Just found this again. Now I actually have a plate that needs to be kintsugi'd. Can't wait to see the result.

For a while I worked for the Mennonite Central Committee. I thought I’d clash with all the evangelical Christians and the little old ladies in their sensible shoes. How wrong I was! This tarot-reading Christo-Buddhist Pagan was welcomed with open arms. Best workplace ever. #truestory #vss365

I was completely unprepared for the threat posed by the Antifa super soldiers.

The Conservative Justices Don't Trust Any Science That Supports LGBTQ Kids States that want to facilitate discrimination against LGBTQ people have the Court's blessing. States that want to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination do not.

I've written my analysis of today's grim Supreme Court oral argument in the conversion therapy case:

As far as the Court's concerned, imaginary medical uncertainty gives states the authority to hurt queer kids, and takes away states' authority to protect them

A photo I took of the Wenatchee River, near the shore with soft sand and bright green shrubbery and trees. In the center is a partially transparent black overlay with paper white serif text in the middle. The text reads: Morning mist rises / from the river where I cast / my line for wisdom Politicians argue / in distant halls of power / while fish swim freely Who needs their golden / promises when water / teaches truth daily Yun Seon-do

A sijo is a Korean poem originating in the 14th century, with 3-6 lines. (44-46 syllables total.)

Yun Seon-do endured banishment for criticizing the ruling Joseon court. Some poetry is timeless.

I once read a fairytale pedagogy advising against writing about wolves & candles, because they were cliché & overdone. I then proceeded to write a long sequence about a wolf full of candles.

Here are 3 from that sequence, thanks to @havehadhavehad 🐺🕯️

“Conversion therapy” is a euphemism for child abuse, and every mainstream medical and mental health organization has rejected this practice for decades. There is no evidence that it does anything besides harm children. It is one of the few subjects where there is an overwhelming medical consensus.

One of the things I really dislike about social media these days is that someone says something that may or may not be in code and everyone piles on, knowing for sure what was "really" meant. Sometimes the OP agrees, sometimes not. WTF is wrong with stating exactly what you mean?

Gasoline sells at a DEEPLY subsidized rate of 12.3¢ per gallon in Venezuela, but costs more than $4 per gallon in Trinidad which is just six miles away from the coast of Venezuela. There’s a much greater chance that Trump murdered people bootlegging gas than drugs.

Can I match them to my sneakers?

Oh, sorry, couldn't see it. Thanks!

Honestly, I can’t believe people do this. I’d want to punch someone for sending me an AI video of my dead mother.

Have some respect. People have lost the plot.

this is so fucking gross i don’t even have words to process how fucking gross it is

Can you put me on there? I've been doing #vss365 for years. Thanks!

I haven't seen anyone else do this yet, so I've created a starter pack for #vss365 posters. This includes people who appear currently active in this activity as well as the vss365 feed. There are still a few spots left in this starter pack, so let me know if there are more people for me to add.

It's quite common for ppl to only see the funny in comedians and writers without seeing, or wanting to see, the unerlying philosophy. Dr. Seuss is another example.
