let's take this a step further and say, a majority of these people are also eager to convert others. once again; not necessarily in a specifically religious context, the specific religion or what takes its role is not the important part. that would instead be the "victory" of converting someone
Is there a limit on train length? Some freight trains seem to be very long. Presumably you don't want them exceeding the length of one signal controlled section of track?
Sometimes I really do just think about how people hold doors for strangers, even rush a bit and go out of their way to do it.

If anyone is aware of early references to the rainbow as made up of a particular number of colours, please let me know. Intrigued to know if its ‘sevenfoldness’ is a relatively modern idea.

We can spend so much of life chasing the things we think will satisfy us. Yet the deepest hunger is rarely fed by having more and more possessions. Perhaps what we really need is to be rooted in the things that reach beyond the surface and helps us become more fully human. #Unitarian #FaithAndLife
I heard Englishness defined as 'people who have been here for centuries' on Radio 4 this morning, and it went completely unchallenged
gee I wonder why the community and culture that weren't able to be seen in public for centuries have a culture that is largely nightlife
protestant dogmatic disputes are like 'does it really make sense to hold to a calvinist soteriology while also embracing christian perfectionism?" while orthodox dogmatic disputes are like 'of *course* there are kafkaesque aerial trials conducted by sky demons, you atheist, you utter buffoon'

At Piercebridge, County Durham, you can see the remains of the Roman bridge over the River Tees and the 3rd cent. fort built to guard it. But was there an earlier fort there? New blog at visiting-roman-sites.blogspot.com/2026/10/Pier... #RomanFortThursday #RomanBritain

I just started listening to this but aaaaaah it's so exciting to have someone in a leadership position talk so positively and enthusiastically about not just transit but cities. not defensive about safety, affirmative about the joy and connection that people experience in urban spaces
Want to boost your fruit yield? 🍋🍅 Try hand-pollination! Use a small artist's brush to gently transfer pollen between flowers. The best time is the middle of the day when the pollen is ripe and easily movable. This can lead to a much bigger harvest! #GardeningTips #GYO #Pollination #GardenHacks
For reference, the amount of SEXUAL CONTENT that used to be in wrestling. Not that there should be now, because it was extremely exploitive back then(which is more a WWE problem than a 'sexual content' problem). People pretended to have SEX IN THE RING IN THE EARLY 2000S.

I feel like it’s hard to express to people who got online after a certain era that culture wasn’t this conservative and censorious once upon a time. I mean, modern social media platforms are harsher on a lot of content than broadcast TV and magazines used to be.

Left-Hand Path Astrology: Yes, the planets are more powerful than you—thinking otherwise is delusional, like a surfer who thinks they can control the sets. But that doesn’t mean you are lesser than the them. You are a sovereign consciousness—the Black Flame. Learn from the planets, (re)integrate their forces, and strive to master them on your path toward apotheosis. Embrace the greater and lesser malefics—Saturn and Mars. They are foundational forces of the Left-Hand Path. ♄ Mitleidlose Liebe. #Astrology #Occult

Thought Chow's criticism of single native culture was interesting cause we usually think of reclaiming culture as something good after colonialism but she says how that can also erase differences within a population. Trying to maintain one national identity ends up silencing people in that culture?
The coloniser doesn’t get to determine the bounds of acceptable resistance of the colonised.
Hearing Black Americans who are not from the East or West Coast say they weren’t exposed to Black people from the Caribbean, Africa, or Central or South America feels odd to me. On one hand I see it and understand why but on the other hand i’m like how does this happen.

Therefore, regarding the process of practicing, even if you were to do the profound skillful means of the initiations of the tantra path, the generation-stages, and completion-stages, here, in Great Completion, through just looking with the divine eyes of awakened mind-itself, all these incidental stains of your nature go away by themselves. ~ Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen The Precious Treasury of the Expanse and Awakened Awareness; The Ornaments of the Definitive Secret

Actually one of the best things about Chinese, there’s no conjugation or declension or any of that BS. Just throw a 了 or a 会 or a 的时候 on it.

The Get on the Bus campaign did a ride-along event, and almost half the people who showed up hadn't ridden TARC before! Great way to get people less intimidated by transit.
Was talking to someone who sincerely believed that the hedonism of the Weimar era brought on fascism and… I implore people to study this stuff. I am no expert but obviously my research is adjacent. When the world as you knew it has crumbled, some people try to cope, others try to seize power.
