Even if you are a good communicator — professional communicator, even — you can write or say something that intelligent, reasonable, good-faith people can interpret differently than you intended.

I'm making coloring pages as a creative outlet, so I'm going to start sharing them (hopefully) weekly on here. There will be a few repeats on weeks that I don't have a new one created.
Just a normie trying to find my place in the resistance.

Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!

This has been driving me insane. Like, who cares, but also it's crazy making.
This isn't important, but: A weirdly high number of y'all keep referring to ministers/pastors as priests.
This is particularly odd, since *most* Christians in the U.S. belong to traditions that generally do not call their clergy priests!

Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?"
A: yes

I kind of only want to hear from the people who believe the rapture is happening but are not confident in their own rapture.
These people who are convinced they get to go...not my kind of people honestly. Like you do you but I don't need to hear from you.

I wonder how many panic attacks caused by fascism and my miniscule and inane personal BS I can squeeze into one week? And how much shame I will feel for having a panic attack in my position of privilege?
At least I can admit they are panic attacks and not just anxiety spirals. Couldn't before.

Be Kind To Yourself
Be kind to yourself. Stop judging yourself, stop trying to make yourself fit into the morality of anyone else — myself and the Church included — stop “shoulding” all over yourself. The world is better — fuller, richer, more beautiful — with you in it...

Also, I will let Cris Collinsworth commentate on my daily life if it means never hearing Joe Buck again.

Call me a pedant but I think this is extremely important if we are ever getting back to normal. We have to make lying bad again, and that includes lying about evil people. “That dude sucks so it’s fine to totally misrepresent what he said, for clout” is toxic to our society, truth matters
a society that wants to keep functioning must punish baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

I was so lost as a young man surrounded proto-manosphere messages treating women as toys and possessions. The disgusting conversations and violations of trust I heard and endured in college. I can't imagine what it was like for women.

Harming Trans folk harms Christ.
Harming migrants harms Christ.
Harming the sick harms Christ.
Harming poor people harms Christ.
We love God by loving each other, and we demonstrate our contempt for God when we increase suffering for anyone.
Can we collectively try love just once?
