I had my first close encounter with the prosperity Gospel. Absolutely frightening and the least Christlike teaching I’ve seen that dresses itself in sheep’s clothing.

Recommend saving this and using it wherever possible.

Currently a graph of market trends going around that’s displaying it on a logarithmic scale in order to disguise the current drop and emphasize previous drops.

Feeling the weight of it all right now. So let’s instead talk about Pokemon. Recently bought and finished Scarlet, first time playing one of the series in years. What a blast. Nicknamed all my mons this time too.

Trump says that more people will buy American cars due to tariffs. Except more of my Honda was made in the US than just about any American car would be. Surprise - he’s out of touch. Who knew?

Its very simple. If non citizens do not have due process, then nobody has due process. If you have no due process to prove your citizenship, then you do not have it at all, and are just as susceptible to being "disappeared" as they are.

I’m so tired of being resilient.

Chuck Schumer is a weakling. Replace him as minority leader. Primary him.

I am SO SICK of the modern Democratic Party. Spineless. Soft. A party, with a few exceptions, full of Neville Chamberlains and self-important buffoons who can’t stand in line against a threat. Who attack e/o because an ally falls short of an ideal even though the opposition is worse in all ways.

So Flashes… use same account or separate account? Seems neat, feels a little dissonant though.

Found on insta. Subvert it. Report issues with accessibility of school grounds and learning. IEP issues. Section 504 issues. Go to town.

DEI isn’t an entitlement. Entitlement is Sec. Hegseth firing a highly qualified woman for a less qualified white man. DEI is not rejecting a resume just because it has what someone perceives to be an ethnic name on it.

REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

If anyone in your circle has a disability or chronic condition, ask them how awful the experience is getting what they need. Vast majority of the time you’ll hear about issues with the diagnosis, getting treatment, or both. Until you have to do it you don’t know. And it’s not getting better.

People who keep telling me they don’t want to make things political don’t understand how much of just trying to live is politics. Especially when navigating the healthcare system. It’s an excuse to avoid having to think critically. More people need a platform to share their stories about this.

Your 'leverage as a consumer' is really quite limited when you absolutely must take a drug in order to not die. Whether this is insulin for type 1 diabetes, thryoid hormone replacement or ARVs for HIV. We're not talking coffee mugs or pickup trucks here

So what’s the DuckDuckGo of email for those wanting to migrate away from Google services?

A big middle finger to Apple Maps.

My feed on here ends up talking about some stressful subjects. And that’s fine, there’s a lot of important stuff going on. But does anyone want to talk about the Pokémon trading card game on the side?

The least humane religionists are often those who've shelved their Bibles or Qurans. Christianity Today's editor-in-chief warns that US evangelical Christianity is lurching so far to the right that it's considering Jesus' teachings "weak." How can a Christian eschew Christ himself?

I wrote about how Doge is involved in cutting cancer research www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

Eliminating the penny is a good idea. It was also a good idea over a decade ago when President Obama wanted to do it. If it was as easy as ordering the treasury, it would be done. But it’s not. Because obstructionist GOPers quashed it.

Every now and again I get crap in the mail from Hillsdale “College”. This one had a postage paid envelope included. Can’t wait for them to receive their ripped-up brochure.

I’ve read a few leadership development books in my time. I figured I’d throw my hat in the ring. Here we go. (1/?)

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

My oldest child uses an AAC device for communication due to her severe muscular disability. Just learned that Carl the Collector will soon feature a character who speaks with an AAC - voiced by someone who uses an AAC in real life. I love this. She will too.

DO NOT let your senators alone until they comment on the gross violation of privacy Musk and DOGE have enacted.

Today I called my senators about the breach of our non-public personal information by Musk and his team. How about you all!?

I know that a goal like “I’ll read X books this year” doesn’t work for me. So I made a bingo card with selections from my TBR shelf. Feels like something that will work for me. But I still just can’t carve out reading time. Help. #booksky

Shadow cabinet when?

Canadas eggs are much less expensive than US eggs.

Trump’s EO about gender also erased males. It references sex characteristics at conception, but at conception, mammalian embryos are considered female. Male traits don’t emerge until weeks later. So, time to go get my license changed! We’re all women now.

The House is going to vote on Resolution 59, which will condemn the message of peace Bishop Budde preached. Imagine a bunch of proclaimed “Christians” asserting a message of peace and mercy is distorted. And yet here we are.

PLEASE call your senators and encourage them to vote NO on RFK. The man barely had a grasp of the issues in his hearing. He was inarticulate. He was dishonest - saying under oath that he didn’t say things that are well-documented. Step up.

Sign to support Bishop Budde.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Blaming DEI is code for blaming women and minorities.

Someone who was lamenting that people don’t read the Bible was also completely surprised that the lineage of Jesus as stated in the Gospel contains adultery and multiple instances of abuse and assault. Maybe that person read it. They sure didn’t understand it.

Here is a call script to urge your Congress members to act against President Trump’s actions potentially violating the Impoundment Control Act: Hello, [Representative/Senator’s Name],

We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts. @democracydocket.com's 16-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to. Support their work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

The saga continues today. I get a call about my old med - not the new one. My provider messages me asking which pharmacy, when I already told them. Also, my insurer also OWNS the provider’s health network. I swear to god I’m logging my time and sending a bill to the insurer.

After filling with a particular specialty pharmacy for several years because insurance said we HAD to, my new med is to be filled by a different one. Was never informed. The way I found out was the regular one kept getting rejections for being the wrong pharmacy. 1/?

This system where you need prior authorizations to *continue getting* a medicine you’ve been on long-term for a condition that *does not go away* is moronic at best.

Anyone who thinks that minister owes any sort of apology is so far gone I don’t even know what to say.

Late January into February is always the worst part of winter. Would cope with a book but can’t find the motivation to read. Do brains come with a reset button?

Until a couple months ago, I didn’t realize how much I missed having a competitive in-person game as part of my hobbies. I freely admit. I’m 39. And I play the Pokémon TCG.
