That's pretty fucking funny actually.

Same but would be maybe better to not have it go all the way up

I used this advanced search tool (particularly the community impressions) to select a name appropriate to my language and culture with the vibe I'm going for. I selected 10 names I liked and had the five people closest to me vote on them. There was a clear winner.

Hear hear!

I actually really like this summary which goes through all the references in detail. It raises one great point in particular, even if you don't want to get into the linguistics of gender in Greek (which also disagree with you unfortunately). The only two named angels in the Bible are Michael and Gabriel, both of which are male. The rest of it is a fascinating look at angelology in the Bible though (which has been a big hobby of mine since converting to gnosticism. Its wild knowing more about the Bible now that the catholic church thinks I'm a witch). I actually found this while looking up the Matthew verse though which this breakdown implies doesn't mention gender but I would argue that it does. It says neither married nor given in marriage which is a distinctly gendered aspect in that cultural milieu. I do wonder if you're maybe thinking of similar figures from other religions such as the Nordic Valkyries or Islamic Houri.

I put together a website a while back:

I'd make more of an effort to distribute it if I was happier with it. in particular I think it needs simpler language.

my father is an engineer, government contractor, and Zionist. I wonder sometimes if the Palestinians are paying for my nursing degree right now.

Yeah but it's a -10 to have a panic attack if I don't wait the full cooldown period.

Oh for a lot of immigrants I do wind up resorting to folk music, and there's a lot of overlap with hymns and other spiritual music.

Oh that's actually a known phenomenon music is a different part of the brain from speech for some reason. Lemme get on the computer with a keyboard I've got a few more fun comments...

• Here's a ballerina getting activated like a fucking sleeper agent to the score from Swan Lake. I'd also like to comment that the way she's in the wheelchair and kinda slumped over to me suggests that the dementia has likely progressed enough that she's having trouble walking (it even affects muscle memory, eventually she may even forget how to swallow) so the fact that music can activate her muscle memory anyway is pretty cool.

• If you ever have a relative with dementia that requires caregivers that are not family or friends (nurses, home health aides, etc) please put together two music playlists for me (or spiritual me 😉):

  • one set of chill music I can play if I need them to relax for bedtime and stressful events
  • one more upbeat set of songs physical or recreation therapy can play if they need to get them up and out of bed.

If I don't know what songs they like I'll usually try whatever was popular in their demographic when they were 15-25y/o but that's never gonna beat knowing the exact song they danced to at their wedding.

Thnx for reading! <3

I mean a better analogy would be single / limited-use items considering it can't really be used after it comes out of the recipient. There's a different joke about capitalism in there somewhere but I'm getting sleepy so good night!
