To Boldly Go Where It's Bigger on the Inside

It seems the congregation needs a more serious punishment😏

Toronto is not a wildfire-prone area. It is extremely close to the USA border, and the smog is currently affecting NY right now. There is literal chunks of debris in the air. The sky is orange, and the sun is nowhere to be seen.

Climate change and its effects are right outside your door. Data centres are the cause for the insane heat waves across the globe, and the increase in wildfires and other natural disasters.

You will watch recordings of the world burn around you, and only when you are behind the camera will you realize there is no going back.

And my brother and I started saying that all the time, in a specific weird high pitched voice, with a British accent, and we'd drag out the "I" unnecessarily... like, if I was going to say, "I'm going to ride my bike" I'd be like, "Prince Philip and IIIIIII... am going to ride my bike."

My then boyfriend and his younger brother both lost their minds over it while I just sat at the dinner table confused. Sure, im always pale but, jaundiced?? This woman used to be a registered nurse!

Anyway, from that point on, the younger brother at random, anytime the in-law said something dumb (which was often) would reply with "Kero I think you have JAUNDICE."

The entire phrase was spoken mockingly but the emphasis on the word 'jaundice' always had so much venom and rasp to it. It became a household meme, and to this day, some 10 years later, I have an impulsive laugh whenever I hear the term 'jaundice' and MUST reply with that phrase.

A few years ago, I went to Florida with my friends, and we went to Universal, and we were waiting in line for a ride and there was a mother and child behind us, and the kid was getting more and more nervous as we got closer to the front, and he was giving all these random reasons they should get out of the line... they also happened to be British, and when we were almost to the front, the kid suddenly tells his mom he has to poop and if they go on the ride, he'll poop his pants. The mom was like, "I asked you before we got in line if you needed the bathroom and you said no" and the kids goes, "I didn't have to go then, but I have to go now. It's how the body works!" But he said the last part so emphatically, in this British accent, and it was all I could do to not burst out laughing... I think they got out of the line (I can't remember), but my friends and I still always say, "it's how the body works!" In a British accent 🤣

I thought it was a smooth conversational transition. It was not.

Suggestion :

Mummy Holmes had a friend who was a famous professional photographer. When the Holmes brothers were children, they went to that man's house every year with their parents for a photoshoot.

Mycroft became Sherlock's legal guardian when the latter was fourteen, after their parents' death. Mycroft still took Sherlock to a family photography session at that man's house every year, even if it was just the two of them now.

The annual family portrait tradition continues even after both brothers have become adults. However, at some point while Sherlock is in his thirties, the photographer passes away.

There was one episode with a trans woman getting different gender-affirming operations, including breast implants. It showed the procedure, and (what I found so fascinating that it's stuck with me for decades), as soon as the doctor put the implant in, a censor blur popped up on the nipple.

And you just know there was a meeting between the TLC lawyers and the editors and producers of the show to discuss what the difference was between a "man nipple" (can be shown) and a "woman nipple" (no no must obscure, 'tis naughty). And they decided that as soon as the implant goes in and the nipple has more mass behind it, that's the moment when it becomes a woman's nipple and must be hidden to comply with TV rules.

But it's the same nipple. On the same person. I know what it looks like; I just saw it. But TV and obscenity rules are rules, and the rules say woman nipple = sexual and therefore explicit, but man nipple = neutral, just fine.
