It’s interesting to hear outsiders refer to Mormon bishops, Young Men leaders, as pastors or youth pastors.
I give it exactly 1 second for Christians to make their case against Mormons being real Christians.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Lighting cigarettes in the car with the part of the car specifically made for lighting cigarettes
What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

'Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme Court
The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

It’s the misogyny. They’re making choices and they know it. See Lundy Bancroft’s work on abusive men.
I recall a lot of hoopla from certain people about a crisis among American men and those same people are looking at what happened in New Orleans & Vegas and blaming... immigration? Wokeness? Schools? Liberals? Literally everything except widespread untreated mental health issues among American men.

If you’re like me and struggling on/off with depressive/anxious days and struggling to work out, I’ve found low impact workouts (also Pilates has a lot of these) are manageable. It’s hard to move when your body feels lethargic, but it’s helped me. I use Sweat app!
