Friends who JUST want to hear about the life of Quakers in Wales today
are invited to visit this item which appeared in RantWoman’s morning Twitter
feed.
Warning the site appears to have many of the GOOD accessibility
features common in sites from Great Britain. Thank you RNIB. However, all the
ad goop, popups, GDPR Opt in button, and possibly some technical difficulties
on RantWoman’s Windows machine of the day are a serious impediment to
appreciation of the Quaker content. RantWoman will try on her phone later.
Interesting phrases extracted in spite of technical difficulties
Movements of God or the Holy Spirit
Promptings of Love and Spirit in one’s heart
Welcome to Planet RantWoman. This concludes this morning’s Blindness
Tourism excursion.
Oops, no. Another ad interrupts: RantWoman attended 9:30 worship. RantWoman is
ALWAYS glad to see Service Python Friend, the person who first suggested that
RantWoman might find a Service Python helpful. RantWoman also expects that other worshippers
are grateful to have been spared vocal ministry about that Barclay dude, the
peculiar communion of shared experiences such has hand the blind person cash
unsolicited and Grab the Blind Person and Bless Them. In any case, RantWoman
was well-led to be there.
Good Morning World.
RantWoman achieved almost SEVEN hours of sleep last night. Now if the
wheels of cyclical housing funders inspection would grind so that RantWoman can
mop a floor that REALLY needs to be mopped AND put her mop out on the balcony
to dry without fear it will get carried away to make things look pristine
according to inspectors’ standards.
Anyway, sleep is good. RantWoman in underslept zombie mode was
reflecting on the day’s events and meditating about Life the Universe and
Everything found herself wondering whether the Association of Bad Friends at
over 3000 members, more than most if not
all North American Yearly Meetings, and a bold experiment in non-geography-specific membership, is ripe for schisms. RantWoman
further found herself considering a number of congregation names and ministries
that might be more appropriately situated in the Association of Really Really
Bad friends.
Endless Ableism Forever and Ever Amen regional Gathering.
(self-explanatory?)
Batshit Fanatics and WackJobs of All Stripes Arbitrary Intervals Meeting
(dedicated, among other things, to an abortion thread in RantWoman’s Twitter
feed.) and funded by judicious marketing of composted batshit.
The Still Didn’t Get the Memo Committee on Email Immoderation will be
seeking to form a clearness committee in order to request status as a
full-blown ministry.
And Nominating Committee has approached RantWoman with a most unusual
request: would RantWoman be willing to serve as official Meeting Bogeyman.
The answer should of course be somewhere between NO and OH HELL NO.
But this is Planet RantWoman and the Association of Really Really Bad
Friends! As long as complaints are about of RantWoman “dominating conversations,”
sowing “divisiveness,” not appreciating all that … have done for her…., what if
we just acknowledge that there should certainly be room in the Association of
Really Really Bad Friends for a megalomaniac willing seriously to consider a
quest for World Domination?
Lead rantWoman not into Temptation.
Well, actually, now that Rantwoman has everyone’s attention and
peculiarly celebrates an uptick in Business Meeting attendance…
Stay tuned for
Business Meeting secondhand
More and Better Business Meetings of the Future: Dodging Dystopia
Look Friend, appreciation is EXACTLY why RantWoman does not leave.
Wearing Too Many Hats: Recognizing / naming / growing the number of
heads available to wear hats.
A giant thank you to the Friend who shoveled sidewalks and also cited
concern for the “unhoused” (current term of art) who sleep with us every night.
Meditations upon passion, ecology, disaster resilience, discernment,
transportation.
