This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

as a lapsed Catholic, I don't understand why US conservatives are calling the new Pope "woke" like it's an insult, when Catholic values include stuff like "put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first" and "the economy must serve people, not the other way around": www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-...

I have an entire website filled with books written by autistic people, including poetry books, many by non-speaking Autistics.

Very little surprises me, but I *am* surprised, shocked, bewildered, flabberfuckinggasted that our elected officials aren’t holding emergency press conferences right now. If we continue like this, we don’t continue…they get that right? RIGHT????!!
