"17 hours in and I’m only a third of the way done.
But I like how this is painting the picture of a world succumbing to a pandemic slowly and purposefully. So many post-apocalyptic stories leave things to the imagination. Sometimes I just want the entire story written out for me, and this is just that." — May 27, 2025 11:08AM

“If you keep silent, keep silent by love: if you speak, speak by love; if you correct, correct by love; if you pardon, pardon by love; let love be rooted in you, and from the root nothing but good can grow.
Love and do what you will.
Love endures in adversity, is moderate in prosperity; brave under harsh sufferings, cheerful in good works; utterly reliable in temptation, utterly open-handed in hospitality; as happy as can be among true brothers and sisters, as patient as you can get among the false one's.
The soul of the scriptures, the force of prophecy, the saving power of the sacraments, the fruit of faith, the wealth of the poor, the life of the dying.
Love is all.”
