ll be able to soften their hearts too.

Quote of the Day

R Bratten Weiss@Prof_RBW (February 17, 2023) If you are a language nerd, you do not quail before neologisms. You are not horror-struck as seeing words put to uses they never served before. As a language nerd you delight in discovering more ways language works, more ways language serves human community. “I can’t handle using ‘they’ as a singular personal pronoun; I’m a language nerd.” No you are not. You are a person who learned a grammar rule in fourth grade and are now clinging to it because you are adrift in a wide sea of words that scares and confuses you.

Quote of the Day

Matt Pearce �@mattdpearce (February 18, 2023) Roald Dahl’s books have been edited to stop calling people fat so much, plus other offensive things. This is being described as “woke.” I would reply that hardly anyone on here has read unfiltered Dahl, who has periodically needed, um, revision.Roald Dahl’s books have been edited to stop calling people fat so much – Los Angeles Times (latimes.com) I don’t know why I picked this hill to tweet on. If you really want to pump your 8-year-old’s veins full of undiluted Dahl to educate them on the historicity of the 20th century, perhaps you can obtain one of the 300 million copies in circulation through some sort of samizdat.
