I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.
We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.
So a fun thing I’ve been finding out this week is how much long term care facilities rely on free assistance from the church.
John Brown didn’t give up on Kansas & I’ll be damned if I ever do.
solidarity with all marginalized people in Kansas.
you are not alone. together we are going to build the better world we all deserve.
In Vegas we've been following the story of a sick toucan who's been seen flying around town and it looks like they found the toucan and are taking care of him!
a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture
get weirder 🫵
Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car
I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head
Liberal elite...bro makes less than me and I'm a pastor at a church of 60 people
If you want to hear me swear a lot ask me about Gannett and their role in destroying local papers and/or John and Alan Block lol
My journalist spouse literally drive a Honda civic until it basically crumbled to dust 😭 now he's got a Hyundai close to doing the same. It's funny how many times he's been accused of being "the liberal elite."
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.
driving in the rain, at night, with astigmatism, in LAS VEGAS 🤩
Admittedly it is one of those "two nickles" situations where it's weird that there's two songs about being in love with a cheeseburger
My mom has gotten the songs "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "His Cheeseburger" confused and is trying to convince me that Jimmy Buffet was a writer on Veggie Tales
Coney dogs are actually from Michigan. Also the square pizza with the caramelized cheese on the edge is Detroit style and is the best pizza
"Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work."
No, that's not Karl Marx, thats the Sermon on the Mount
Read this in high school but missed the note that said everyone was supposed to be reading a specific abridged version. I had the full version and was getting a VERY different story
Vegas baby!
do not go piggly into that good wiggly
It KILLS me to see Trump attacking institutions of higher education and them capitulating. Especially seeing the attacks on Gender, Queer, and Women's studies since that what I ultimately graduated with
My life is richer, more colorful, more fun and interesting because of higher education!
I took so many neat classes in college and grad school. My education is priceless to me and improves my life every day. Everyone should have affordable access to higher education and it's value should not be tied to its usefulness in career training
Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college (im including seminary):
1. Ecology and Worship
2. Feminism and Visual Culture
3. Medieval Music Performance Practice
4. History of Queer Activism
5. Rabbinic Literature
i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.
5 mo old baby listening to a tonie box surrounded by toys
Introducing my baby to prokofiev
"it is right to give him thanks and praise" was always the funniest part of catholic mass to me. a bunch of people murmuring "retweet"
5 jobs I've had:
1. Pastor
2. Donut baker
3. Church pianist
4. Person who drives the free condom/std testing van for a sexual health non-profit
5. Bank teller
On the plus side I guess I can now make my own gallon of milk
Want to just get a two pack of Hanes t-shirt bras for $20 and a gallon of milk in 1 trip. This is no longer my reality. I took it for granted.
