Sure there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism but some of it is waaaaay less ethical.

A classic brown and black tabby is snuggling with a calico cat on the top of a two-tier cat bed/scratching post.

Harry and Nadia would say hi but they’ve had a long day of doing nothing and need their nap first.

You can’t hurt me, you’re not a beloved children’s movie from
the 80s

It’s ok to put the phone down.

And this is why I make my high school students play with AI at the start of the school year. They are constantly amazed at how bad it can be.

What every teacher in my school thinks each time our principal speaks at a faculty meeting. 🙄

We have angered the gods. Bring back the Choco Taco. Play music videos on MTV again. Make movies under 120 minutes. Do history on the history channel. Only make cake out of cake. We must atone.

You should get to choose what song is stuck in your head, like it’s hold music for your brain.

Reminder. There ain't no law against admitting you got played.

What would Jesus say about transferring wealth to the rich? No speculation needed. "Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep" (Lk. 6: 24-26).

When they came for the wockaflockas I did nothing, because I was not a wockaflocka.

When they came for the whatnots I did nothing, because I was not a whatnot.

Y'all know how the rest of the damn poem goes. Wake up, America.

I know things seem scary right now, but it's important to take care of yourself. Hug your kids, focus on the things you are grateful for, and take a break from the news when you need it.

Keep the faith and remember, we'll get through this together.

Be kind, y'all. Love does a lot more good than hate.

You ever wonder what life would be like if you didn’t overthink everything? I think about it all the time

Your regular reminder that the entire global economy is subject to the whipsaw whims of a person who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

You are loved and you are special as hell. Go kick this day's ass.

I, for one, am tired of [gestures broadly]. I have grown weary of [points in all directions simultaneously].

I have no desire to argue. Not because I can’t — but because I value my peace more than being right. If it costs my energy, I’ll walk away in silence. Every time.

Best thing about being a teacher is having a built in excuse to wear "spirit wear" (i.e. sweats) whenever I want.

This prison holds some people, including migrants, who have not been convicted of a crime, had no due process, and are imprisoned unjustly. During Holy Week, Rep. Moore will hear about another person unjustly imprisoned. The Christian response to suffering is never a "thumbs up."

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

There ain't another you. Anywhere. Remember that, you special wockaflocka.

Trump officials renew opposition to ruling on Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador The Justice Department’s latest legal filing asserted that courts cannot direct President Trump’s foreign policy by forcing the return of a man unlawfully sent to a Salvadoran prison.

All the supposed Christians in the Trump administration should be appalled by this, especially during Holy Week, when we remember another man unjustly imprisoned...

A picture looking down a neighborhood street. The sky is very blue and has pre, puffy white clouds.

A picture of a green field with an impromptu small pond. (Impromptu because there’s been over 8 inches of rain in about a week. 😳)

We decided it was too pretty a day to stay inside. Happy (finally sunny) Thursday, y’all!

Picture of a book quote that says, "Interestingly, there is wide support for the welfare state. The support stems from an awareness of the fact that the welfare model turns our collective wealth into well-being. We are not paying taxes, we are investing in our society. We are purchasing quality of life."

I love when I read something in a book that perfectly says why I think they way I do. “The Little Book of Hygge” by Meik Wiking #bookworm #proudliberal

You're only in trouble if you start hearing questions about how to stream TBS on phones...
