I have done some digging, and I can see our diocese term begins on the 15th, and Cuddesdonās term start date for part time students would be the 23rd.
A group of us have a food WhatsApp group that began during lockdown. Body postive, zero diet talk. A joy. Tonight I asked for crumpet recommendations and was disappointed when someone said Warburtons were hole-ier, but not holy-er. But imagine the Eucharistic potential of CRUMPETS, tho š®
Iām not sure. The only info I have is that I was going to be training with Cuddesdon, but Iāve now been told Iām too young for that pathway, so they are seeking an alternative.
Weāre now on the 3rd of September, and although Iāve received my official letter from the bishop, weāre still waiting to hear from the National Church about funding for myself and one other person in our group. Iād appreciate prayer that this gets sorted before term begins š #CofEPeeps āļø
On 8 September, Shadi Khoury, a former student of Ramallah Friends School, will receive the judgement of an Israeli military court after facing unsubstantiated charges for nearly three years. Write to your MP now to ask them to urgently advocate for his human rights to be upheld.
Wow
Thank you @philippaeast.bsky.social for this important thread of the Equalities Minister answering questions today about transpeople. Don't regulate us out of public life without evidence and then say you're committed to our welfare.
Definitely! Some animals take years to feel comfy and sociable.
I also use folks.
āYāallā would sound very odd with an accent from the south of England, so I use āeveryoneā.
Iāll be honest, having nurses children in hospital with long term complications from it, Iām delighted to see it add to the vaccine schedule. Iāve always been confused why wasnāt on there.

Thanks Phil.
So so depressing that we even have to confront this reality of what playbook @teamlabouruk.bsky.social seem wedded to. So. Depressing. I feel utterly betrayed.
Oh, itās so lovely when they begin to warm to you, especially when itās taken a while š„°
Thank you! I get a lot of migraines but for this one is especially uncomfortable. I went out without sunglasses yesterday evening and I think Iām now reaping the whirlwind.
I will say after sharing a washing machine and tumble dryers with other people for many years, I feel incredibly privileged to now have our own. Iām sorry people are so inconsiderate where you live.
If the migraine making the left side of my face go ouch for last eighteen hours could please excuse itself, thatād be grand šš»
At least in the UK, itās a meal with itsā origins in making meat stretch for working class families. Pretty on-point for Labor Day, even if unintentional :)
I did briefly also consider the latter š
We leave a little camera on when weāre away to keep an eye on the cats, and whilst spying on them just now, I managed to some how set off the cameraās alarm š± Nothing have I felt so horribly guilty about frightening them š³
Thatās justā¦slightly unhinged? Unless theyāve split it by person? Weāve also worked out if we include a colour catcher with the load, we can can basically put everything into the same load at 30 deg C (Iād guess 85 deg F).

It seems like a good option as a Baby Step. Iāve noticed when Factor sponsor Natalie Bennet or Minimal Mom videos they include a discount code, incase that helps.
I have seen the Factor meals on YouTube videos, and they look good, Iād just be worried about cost for you. They sound spendy. But maybe you can do a mix of them + your own easy stuff other days?
No, thatās fair. Are there any frozen options that could work for that? Frozen salmon? Seasoned chicken portions? I am team fed is best but like you I prefer something vaguely balanced, hence the frozen peas š«
For me, I make and freeze extra portions of meals (pasta and sauce, curry and rice) to whack in the microwave, and stuff like sausages and potato waffles or potato smiles (Airfryer in 15 min), and frozen peas, just pour boiled water over them in a sieve. Ready meals here are š¤
I canāt specifically speak to Factor as donāt have them, but I can speak to keeping very easy food in that requires minimal attention/prep. On that basis, if you can budget for them I can see the Factor meals working as a good alternative to door dash. Theyāve got to work out cheaper overall.
To be honest, sometimes you need a pointless thing to get worked up about. Itās a good distraction.
Hurray!!

Many Anglicans donāt how how Catholic they are either. Iāve never forgotten the person raged against the idolertrous statues in RC churches. āSo what about the ones of Mary and Joseph in ours?ā āStatues of Mary and Joseph?ā āYes, in the church h youāve attended for three decades; what about those?ā
Ah, so in much the same way Iāve found many Anglicans assume Roman Catholics are all exactly the same? One benefit of being part of five denominations over the last forty years has been realising that most of the flaws they each have are the same things in different packaging.
Your point about being able to do so safely is *so* key. Access to the internet isnāt enough.

With all the every day words weāve found it wonāt accept (and not English spellings!), I canāt imagine getting get up over intinct, of all things š
Military service is far less common here (for all kinds of reasons), but studies show essentially the same correlation.
As a bi-vocational person, work is a key part of my vocation - and of all those who God has called into the working world outside the church. Ora et labora!!
They really arenāt deserving of anyoneās membership at this point. Iām grateful I rescinded my membership some time ago, though the branch I belonged to made it *very* hard to do.
Sex Matters is the UKās Project 25, its Heritage Foundation - the beating heart of Labourās anti bodily-autonomy agenda It's 'sex matters' thats driving the governments hostility and cruelty towards Trans+ folk And captured by transphobes Starmer, Streeting, Mahmood, and Phillipson, Labour is lost
Is there anyone in my circles who knows anyone at Meta who can help get Stephanie reinstated on Facebook? She runs a group there that supports people with diabetic cats which has 7k members, and a vet group with 3k vets in it. If anyone deserves to have their account reinstated, it's Steph.
#stopkillingjournalistsinGaza. Some 210 media workers killed in Gaza, rsf.org/en/rsf-and-a... Today media around the world are supporting a day of action to pressure Israeli government to stop killing media workers and to let international press into Gaza. pressgazette.substack.com/p/stop-killi...
Cindi, are you aware the UK is not part of the USA?
This seems important:
It's not asylum seekers and migrants who are putting our way of life at risk. It's the racists, and their cheerleaders in politics and the media
Thank you - this is very useful info.
Thank you āŗļø

We've given up on public health and as a result children are sicker than they've been since the start of the modern vaccine age - , we're ignoring repeated covid infections, they're not well. Punishing them and their parents is delusional. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
For your Saturday delight and delectation:
Me neither! Itās great they are offering both on-site and livestream options.
Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law. Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.
I found there was a real value in having formal meetings (as, with a specific purpose, not in a suit and tie š) where people familiar with the process of discerned asked good and challenging questions of you.

Iāve just spotted she is coming to give a lecture as part a series called, āHere I standā at St Martin in the Fields this September, about standing up for oneās convictions.
Sounds great! I realise I am likely to need more than two books long term, but itās good to start somewhere. Iām also working on learning to note take properly, so having something dense to read and then summarise is helpful.
Never has filling in a post event questionnaire felt so worth while š āBusiness Practiseā is a key part of Quaker spirituality, and even if it can be frustrating sometimes, it has tangible benefits as a way of working.
Never has filling in a post event questionnaire felt so worth while š āBusiness Practiseā is a key part of Quaker spirituality, and even if it can be frustrating sometimes, it has tangible benefits as a way of working. Seriously, though, it made it feel a safe and inclusive space for people.
An absolute masterclass from UK Quakers on how organisations of all kinds can stand up for the rights and safety of trans people, even post Supreme Court ruling and with all of the EHRC's cruelties: www.quaker.org.uk/documents/re...
Can anyone suggest an introductory text to the OT or NT? Iām wondering if there are any texts that are commonly used for this purpose. Iām aware the essays in the Oxford Annotated NRSV are also meant to be a good starter. #CofEPeeps
I confess this is why, although I like the principle of them, I never have a truly Big Sleep In. Just messes with my brain.
People often want to continue using the same pans theyāve always had, or they want to buy a cheaper induction stove so they can spend more on cookware. Neither was a good combo. Something like a Bosch or Neff (or similar) hob plus higher end (not necessarily highest) worked well.
I used to work across a fitted kitchen, electrical appliance, and kitchenware department. Our experience and the feedback of customers taught us the solution to this conundrum was, frustratingly, a good, branded domestic stove and good quality branded cookware. Cheaper if either didnāt work well.
Indeed.
āOo err," as my Nana would have said. It's very blowy out there.
Oh wow! How exciting for him!!
Would this not be tricky given this the spelling of Catholick used in the Athenasian creed included in the 1662 BCP where itās used to mean inclusive of those who hold to the creed?
Could you educate me? What is he telling him? What am I witnessing here? Besides joy, obviously, which is lovely.
At the rate we going, you wonder, donāt you?
I have just pinged them an enquiry - thank you for the prompt.
Thank you for the reminder. I need to work out if they can cover my other line of work, too, as Iām a member of Unison for that.
Thanks both. I had read this paragraph but misread and misunderstood it. I can see a value to not saying anything specifically partisan from the pulpit. But you can speak out about and support organisations and actions more broadly in line with the beliefs of justice, peace etc.
The wording is slightly different but it was clear what it meant.
Yes! Thatās still basically a thing.
This was incredible! I was relieved when Monty Don said many of these plants wouldnāt survive in his garden. Some might here in Suffolk, but others would drown or suffer from the salt in the wind. Weāre very much an all or nothing county in terms of weather.
Has anyone here received offers from "Peer Publicon", a scientific writing 'consultancy' company, offering authorship positions? Please DM me privately. Will keep confidential. #PaperMills
The majority of ours are plastic but are building up our terracotta pots one or two a year, by buying them when on sale. They do require more care, but they are lasting well. Weāve found plastic pots perish and break due to the sun, and the large ones cost quite a lot comparatively.
Oh, dude š±
The entire point of the current trans rights ādebateā in the UK (aka TERF Islandā) is to be cruel and vile to people who simply want to live their lives. The Lemkin Institute on Genocide Prevention has red flagged UKās treatment of trans people as genocidal.
We really need a lot more investment in translating Autistic people's writing into other languages. There are many reasons this should be a priority; this is just one...
I appreciate being a member of a political party, or supporting an organisation aligned with a party, could be viewed as political. Butā¦ everything is political? What about organisations supporting migrants, or even unions? How does this work?
Iād like to learn more about the Clergy conduct rules and what constitutes political involvement. Iāve read the text, but are the examples anywhere of what it allows/prohibits? #CofEPeeps
Yes, I agree. Eugenics sounds better if itās happening to other people rather than yourself or those you care about.
It is.
Just turned the sound up on this and nearly gave the cat sleeping on my lap a coronary -oops! Beautiful sound (if one isnāt a cat!).
I think people also assume it means it wonāt affect them or those they care about, because they donāt realise they fall into that category. We see the same disability issues for many peoples, until someone is personally affected in some way.
Our are half siblings. Ours are very much a bonded pair; they sleep in a heap, play together incl play fighting, and bath one another, sometimes at the same time which is very cute. They do still annoy one another.
They do!
Cats are very much their ownā¦people? Creatures. They do what they like!
There was a high profile article about children in Gaza where the author wrote the same thing. Itās both awful, and as a disabled person, you hear it all the time.
Of course, the tumble dryer is now finished and will beep until I get up to turn it off. So best get used to that noise for next hour.
Oop, now weāre both snoozy. The joy of a bonded pair is they often sleep on a heap.
Planned splat day is going well. Pulled some knitting projects out to frog. Sat down to frog them. Howeverā¦we have not made much progress on that due to cats.
Their banking experience may drive me wild, but Iāve got to give it to them, Co-Ops new advert does remind you what is unique to them into terms of their food shops. Our local East of England Co Ops sell their products, too, as well more local products.
Not inappropriate at all. We find our joy where we can.
Itās hard when there are lots of positive opportunities offered to you. Iāve found it helpful in holding on to the thought that saying ānoā to one things means I can say a whole hearted āyesā to something else. When I say yes to too many things I find I become exhausted and resentful.
#CofEpeeps Can anyone recommend a liberal Anglican church to visit near South Kensington (London) this weekend?
