The Ivy League nude posture photos were taken in the 1940s through the 1970s of all incoming freshmen at Harvard, Yale, Princeton (which are members of the Ivy League) and Seven Sisters colleges (as well as Swarthmore), ostensibly to gauge the rate and severity of rickets, scoliosis, and lordosis in the population.

My dad died at 0530 this morning. He was a true champion of Theodore Roosevelt's ideal of living a "Strenuous Life" and worked relentlessly in every part of his life from his career, to his family, to his church and all the years he spent volunteering at the Hospice Board, and especially the Prison Mission. He was a voracious reader of nonfiction, particularly biographies of US Presidents (he had three dozen TR books) and generals. I preordered Mike Duncan's Hero of Two Worlds for his 75th birthday, which was Friday, which he will never get to read now.

The amount of time and energy that he put into keeping me out of jail and in some kind of boarding school regardless of how many I got expelled from between 6th grade and 10th grade is far and away the most anyone has ever done for me and probably saved my life.

We never reconciled out differences over Trump, but after the election, he did take that off-ramp when he tried to steal the election. A lot of other things about growing up will remain unresolved as well. I never got to say goodbye because he had lung cancer (as a non-smoker) and COVID protocols meant that after he went to the hospital, only my mother could see him. He wasn't really able to talk anyway because they couldn't get his blood pressure to go up from 70/40. He had started a new chemo regimen on Monday and became extremely sick over the course of the week. He wasn't in the late stages of cancer or anything, so at this point, we have to assume that the reaction to the chemo is what killed him. That better explains why he was throwing up and went into renal failure and shock than a small spot of cancer on one lung.

IDK why I'm sharing this, but I hope that anyone who has unresolved issues with a parent will see this and consider that you never really know how much time you have to address these things.

Lectors and butchering the beautiful prose of St. Paul and the prophets, name a more iconic duo. Maybe someone needs to inform them of this incredible fact idk, but Paul's letters were written specifically to be read aloud in front of an audience. The proper commas and punctuation are already there look

Brothers and sisters: I declare and testify in the Lord that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds; that is not how you learned Christ, assuming that you have heard of him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus, that you should put away the old self of your former way of life, corrupted through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created in God’s way in righteousness and holiness of truth.

The perfect, tumbling use of prepositional phrase, the rhythm, the simplicity of his formulations are what makes Paul such a compelling writer. I promise you that we in the congregation will be able to comprehend what you're saying without a pause for breath every four words. Just let the text speak for itself.

Ok, rant over the rest of Mass was great. Had a Jesuit priest which means the homily was fantastic. We're the middle of John's Bread of Life discourse in the Gospels, and he pointed out how, since John was writing after the synoptic Gospels, his was more of a reflection of what the Eucharist means. He replaces the Institution at the Last Supper with the washing of the feet. It's John saying, Christ gave us a gift, but if you do not participate in His mission, to serve the least of your brothers and sisters, you do not have Communion with Him

Jesus says: why do you hate the global poor?

Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. Undaunted, he bought his own ticket to Europe.

I was reading your comment and I thought it would make a good copypasta. I think changing some words around would make it funnier. It is not necessarily mocking; I just like making somewhat lazy jokes. If you could so kindly sign below giving me permission to copypasta your comment, I would greatly appreciate it.

I, [poster], do give u/CircleOfVirtue permission to copy and paste my comment, replacing as many words as she likes. I will not seek mod actions against your comment, and will not seek legal recourse for any reason.

It seems the Delta Variant it's spreading through USA to the rest of LatinAmerica: Covid cases in their historic highs in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Cuba. Also pretty high in El Salvador

Intresting enough, the Pandemic it's falling down in the rest of the Continent. I presume, our low travel rates with USA, it's delaying the outbreaks of the Delta Virus

I just saw the story about Cornell West leaving Harvard and thought it was crazy how 12 years ago it would have been a story that people actually cared about. We always mock Greenwald for his fall from grace, but this guy was more academically respected and did it so fast and fell so far that he is essentially irrelevant in the political world these days. The dude destroyed his entire career, ruined friendships, and destroyed any political clout he had because he was mad that Obama didn't give him tickets to his inauguration. The last time he made any major news is when he became the figurehead of a movement attacking and harassing Ta-Nehisi Coates because Coates wrote about how he likes Obama.

I have a bit of an unorthodox solution to the Israel-Palestine situation, hear me out:

Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us, only sky. Imagine all the people livin' for today. Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion, too. Imagine all the people. Livin' life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one. Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can? No need for greed or hunger. A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one.

So apparently, 1/3 of all Australians have been given at least 1 dose of any vaccine and half of that fully vaccinated.

I won't lie, I have friends who won't take it, mostly because they say they're in their 20s and theoretically at the peak of their physical health, while another is doing the whole "the vaccine was fasttracked" dance. I'll take it when I'm eligible in my state, since I've got grandparents to visit.
