Praise the Bell. The bell is god.
It feels a little off to keep posting about my forthcoming book while people are being blown to pieces by power-hungry despots - the contrast leaves me constantly feeling dissonant. Still, I'm really proud of what I've written, and I hope it's a small way I can add value to this beautiful world.
It helps that she’s also an incredible human being!

I recast Trump's next alleged girl victim's testimony first-personally based on four formal FBI interviews that were just released in the Epstein files (having been previously mysteriously missing). It's time for anyone who can afford to do so to listen katemanne.substack.com/p/the-story-...
Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.
Men: What a scary time for men this is.
Chag Purim Sameach, my friends who celebrate!
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Grateful to share my thoughts on Purim, Esther, and trauma @baptistnews.com. baptistnews.com/article/reim...
Thread of Purim stuff:
What if we think about Lilith and Vashti and Esther and Eve in terms of archetypes and what that can illuminate for us for making change:

A girls' elementary school. Dozens dead. Perhaps hundreds. Sitting with the profound evil and the mindfck and the knowledge that this war may well have been declared to distract us from the Epstein files and the conspicuously missing evidence that the president of this nation raped 13 year-old girls

go on about ancient contraceptives and say "cervix" & "menstruation" again & again?
cannot be taken anywhere can i
