APPETITE FOR ANTITHESIS: (DE)KNOWING GOD IN A LENTEN PRACTICE

I wrote a thing about #Lent, which begins tomorrow.
Oh, I forgot to take a picture and already washed my face, but I got my #ashes today. Happy #ashwednesday. I visited my alma mater today and attended mass at the interfaith center. For #Lent this year, I am going to commit to #volunteering, #demonstrating, #networking and #socializing more. The past few lents I've enjoyed making commitments rather than omissions.
For Lent, I have decided to give up the sin of letting the church be a safe space for racism and racists.

Instead of giving up something for #Lent, I want to do the reverse. I was thinking that learning the core basics of an #OpenSource project would be a good starting point (to get me in the habit of doing this). Just a question of which one?! 🤔
OMGG!! 😍. What a Stunning “Shrove Tuesday Sunrise” next to the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse in West Cork, Ireland to kick-start: ‘Pancake Day!’ 🤩🥰📸🌅🌊💡🏠✨❤️ #Sunrise #ShroveTuesday #PancakeTuesday #lent #sea #ocean #March #March2025 #Spring #SpringVibes #nature #NaturePhotography #mastodon #mastodaoine #mastodonart #art #landscape #landscapephotography #colour #colours #nikon #photo #photos #photographer #photography #photooftheday #WestCork #kinsale #Cork #WildAtlanticWay #Ireland
Another #boycott thought: in classical #Christian practice, Wednesdays and Fridays are days for #fasting. The fasting discipline of those days is extended for the 40 days of #Lent (excluding Sundays). So maybe, for Lent, we could observe a practice like today’s on every Wednesday and Friday for the season of Lent?
One thing to also consider is that #Easter is meant to be 50 days of feasting as a sort of counter-balance to Lent. So we’d need to figure out what that would look like.
2025 is a Year of Jubilee for Catholics, with special indulgences and a new call from #Pope Francis: fast from #socialmedia, alongside pilgrimages and charity. A religion scholar notes the pope sees the internet as a spiritual distraction:

Iemand een gouden ring kwijt geraakt (misschien in #Lent / #Nijmegen bij het maken van potgrond?) in het afgelopen halfjaar?
