I'm realizing my limits with platforms like bluesky and threads, is that I really don't have that much to say right now. Every time I feel the need to say something, I find someone else already saying it.

Re-reading Francis’s encyclicals, and there are some true bangers.

The way I FULLY just assumed Anita Bryant was already dead. Like, I am a professional trans with degrees in queer theory and religious studies and have studied the protests of Anita Bryant, and I 1000% never looked up to see if she was still alive. I hope there is pie and orange juice in hell.
