If you have one, singular billion dollars you have more than enough money for your entire life.
The poorest person on this list has $135 billion dollars that they will never need.

It’s too late for America— Trump was ushered in on the binary that underlies this — but it’s not too late for everyone and to build a broad, inclusive left that recognizes the humanity of all people.

For me this is very simple.
There is widespread, longstanding practice of using "Zionists" as coded slur for Jews, or "Jews I don't like" (regardless how they define themselves).
That is sufficient reason to refrain from broad-brush language such as "Zionism=Racism" or "Zionists not welcome".

Here is an explanation on why Jewish Greens (who obviously don't speak for every single Jewish person in the party, etc) are so opposed to the Zionism is Racism motion brought to the #GreenParty's spring conference.

My kingdom for a single bloody restaurant with a mocktail menu. There are a lot of people who don't drink and also are not kids who just want pop for fuck's sake. Literally wanted to go out and celebrate something and NO WHERE around me had that option.

Oh. Oh gads. My final "capstone project" literally begins with a paper outlining why and how I'm choosing my final project, people you don't understand I have had "showing my exigetical underwear" trained out of me WHY would you do this? (Seriously just let me write the real paper and be done?)

Perhaps for many around the country. But in Minneapolis, the no Kings and melt ICE movements have significant overlap with BLM. Those folk are righteously angry and grieving not pearl clutching over white ladyhood.
A white mother and U.S. citizen being shot and killed is not what they were sold, and it is a breaking point for many.
That does not, in any way, mean the other actions are not also important and indefensible, but it is a line *for those in the movement* that they thought would not be crossed.

Godsdamn. This is where we’re at.
Direct quote: "I have told the clergy... I've asked them to get their affairs in order. To make sure they have their wills written. Because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies, to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable."
At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own - which it is - and render impassable with our bodies the corridors to the gas chamber. For if they come for you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.

You don’t have to keep watching any death videos. It doesn’t make you more empathic or connected
Atp, I’m suspicious of all these news outlets replaying the video & showing us new angles
You know what happened already. This is not for your benefit

Many of us believe there's no greater love than to lay down your life for another. But it's not just about a person's death.
It's mostly about how they live. Who they are.
Renee, her wife, and the thousands standing up against ICE, are literal Good Samaritans. They are Mr. Rogers' Good Neighbors!

This was so good for me last year that yeah, I need the break!
One of my favorite ways to start the year is with a social media break. I'll be off socials for the month of January at least. While I will miss everyone, I look forward to this time of more quiet and reflection. Happy New Year and see y'all in February! ♥️

Also you are currently nearer in time to Cleopatra than Cleopatra was to the laying-down of the first stone of the Great Pyramid of Giza, so even human time is completely unfathomable to us, let alone the vastly deeper variety.

Bottom: the onion out meal kit company thought was fine for a recipe that needs a lot of onion. Top, a normal yellow onion (half I used the rest yesterday) from our grocery store. Meal kit company can't figure out why I rarely order a box anymore.

Well glad I bought the tire insurance when I bought tires, and also didn't have this little adventure on my "last day of 2025" errand list. 🤦♀️ (First time in my life a tire has read ZERO pressure on my tire monitor.

Perfume collector and geek. Time for some perfume education cause there is so much misunderstanding. 1. Perfume is perfectly acceptable to wear. I wear it daily, yes there are folks in my life who are fragrance sensitive, none of them are bothered by my wear because I do it *right* and you can too.

Literally every other text I get from my mother is some unhinged Threads post about how mRNA vaccines are mutating our genes, and poisoning our water and they are ABSURD and yet she swallows them hook line and sinker and can we PLEASE put age restrictions on social media for the over 80s?

We have finally figured out why Miggy just doesn't eat sometimes... he doesn't like fish. Seriously. Any wet food with fish is a NO from this weirdo.
Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to find quality wet cat food WITHOUT FISH at prices that aren't "I am a billionaire?"

Sooo I'm in training to become a spiritual director, and apparently it's best to learn with real directees. 🤭 I could use more volunteers so I'm making a public invitation for the first time. 🙏 Could you use some (free!) (not-yet-professional!) (Jesus-centered!) companionship? 1/

This winter has been so mild I didn't even clock that if I want to the barn super early today (really first night below freezing) that the arena would be frozen and I'd be driving home to try again once it had thawed later. 🤦♀️🤞 Guess it really is winter now.
