she/her. exvangelical still-kinda-Christian. always becoming.
Hello Bluesky folks, I need some help. I’m writing an exvangelical memoir & I have a formatting idea that involves going deep into the abyss of Christianese. If you grew up evangelical, will you give me a word/phrase (& maybe its definition) from that world? Thank you ☺️

WE ALREADY HAVE THESE. THEY ARE CALLED PRISONS.
And it is directly the fault of the media for ignoring the deep injustice of our prison system for decades that led to these escalations.
People have been calling for abolition for decades for a reason.

Are We About to Have Labor Camps in the United States of America?
If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost
I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Anthony Bourdain was the guy that everyone thinks Joe Rogan is: curious, truth seeking, and open to genuinely new ideas and cultural perspectives.

I love my little suburb. Yesterday I started going to a massage therapist who’s been listening to me sing while I walk by her house for years. Tonight I went out to get ice cream & ran into a neighbor on the way home & just chatted on the side of the street for 20 minutes while my ice cream melted.

Something tells me the NYT would be able to muster more outrage if Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden—neither of whose are in any office!—accepted a jumbo jet from the Qataris.
This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

Went to a shoe store today and asked an employee if they had the shoes I was looking at in a 9. She checked the back & then came out & said “no I don’t have that, would you be okay with a size 6?” With all due respect ma’am why the fuck would I want a shoe 3 full sizes too small?

We really need to talk about the amount of privilege it takes to be advertising your international destination writing retreat during a time when people are being denied accurate travel documents or having their phones searched for “unacceptable” political content when they travel

I broke up with my best friend a year & a half ago. Apparently she just got married. When we were still friends, I was going to be in that wedding as she had been in mine. Grief is weird.

Update: Last week they said 1 month. 2 days ago they brought a hospital bed into her home & told my father she probably has 2 weeks at the most. Last night we went to see her for what may have been the last time.
Again, please pray for my dad.
