#ShowerThoughts AU where Taylor Swift uses her billions to buy controlling interests in all of the health insurance companies, then demands socialized medicine. Single-payer health care, but she is the payer. US National Health is marketed like a private company and sold to the public as SwiftMed.

I hear and behold God in every object, [...]
Why should I wish to see God better than this day?
I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then,
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass;

“The change follows years of quiet tension over the obligations of judges in a state where local officials and clerks have occasionally resisted same-sex marriage rulings.” A saddening development. #Texas #LoveIsLove www.advocate.com/news/texas-j...
Texas Supreme Court rules that judges can refuse to marry same-sex couples
“It is not a violation of these canons for a judge to publicly refrain from performing a wedding ceremony based upon a sincerely held religious belief,” the Texas Supreme Court ruled.

#AgathaChristie #PassengertoFrankfurt #BookSky The natural idealism of youth is fed more and more by a desire to destroy those two phases of modern life, injustice and crass materialism. That desire to destroy what is evil sometimes leads to a love of destruction for its own sake. 1/2

If you go to the cartoonmuseum.org in Central London to see incredible collections & shows of the best cartoon artwork
& you pay for admission once, that ticket acts as an annual membership so you can go back as many times as you like in 1 year.

My solidarity with trans people isn’t at odds with Reproductive Justice — it’s integral to it.
I will keep using inclusive language. I will keep including trans people in my work.
Our liberation is bound together.

You and I, Ragnfrid, we have observed all the fast days and have tried to live by God's commandments in all things. And now it almost seems to me . . . that we might have been happier if we had had more to regret.
