There was some laughter and someone said this woman whom I will be calling Nailisi is the youngest (still working here longer than me) or Wun Wun was, and Elon is 23. I went downstairs for the presentation and free lunch. It was a while and there was one lady there who brought up how after Covid-19. The amount of Muslim “refugees” who came to the United States had increased dramatically. I was silently concerned with that. I had lunch alone mostly and went back upstairs to see the people setting up the new desks. I heard them playing music on their speakers upstairs. I did little before clocking out at 1:00pm and taking the bus to classes. I stopped by the convenience store in the busy building and bought a Mr. Goodyear bar and ate it. I went to see the Salvation Army girl and Pen Guy. Pen Guy joked that I only appear for like a minute at a time. I went to class with the printouts but forgot to write letters for the 2 in my group (Richie and Female Satoko Houjou fan). We could work outside and Richie just gave some punctuation errors to correct and some plot points. Richie was about a 16 year old kid in a wild west gang nearly getting spared but a pastor gets her out. Female Satoko Houjou fan came late and her stuff was generic feminist poetryslop. I asked Richie the denomination of the pastor, she had no real idea because she didn’t know not being raised religious, just her grandma complaining about a Christian school in her town being “the wrong denomination”, Richie also said it was partially inspired by the Johnny Cash song 25 Minutes To Go. We could leave early so I walked back and started hanging out with Pen Guy and his gang but briefly left them when they went into Asherah’s work building to walk to the library. I got back with them and joined up for 5 minutes before heading to class to pick up my test score. I went home and worked on the group project before the meeting. I found out my account on GitHub was flagged for no apparent reason. There was this convo about Bible study beforehand:
<Bible Study tonight!! 6:15pm at [building]! See ya then! - Magdalus
<Clench your butt's and pucker thoes lips cuz im bringing salsa - Elijah
<If anyone gets there early they can throw in a couple digornio pizzas too - Magdalus
<We can also eat those chips that's been sitting in that box by the pantery - Elijah
<Idk how shitoko it will be, so good luck - Elijah
<This is the LAST salvation history bible study before we start a new one! Don't miss it! - Madgalus
<Do you guys want me to throw some pizzas in for us? - Kaufman
I went over to Bible study and I remember doing the readings for these verses. Matthew 3:1-12:
☛1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea.
☛2 And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
☛3 For this is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
☛4 And the same John had his garment of camels' hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
☛5 Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the country about Jordan:
☛6 And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
☛7 And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
☛8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance.
☛9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
☛10 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire.
☛11 I indeed baptize you in the water unto penance, but he that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire.
☛12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
I noticed that Telemachus had a bible inscribed with his father’s name, I loved the shitoko green salsa Elijah brought. And then I read John 19:2-3:
☛2 And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple garment.
☛3 And they came to him, and said: Hail, king of the Jews; and they gave him blows.
Last one made me want to punch drywall. I texted the Iowa girl a bit and she was complaining about her lack of tech knowledge trying to use the laptop her roommates’ sister gave her. I went up to discipleship and did Lectio Divina for a bit. I left afterwards to abandon Sixes’ friend and Sixes. Lewis wasn’t there. I went home and messaged the Iowa city woman. I found her TikTok and she posted two videos about eating unhealthy food to piss off fatphobes, she said she considered filming herself eating food for money but her stomach can only handle “7 chicken nuggets” because in 2020 she got gastric bypass surgery due to hating being fat because mobility and it made her lose 70 pounds; (even though she has multiple TikToks complaining about people telling her to lose weight and that her massive breasts would go) however she said she has a low metabolism and also she had to get on brednisone because her body was shutting down and now she’s back up to 320lbs (her current weight). It’s a bit comedic and she ended up gaining back some more lost weight after losing her job on Thanksgiving. I hope she finds a job soon. I transcribed from July 16th, 2025 to July 31st, 2025. I finally took a shower and went to sleep.
