Crazy that I'm about to do 4 hours of therapy with clients who may or may not care what's happening

I'd like to live in a world where nobody got shot, ever

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

My friend discovered this today and said they gave him no issue! They did bring him only the flu vaccine and he said "I'm getting COVID too!" And the worker clicked a button, got him the COVID vaccine, no problems

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death

guy handing money to JK Rowling "K*ll every trans person" - JKR "I'm an ally, I just really like Harry Potter!" - guy

this is what you look like as a Harry Potter fan in 2025

The more people own cars, the more our society is built on the expectation that people will own cars, and the more people who do own cars insist that they can't do without them, and the more people who don't own cars are treated as an afterthought & an inconvenience.

It’s wild to me that Christians read the verses that say “do not fear” and “do not be anxious” in the tone of stern commands with implied consequences for failure, rather than a compassionate recognition of the fear endemic to our human condition and a gentle reminder that our Father loves us

It is a holy, weekly declaration that violence does not win. That the broken body is not the end of the story. That the hungry are meant to be fed, not forgotten. That those the world discards are not disposable—they are the very presence of Christ.

Every Eucharist is a protest against a world that devours the vulnerable.

IT SHOULD BE HARDER TO GAMBLE

I would once again like to complain about the ridiculous rules about buying real Sudafed, which mean you can only buy it when the pharmacy is open and not, say, right now.

There should be something like TSA Precheck where you can be certified as Not a Meth Dealer and get it from a vending machine.

Like they hyperanalyze every interaction and assume the worst because of their dads.

It's made worse because I'm gay and they aren't but I'm blaming straight men for straight men's problems

Both of my sisters have straight boy partners who love me, make (benign) jokes about sexuality, and then panic text me three hours later to ask if I'm mad. It really does make me sad for them and also it's because their straight dads get mad over nothing and then scream at them or ignore them

This is actually just 21 atheists fighting

At this point my assumption until proven otherwise is that everyone still using Twitter is a white supremacist

(Yes, there are problems with this degree of gatekeeping transition but I'm taking my wins where they come)

A fun little reminder that much of America is actually okay with "kids + their parents + medical and mental health professionals work together to make the best possible choice"

Today my mom (conservative homeschooling Christian mom of 8, paramedic) said, "Well I think we disagree about medical transition for kids" and so I reviewed best practice in gender affirming care and she went "Oh, maybe we don't disagree"

Met all the requirements for graduation on Thursday. Today at church, two people asked if I'd started working out, one complimented my outfit, and my priest said, "You seem more alive than I've ever seen you" so I guess the relief looks good on me

The whole internet loves Chicago Pope, a Chicagoan who’s been elected Pope! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the Pope is Catholic

one thing I go absolutely crazy for is countdown-as-narrative-framing. you open your book with "182 days before," I'm hooting and hollering in the stands

I don't know why it took me so long but I finally downloaded Libby to my phone, and so I get library AUDIOBOOKS on my phone.

On demand. Whenever I want them. For free.

1. Libraries so awesome
2. THE WORLD IS MY OYSTER.

My sister and I are now both in care professions and talked about this the other day. We were raised to "Follow Jesus even with a gun to our head" and now we're insistent on providing care to trans or undocumented people whatever the political pressure... evangelicals made us this way

recession indicator: adding a new Marina Diamandis song to my library

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

It's high 60s/low 70s and I just drove back from the office blasting "Songs to Sing in the Shower"

Am I the only one singing “Let’s have a conclave,” to the tune of “Let’s have a kiki?”
