birthday! at the pottery studio 🥳 (Also: finally glazed some pots! Got some lovely drips that miraculously stayed off the kiln shelf, too) #pottery #handmade #clay

I signed up to do church coffee hour today, because I LOVE baking for Valentine’s Day. Which is funny because my husband and I have never done much for it! But I love a theme, so. I made probably the prettiest sugar cookies I’ve ever made, and hidden-heart cake. And blondies.

Can’t let today go by without posting this, of course. One of my favorites of their songs! (I… am neither rested nor ready this year, clearly.) #theavettbrothers #februaryseven m.youtube.com/watch?v=rkVM...

This.

Jesus never called his followers to defend Christianity, a “Christian nation,” or even their Christian churches. Jesus called them to defend the poor, the oppressed, and the hurting. Stop manipulating Jesus for the benefit of a few. Get to feeding, healing, and peacemaking.

Now you got your answer about whether Rs are standing idly by watching or helping Musk and there you go

can we stop infantilizing awful white men and pretending that dudes in their 20s are like little babies playing pretend at being evil freaks instead of. uh yknow. evil freaks

it really is appropriate to view this as potentially the biggest privacy and cybersecurity scandal in American history

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

Media : why were people cheering for Luigi People :

ALL arguments against trans healthcare are based solely on religious bigotry. Period. Numerous studies determined transitioning is beneficial for kids too, puberty blockers are safe, etc. Cis allies, we NEED you to be LOUD about this. Healthcare is a basic right for EVERYONE.

This is the difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2. First time around, all his cronies were named stuff like Joey Macaroni and wanted to commit tax fraud and go on Dancing With The Stars. This time, they have names like John Hitlerfuhrer and have spent the last 15 years blogging about phrenology.

We're not naming adults now because they're so young as to make their appointments embarrassing?

we really need to figure out how to get these distributed IRL tbh

💕Hearts hearts hearts! 💕 I love the Valentine’s Day aesthetic, for some reason, so my pottery is all hearts this time of year 🥰 This platter will get underglaze added to the hearts once it’s been bisque fired!

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I’m sorry but this is such obvious goldfish-brained nonsense that ironically enough I find it impossible to assume that it is offered in good faith.

Also if you're one of the people reporting Palestinians trying to stay alive, fix your hearts. What the fuck is wrong with you.

People are gonna nitpick this, but it's good advice. Don't let your in-house lawyers cow you into throwing away programs that work. There's always a way to do the right thing.

👇🎯 “Guys, he’s going to do an authoritarianism” “But that’s unconstitutional” “Like monetizing the presidency?” “Sure, but he’d never do <that>” “Like he’d never get away with treason?” “It wasn’t <really> treason” “Like he’d never get away with a coup?” “<Technically> it was an autogolpe” 🤔

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

A bit of context: Judge Coughenour didn't do this because he is rabidly anti-Trump or a progressive activist Judge. This is how he reacts whenever his BS detector goes off, in all kinds of cases. He's like this when he judges law school moot court competitions!

this entire thread is really thoughtful and important, but particularly as it follows on from here:

This is something I really believe in. Masking in public—especially places like the supermarket or the doctor’s office, spaces everyone needs to be able to access—is really important.

Someone in my IG comments just said, “Franklin has drunk the Kool-Aid and called it communion.” I can’t remember the last time I heard a line as perfect as that one.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

How’s that ‘restore free speech’ thing going one day in? More seriously: if this goose-stepping authoritarianism is what some American politicians think is justified after a mildly critical sermon… then saying that people are frightened and making a plea for mercy in God’s name seems justified.

I'm going to repeat this because it's getting lost in the more popular clip being the salute. ELON REFERENCED THE 14 WORDS AFTER HE DID IT. "It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured" is an allusion to the 14 words. There is ZERO debate about his intentions. He said it himself.

I wrote about the fascist party that's taking power, the deepest natural laws that they oppose, the ways that this opposition renders them fundamentally, illegitimate no matter what power they hold, and what that means for all of us. www.the-reframe.com/the-moon-is-...

this is the best possible way I've ever seen anyone describe the pretzel knots into which white people tie themselves to avoid calling a racist thing racist when it happens right in front of them because the picture in their head of what the word "racist" means is from like a 4th grade history book

A version of Christianity that tramples the poor and marginalized in favor of the rich and powerful is a religion completely at odds with the teachings of Jesus.

The cool thing about this is that you no longer have to wonder how you'll say or do either of these, this isn't a theoretical exercise anymore.

Bible verses condemning trans folks: 0 Bible verses about welcoming migrants: 33 Bible verses about advocating for peace: 429 Bible verses about loving God and others: 714 Bible verses about taking care of the poor: 2000+ There are absolutely no "biblical" grounds for being anti-trans.

Important perspective in this thread.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.
