Today, because I was wearing multiple cat-related items, the barista who made my drink said “Can I show you pictures of my cats?” And that was all the confirmation I needed to know I’m putting out the right vibe to invite what I want into my life. Anyway, show me your cats. Here are Han & Lando.

Peter David wrote so many of my favorite Star Trek novels including the Imzadi series that I read countless times as a young adult. He had a way of combining humor and genuine emotion that I aspire to. Rest in peace, Peter.
Official confirmation from his family that Peter David has passed away after a long illness. Tremendous writer, incredible talent. Sending my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

No. Christians feel persecuted because there is a vast media apparatus telling them that they are persecuted. There is no evidence whatsoever of large-scale discrimination against Christians in this country.
Interesting story that gets to the heart of why many Christians feel persecuted in the U.S.: The secular elite find many of their views abhorrent and uncouth

Watching Democrats abandon trans issues because they think it will win them votes is disgusting and infuriating. They are setting the table for even more violence.

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵

Thanks for sharing - this poem (written in 2014-15) is the source of the quote "white supremacy is not a shark; it is the water."
Even with the sharks in the spotlight right now, a reminder that our work is not to get back to a pre-Trump status quo; it is to fight for the world we actually want.
