To be clear: there are lots of good people who are devout Christians! I'm friends with some of them! But they're also the people who confront and wrestle with the problematic history of their faith, the same way that I wrestle with the fucked up things that have been done in the name of Judaism.

It is my considered moral stance that lying to get a vaccine that you should be eligible for and would be eligible for if we didn't have a bunch of vaccine denialists in major roles is always morally correct! Protect yourself and your community: get vaccinated!

I need work, preferably in the San Francisco Bay area. I'm an experienced graphic designer/art director. I can draw fairly competently. I write better than average and have written 2 professionally published books. Good storyteller, know some celebrity gossip. Not stupid I could break rocks, too.

A priest argues why it’s merciful to pray for Trump to die. One of the reasons he gives are the 14 million lives projected to be lost by Trump’s USAID cuts alone. When the priests are praying for Trump to die, it’s beyond over. I understand why the churches rang their bells for the protest in DC.

@cait.bsky.social I keep forgetting to show you the likeness of your son I got from a gachapan machine

Very real talk: the idea of a Donald Trump who is dying, who knows past the point of denial that he is dying, and who is in the White House for the first year of a term he does not believe should be his last is something that scares me shitless if I let myself think about it.

Your PE teacher and your English teacher are actually both hot dogs

Well that was fast, got an anti-restricting mailer already

Their whole strategy for totalitarian power consolidation is to provoke race riot and use it as a Reichstag fire moment where they can get away with declaring martial law. They keep trying and failing, and folks take it less and less seriously each time.

Sure

Me: Ugh, why am I dying of sweat after just walking around doing normal stuff Humidity: is 69% WELL NO WONDER

Vive la France, had quiche, salade verte, crème brûlée et Veuve for dinner, then forced my family to play pétanques with me. Pas mal pour Californie, quoi.

The Supreme Court has been illegitimate ever since it stopped the Florida recount in 2000.

Man, now I want carrot cake

Pretty accurate summation of that teaching, for sure.

When we hold cops to a higher standard than the public, we not only make the public safer, we make the cops safer. A sane cop (I know, oxymoron given their traumagenic employment environment) doesn’t want to be bad, they want to be perceived as upstanding, so we need to help them get there.

This thread made my den leader heart squee. This is why we do it.

@nogodsnomayors.com does this also mean that mayors is popes?!

riding the subway is the ultimate test of "minding your own business" and "existing near strangers" which is why the majority of americans fail completely

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

In case you need a timeline cleanse, here's a frog

@nogodsnomayors.com here's a nice chuckle for you all

This thread has made me feel lots better about my pitiful Spanish with some French mixed in. It's about the gesture, not the perfection of it.

Your regular reminder that "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" is an incoherent politics because once you decide you want a pluralistic, inclusive society for all, you realize things like schools, libraries, and health care cost money.

A group of trained rescue dogs opened for the Beastie Boys at the Bill Graham Civic in fall of 2004

THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED guys this is the biggest and most important data point this is EVERYTHING the pillars of the Synodal Way are forceful and aggressive clerical abuse reforms, women’s ordination, same-sex marriage, LGBTQ rights, etc. the old guard Vatican treated them like HERETICS
