All 4 DSA endorsed city council candidates, including Soren, won their seats

And disappointingly not gay

Imagine thinking the candidate endorsed by a democratic organization that is member funded, which since June filled over 1000 doorknock and phone bank shifts, and knocked on over 50,000 doors -- is run by consultants

Sounds about right

Y'all are not going to gaslight me into visiting those overpriced Nordic Villages at the Four Seasons this year

My town has one this weekend, as do 4 churches in my town. My church is doing one next weekend. And I can actually afford something there

I'm ready to put my Christmas stuff up now but now that I only see my mom twice a year, including for Thanksgiving week, I have to wait until she comes to put up Christmas stuff so it feels like I get two holidays out of the visit

With both the pope and the patriarch of the church of the east being from Chicago, when do we recognize it as the New Rome?

Fall is so pretty right now!

We left our former church for lots of reasons, but one of them was its massive debts due to low tithes while having millions in an endowment.

Anyway, just got their annual pledge ask -- to meet their budget for next year, they need 35% increase in giving from this year

Girl, bye 👋 💀

Our silver birch in our back yard is so pretty right now

Today, we volunteered at our church's community food distribution, which gives out 8000 lbs of food every month.

Thursday, we went to a fundraiser dinner for the food shelf our church started that gives out 74,000 lbs of food per week.

Our church knows how to live as Christ in the world

Hey! I'm in this!

Recently was asked by the Methodist pastor to fill the Recording Secretary position on the Church Council and I was digging through the drive to find the discussion and congregational survey around how we remerged the two services into one and boy do I not envy our pastor having had to navigate that

My city put forth a proposal to raise our taxes and the only post they made about it was linking to a news article that you had to have a paid subscription for to view 🙃

Thats what I also liked about Madam Secretary (and on a more extreme level, Scandal)

A lot of A24's indier stuff is too French film for my taste but they are putting out so many good indie films that the big studios should be paying more attention to

Its part of the literacy issue and their tech addiction

Windows trying to force copilot to make computers so you just talk at them instead of typing what you want will further this even more

Our first protest - Women's March 2018

Our most recent protest - No Kings 2025

The march was badly planned but the vibe in the DSA section was great!

Me: showering just now

Husband walking into bathroom

Husband: So I was thinking about the Wesleyan Quadrilateral

😅

Almost one year since we adopted our dog

Literally global social media usage peaked in 2022 and is dropping among most age groups, especially 16-24 the most. Everywhere...except in North America where it has continued to rise unabated

He's so much more daddy than I realized 😳

Its the same nonsense from national Dems that say progressives/DSA/anti-zionist people are why Harris lost AND that our views are so marginal they can be ignored

As October kicks off, I just gotta say I am a much bigger fan of jocktober instead of locktober

As a POC BB Stan, I love that we continue the streak of no white winners since CBS implemented the 50% POC rule

Now that #BB27 has wrapped up, switching over to posting about #Survivor49

This was the only ending to redeem the season after Rachel's elimination

#BB27

I knew this was coming but getting 65% of the vote is crazy against Rachel

Ashley was always going to win over Vinny if he didn't own up to his lying, but she just lawyered her way to the win regardless
