Same!

Mine are still fairly young, though (11, 10, and 8)

(using the end slices of a loaf of bread) i'm so brave

SAME.

I have kids, so it's like . . . please can we not?

(I do, however, like attention)

Cute!

This is how I learned that Super Grok is a thing that exists.

What a stupid, stupid reality.

Girl…you literally have to put your records on. Girl pleeeeease put your records on. The records? Girl… put them ON.

Happy birthday, handsome!

I'm going to be really annoyed if the end credits of my life doesn't feature a Bollywood-style dance number.

You and me, but we're little Star Wars creatures:

I *do* get it, but I also think being anti-religious is antithetical to a healthy progressive movement.

And I am so genuinely sorry for the hurt you experienced at the hands of the church.

I experienced a bit of "conversion therapy lite" but thankfully nothing to that degree.

None of that erases any of the real harm that has been done in the name of Christianity--but it does make it hard and inadvisable to paint with a broad brush.

But Christianity is not monolithic. There are progressive denominations that are full of queer people. Christianity played a huge role in the civil rights movement. A lot of the people standing up to ICE across the country (including Renee Nicole Good) have been Christians.

I don't think it is a magical get out of jail card at all. Those are all very fair and valid critiques. Christianity--or any religion, really--can be used for good or for ill.

I think the difference is that anti-christian biases are a lot more common than anti-white or misandrist views. The latter two seem to be conservative bogeymen--while the former gets posted on bluesky fairly frequently and seems to get a pass by a lot of progressives.

hot take, but yes

Yes--it's a YouTube thumbnail I found on Google Images.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

So cool! I love it!

I believe in you!

Now if only I could start believing in myself. 😅

Crystal Skull is more totally consistent than Temple, but Temple has better action set pieces.The mine cart chase is still such a marvel!

I think it's probably tied with Temple of Doom for me (behind Raiders and Crusade, of course).

The 5th film was kind of a mess. I still enjoyed Harrison Ford's performance, but the film is definitely the weakest in the series.

And I LOVED that they brought back Karen Allen. Marion was always the best of Indy's flames, and I love that she's more that just a brief cameo (which is all she got in the 5th film).

Yes! Cate Blanchett is such a fun villain!
