there is a real lack of understanding of what “grace” is. grace is a gift. and like all gifts it should be received in gratitude. and that gratitude must include a sincere effort to repent and make recompense for what you’ve done. anything else cheapens the gift.

Inside of me there are two lions. Both have anxiety.

MICHIEL COXCIE (1499-1592), CARTOONIST; WILLEM DE PANNEMAKER (ACTIVE 1535-1578), WEAVER Noah Builds the Ark "Story of Noah' series Brussels-Brabant, 1563-1566 Tapestry; gold, silver, silk and wool In 1556, Philip II acquired a set of tapestries that told the story of Noah. However, in 1559 the ship carrying them to Spain sank and only two hangings were saved, so the king ordered another set in 1562. It originally consisted of ten tapestries, only three of which are still extant: one shows God commanding Noah to build the ark, another depicts the disembarkation after the flood, and the third is this scene, where the biblical patriarch is giving his sons instructions on how to build the ark. For the borders, Philip II chose his coats of arms and a few animals alluding to the four elements silhouetted against a landscape in the background, whose painstaking details must have posed quite a technical challenge. This tapestry arrived in Madrid in 1566 and was displayed in emblematic settings like the Monastery of El Escorial.

The problem with Philip the Evangelist was he was obsessed with “identity politics.” That was his whole career. Every story with the guy is just one special interest group after another.

So, one positive thing about Harris is that she has a solid record on trans rights that goes beyond pithy statements.

In her role as DA in San Francisco, she worked to abolish the gay and trans panic defense. As AG, she made it happen in California in 2014. The state was the first to ban it.
