We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back.
Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.”

A minister deciding that a fast has probably served its purpose and that it’s time to end it halfway through Lent? Nothing about this pierces me with the arrows of conviction, no not at all.
(Blessings on those who endure)

Why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard.
This sounds like somebody who grew up rich trying to imagine what poor people sound like.
We know how cash money works FAR BETTER than you do. You might know systems like stocks & IRAs & bonds & trust funds, but we do know cash money. We know SNAP doesn’t buy EVERYTHING at the grocery store.
Trust is a stranger more mysterious to this world today than fifteen years ago, and the church bears a unique measure of responsibility for that. We ought to be the mysterious stranger, but we’ve made ourselves the anxious owner, looking askance through the crack in the door.
While many agreed with Robertson, and heard their own wants reified by the televangelist’s advice, the contrast with what was expected from church teaching was enormous.
The *church* was expected to speak towards marital fidelity. Christians were supposed to be faithful along the hard way.
Getting really sick of this shit.
There is an eastern fox squirrel nest in the tree right next to the great blue heron rookery, and it’s all just the greatest.
holy shit
The 2025-26 Buffalo Sabres are the greatest team in the history of sports
This knowledge that Michael Shannon fronts a touring REM cover band has left me amazed; I want special releases of his acting works incorporating it. James Garfield singing Cuyahoga softly to himself. Jessica Chastain entering the Take Shelter storm cellar to find guitars and sound gear.
You should definitely keep trying this. You somehow got a 2nd thrown in with the first go round; you have powers!
Are the front offices reading your posts?
USAID managed funding of 35.4bn in 2024
Was originally a normal 7pm game too. So they'll move a game hours to the middle of a Monday afternoon when half the fans can't go for a better tv schedule in Europe, but they won't stagger start times by 15min for viewers here.
The lack of extensive, limiting nuance in such passages in scripture is part of the scripture.

What’s up squirrel butt
Starlings, blue jays, mourning doves, cardinals, white-throated sparrows, a song sparrow, eastern towhee, robins, juncos, and loads of grackles strutting all over the place. A bird feeder is a good lens onto the world.

This is really good. Both at precisely naming many of the problems with the usa men’s hockey team this week, and at conveying honest responses to those issues from women professionally enmeshed in hockey (including men’s). Lots of nodding along to the first, and a clarifying listen with the second.
Firefox ai updates rolling out now. Easiest settings choice ever (and glad it is so easy to make this choice).
Sen. Marsha Blackburn just now.
Pray for God’s mercy, however thunderously it may arrive.
2010 was my most fun Olympics when Miller *almost* did what Hellebuyck did, and he was Buffalo’s goalie.
*Addendum* the one real joy of the game was Connor Hellebuyck winning and Jordan Binnington losing.
Watching Binnington lose is a pillar of 2020s hockey enjoyment.
If you threaten to kill one person that’s a TOS violation. If you threaten to kill a million people that’s discourse.
Universal depravity sure, but you Father in heaven causes snow to fall on both the evil and the good, and causes classes to be canceled for the righteous and the unrighteous alike. Praise be.
