First Reading

In the first book, Theophilus,

I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught

until the day he was taken up,

after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit

to the apostles whom he had chosen.

He presented himself alive to them

by many proofs after he had suffered,

appearing to them during forty days

and speaking about the kingdom of God.

While meeting with them,

he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem,

but to wait for “the promise of the Father

about which you have heard me speak;

for John baptized with water,

but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

When they had gathered together they asked him,

“Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons

that the Father has established by his own authority.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,

and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,

throughout Judea and Samaria,

and to the ends of the earth.”

When he had said this, as they were looking on,

he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.

While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going,

suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.

They said, “Men of Galilee,

why are you standing there looking at the sky?

This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven

will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”

-Acts 1:1-11

Second Reading

Brothers and sisters,

I, a prisoner for the Lord,

urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received,

with all humility and gentleness, with patience,

bearing with one another through love,

striving to preserve the unity of the spirit

through the bond of peace:

one body and one Spirit,

as you were also called to the one hope of your call;

one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

one God and Father of all,

who is over all and through all and in all.

But grace was given to each of us

according to the measure of Christ's gift.

Therefore, it says:

He ascended on high and took prisoners captive;

he gave gifts to men.

What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended

into the lower regions of the earth?

The one who descended is also the one who ascended

far above all the heavens,

that he might fill all things.

And he gave some as apostles, others as prophets,

others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers,

to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry,

for building up the body of Christ,

until we all attain to the unity of faith

and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature to manhood,

to the extent of the full stature of Christ.

-Ephesians 4:1-13

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Go and teach all nations, says the Lord;

I am with you always, until the end of the world.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

-Matthew 28:19a, 20b

Gospel

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Go into the whole world

and proclaim the gospel to every creature.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved;

whoever does not believe will be condemned.

These signs will accompany those who believe:

in my name they will drive out demons,

they will speak new languages.

They will pick up serpents with their hands,

and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them.

They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them,

was taken up into heaven

and took his seat at the right hand of God.

But they went forth and preached everywhere,

while the Lord worked with them

and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.

-Mark 16:15-20

I hope you're all having a blessed Mother's Day! My mom's cats have been feuding for her love recently. One of them (he looks like ) has been spending a lot of time with her so the other (who looks like ) has decided to start hanging out with me to get back at her. He's been sleeping on my bed during the day and following me around when he's active. Last Thursday he even decided to wake me up at 4 AM to let him outside instead of my mother!

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kyrylo Budanov, the Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, has become involved in the Ukrainian nightmare unfolding at the Kharkov front.

Budanov is glowie

Budanov was one of the members of the elite Unit 2245 of the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate trained by CIA. The New York Times reports that Budanov gained a reputation for participating in bold operations behind enemy lines. In 2016, while still a lieutenant colonel, he reportedly led a special forces unit in an amphibious raid on Russian-occupied Crimea to plant explosives at an airfield. Budanov's unit was ambushed by a Russian commando unit after landing; the Ukrainian force killed several Russian soldiers before retreating to Ukrainian-controlled territory. According to The New York Times, Budanov was brought to the United States for treatment at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after being wounded in fighting in the Donbas.

Budanov tacts mb had worked in 2022 but now when Russian will enter a village they will deport everyone because they have intel that Kharkov citizens were trained to work as saboteurs. Most of Kharkov folks already left like the city that has now outgoing fights had 20k people then before the new attack started 3k so there will be like 1k or less left that will be just deported.

So his saboteur technics won't work now with Russian new tactics

I was browsing Erowid and stumbled across this little tidbit about the pharmaceutical, Pregabalin. Apparently, (according to this page) 4% of people report euphoria from taking the drug. I actually had this prescribed to me years ago and I didn't feel shit when I took it, anyone here lucky enough to have the recreational Pregabalin gene? If so wanna tell us what it's like? Experiences on Erowid say it's kinda like weed which is pretty interesting.

On that note I do wonder if there's any other obscure substances that only a small portion of the population can get high off of.

Letter, Lucy Westenra to Mina Murray

17, Chatham Street,

Wednesday.

My dearest Mina,—

"I must say you tax me very unfairly with being a bad correspondent. I wrote to you twice since we parted, and your last letter was only your second. Besides, I have nothing to tell you. There is really nothing to interest you. Town is very pleasant just now, and we go a good deal to picture-galleries and for walks and rides in the park. As to the tall, curly-haired man, I suppose it was the one who was with me at the last Pop. Some one has evidently been telling tales. That was Mr. Holmwood. He often comes to see us, and he and mamma get on very well together; they have so many things to talk about in common. We met some time ago a man that would just do for you, if you were not already engaged to Jonathan. He is an excellent parti, being handsome, well off, and of good birth. He is a doctor and really clever. Just fancy! He is only nine-and-twenty, and he has an immense lunatic asylum all under his own care. Mr. Holmwood introduced him to me, and he called here to see us, and often comes now. I think he is one of the most resolute men I ever saw, and yet the most calm. He seems absolutely imperturbable. I can fancy what a wonderful power he must have over his patients. He has a curious habit of looking one straight in the face, as if trying to read one's thoughts. He tries this on very much with me, but I flatter myself he has got a tough nut to crack. I know that from my glass. Do you ever try to read your own face? I do, and I can tell you it is not a bad study, and gives you more trouble than you can well fancy if you have never tried it. He says that I afford him a curious psychological study, and I humbly think I do. I do not, as you know, take sufficient interest in dress to be able to describe the new fashions. Dress is a bore. That is slang again, but never mind; Arthur says that every day. There, it is all out. Mina, we have told all our secrets to each other since we were children; we have slept together and eaten together, and laughed and cried together; and now, though I have spoken, I would like to speak more. Oh, Mina, couldn't you guess? I love him. I am blushing as I write, for although I think he loves me, he has not told me so in words. But oh, Mina, I love him; I love him; I love him! There, that does me good. I wish I were with you, dear, sitting by the fire undressing, as we used to sit; and I would try to tell you what I feel. I do not know how I am writing this even to you. I am afraid to stop, or I should tear up the letter, and I don't want to stop, for I do so want to tell you all. Let me hear from you at once, and tell me all that you think about it. Mina, I must stop. Good-night. Bless me in your prayers; and, Mina, pray for my happiness.

LUCY.

P.S.—I need not tell you this is a secret. Good-night again.

So, of course, all this “we beat the Russians, we did not lose a single position” after merely 24 hours of fighting in northern Kharkiv was far too early. Latest reports indicate Russian advances, the loss of Krasne and the battle that started for #Hlyboke around 14:00 today. pic.twitter.com/8xudPF8ZXN

I obviously already made fun of it:

https://rdrama.net/h/slavshit/post/268103/ukrainian-defense-forces-have-stabilised-situation

Julian jihad continues:

Ukrainian army bloggers now also admit, some forces surrendered to the Russians, some withdrew without permission and some positions had to be left due to “the strong pressure of the Russians”.

➡️What we see in northern Kharkiv is the beginning of Donbas 2.0.

➡️Costly, bloody, slow but steady Russian human and mechanized waves that cannot be stopped with the current strategy, number of people and arms in service.

➡️Ukraine needs more and better weapons plus mass mobilization of 250.000 soldiers NOW.
