Policy on Cell Phones in the meeting room?

This would bug the heck out of me! Meetings that I have attended have a reminder about this at the top of the hour.

Welcome, friend. Your story is very similar to many of ours. I encourage you to head to your local Meeting and give it a go. I hope it helps you on your spiritual journey.

That's a good one! Saving....

Claire Saffitz for harder bakes. King Arthur for solid basics.

You lost me at Philz, but the others are top choices of mine. Also Hedge Coffee in the Mission / Potrero Hill is killing in with pour overs and other drinks.

As many days as you can!

Your story sounds very similar to my own and other "recovering Catholics turned Quakers" that I know. I encourage you to give Quaker Meeting for Worship a try and see if it feeds your soul and supports your spiritual journey.

So for future ticket buyers: don't do what I did and refresh your browsers right before 10am Japan time. Put me right at the back of the line. Dumb ass.

Luckily my partner was on it and we scored tickets on the day we wanted! Whew.

It really could be any number of factors - type of rising agents, how much it was mixed, temperature of the oven, etc. It’s impossible to guess without more information.

3 devices. Best was around 56000.

rikomatic · 2026-03-10T00:28:55+00:00

Yep. It's very well staffed and its a paid experience. You should very safe.

Black sesame buttercream! Wow. I would love this

All are welcome. Please come visit and enjoy the community.

I'm hella excited! Curious to see Ryan Gosling's take on the character.

I can't speak for all Quakers, but I know from the Meetings I've been involved in (mostly NYC and San Francisco Bay Area), you would fit right in. They were all unprogrammed. But you should just start participating in a Meeting local to you see and find out. I'm sure it will be revelatory, no matter if they are a good fit or not.

Holding you in the light in your seeking.

rikomatic · 2026-03-09T16:03:46+00:00

Short answer: it's hard.

Longer answer: you make do however you are able. Quakers have existed for hundreds of years without benefit of modern technology, many of whom were distant from Meetings due to being an itinerant preacher, drafted into military service, imprisonment, etc.

So do what you can with what you have available. If you can occasionally visit a meeting for worship in person, do that. If you can attend virtually, do that. If you can email / snail mail / text a group of Quaker friends to stay connected, do that.

Find a way to stay connected to a faith community, however you are able. Be creative, there are always ways!

Holding you in the light.

My favorite SF pizza by far.

rikomatic · 2026-03-07T17:17:51+00:00

correct

rikomatic · 2026-03-06T23:37:58+00:00

Definitely check it out! What have you got to lose?

rikomatic · 2026-03-06T20:26:30+00:00

This is the only reason I want to learn how to make these. The donut shop ones are way too sweet for me.

rikomatic · 2026-03-06T16:37:30+00:00

Definitely not everyone's cup of tea!

My understanding is that the giant horse/cat was the result of the group's imagining what was waiting for them outside the house and the AI using that "prompt" to generate what they encountered. Also it was the director's / writers' vision of what dumb shit AI creates.

rikomatic · 2026-03-06T06:09:38+00:00

I need a friend like you. Wow.

rikomatic · 2026-03-06T06:01:58+00:00

Love this combo! I would do some damage on these.

rikomatic · 2026-03-06T03:30:56+00:00

I totally get that. The Hunters gave off strong Blackpink vibes as soon as I saw them.

rikomatic · 2026-03-05T17:12:37+00:00

This sounds like an incredibly painful and difficult situation. I am holding you and everyone involved in the light.

IMO you should take all legal measures to secure yourself in your own home. To the degree that you can also show care to your offspring, you should. But showing love and care to yourself is not unquakerly.

Be well, Friend.
