"Jesus tried to change people by loving and healing them. His harshest words of judgement were reserved for those who perpetuated systems of inequality and oppression and who, through religion, thought they were sinless and untouchable."
~Richard Rohr
"If I had a dollar for every man who found me unattractive, they would eventually find me attractive."
The irony of peace is that you have to constantly fight for it, but for the fight to be effective, you have to fight for the peace of others and not yourself.
If you want free religion, you can't hate Christianity.
Stand up to those who behave badly.
If you want equality, you can't hate all men.
Stand up to those who behave badly.
If you want a safe government, you can't support anarchy.
Stand up to those who behave badly.
It's people, not systems.
This post is 10 year old, and I can't decide if it aged well or poorly.
Lookit what I did today!!
8 quarts of lemon chicken orzo soup with spinach and mushrooms - made entirely from scratch, including the stock (except I did use a rotisserie chicken).
This from someone whose signature dish, just three years ago was something we affectionately called "Glop". 🤣
I have a hard time believing that they are genuinely sorry, and not just saying that because they got called out.

U.S. CEOs:
"Money is the most important thing in the entire world. It's so essential to life that were going to build our entire society around money as a motivator."
U.S. Workers:
"Awesome! So if you want us to work for you and do a good job, pay a liveable wage."

Random Thoughts My Brain Has At 6am When I'm 11 Hours Into A 12-Hour Solo Night Shift:
"Inside you, there are two wolves. One is mentally ill. The other is autistic. Neither one has any fucking clue what's going on."
I just had a conversation with someone who clings to the right because he genuinely believes that the economy is our primary concern and that humanitarian issues for minorities and marginalized populations aren't important because it doesn't align with the original intentions of the country.

"Religion and science are opposed to one another in the sense that the thumb and fingers of my hands are opposed to one another. It is an opposition by means of which anything can be grasped."

Between the AI commercials, Kendall Jenner, singing toilets and hairballs, and using Backstreet Boys to promote crypto, we're definitely in our Bread and Circuses phase, only we've been reduced to saltines and kazoos.
This is the first time I'm hearing of this. Unfortunately, I'll be at work, but this is such a great idea!!!!
I'm glad the Super Bowl didn't bow down to Trump's and Republicans' racism and hate.

Apparently, some dudes are gonna be playing football during the intermission of the Green Day/Bad Bunny concert tonight.
Sounds like a good time to read a book.
It shouldn't have to happen to you, or people who look like you, for it to matter to you.

Why does so much Indie music sound like it was recorded in a giant tin can with all the mic stands set about 10 feet away??
I like the way you think!
Why would any man pretend to be a trans woman and put themselves through social ostracization and potentially dangerous life altering medical procedures in order to assault women and children, when it's so much simpler to just run for office?
I saw where one critic said that if the movie was shown on a plane, people would still walk out.
I'm from NW Ohio, myself.
I'm just amazed at the audacity of ICE to think Dayton would be any easier a target than Minneapolis. People underestimate the feral nature of the Buckeye state. 🤣
Trust me, the view is the same from the inside.
Many of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield have nothing to return to, even if it were safe for them.
This country could extend TPS, but even if they don't, immigrants deserve due process.
ICE has shown that they cannot be trusted to adhere to the law.
Springfield and Dayton need to step up.
Yes, the TPS for the Haitians is temporary, but you'd have to be an idiot to not realize that the decision to not extend it is a Republican attempt at a power move.
These people came here legally. This country chose to offer them protection. This country can choose to extend that protection.
I saw that!!! 😭😭😭😭
I have a beef with my fellow white people
Yesterday, I saw a white person say, "This is not the America I grew up in."
Well, guess what? This IS the America that POC have been living in for several hundred years and what they've been trying to tell the rest of us.
It's past time to pay attention!
