The New Gender Synthesis To be only masculine or only feminine is to be half a human being.

"Reactionary camp is more than just an aesthetic. It is a story. And the linchpin of that story is rape. This doesn't require some deep feminist reading. They'll just tell you." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-new-gend...

The Episcopal Church wants my responses about the plagiarism machine that also takes water away from critical needs like forest fire fighting and crops?

It’s been awhile since I went “weapons free” on someone. Let’s dance.

Had the most Episcopal seminarian stress dream ever last night in which I was at an ordination and was for some reason expected to sing the solo part of Veni, Sanctus Spiritus (which, importantly, I DO NOT KNOW!)

And then WHAT, might you ask, was the prelude before chapel today??? Lord, have mercy

Speaker Johnson says Bishop Budde "hijacked" the the service at which she urged the president to show mercy. But the service was held in her cathedral. People were there at her invitation. These folks think they own things, like the church, and it's important to make clear to them that they don't.

Today is *not* a “peaceful transfer of power.” It’s the completion of a violent coup attempt that began this morning four years ago. Yes, Trump won the ‘24 election; but he was only able to run because we failed to fully confront the fact of that violent coup attempt.

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys.

This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...
