Keep your eyes on Palestine. We know the illegal occupation launches attacks when Western media is distracted.

oh DANG look at this incredible CAMP DAMASCUS art from LAUREN KNIGHT this is so wonderful i am blown away

[neil-gaiman]

My copy of @drchucktingle's book Camp Damascus has arrived! (The publishers were kind enough to send me an advanced copy when I mentioned that I had ordered a copy but time was not kind to me as it was Finish Good Omens and Wrap Things Up Before the Strike world, and I had no personal reading time. So I'm really looking forward to settling down to read it.)

Happy Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul (this Saturday)!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In the Bible, after Jesus has ascended, His followers start spreading their updated version of Judaism, called "the Way." A villainous figure named Saul goes around capturing these proto-Christians and bringing them to Jewish authorities to face punishment for their apparent blasphemies. However, on his way to Damascus to continue persecuting the Way, he has an encounter with Jesus -- a sort of vision accompanied by a bright light that only he can see, and a voice that he and all his companions can hear. After this encounter, Saul becomes Paul, a new follower of the Way, and uses his impressive education and influence to bridge the gap between Jew and Gentile and become perhaps the most pivotal apostle in the Early Church. 2. In this cartoon, I use the term "Christian." This is anachronistic, as the term "Christian" hadn't yet been assigned to Christ's followers in Saul's time. Also, Saul did not really speak English, and was not a two dimensional cartoon creature. Also, my signature is not actually on the road to Damascus. Also--

to whom it may concern,

if you're someone who used to read a lot as a child and now you're an adult who hasn't read a book in five years and you miss that part of yourself, i'm here to reassure you that that part of yourself isn't gone for good. It's a habit you can nurture. All it needs is a little bit of practice, and a little bit of pushing through to the part where you start enjoying yourself again

Sincerely,

An adult who's learning to love reading again
