monks debating whether vows of silence should still allow you to leave emoji reacts on the monastery groupchat

So a guy I went to middle school with now works in the vatican and according to Cam, the rules on:

• Whether you can leave emoji reacts in the groupchat
• Whether you can leave regular messages in the groupchat
• Whether you can HAVE a groupchat
• Whether you can have Electronic Devices

-vary from one silent monastic order to another, but none of them have ever successfully banned “Long trail of increasingly hostile post-it messages on the fridge”.

I love the hagiographies that are like “St. Christopher was 12 feet tall and frost giants helped him build an abbey out of the bones of a giant pig, which were gold”

And then you Google the abbey and it’s clearly just French and made of slate rock or whatever.

pig giant bones turn slate and french after a few years

that makes sense

I’m fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.

For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.

But a reblog break indicates that time has passed.

I’ve seen the shortened version of Cab Calloway’s St James Infirmary Blues from the Betty Boop Snow White 1933 cartoon on Tumblr a few times, thought you’d all like the full version.

it’s easy to forget that 30’s animation really is just like that,
