As someone who was a youth pastor, and has read it, cover to cover, twice, I can confirm.
Atheism to me is simply not needing Jesus to have divinity to want to follow his teachings and philosophy on how to treat one another.

The executive, the congress, and the courts have forsworn their oaths to the Constitution in favor of idolatry to one man, and shown us that they are not there to represent us. That no one is coming to help us, and that we will have to do it ourselves.

Art imitates life, and life imitates art. If you didn’t know this came from #StarWars, I bet I know what name you’d place there.
May the force be with us all.

I’ve gotten into morale patches somewhat recently, and I think the cover of my little book has filled out nicely.
This space, being 2A-adjacent, is saturated with maga. Big thanks to creators like @offcolordecals.bsky.social , LumolaStudio (Etsy) and others representing leftist ideology there!

Essential reading and reference, well worth your time, all of these.
What should I add to expand my preparedness skill set and understanding of economic and political history? Tell me in the comments.

Replacing my old wallet prompted something different today: here’s my everyday carry.
Yes, that’s a LEGO keychain. It’s been on my keys since 2001, slowly wearing away but holding strong.

I wish I could say the same. I keep waiting for “we were wrong” from my folks. Until I get that, there can be no repairing our completely broken relationship.

Who’da thunk it, looks like allowing people to be called what they want to be called isn’t actually a deeply held conviction when these people are reminded exactly how close they are to being destitute.
I just wish empathy worked as well as fear does. We wouldn’t be in this mess.

My carefully considered thoughts on the practical, ethical, and economic considerations surrounding the use of AI to allow wealth to access skill while at the same time preventing skill from accessing wealth, thus creating a broader divide in the wealth gap, summarized:

One of my favorite miniatures I’ve painted. Shenanigans led to the party’s Dragonborn fighter having wings grafted on.

Almost like the whole point was to sell people fear and enrich themselves with donations. I told my dad FOR YEARS to stop giving his hard earned money to rich fuckers that did not need it.
He didn’t listen. He went maga. Now he’s on tyranny’s side calling it patriotism. I am ashamed of him.

True, true. But the thing that sticks with me most is how more than 1 in 3 Americans just stayed home and did fuck all instead of realizing that with every right, there is an inherent responsibility. Too many people were irresponsible. And they let the truly terrible ones get the upper hand.

People like Elon aren’t wealthy. All they have is money. What a sad little man, to have so much and yet so little.
