The ghosts we really need this Christmas Eve

Happy surviving time eating tons of food with people you may or may not like spending time with day

Interesting read.

Their philosophy literally was 'if a child isn't perfectly and immediately obedient, then physically hurt the child; if that doesn't work, then physically hurt them harder.' And most of them still think that's the superior way to approach things.

Thank you, veterans!

I had a nice day except I got listless and fatigued in the middle of the afternoon. Right about an hour after taking my (usually dinner time) meds with lunch. And I've been wondering why I keep getting listless and fatigued too early in the evening... 🤦‍♀️

I cannot recommend this book enough, especially for those who have never been taught about varying atonement theory and have only been taught penal substitutionary atonement as if it's fact and gospel - the way I was.

Happy Halloween!

Mr. Rogers during his last broadcast: "I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are."

Respect to those who got here first.

I'm at the Florence Festival of Books in beautiful Florence, Oregon today. Come down if you have a chance!

I woke up three or four hours before my alarm. Never did manage to fall back asleep. Today is going to be fun 😵‍💫

Yeah I could go for a nice coma right about now

The reason you don’t see any time travelers around is because they’re all in 1997 eating kudos bars and drinking sobe and listening to Natalie Imbruglia

It can’t be true if we hide it from you.

Last night's dream can best be described as ancient Greek gods set as a Disney tween sitcom.

You can’t hurt me, you’re not a beloved children’s movie from the 80s

Hey seasonal depression you can relax, we got this covered this year

Peter Pan: think happy thoughts! Me: oh okay Peter: couldn't be easier! Me: right Peter: just like any happy thought Me:... Peter: ... Me: I'll just Uber

I grew up highly conservative in a completely terror-based belief system (everything revolved around the threat of hell constantly hanging over my head, 'god' was an uncaring and unfeeling entity of judgement just waiting for me to screw up so he could condemn me). (See comments.)

What's your favorite genre to read?

Well, today was a pure ball of Sparkling Chaos™️

I woke up at almost 2am. Never managed to fall back asleep. Fun times...

Broken people think the best way to influence the behaviors of others is through intimidation, fear, controlling behaviors, and pain. How much have we projected that tendency onto our understanding of God and our interpretation of the Bible?

I'm excited to be back at the Florence Festival of Books! www.cybishop.com/blog/2025-fl...

It should be against the rules for YouTube videos to claim that a certain band or artist is in the song when it turns out to just be an AI of them. It's the same as false advertising; they are blatantly lying to trick people into watching their fake, trash videos.

The same people lecturing us that representation shouldn't matter, are crashing out over a logo.

I woke up at 1:30 this morning, stretched my arm over my head, and promptly pinched a nerve in my shoulder. My wonderful husband massaged the worst of it out, but I'm still stiff and achy today. Getting old is not for weaklings.

It's my 20th anniversary with the most amazing husband I could have ever asked for. 💜

We finally watched KPop Demon Hunters. Oh my word, so freaking good!

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.” - me psyching myself up to make a two-minute phone call

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them. Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

Happy Don't Be A Dick Day, to all who celebrate. dontbeadickday.com

I started weight watchers about a year ago. After some time on a plateau, today I reached the 50 pounds lost milestone. That's almost 90 pounds down from my heaviest weight!

Happy Independence Day! May we all reflect on what this day truly represents.

Where my 'hold the page so I can come back if this turns out to be a bad choice' peeps? Just me?

ME: one coffee please CASHIER: what size? ME: load bearing

Happy pride month!

No one is better at explaining things than @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. Wishing you all a wonderful and MEANINGFUL Juneteenth! 🖤

It's Juneteenth. Here's @levarburton.bsky.social reading Lift Every Voice and Sing. #BlackLivesMatter youtu.be/GNEPwwv56DY

Happy Pride Month from the 'A' 😉

I can't shake the constant tired.

Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. 🇺🇸 #SomberMemorialDay

Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate!

Reducing the gospel to a individual get out of eternal jail free card has landed us where we find ourselves today. I mean, who doesn't want a card like this? A pretty sweet deal. This gospel message, however, requires ignoring most of the Bible except for a few verses cherry picked out of context.

I make jewelry! Today I made a pair of minimalist Winnie the Pooh earrings. 😁

"But can I really be sure I'm neurodivergent?" she asked as she prepared the exact same lunch she's eaten for three months straight.

Happy perfect date!

I've set the bar low for myself with a goal of just 200 words written a day on my writing days. It's been helping me with motivation quite a bit. Today, I wrote over 800 words. 😍
