The public is invited to pay their respects to former President Jimmy Carter.

Sometimes I ask fellow Christians what in the Bible would back up Trump… his hate and division. They bring up when Jesus showed anger and flipped the money changer tables.

They miss the point, he was angry they were perverting the temple, which is what Christian MAGA is doing to the church

And yet Roberts is yearning for approval and believes his court deserves it. You can see it in the year end report. He is sadly self-deluded. After Citizens United and Dobbs and the ethics issues, Roberts will be remembered in the same way that Taney was remembered after the Dred Scott case. Poorly.

This might sound like a hot take but friends: Read books as a hobby this year. It is one of the best things you can do for your brain to grow your thinking and perspectives.
If you want to be anti-consumption get a library card.

Bonus: in places like UK/AoNZ/CA library copies pay authors

never mind looking south this is looking straight up to the sky above me!!!

At the centre of the image is a nebula on the black background of space. The nebula is composed of wispy filaments of light blue clouds. At the centre-right of the blue clouds is a large cavernous bubble. The bottom left edge of this cavernous bubble is filled with hues of pink and white gas. Hundreds of dim stars fill the area surrounding the nebula.

Because it needs to be said, despite propaganda being spread about the terrorist in New Orleans being an immigrant, he was in fact born and raised in Texas and was a US Veteran. Their hopes in using this brutal terror attack to demean immigrants has ended in total failure.

More than almost anything else, I will miss having a President who is capable of compassion, decency and empathy in times of crisis.

When I was a genderqueer teen figuring myself out, people told me I'd never be able to get a job wearing my Jordan's everywhere and having tattoos and piercings.

Now, I'm a whole professor teaching those people's kids...in my Js, tattoos, and piercings, lol.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION 2025:

In the interest of preserving the planet, specifically water conservation, I am now selflessly resolved & fully committed to peeing in the shower.

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort, any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of. ♡

Skip the usual resolutions that often fizzle out. Take some time to identify what's already bringing you positive results and focus on doing more of that. Then figure out what's holding you back and make it a priority to let those things go.

Have a happy good day and new year!
