That Super Bowl was a gift for black artists. Kendrick showed us a way forward in this time of facism. Coded language. Storytelling. Aggressive humor and joy. Elevated artistry in the place of mere entertainment. Not obeying in advance. Saying the thing that respectability doesn’t want us say.

This is my favorite post on the internet
⚪️ Evangelicals mad because Kendrick showed how easy it is to call out predators on stage but they won’t do it.

There are times when your spirituality must express itself in defiance.

I think now is such a time.

You?

As an evangelical Christian I wasn’t teachable because I was conditioned to believe that my faith and my faith-based worldview took precedence over every other #deconstructingchristianity

I used to be an evangelical Christian and I can confidently say that I’m a significantly better person since leaving this religion and rejecting its worldview #deconstructingchristianity #exvangelical

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

At the second National Prayer Breakfast (yes, there are two this year--Christian Nationalism, y'all) Trump opens by suggesting the constitutional restraints on him running for a third time don't apply to him.

This will be a fight in the near future folks.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved, in return.

But like, also learn finance.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

I know. I was there in those camps.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.
