Embroidery journal history/FAQ
My embroidery journal started out as a personal thing that I shared on locked social media. But since moving here to Bluesky, where locked isn’t an option, I’ve had a lot of new people seeing the journal and I thought a thread on it might be helpful.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

saturation with Tolkien spinoffs has somehow not prepared our culture for the arrival of dark lords bearing a gift that everyone becomes convinced they can wield to accomplish great things but just makes them dependent and start whispering about preciouses if you suggest just throwing it away

One of the things I emphasize to people that has informed my politics for basically my entire life is that I am a (practicing) Catholic. Hell is a real place where you will really go if you don’t, you know, respect the dignity of your fellow man

everything obviously wrong with this is obvious, of course, but I’m also struck by like ….. the terror of the silence of your own mind?? humans have prayed, contemplated, meditated in the search for wisdom (whether inner or divine) for our whole history. an app can’t meditate FOR you!
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

E.G., if your position is something other than "people have a right to migrate" "asylum is a human right" "our society has an obligation to welcome the stranger" "every human deserves the full protection of the law" then you are not in accord with Catholic teaching and you better fix your soul!

Good reporting and analysis here from @heidischlumpf.bsky.social. What still feels lacking to me is an emphasis on Catholic doctrine, not just emotions. The Church's teaching has a LOT to say about what justice requires when it comes to respecting immigrants' human rights. I want them to teach it.
The USCCB released a statement in support of immigrants—but its failure to mention Trump and ICE undermines its welcome message.
