Just wondering when Shady Vance is going to convert to Christian nationalism, now that the Catholics don’t want him anymore

It worries me, but it worries me the appropriate amount. It’s the same amount that it worries me that the president of the United States posted a photo of himself as the king on the White House website. Incredibly concerning. Also, doesn’t make you the king of America. .

I grew up in Brazil, where it was unsafe to have your car out of doors on a day when the other soccer team was playing, if your car was the wrong colors. I believe this will happen with Teslas at some point…

Please note, that RFK’s children are vaccinated, just like felon47’s children are all Ivy League educated. Cults Love a purity requirement – don’t put this in your body, in your mind, in your brain, on your children, or even in your hair.

The amount of sheer joy this brings me…..

When you’re celebrating your leader’s birthday… It’s a cult. Every single time.

Cults always hate medical care. If you're not already following @knittingcultlady.bsky.social, you really should.

Have been SCHOOLED (thankfully!) by Knitting Cult Lady, Daniella Mestyanek Young. Her bk ‘Uncultured’ is heavy but important reading for THIS moment in time, especially. A must-follow Well done, Capt, well done. a.co/d/7usGdGQ

When you see RFK Junior in the news, I want you to remember the cults hate medical care. Always. They hate medical care even when it impacts their operations. Because the cult always cares more about control than about successful operations.

Hey Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne division, as you were removing all books that mentioned slavery from your schools, did you take out the Bible?

Captain Mestyanek's weekly cult update @knittingcultlady.bsky.social Multiple things that she shares are important, informative and useful. Talking about useful skills and preppers, "there are 340 million of us, martial law is not feasible in America, go protest" youtu.be/TE45ZOPunhU

Pete Hosbreath is the guy who holds you down for the gang rape. #militaryrapeculture

“The army can’t be a cult because it pays benefits” Experts say this to me a lot… And yet I’ve never seen not one of their cult definition lists that includes “doesn’t pay benefits to ex members “

A few great phrases from the podcast Hey White Women: Are you cosplaying slavery!?! The glorification of suffering "Grindset"? Ew. Gotta center yourself so you don't center yourself Community reduces cultability @knittingcultlady.bsky.social #thewhitewomanwhisperer #heywhitewoman

I’m done fighting with AA, and Mormons, and Seventh-day Adventist, and Jehovah’s Witnesses, and evangelicals, and the United States military. Fine, I won’t call you a cult. But I’m here picking up the pieces of the people you have destroyed,

money talks. And what it’s telling me right now is that y’all can scream. “the Democrats are a cult, too!” But I wasn’t selling 50 to 200 signed cult books every single day when the Democrats were in office. 🫡🫡🫡 . a.co/d/67XQnCc

"Black people were human The Whole Time" #thewhitewomanwhisperer @knittingcultlady.bsky.social

So fun to be the VA for my healthcare, just wondering which of my male colleagues don’t think of me as an equal human.

Interviewing Captain Daniella Mestyanek Young on her research into cults and her experience in the US army. @knittingcultlady.bsky.social My storytelling podcast, The Gabriela Houston Project is available on YouTube and Spotify!

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA. We all urgently need “unamerican” by Daniella Mestyanek Young, scholar of Extremism. (Also I loved “uncultured” and can’t wait for “Culting of America”.) Get it on patreon @knittingcultlady.bsky.social www.patreon.com/collection/5...

Having to tell your mama that “yes, Osama bin Laden has been killed. “and “no that does not mean I come home from deployment tomorrow, I’ll see you in eight months.” Is a very specific kind of trauma bond that I think only about 150,000 of us share y’all !

"Cults pop up in times of social turmoil." - @knittingcultlady.bsky.social

Started listening to @knittingcultlady.bsky.social 's book Uncultured today. Given *gestures to everything going on* it might be a helpful guide to understanding our situation a little more clearly. #booksky #books #reader #cults #uncultured #memoir

What Elon Musk is doing, is trying to run the government with tactics out of the cult of entrepreneurship. That payout thing? Straight out of the cult of Zappos. By the way their “motto” is “move fast and break things”

It’s gonna be so interesting when the Christian national is coming for the Catholics. They always forget, they’re not considered “real Christians”

You know, it’s gonna be funny? What are they gonna do without DEI now they just have to admit that we are better than them.
