Be aware that the Big Box that stigmatized you so long did not have a change of heart, they had a change of financial strategy. And the rainbow-draped heroes of today stood silent while I was cashiered out. Ask yourself if it’s reasonable to expect a different outcome today. Worth considering.

But that Big Box denomination only changed stance because it smelled cultural change in the wallets of its benefactors. Sad to say, the culture is changing again. And no matter what season, the Big Box’s color is always green. 2?

For a dozen years I was a professional minister in a Big Box denomination. I got ousted for being pro-trans, but a few years later they became affirming. Lots of ministers who stood silent are now posing with rainbow flags, now that it’s safe. 1/?

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

The subtitles on the theme song of The Office say “rock music” and I need to know whom to sue.

I just heard an NPR story where the guest said a particular nursing home practice was changed by the AR State Assembly because it was “too cruel even for Arkansas.”

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

Don't Gaslight Yourself. You're Right To Grieve What's Happening to America. I know what you're thinking.

The fact that you see how wrong this all is, means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly; you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keep you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times.
