  1. Watching Judi Dench (recorded) exploring whether her Danish ancestor would have met Shakespeare in London. No spoilers, and we’re not at the programme end yet. Meanwhile I ponder that my direct ancestor must surely have met Shakespeare. As a fellow writer, and more importantly secretary to James VI and I’s Danish queen. #Genealogy #Shakespeare #Denmark #London #KingJames #Acting

  2. I'm starting (🆕) a new church (⛪) journey (🆕)

    I'm 🆕 to a baptist ⛪ for the sunday worship service. It's a newer building⛪ , that was built and I believe founded, somewhere around 2015.

    Check out their specific beliefs here:

    northfwbchurch.org/im-new/

    This will be my first appearance to the ⛪, while not my first ever attended ⛪. Technically it may be my 3rd,

    However the 1st one I was going to I vaguely remember since I was under 5 years old then. The 2nk one I had a lot of childhood memories going there use to be my primary however since, it's an hour away, and I'm learning to ride the bus I took my time picking a good quality one that was closer for bus travel for me

    This 3rd one that I'm going to, at age 26 tomorrow on Sunday. It's been nearly 10 years for me since I actively went to a ⛪, so this is why this is 🆕 for me. I can't drive (because I have slower in quick real time reaction situation) so i'l be ridding the #publicbus to it. (luckily the ⛪ is a close ride under 45 minutes. (closer to a 30 minute ride)

    This ⛪ believes in the trinity, and to my knowledge (although i'l have to ask to get direct confirmation.) they'l be following the kings james bible. in other words, it's a pretty decent ⛪ they follow the word closely. This is going by the website, not in person conversation plus there more specific question i'l have to ask them in person.

    If you're interested, they directly tell you *what it is they believe in the link I provided above, I feel most Christians that try to follow the word closely, might also like this ⛪ 's standings. But I'm open to any interpretation or comment if anyone finds out anything interesting that proves otherwise specifically of this ⛪

  3. CW: CW: Bible

    Just FYI, I maintain a script that (attempts to) correct the archaic spelling (and some of the terms) of the "King James Bible" and bring it closer to modern English:

    codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/sr

    All it requires is sed (both BSD and GNU versions have been tested successfully, IIRC).

  4. Early Modern English had some great words that are still fun to use today. Here is a table of the pronouns from that period and how, when, and where to correctly use them.

  5. The edition of The Holy Bible conservative #Christians most frequently quote to justify condemnation of queer people bears the name of a Renaissance-era monarch who would, in likelihood, have identified as #queer.

  6. The GOAT debate with athletes of different generations is kind of silly, but LeBron James is clearly in the pantheon. Considering his accomplishments on and off the court combined with character, he is unrivaled. And irrefutably, there is no greater basketball playing wine drinker. He is the G.O.W.N. -- Greatest of Wine Nerds. #wine #basketball #lebronjames #kingjames
