Dale checked off 2 of the boxes of ways people control others:

Emotional abuse - gaslighting /making Kat feel crazy

Minimizing, denying, blaming - he did all of these and tried to blame her for not being healed from her ex, instead of taking responsibility for his actions

Realizing some explanation might be needed for all two people who recently started following me here (thanks!) at #uccsynod. I also unapologetically watch The Bachelor franchise (ok a little apologetically..) and talk about it online. I am a complex woman.

We still have some huckleberry (and cherry!) taffy left over at the Montana-Northern Wyoming table. If you want some before @generalsynic.bsky.social gets to it, come by! Betty the Bison will welcome you. #uccsynod

Anyone else have the desire to shout “stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight!”?

#UCCSynod Day 3, I’ve been awake so long this morning for my regional caucus that at 9am it feels like 111:30. What do you mean the exhibit hall isn’t open yet?

Looking forward to this keynote address from Rev. Jennifer Butler, who is starting off talking about getting arrested in nonviolent civil disobedience alongside UCC clergy. Here for this! #UCCSynod

Well it happened. I entered the blip in the space-time continuum that is #UCCSynod and showed up early to my regional caucus this morning at 6:30 a.m. Who am I? Where are we? Why?

Over here crying into my cauliflower steak listening to Kansas City Choral Spectrum at the #UCCSynod Open and Affirming Coalition UCC Gala dinner. Didn’t know I needed that ministry of song, joy, pride and resistance in this little conference room. Grateful. 💕🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✝️

Just learned that as an Associate delegate I can’t vote in the (temporary) absence of a voting delegate. So…what IS the purpose of an Associate Delegate besides tying up the synod wifi on social media during votes? #UCCSynod #Hereforthesnacks

Yeeps. Two years after the last GS, I find that my progressive lenses reallly don’t handle these big screens. What’s going to happen when we go three years till next time….? #Thisis50 #UCCSynod

Mercy.
This run on verbs, starting with the first, echoes the Book of Esther, where Haman describes his desire to genocide the Jews w/a few verbs, starting with להשמיד.

It’s not a coincidence, esp. since we just read Esther. This racist, genocidal Jewish nationalist is not being subtle.

Absolute evil.
Itamar Ben Gvir:

"Annihilate, smash, eradicate, erase, crush, shatter, burn, be cruel, punish, ruin, crush. Annihilate!"

This is the genocidal voice of the Israeli government.

if you're a PhD applicant with acceptances to programs in the US, you should ask your potential advisor what is happening at the university, in the department, or at least in their own heads in response to Mahmoud Khalil's abduction and deportation.
