back in the pre-marriage equality era I once heard a close friend from church earnestly say to someone “I just can’t understand why gay people want to DESTROY my marriage by redefining the meaning of it” I’ll remember the way she said the word “destroy” until the day I die, because she meant it

one of the deepest sicknesses in the world are the people who feel personally attacked over other people getting the same rights as them

This meeting could have been an email, and that email could have included a gif of a sassy squirrel saying “you go squirrel”, and I could have sent back a gif that said “snailed it”, you idiot

they hated her because she told the truth

A lot of your elders are secretly queer and their relationships at end of life are only protected by having medical power of attorney forms. Check in with family and friends who don't have one and encourage it!

women from this 🏳️‍⚧️ country are always in possession of complex devices i couldn't possibly name the purpose of

Well, that's a hell of a thing to leave next to a statue of Joan of Arc.😏

There are Catholic Evelyn Normielibs everywhere for those with eyes to see

Damn, hit ‘em with the lookback

trying to get jamelle in particular fired is funny because even if you succeed he's going to start a $2M/year substack

the lesson of the Civil War is that aesthetic warrior-cult societies get their shit rocked by schoolteachers and store clerks who'd much rather be doing anything else

This morning was so chaotic, which Blessing of the Animals often is, but this sort of went beyond what I expected. One kid in the choir dunked their stuffie in the baptismal font right as we processed in. 😂 ⚓️

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

Using religion as a justification for killing people is religious terrorism, no matter if it’s ISIS, the Israeli government, or the U.S. government. It’s religious terrorism.

Texas is basically saying it wants to encourage fraud as a matter of public policy and you should keep that in mind whenever you see a large firm incorporated in Texas

Texas bragging about eliminating the "Delaware-style" implied covenant of *good faith and fair dealing* in contracting is about all you need to know concerning where we are in the race to the bottom.

If I went to Switzerland and won a Swiss watch precision contest, I would literally never talk about anything else

Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · last wk.

I went to Geneva a few weeks ago and spoke on a panel about the nature of time for a Geneva Watch Days event. While I was there, on a lark, I entered a competition to most precisely calibrate a Swiss watch. And today I found out that I won! 😃 www.instagram.com/reel/Dd6hUTB...

Jesus, take the (wh)eel! Did you know that there were eels on the table at the Last Supper? Da Vinci's famous painting has a plate of grilled eel & oranges -- a popular local dish that Leonardo himself probably enjoyed. The ingredients show up on one of his shopping lists! 1/2

In this election season, let us bring the joy and love we carry within us as children of the Living God to our participation in the voting process.

It would be excellent to have a single week, just one, of being merely whelmed. Neither over nor under. Just whelmed.

It's because even in the throes of terror it reflects confidence in an outcome. The sure and certain knowledge that this is the worst of all possible worlds (and will never get better) feels safer to some than any entertaining of hope.

I mourn for every allium allergy.

billionaires should fund something useful. there's suffering people in this world with allium allergies we could be curing with a moonshot-sized CRISPR research program

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
