The truth is that for my whole life, the friendships I formed outside church were always kinder and more genuine than those inside the church.

God comes by for a good time, but you say “hide me in a rock so I can watch you pass by as antimatter”

An excellent thread about fascism and the aesthetics of fascism.

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing.
