Philosophically, yes. But as a policy wouldn't it be somewhat dangerous as it would negate support for medical intervention to prevent, cure or minimize disability? Personally, absolutely we should accept, accommodate, and celebrate every person.

Breath of Being, may each breath reconnect us with the wholeness to which we belong, of which we are a part, the wholeness we can choose to nurture for life’s thriving and joy #eveningprayer #chaliceextinguishing #uu

Outrage and solidarity with the Sudanese people must turn into action. Starvation and rape are used as weapons of war.
We must step up humanitarian access. And take actions against those fueling this war, including networks linked to the UAE. No justice without accountability.

Wisdom, may we nurture meaningful discourse in our differences with generous curiosity, fairness, and tolerance, even if we know we may not live the same way or agree #eveningprayer #chaliceextinguishing #uu

The monsters are always screaming.

It's such a cliche now but the courage and fear and vulnerability and desperation of YOU SHALL NOT PASS is maybe the best moment ever. This is a post about me crying during LOTR today.

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

I do hope we will all be boycotting this event taking place in Florida, USA. This is not a safe time to go to the US for non-US citizens and not a place we should be supporting with tourist cash.

"If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend that is always there."
~ Khalil Gibran

Thank God we didn't use that $77,000,000,000 to build homes and lift people out of poverty!

Beloved, may we have friends at our shoulders and anchoring us in steadfast generosity, faithful risk, and daily thankfulness #morningprayer #chalicelighting #uu

I’m no stranger to loneliness, as those with the patience to follow me here know all too well.

But the promise of an AI “companion” who gives you what you want, and only what you want, when you want it, with no friction, no disagreement, no agency — that’s the Devil and his false promises.

This is your occasional reminder that telling people “no, fuck off” (in @angryblacklady.blacksky.app parlance) can be an edifying spiritual practice in an appropriate context

An alternative interpretation of that phrase can be “bless your heart”

Absolute stunner!

Wisdom, may we shelter the persecuted and protect the vulnerable, knowing this is what it means to love our neighbor as we love ourselves #eveningprayer #chaliceextinguishing #uu #lasposadas

Wisdom, help us turn away the tide of tyranny that unjustly persecutes those seeking safety, family, and to make a good home #morningprayer #chalicelighting #uu #lasposadas

Isn't it true that there is an overpopulation of foxes due to the lack of larger apex predators, such as wolves and lynx?

"This is as a result of depleted stock due to overfishing." Should we let them fish the sea to utter emptiness?

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

Great! But will it hold? These zombies usually come back to life in a year or two.

When you feel depleted of enchantment, walk the wood. It is where magic lives loudly. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982
