Social Notes

Short posts that are often pushed to social media (a.k.a. tweets).

  • I can’t imagine the weight I’d feel if I was the *last* speaker of a language. twitter.com/incunabula/sta…

  • @CatholicSkeptic My schools didn’t have doors at all or even real stalls. Cinder block walls that would only go halfway up—could look over at talk to the person next to you by high school age. Only peed at school. Toured the school for 20th reunion and thankfully they have real stalls now.

  • RT @AustinCityParks: Mueller’s latest amenity, the skate park and cycle pump track, is now open to public! Enjoy skateboarding, inline ska…

  • @RGC3 I’ve never intentionally had gin, so can’t really comment there. But as for the rest, I must be extremely malevolent then.

  • @cdils @mrpritchett My phone has an optional “crash detection” and “fall detection” setting where if it senses those things, in however it does such things, it would call 911 if no response from me. That’s my best guess. So weird.

  • Diocese of Austin returning to communion under both kinds (e.g. bread and wine) September 14th. After going since March 2020 without it, I have a far greater appreciation of the typical norms that only have it offered under both kinds for “special occasions”. twitter.com/AustinDiocese/…
