we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

I know that you know.
I know that you see.
I know that you feel
& I know that you weep.
May I know the most frightened
tonight are being held,
& the lonely at their end
in the end will be well
Shape us now in your wisdom
ever ancient & new,
illuminate our knowing
and make it known that it’s you.

“Too often, egotism, performance, ambition, and bravado in the male proceed from a profound fear of this failure, this humanity, this death, this shit.” (Rohr, Adam’s Return p.8)

It’s not hard to notice that the men at the top of our culture’s food chain are the most profoundly frightened people.

A behind-the-scenes moment on the way to DC!

We invite you to join us in DC on May 12th at noon ET at Upper Senate Park and online ALL DAY for #MillionsMissing.

Please send good vibes to ex. dir. Laurie Jones, who is having a bit of a setback getting there.

It’s good to remember you’re not the only one standing in this pain.
It’s good to grieve over what is lost.

Welcome to Good Friday.

It’s good to long for a happy ending.
It’s good to admit this isn’t what you wanted.

It’s good to be broken over brokenness.
Welcome to Good Friday.

For those who are so overwhelmed with the brokenness of this world that it’s hard to handle One More Broken Thing: welcome to Good Friday (it’s ok to be broken over brokenness here)

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.
Black graphic with text: "Know Your Protest Rights. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”Know Your Rights. White ACLU logo. Dark blue background with text: "Know Your Rights When Interacting With Immigration Agents. If you’re in a public space, you can ask if you're free to leave. If so, you can calmly walk away.You have the right to remain silent, even if you’re arrested. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone. If you’re arrested, you can say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer.You have the right to refuse consent to a search.If you have valid immigration documents, you’re required to show them. Never provide fake documents.You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.If you’re at home, you do not have to open the door. ICE agents may not enter unless they have a warrant signed by a judge (have them slip it under the door). If they force their way in, do not resist, but you can remain silent."Know Your Rights.
