This year I’m art journaling through Lent

librarians have long had concerns about replacing print with digital. You cannot own digital textbooks and journals, you only rent access, and the contents can be changed without your awareness. The US gov is now erasing the history of minorities from its sites. Textbooks will follow.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

King Charles sent Trump a personal invitation to Balmoral this week. He's literally our head of state and isn't supporting 🇨🇦 sovereignty. Not that I'm under the impression our monarch serves any purpose, but all he had to do was nothing, which most royals excel at.

My 7yo would only have touched the garlic bread. More tears have been shed over mealtime than any other issue in our household. You could offer him all the stickers, Pokemon cards, and cash; and he still wouldn’t eat a meatball.

Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:     Section 1.  Purpose

Not seeing enough coverage of yesterday's new executive order to create "a Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias." They'll be policing federal departments to make sure they conform. No bonus points for guessing which Christians think they're oppressed. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

My money’s on Detroit. Can’t make American cars without Canadian parts.

And Canada will be having an election before June with the Conservative Party projected to win, so things are moving to the right here as well

Good horror always provides good social commentary. This is the queer horror novel you need right now #booksky

It was an amazing display of courage when she knew exactly how extreme and swift the response would be from the MAGA mob.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Trump Demands Bishop Apologize for Asking for Mercy for the Marginalized Donald Trump demanded an apology from Washington National Cathedral Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde after she asked him to show mercy to the marginalized.
