I appreciate what @jessicatarlov.bsky.social is trying to do here. Folks should give it a listen. I’d be interested if it resonates with the ~ 2/3 of minorities who did not vote for Trump. It’s fair if they/we aren’t the audience she’s talking to here. #resilience

My high school didn’t have a sports team, we didn’t even have an athletic department. But we had a dance dept, and doing the summer musical counted as a PE credit. #artsschool #notmadaboutit

Stephen said, ‘God appeared to Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran. “Leave your country and your people,” God said, “and go to the land I will show you.”’
‘No,’ replied the priest, ‘that happened in Haran! Read the bloody Torah!’ - Act 7:2-3
