It was last Thanksgiving Day 2024 I learned I had been forcibly impregnated by our pastor. I was not lawfully allowed to terminate my pregnancy in our state, and our community would never allow me anyway. Four weeks later, in the middle of the night I got in my car and began driving north.

I once told our Pastor in conversation about our music director "she is really struggling with perimenopause this week. She just needs the weekend off." Him, rolling his eyes: "Perimenopause? Heaven help us. why are women always coming up with new names for every little ache they get?"

The Conjuring and Hereditary

What is IVF these days? Like $25K a pop or something? Kind of a brilliant song choice. "It's going to take money, A whole lot of spending money It's going to take plenty of money to do it right child"

A certain orange douchenugget just watched Oppenheimer

I had a fun witchy movie night with @saoirsethefirst.bsky.social last night, watching Hocus Pocus, Hocus Pocus 2, and Practical Magic. It did calm me for a while. But I woke up full of piss and vinegar ready to battle MAGA nitwits on their systemic starvation plans for the poor again

And for the "end government waste" crowd, here's a fact that will be poop in your Cheerios: SNAP is one of the most efficient government programs there is. For every 1 dollar in benefits distributed, it generates $1.80 in economic development

I will never understand the logic of a working class person carrying the water for billionaires and politicians by beating up and ostracizing those who need government assistance for things like food and energy bills.

Three things: 1. Nobody is "filling up their cart with Doritos and Oreos and paying with SNAP" 2. Who the fuck are you to tell people what to eat? 3. If taunting people who have less makes you feel like a "good Christian", then God bless. Enjoy your miserable fucking existence on this planet

Last night, as part of our spooky season viewing, we watched “something wicked this way comes“ (1983) and “Coraline“ (009). Coraline was delightful! I gave it 5-stars… Absolutely loved it. Something Wicked was OK. Slow start, strong sucking act. Creepy AF, but enjoyable. 3- stars. #filmsky

Backdraft

Did community trick-or-treat with @saoirsethefirst.bsky.social and my nephew today. I've lived in this town for 10 months. I had no idea how many cute coffee shops, bookstores, and smoothie shops our town village has! Totally different perspective on foot walking around, and not just driving through

I just watched Weapons. Holy shit! I don’t give many f5– star reviews, especially to horror movies. But this was my kind of horror movie! About as flawless as a movie you can get. #filmsky

Every week I lead an interfaith support group for teenagers and young adults trying to navigate their sexuality and faith, and let's be honest this fucked up world. I bring donuts, candy, and coffee. They talk. I listen. Sometimes I offer guidance and advice. It's a good gig.

God is love and cannot, by definition, hate, and a world without love would be unlivable, so... if you push me... the latter (in the sense that discovering love is without meaning would be truly devastating).

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday. My film exploration journey has slowed a bit as I am streaming some shows and starting to have a romantic life. I'll let you decide which of these I watched while nannying 🤣 #filmsky

So the Louvre got robbed and I still need a manager to unlock the deodorant cabinet at CVS? OK 😒

A Day Without Rain - Enya Soaking in a warm fragrant bath bomb, a glass of red wine in hand, immersed in warm candlelight, and listening to this album start to finish = my zen #selfcare

One thing I cannot STAND is food shaming / nutrition shaming of parents. I used to live in a community with quite a few struggling financially. I would meet with young moms coming to the church for assistance. They would shame over what they could give their families.

I've been feeling this one lately. A movie that just screams autumn and cozy sweaters. And reminds me of a simrr timrwhen a leading man didn't have to look like an Evans or Hemsworth but could be a Crystal

Having spent the last 15 years in a southern "Christ is King" town where the practice of Halloween was discouraged, and now living in their northeast town where every single house has skeletons, goblins, zombies, etc. on their lawns really is something. But I am loving Halloween here!

My favorite thing about the nights I babysit my nephew is bedtime story time. Makes me want to have littles again! Love the Mo Willems books! The Elephant and Piggie books are always a crowd pleaser! #booksky #readingrainbow #momsky #parentsky

Without saying Top Secret!, fav Val Kilmer FIlm? At First Sight

Moulin Rouge!

She Used To Be Mine - Sara Bareilles youtu.be/53GIADHxVzM?...

Don't worry, I am a nice vampiress. I always have sour patch kids and tootsie pops in my bag, so I come with treats

Thoughts during these movies: I Like Me: "What a gentle soul this guy was." Splash: "Whoa! Very naked Daryl Hannah bum bum." Belfast: "I need to talk to my father. I had no idea." Beetlejuice: "I'd live in this house." #filmsky #nowwatching

Drop some Masks Not even sure why, but first movie thing that came to mind with "masks" was "What would happen if I rip that mask from your face?" "It would be extremely painful."

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Here's my #LastFourWatched. It was a good movie watching week. All 4 of these were good to very good. #filmsky

Okay, so I LOVED Beetlejuice! Adam and Barbara are the cutest hetero couple ever on film, exhibiting healthy couple goals all over the place. Meanwhile, you've got Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder at the top of their games. And Catherine O'Hara! #filmsky 🎥

It was a chilly autumn day, hustling around campus all day. Good evening to make chicken and gravy with mashed potatoes #homecooking

When I see a studio planning to spend millions of dollars to make a live action adaptation for a cartoon of our grandparents' generation, I start to think maybe there are too many movies and too few ideas 📽️ 🎥 #filmsky #moviesky

Jaws. It was at a makeshift drive-in at our local fairgrounds during pandemic, but still counts I think

A good list for deconstructing exvangelicals too! This is my first Halloween since leaving the evangelical community, and I've been eagerly exploring horror that was always forbidden. BUT, I have found at least for me- I need to take baby steps! I've watched a few of these, and they're great!

The storm is finally gone. Went for a run this morning, and the cool crisp air and the early sunrise trying to shine through the thick ground fog was glorious. And it seems like some of the leaves managed to pop into autumnal glory during the storm Happy Hump Day everyone!

Good morning everyone, wishing you a great Tuesday *smiles* TFTD: Those of you that know me also know I don't like labels because most don't fit me, but because society uses them to put us into boxes instead of letting us be individuals. Break the mould, if you don't like a label, don't wear it...

Today I watched The Miseducation of Cameron Post. This drama about the prisoners in and operations at an LGBTQ conversion therapy center was generally a good movie. But I just found Chloe Grace Moretz kind of boring so that was disappointing. 3.5/5⭐️ #filmskyf

#octoberbestofcareerperformances 10/13 - Pedro Pascal - Comedy Materialists (2025e) #bestofcareerperformances #octobermoviechallenge #moviesky #actorsky #filmsky #directorsky

When drought in New England breaks, it breaks in a big way!

Diane Keaton's "There is something about motherhood I want you girls to understand" monologue in Because I Said So is probably the most accurate statement about motherhood I've seen in film, and she crushed it #RIPDianeKeaton #filmsky

Not so fun fact: my 12 year old daughter was suspended from school from having this county-wide banned book in her possession and reading it quietly at school. That was the beginning of the process to send my daughters to live with their aunt in Massachusetts. And I love the movie!

Wishing my Canadian friends are happy and blessed Thanksgiving. These are trying and often depressing times. Taking the time to gather with loved ones to break bread and share in the wine of life has never been more important.

Monica is of legal age of consent, and isn't biologically related to him, so I doubt President Trump would be interested and take the bait

Today is #NationalComingOutDay. It was only recently I was in a position when I could safely come out as gay. As a youth minister in a conservative evangelical church, hiding this secret inside of me was hell. When the time is right for you, you will know. It is never too later

Good morning everyone, wishing you a super Saturday *smiles* Today’s thought: Be proud of you, no one knows what you have been through and yet here you are, still living life the best you can !!

Can somebody tell RFK Jr. (The top medical mind of our time) that the fetus doesn't develop inside the placenta? And nobody "gobbles up" Tylenol. Thank you.

As a rule of thumb, people who blow civilian fishing vessels out of the water in international waters, turn their nation's military against their own people to suppress democracy, and threaten to invade countries like Greenland for no reason at all generally don't win Nobel Peace Prizes
