Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged Β£9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but Β£17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

"We will shoot you, graveyard dead. "

This week, a Florida Sheriff used this threat issued to protesters. The idea of violence as a way to solve political disagreement has consequences.

I am horrified by this political shooting.

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people.

Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

assassinations, handcuffing a senator at press conference, marines detaining a civilian, and a military parade for the president’s birthday. rough week for democracy.

I am so hoping when I head to seminary to reclaim it lol

The irony is I started playing d&d for the first time as a means to continue to connect with Bible college friends when we left the dorm. Wasn't hooked until recently with the move to NYC/alongside ordination call lol

This remains one of my favorite books in philosophy I've read as well as one of my favorite to assign as a creative writing/presentation assignment to supplement an introduction to philosophy course!!!

It's a MUST read even if not a philosopher! Please support Lisa & Rebecca & their project!
