@TeawithTolkien Least favorite: “The sea is always right.” Favorite: “'In the end, this shadow is but a small and passing thing. There is light and high beauty forever beyond its reach.” - A surprise delight to hear a phrase from Sam on the lips of Bronwyn. And one of the best book passages

@EmilyKath319 For a high school class we asked our parents what they would say if we got pregnant. All my friends’ moms said they’d take them to the abortion clinic. My mom told me a baby was a gift, and if I needed help, she’d raise the child. I was amazed with joy to hear this was an option.

Sometimes I think I go about life with a pretty secular view of the world. And sometimes I find myself wondering if I should call ahead and make sure a place is open on Maundy Thursday.

@asmamk I considered switching when I first discovered emojis with different skin and hair colors had been created, but then none of them had red hair so I stayed with original yellow since none of the others look like me anyway.

@flemingrut I used to sing this all the time as a new deacon serving in Tanzania. It was so moving to think that when everyone I knew in the US was going to bed, we were the ones waking and carrying on the work of praise.

OB’s also end up predicting poor quality of life for conditions they know little about. Yet, for instance, in DiGeorge Syndrome roughly 10% of cases are inherited directly from a parent, and most of those parents do not even know they have DiGeorge until their child is diagnosed

Prenatal tests promise to detect rare genetic diseases in babies by scanning DNA. Labs market them as "reliable." They tell women to have "total confidence" in results. It turns out, the grave predictions made by those tests are usually wrong. (1/5) nytimes.com/2022/01/01/ups…
