I don’t believe in an eternal hell (progressive theology taught me this)
but I believe humans can make little hells for each other and ourselves (going to watch improv taught me this)

Because of the Heated Rivalry soundtrack, I’m listening to Feist again for the 1st time in 10-15 years
I never figured out if the “sea lion woman” in the song is top-half sea lion or bottom-half sea lion 🤔

I was “teaching” my husband about hockey b/c he’s the only person who knows less about sports than I do lol
And I knew the names for some of the positions from Heated Rivalry, but I didn’t know what the defensive positions were called, so I gave them the dumbest name I could think of: “defensemen.”

I think it would be ghoulish to say this kind of thing, even if the article itself did not pretty straightforwardly undermine its own premise (and his)

Americans in their 20s and 30s may not feel that they’re richer than their equivalents 60 years ago, but they’re objectively wrong.
It’s fascinating how important it is to some people not to say “I’m struggling, it’s hard” or “I need help”—objectively true—but to instead insist they have it worse.

Went to the replies to say that this (and every) attempt to define who/what is (and isn’t) human using functionality criteria is deeply ableist
And, happily, others were already saying as much ♿️💙

The Episcopal Church needs to wrestle more honestly with this w/r/t to “purple churches” (mix of Republican & Democrat). ⚓️
Queer people are told to put up with casual (& not so casual) homophobia/transphobia from our fellow parishioners b/c “they’ll come around.”
But probably they won’t 🤷🏼♀️

As was clear during Trump 1, roughly 37% of Americans are committed to white supremacy &/or Christian nationalism, no matter the cost. Very much reminds me of the Reconstruction South, which doubled down on the plantation regime that had destroyed the country in the aftermath of emancipation.

“Longstanding principle”? You mean the Constitution lol
The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko
