Washington Post is reporting that the US Gov't program to send free COVID tests to households will be shut down tonight, and the remaining tests destroyed. If you haven't already ordered yours in the latest batch (autumn 2024's) it's super quick & easy, price $0.00 covidtests.gov

We’re doing an “imitation exercise” in my writing class, and I’m at the point where I am questioning the choice to attempt some sort of imitation of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” Whyyyyyy did I do this to myself?

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

“A new analysis by independent automotive blog FuelArc suggests that fire fatalities are 17 times more likely in a Cybertruck than in the infamous Ford Pinto — the posterchild deadly cars if ever there was one.”

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

We are actually living in a time where some Christians see mercy as offensive, empathy as a sin, and diversity, equity, and inclusion as a threat. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” -Isaiah 5:20 Lord, have mercy.

It’s a coup.

"Today, tomorrow & always the fluidity of our expression & experiences will live on. Trans & non-binary siblings are made in the image of God – period." -Rachael Ward, Gender & Sexuality Justice Ministries, UCC 🏳️‍⚧️ Statement & care practices: ow.ly/t6oX50ULwus

I recently attended a workshop where they talked about this and I absolutely was the embarrassing elder crying in front of the room about how I never could of imagined this wonderful world changing news back as a teen in thick of crisis.

Utter bullshit

Chicago Legal Responders Network has produced a series of short videos about what to do if ICE shows up at your house, stops you while driving, etc. Available in Spanish and English. Please share with those who may find them useful. Here's what to do if they show up at your house.

Well, today's the day I pair @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social's poem on Joan of Arc with Billie Eilish's What Was I Made For and a story about a three-piece suit when only two pieces fit. #Sermonating

An occasional reminder that I created a starter pack of progressive UCC (USA) clergy. If you fit the parameters, ask me to add you to the list. If you are interested in what this group might say, go ahead and follow us (individually or as a whole group): go.bsky.app/LTahk8u

In all of Night Agent’s training, could they not have found someone who could teach him how to run properly? Peter Sutherland has the worst form of any runner I’ve ever seen.
