What’s wrong, babe? You haven’t touched your Eggo-brand alcoholic Appalachian sippin’ cream

As a US citizen I want nothing more than for Canada to win the 4 Nations. I didn't think ready for all of my fellow citizens acting like a US win would signal some kind of moral victory.

guys idk what to say at this point I'm just alternating through laughter shock and malaise. I guess I'm trying to atay informed but also disconnect and love myself and my neighbor. So anyways Greenland will never be called by this monstrosity of a name. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

if i text you this just know you’re cooked

As a process Christian and 49ers fan, this Superbowl result is proof that God can't work singlehandedly, but can work through and with anyone.

KENNY PICKETT GETTING GARBAGE TIME IN THE SUPERBOWL AGAINST THE CHIEFS OMG

Thoughts and prayers to all the lifelong Taylor Swift fans it must be hard watching your favorite team go 1/2 in subsequent Superbowls.

trans people are pretty great pass it on

Pete Enns one of the real ones who can title something "Pimping the Bible" and leave me with a lil inspiration. open.substack.com/pub/peteenns...

Idk man, I'm literally still just doing my best and faking the rest

people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

Jesus told his followers to expect persecution—not because they were loudest, but because they stood with the least of these. If you’re aligning with power, you’re not the one being persecuted.

“Fuck” is an entire prayer

I can't deny that things are really fucking shitty right now, like all over. But someone just reminded me: "A lot of great things can grow out of shit." I hope that little agricultural metaphor helps you out today.

I still believe this: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

"I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others." Bishop Budde is my new favorite person. time.com/7209222/bish...

This is the soul of Christianity: speaking truth to power and standing for the marginalized at great personal risk.

Fair warning: The Beam is the only thing keeping me sane right now, so if the Kings don't find a way to shut down Curry and defend the 3 I might go off the rails tomorrow.

I'm not a theologian, but I don't think denaturalizing citizens is what Jesus meant when he said "love your neighbor as yourself."

Shoutout to all my people whose first political memory is our parents being furious with Clinton for lying to the American people about a sexual encounter and now we find ourselves trying to find ANY shared sense of morality and ethics with the same parents who are now MAGA'd to their fuckin gills.

So hold up, I had to censor my language growing up Christian and say shit like: -what the FRICK -HECK yeah -Oh myLANTA all to avoid the "appearance of evil" and not take the Lord's name in vain, but now you're cool with throwing up the hail Shitler and forgetting to swear on the Bible? Shocking.

Only using Bluesky for the foreseeable future, I guess now is a good time for a re-intro. When I'm not busy being a dad & software engineer or distracting myself with the 49ers/Kings/videogames/guitar, I rant about: -Clinging to what's left of my Christian faith -Leftist/ally/antiracist/woke shit

The Kingdom of God is like a health insurance policy with no premiums, deductibles, or copays. It's not tied to your employment, all pre-existing conditions are covered, and when you file a claim it gets automatically approved.

Oh look, the police are defending capital at the expense of a woman's civil liberties. how strange and unexpected. www.wfla.com/news/polk-co...

Born too late to buy Apple stock at IPO Born too early to be tiktok famous. Born just in time to give AI all my data and tell me my resume sucks

Lol the game is literally Among Us, what kinda headline even is this www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

So the guy who allegedly kicked off a large conversation about class struggle and the depravity of health insurance apparently comes from family money, has an advanced degree and high paying job, and isn't a self avowed leftist. Maybe capitalism really does hurt everyone after all.

The "Luigi has always been the real hero" crowd just got the biggest boost of their lives.
