A for me
"Each life is a pilgrimage intended to arrive at the center of the pilgrim’s soul. From that vantage point, the issue is not whether we managed to choose the right god or the only way to live righteously; such notions fail to recognize the inborn intimacy each soul already has with the divine."
"You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope." ~ Thomas Merton
And the earth is not flat
That's what Dawn dish soap is best for. :)
So sorry to hear this. Of all the timing for such a thing to happen. *sigh*
I love their use of DJT's signing off phrase. 😂
I totally get it
Your total non-DJT version of WT? for today
that there is
The world needs more men like this.
How did someone get this live-action video of me at my desk today? 😂
I had to retire my WTF-o-meter months ago. It blew up.
😂
Somehow I feel seen
🤣🤣🤣🤣 WTG, mom!
Hey, it's Tuesday!

Friends, I had a profound conversation on Bullseye with Jesse Thorn about my new graphic memoir, IT RHYMES WITH TAKEI. We discussed my years in the closet, the AIDS crisis, and today's injustices. Watch or listen on NPR: ow.ly/yEjw50Wo2fk Learn more about #ItRhymesWithTakei here: ow.ly/6tcc50WnZNy
It's beautiful!
Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview. Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.
Wow 😳
I have no words to describe how despicable that and this whole thing is.
Yup. Me too.
And combs his hair like You-Know-Who does.
I ... I... I have no words 😢

This fight is not over, and every single person that believes in equality, needs to continue being vigilant against hate. If your government, culture, religion, or personal beliefs do not support gender equality, it has no place in human society. It is against human nature, and decency ✌️🫶
She is a disgusting human being. I hope she's not "mentoring" children.

Not-so-brilliant Bill, every day free of an addiction that was destroying your life is worth celebrating. What's really not so brilliant Bill is the very blatant example of your lack of compassion and your need to belittle someone else.
Right?
Good morning, beloved. Every moment is a new opportunity to decide to stand for what is just. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.
Awesome! My only complaint so far is that we can't share photos or GIFS in the messenger part of the app.
Is it? Only if people are willing for it to be fixed. If not, it's like banging your head against a wall.
They really don't know what "suffering" is.
Thanks. I think i could have lived without that bit of detail. Some things should be private. 😳 I could say something else, but I don't want to be banned.
"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...
I would agree. The pattern on the left.
It’s amazing how much of American policy is rooted in making sure that nobody does to America what America did to America. The thing about injustice… is that you’ll never know peace until you do the work of repenting from its foundational place in your own ethos.
A but I like B, too
Wow! 😀
On this day 50 years ago, 8 men, mostly from around Daegu, were executed after the Supreme Court sentenced them to death in the 2nd Ppl’s Revolutionary Party incident. This was judicial murder. The regime fabricated the case, accusing the victims of plotting to overthrow the state on behalf of DPRK.
I think it's wonderful! You have such an easy voice to listen to. Very creative and soulful way of teaching.
My son was thrilled to see I had new print copies. It was neat to see his anticipation as he watched me sign it. He likened it to when he's at ComiCon waiting for an autograph from someone there. I'm no celebrity, but yesterday, it was clear that my son felt I was. (post-apoc/sci-fi/bit of rom)
Or makes the potash the need for their crops. Or makes the Viagra, of which the U.S. is the highest consumer.
This is the part that people are struggling to understand. The United States of America very literally exists as it does because Europeans had an insatiable appetite for things they could not get in Europe. Like… that’s what all the ships were for, beloved.
I needed to hear this. Maybe you do too. “Fear has a way of being contagious… courage is also contagious.” — Kamala Harris Man, I miss her.
I really needed a pick me up after discovering the rain over the last few days had flooded my basement ... and this was it. They're here!

Right? I don't get why people have to be so rude about it.

That was the last straw for me up until he disrespected Canada.
Don't worry about "WHAT IFs." That is the distraction. Worry about "WHAT IS."

It's a horror story that surpasses any one of your books.
Made the mistake of reading a Facebook comment and now I have Existential Thoughts. What if "adulthood" is not primarily concerned with punishing and punishment but with looking out for each other?
Let’s get in #goodtrouble today! 🩵😂🎀
Have fun!
If Putin really wanted peace, he could just pull out. 😏😒
There's a name for that ... tyranny. And yet so many see Cheatolini as the saviour of America. 🫣🙄😒😳
But apparently this is their definition of winning and restoring their economy. 🫣
This isn't just an "oops". I ... I don't have the words to describe the utter incompetency of everybody in this administration, including the two attorneys that You Know Who has just promoted.

Thank you for posting something positive today. :) we have to dig for these nuggets these days out only the detritus of the political stuff going on.
One act of kindness a day.

New podcast up with @bethallisonbarr.bsky.social ! What if "pastor's wife" has replaced ordination as the way that women can minister? And how, why, and when did this happen? Join us for this romp through history! youtu.be/_6NRMaKKxsY
Seems to me this has happened before. 😒
Once again ... I'm just speechless.... 😳
I thought I could retire my WTF-ometer. The continual "what's he done now" mindset most of us wake up with every morning is exhausting.
Some people will only love the version of you that doesn’t challenge them. Love yourself enough to grow anyway.
If you’ve ever felt compelled to say “I’m a Christian before I’m black,” your Christianity is shaped by whiteness. The same Christianity that 17th century colonial law used in contradistinction to negro. There is liberty beyond the gospel that those who hate you offer, beloved.
I kinda wonder the same thing about my next book, which I'm hoping to release by the end of the year. As a Canadian author, I'm actually investigating how I can expand my reach into Europe, and other places outside the U.S.
Classic projection of a narcissist.
So, what's going to happen to seniors in the meantime? They're not going to be able to get their medications and groceries? How inhumane is this?!
