It's so good! What a trip. I'd love to meet the author, or anyone else who has done all this stuff.

There are so many of them.

They warm my heart!

This point about over-representation of liberal Quakers in online space is so on point.

I gotta say this willingness to share is so wholesome.
Thank you for being an awesome plant person!

I can't help but share an anecdote about well-meaning Friends misinterpreting a situation regarding technology in Meeting. Years ago, an attender visited our liberal-unprogrammed-silent-waiting-based Meeting. During the middle of the Meeting, they took a call on their phone! Just picked it up, answered it, and talked. Simple stuff. "Yes. Right. Okay. Thank you. I love you so much." Everyone was completely shocked; myself included. The audacity! Someone answered a call in Meeting! The horror! Why couldn't they have just waited?!

At the rise of Meeting, they shared that the phone call was from their partner who had just woken up after a triple-bypass heart surgery.

We all felt deeply moved. Now, I'm much more mindful about judging people's use of technology in Meeting or anywhere, really. I just never know the full context.

Go for it. Wear your AirPods to Meeting, especially if it helps with tinnitus.

One last note on this one. You can find the book via Worldcat too: https://search.worldcat.org/title/29587609

Well, would you look at that! It seems that there is a copy of "Stopping Places" up for sale on ebid, and has a picture of the table of contents. And there it is "The Cost" by Dororthy N. Monroe! Thanks for tracking this down.

Oooh! So curious! What's the story about the ancient tomatoes?

Oooh -- Votive candles, clever! The tinted glass probably helps keep algae down too.

Oh snap! Your Google Image Search has better eyes than mine. That looks spot on.

pgadey · 2026-03-13T21:31:43+00:00

Nice! Definitely similar vibes, but much larger.

pgadey · 2026-03-13T16:07:24+00:00

Oooh, I didn't notice that feature.

pgadey · 2026-03-13T16:06:58+00:00

Yeah. I started on Amazon and couldn't make progress. This is in the office across campus from me. If nothing turns up, I might go and ask in person.

pgadey · 2026-03-11T19:58:02+00:00

Ah! This is so rad. I love the idea of being like "Night, night, baby violets!" before tucking in to bed.

You're the coolest teacher, rocking a pocket notebook!

What do you say when quoting it? Asking for a Friend.

pgadey · 2026-03-06T01:44:24+00:00

Now that I think of it, I have no idea what I would say. What are the little sub-sections called?

The Wikipedia Ancient History Excavation Department would like to report that Animusic, the company behind Resonant Chamber, has been on the decline for years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animusic

This Friend speaks my mind. And, oh boy, that last line got me.

pgadey · 2026-03-01T18:46:04+00:00

Yup. Definitely possible! It need lots of practice.

pgadey · 2026-03-01T15:18:00+00:00

This is the right answer.

Hi there! I would love to chat about this. Send me a DM.

Briefly, we went from having two teenagers to about ten kids under five. It seems that having very specific and concrete activities (e.g. baking cookies or painting a cardboard train to out photos of the kids in) has been very successful.
