To my theologian, clergy, a religiously-curious friends this Pride: Queer folks have a lot more to offer than just apologetics.

The retainer wire behind my bottom teeth popped out today and I'm feeling the back of those teeth for the first time since like... high school. This is really weird.

America came out of me too and made a rapist President

Do men need a language of worth empowerment and identity? Absolutely But a man’s sense of self is not greater than a woman’s actual life Read it again

Analyze THIS, Jung

Watched Crimson Tide last night, and it was good, but I maintain that Hunt for Red October remains the superior nuclear submarine movie

Hot take from a non-parent: Make an active effort to keep your childless friends in your life.

Realized that while my partner and I both love electronic music, his preferences are more Bouba and mine are more Kiki

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

are you saying the united states military cannot invent something as simple as a pronoun gun? I thought this was the land of innovation

Celebrating World Goth Day by cat sitting and enjoying a cold beverage

Woooow I just checked LinkedIn and I have a friend request from someone I used to know on FB, whom I'd never met in person but who was so hostile to religion anything that they'd go on my posts speaking positively about church or something just to shit on it all.

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

I'm so bad at ballet and it's the highlight of my week

The death of google makes my ideal job more possible, going through countless paper archives to find the one obscure detail that cracks this case wide open

God, it's so annoying to see posts from people talking about how awesome he was when he literally used his dying breath to go after trans people, a continuation of decades of being an antagonist.

I feel extremely Paul Revere rn because I need everyone to know that Shein bought Everlane

Me: "You know, Trump said if you didn't vote for him, there'd be taco trucks on every corner. But he's won twice and I still see taco trucks on every corner!" Partner: "Alhamdullilah. 😌"

her name was juniper blessing.

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

Redefining Ageism to mean "acknowledging that old people lose their faculties and sometimes suddenly die" has been the biggest con of the last 50 years.

Went to see Faetooth last night with a friend and the best ways I can describe it were my friend's review of "I liked the droning" and the moment where I leaned over to them and yelled "I love feral women!!"

I don’t think think this movie will create a new sexual orientation but whatever your sexual orientation is it will be doubled after you see it

If anyone's curious what my partner is like, he just said "I am a consultant" in Mandarin and then sprinted to the other end of the apartment

Since phones know so much about us, I'd love a feature that tells you if you're about to call someone at an ungodly hour so you can decide if you actually, you know, want to do that. This thought was brought to you by accidentally calling people at 3 AM in the Philippines twice.

Them: you have to take this pill for the rest of your life! Me: yes, but I will have the rest of my life

I pray the tomb is shut forever. I pray the rock is never rolled away. I pray that which was buried remains buried, insensate, in perpetual rest with closed eye and stilled brain. I pray it lives, I pray it sleeps.

Someone help me pick an evening bag for this upcoming thing I'm doing plz (all are on Poshmark)

World-famous atheist abandons all reason and dives head first into superstition because he told himself it was a girl who thinks he’s smart.

the correct answer for literally almost everyone alive now: die

Saw a meme about someone celebrating the second amendment at a dinner to celebrate the first, then I googled the third amendment and oh boy the military has the opportunity to do something really funny right now

Seeing @notalawyer.bsky.social's actual face made me realize that I've just been picturing him as Joe Pesci this whole time

Shoulda used a pic of Cal Raleigh

In contrast, joy gets under their skin. They cannot stand a happy person who they believe should be miserable.

Calling for a general strike is cool but where are the people organizing to feed and provide childcare for striking workers, mutual aid so utility bills, rent, mortgages, etc don't go unpaid during a strike? No really, where are they? because those are the folks I want to organize with.

We have a guy who's a real capital-C Character. The first sentence of his Wikipedia page says "disbarred lawyer." He insisted on sharing no family contact info even though he has family involved in his planning. In my assessment I said his coping mechanisms included both acceptance and denial.

No one told me that sometimes hospice means coming home smelling faintly like someone else's stale piss because you sat in the wrong chair

that is conservative "freedom" alright, I get to do what I want, and you also get to do what *I* want, or else bsky.app/profile/paul...

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

nobody has ever looked at an old broad with loads of tattoos and thought anything other than "heh, hell yeah dude"

Sometimes I wish I could just upload Korean and Tagalog and Amharic directly into my brain along with Spanish. I feel like being multilingual would make sooooo much of my work life easier.

(why yes, I'm sure it's not good for marketing to inform patients that they have a right to revoke hospice) (unfortunately, I believe more strongly in patient rights and getting them the care most appropriate for them than I do in making things easy for the marketing team)

Also forgive me but it's gonna take a while for me to get used to the new Prime Minister of Hungary is basically named "Pete Hungarian" But it's OK, I'll be fine, I got used to Russia being ruled by Joe Steel for decades, I can get used to this

Ryan's walking the walk every day. ✊

I thought about this at the retreat last weekend. Death should have no sting, not just because of a promise of God's kingdom (whatever that might be or not be). I can live into the miracle of salvation now. I can be broken open by transformative love for all people and all creation.

UNDEAD UNDEAD UNDEAD ✊

Somehow I didn't collapse during ballet 💪

Kind of amazed that yesterday I did an hour and a half of ballet and danced my ass off, and just a few hours later danced my ass off *again* at a friend's party. And later today I'm going back to ballet??

The world is worse than I'd imagined and also my personal life is so much better than I'd imagined. I sit with that tension all the time.
