WhatsApp, Instagram & Facebook... All are down for most of the users worldwide.

Thinking about Facebook's monopoly over our communication preferences makes me perturbed about a lot of things.

How many of you share this concern of mine?

They don’t have a Monopoly. You have ample alternative options.

I don’t use any of these applications.

Signal, Google, Apple, Chime, Zoom, Slack, Telegram, among others. I can also just call/text if I needed to get a hold of someone directly.

You can still text or call through your regular phone line.

The day all forms of communications cut off and not come back, I would be worried, if not chitting myself.

Hi all, wanted to share a couple things that have been real blessings to me and boosters to my faith lately in case they are helpful for anyone else: 1) CBSM - it’s a 4-year course that takes you though the whole Bible. Im in year 2 and love it. 2) Pints with Aquinas podcast. He has both long form/interview podcasts and also very short Bible study podcasts where he analyzes a verse or two and provides Aquinas’ view on it. If you have things that’ve helped your faith lately, I’d love to hear ‘em!

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.
