Photo of Pope Francis dressed in all white sitting in a chair with his right arm raised to his chest. He is giving a no-nonsense look at the camera. His quote is highlighted: Who an I to judge? Being homosexual is not a crime."

In the name of Pope Francis, toss your guilt to the side today, and in the name of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, express your joy to the world. While the Sisters are not affiliated with the Catholic Church, we cannot deny the historic roots nuns hold with Catholicism. Pope Francis was a humble man who elevated to one of the most powerful positions in the world and he used his power in ways unimaginable to many who grew up in the church. He opened the door to reconciliation with and full acceptance of LGBTQ people. The church has much work to do, but we today can acknowledge the significant accomplishments of Pope Francis. #SistersOfPerpetualIndulgence #sopi #PopeFrancis #SpreadLove #QueerJoy #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Screenshot from Kiplinger.com article Tesla reported $2.3B in US income in 2024 but paid zero federal income tax

Screenshot for 2022 ProPublica.com article on tax rates of the superficial rich Warren Buffet 0.10% Jeff Bezo 0.98% Michael Bloomberg 1.30% Elon Musk 3.27%

Something to think about as your finger hovers over that Buy Now button for your "emergency purchase" during today's economic blackout: Why should uber rich billionaires and corporations pay less of a tax rate than you and your under $100K annual income job?

Mark your calendars, queens. DC #SistersOfPerpetualIndulgence will be out in March. We want to see you there!

The Sisters always respect how folx identify, but we also shun gatekeeping of identities by others. Your work screams "Imma historian", but we'll refer to you as Dr Winnicki, if you prefer. Your content is great. Thanks for sharing it. 😃

Justice is the sweet smell of the violet, crushed by the boot of those marching forward and refusing to accept the status quo.

Our boots are made for stomping, and that's just what they'll do.
