Love is love. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Christian Nationalism is against our founding fathers' beliefs. Abortion is healthcare. Intolerance will not be tolerated. Read banned books! 📚
This might be an older skit, but if you're a Dr Who fan, it is an absolute delight!

This week has been so magical! I've been listening to the Herbalism Academy's annual virtual conference and have learned so much. It is always such a pleasure to hear Maria Noel Groves speak, and I got to listen to so many others for the first time. I ❤️ learning about herbal medicine!

I'm sure it'll be fine... 😬
In their rush to destroy our government

The Trump administration fired the workers who keep our nukes safe

And-realizing how badly they screwed up

Are trying to rehire them

But can’t-because they don’t know how to get in touch with the fired workers

The incompetence is unprecedented

Is it inappropriate to leave a Google review for the recently renamed 'Gulf of America' saying that it's not the same since the rebranding & to bring back the Gulf of Mexico? Anyways... I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Thank you to those at Harvard who took the time to archive all of that data. And to all of the data warriors doing the same during this critical time. You all are incredible!

I've never been in to oracle decks until one of my Herbalism motors (Kimberly) introduced me to The Herbal Astrology Pocket Oracle. I drew this card today - it genuinely resonates with how I've been feeling.

✨️Confront that which is unworthy of your devotion.

Good vibes for Tuesday..

This little catnip fiend is one of the few things holding me together right now. He eats it, then rolls in it & is the happiest little dude.

Here's to Dorian for being an adorable chaotic fur baby. 💕

Caronavirus.gov is down. Definitely not surprised by that. 🤨🙄

He & his cronies are evil. I wonder how many people will die because he's in office this time.

The search results are there, but several of the links lead to a Page Not Found error.

Feeling very unsafe.

I need summer to be here. I need to be able to garden, not only for the stress relief it provides from working in the dirt but also for what I'm able to produce. I gave away a good amount of produce last year & plan to increase what I grow this year to be able to give more away.

He really doesn't care if he kills people. Freezing WIC & subsidized school lunches for kids is incredibly unethical & dangerous.

A bishop asking for mercy is apparently inappropriate & worthy of condemnation?

I want separation of church and state, not public affirmation of the US dependency on god.

This is vile. Anti-Abortion violence is inhumane. Threatening doctors/medical staff, blocking women from accessing healthcare, and bomb threats... there's a special place in Hell for y'all.

Women should be in charge of their health without the threat of violence.

I have an appointment coming up to start the process for a hysterectomy. I wonder how many hoops I will need to jump through to see IF I can get it approved.

I'm pagan & love the message she gave. It took courage to use her platform to advocate for those who don't have a voice, especially during this crazy time.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde truly lives her faith & I hope I get to hear her speak in person on day!

Libraries are one of the most incredible resources we have & they're free to access.

Many have:
📚E-books
📓Online homework help
🎨Activities for all ages groups
🗃Genealogy databases
💻E-learning
🔬Access to technology like microscopes & 3D printers

They're far more than buildings filled with books!

Note: The person giving the sermon in question is Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington.

Rep. Collins is suggesting deporting a U.S. citizen and bishop for delivering a sermon in a house of worship in accordance with her faith.

The official Spanish White House page also has a 404 error. Just in case you wanted to know.
The Constitution is now gone from the White House web page. You will only see a 404 error message. They are about to rip this country apart.
