Question for rabbis and/or Bible scholars or anyone w/ thoughts - in Genesis, the creation story in my Bible says “male and female he created them.” Not male OR female, male AND female. Has that been used to support LGBTQ+ positions? It seems like it could.

This poem, "The Farthing Peace," is in Jo Walton's alt history novel, Ha'Penny. In this novel, the Farthing Peace was a deal made by the group of politicians known as the Farthing Set. They made a deal with Hitler after he had bombed Britain, & pulled out of the war. This is how I'm feeling today.

I adored this and still do. When I was a kid, she had not written the sequels, but my library had her books about the Austin family. They weren’t fantasy, but I still read them over and over.

I am only on p. 48 (of 920) in #Project2025. One of the things that makes it so difficult to read is the hypocritical tone taken throughout. They write to poor working people as if they were poor working people. And it’s full of gems like this: did you know that “wokeism” = slavery?

Belinda is teased by kids for being fat. Her mom talks to her about various flowers and how they’re all pretty: tall irises, short pansies, etc. It’s been decades since I looked at it but I was impressed by it at the time
