church lady magic✨

Here have a quick flat paint scribble of an AU where Church Lady Phee is a smart mouthed anthropology professor that randomly goes over to sass/hit on/steal ‘treasures’ from the College of Engineering where Ryan-from-Accounting Tech is working.

Yes she would be an AKA, she has that energy, according to people in the know, ir Redneck Doug (“You know her bathroom is covered in green and pink, trust me.”). She also is a Saints fan, a proud Crescent City resident, and I will die on that hill. WHO DAT.

I was compelled to venture to church yesterday, and at one point I was standing on a bench, minding my business, when I hear the Phantom of the Opera Overture start playing—obviously someone’s ringtone—and of course I look directly at the cluster of youth closest to my line of sight like, “alright, which of you lil creatures is a theater junkie”, and lo and behold, it was a little old lady.

Sometimes, your bishop just needs to be called by name to the entire internet and told he has an unwashed ass.

Ambassadors or Judges: Which Role Should Christians Play?

Governments appoint ambassadors to talk to other nations on their behalf. They represent our interests and concerns on the world stage, and even though most of them are appointed based on political favors, I hope at least some of them are given their posts based on competency. After all, they may need to help avert a serious schism between nations, or even a war now and then. We would hope that…

Little Kid Logic

Bud’s four-year-old nephew was a cute kid with a mouth! We were fortunate enough to be on hand when he initiated a conversation with his aunt, a proper church lady. She jokingly referred to her husband Mack as Macky Wacky Packy Sacky. Young Andrew had clearly been warned about his language prior to the visit. The warning was clearly heavy on his mind. He rebuked her. “ Don’t say that. Macky…

Church Ladies Rule!!

I’d like to speak on another short story from The Secret Lives of Church Ladies. This one being “Eula.” I found this story incredibly frustrating. It details the struggle of a queer woman and her love affair with a closeted woman of faith. For literal decades, they had been having a sexual relationship, however, Eula refuses to view what they have as genuine. This would not have bothered me so much if one of two things occurred. One, Caroletta realized that Eula would never really accept her or what they had, and she moved on. Two, Eula opened her mind at least a little. Neither occurred. I was left with the distinct impression that they were both going to die and never figure it out. It was very disappointing to read as it left me with no closure. I felt as though I had read a story with no ending because for all intents and purposes I did. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The damage done to Eula was permanent. She could never see what was right in front of her no matter how much time passed and no matter how badly Caroletta wanted to make things work. Though unsatisfying, I shudder to think just how many women in real life have gone or are currently going through something similar and they have no resolution to speak of either.

My opinion on the 'would modern au Harrow be goth or Catholic' debate is that she would be both and it would throw everyone off. She goes equally hard on both of those things and no one knows what to do about it.

🦢 our lady of sorrows 🕯

[astrangergivingthestrangewelcome]

The universally hates old people crowd truly does not understand how much of our society is run by old retired ladies working what ought to be a 40-hour a week paid position with benefits for free. You have no idea how much knowledge would be lost if everyone over the age of 60 just disappeared right now.

My new nickname?

I don’t remember exactly when my mother went into the nursing home, but it is pushing ten years that she has been in one or the other.  Her health is reasonable, but she suffers from dementia, Alzheimer’s to be specific.  This September she will be ninety.  The first half of her time in nursing homes she knew I was someone, but for the last several years she has had no clue who I am. I do not…
