"She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial." — Mark 14:8 Scripture is largely silent about this day — and perhaps that is the point.

When you spend 364 days a year working hard to navigate social cues, a holiday built on lying is just... exhausting. A joke that flags itself is fine; a joke designed to make someone feel "stupid" for trusting you is just mean. ​2️⃣ For my fellow Christians: Jesus was pretty clear in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:22) that calling someone a "fool" is a serious spiritual red flag.
