I just learned that there is an X-rated 2005 movie called "Witches of Breastwick" where Stormy Daniels (yes that Stormy Daniels) plays a character called Felicia Day. So, that's how Tuesday's going.

Many childhood abuse survivors try hard not to feel yet feelings are the expression of the wounds of the heart, and they need to be seen and heard. Tears require strength and courage because they mean facing pain.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

BREAKING: Gateway Church Founder Robert Morris surrendered to authorities in Oklahoma this morning on child sex charges. He is now free on $50K bail bond. julieroys.com/robert-morri...

Our breaking story about Gateway Founder Robert Morris being indicted on child sex charges is now avail on video “This case is all the more despicable because the alleged perpetrator was a pastor who exploited his position," said OK Attorney General Gentner Drummond www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOlm...

1. Trump declares tariffs that tank the stock market. 2. Trump and Musk buy cheaper stocks. 3. Trump rescinds tariffs, reviving the stock market. 4. Trump and Musk sell more expensive stocks.

In 2009 GOP Member of Congress Joe Wilson screamed “you lie” during Obama’s SOTU. No censure by the GOP, only “reprimanded” by Dems At Biden’s SOTU 2022 Lauren Boebert and MTG heckled him, nothing.. But Dems will happily throw their Black colleague under a bus for white moderate voter pandering

please? i am stressed & in pain. i can't receive post-op care if i don't stick to the payment agreement. i'm running out of food. i have no medication (10 doses missed). i'm drowning.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

If people send their tax money to a gov’t in which their elected representatives have no control over how that tax money is spent (because the executive has taken over that role), then isn’t that “taxation without representation?” I seem to remember a historical event inspired by something like that

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

“Can we claim to be people of the resurrection if we love frugally or are meticulous and miserly in service? When we act in fear of judgment or exclusion, are we animated by the resurrection?” #lent #Devotional Preorder now to get it in time for Lent. amzn.to/3CciQ3a

This one is hard for some of us: “To follow Jesus means more than accepting certain claims about him as truth. It also... means we follow his path... that leads away from the pursuit of control and coercive power.” #lent #Devotional Preorder now to get it in time for Lent. amzn.to/3CciQ3a.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Another hot take courtesy of my mom from many years ago: “We probably wont know when the rapture happens because churches will still be full. “ Betty Jo was a bit of a prophet.

Mutual Aid Request Ok, shifting Request to one for ongoing meal help. $25. MAGA roommate is being evicted. We've been warned not to share common areas w/ her for safety. She's potentially dangerous. Cooking may be hard awhile. 💸💕 V: Annaleigh-Watts CA: $annaleighmaria PP: AnaleeWatts

I’ve got a lot of hot takes in me and really should start blogging again, but here goes one I meant to drop last night after listening to some cds that I pulled out of storage back in November. 1/2

The only time Trump freed more terrorists than tonight was the time he agreed to let 5,000 Taliban prisoners go free.

“Our ego demands acknowledgment... The image of God within us...invites us to resist the ego's demands. Whenever we choose other-centered, co-suffering love, it's a little death for the ego.” #Devotional www.WalkingOtherward.com Ebook available for preorder now. Paperback available later this week

Maybe consider not saying "It's just stuff" to people who have lost their homes.

It wouldnt be a New Year without a new need. If you can, please help me ensure I can keep going to work. TIA! gofund.me/53979ac9

30 years ago today, a “little ignorant girl from Birdtown” got on an airplane for the first time to go to Lackland Air Base for Air Force basic training. It was a wild 8-year ride. #AimHigh

Instead of a mindset change of “I get to ____” instead of “I have to ____,” consider saying “I don’t have keep _____ because it is not allowing me to flourish.” It is much better to be completely honest about something than gaslighting yourself to try to appease a type of prosperity gospel. 1/2

Every time a Christian rails against migrants, the foundation of their ire isn’t partisan, though it is expressed via a partisan machine. The root of their position is fear. They run from the weight of picking up Christ’s Cross and living as His ambassador. Selfishness make men into cowards.

And yet here we are.

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

A bunch of cry baby billionaires who never served in the military want to force millions of our troops to go without pay at Christmas. But do go on about the price of eggs won’t you.

What we are seeing today, and what we will see vividly in the months to come, is what happens when unloved and awkward men of great wealth and far greater narcissism are allowed to vent their profound and constant internal pain by wrenching the levers of power until they break off.

Elon Musk says Democrats should take the blame for the new Republican bill failing, but Republicans control the House. 38 Republicans voted against the new bill. Republicans tanked their own bill.

Lots of bloggers are wondering if blogging is dead now that Google is leaning into a zero-click experience with AIOs and all the different features that answer searches right on the page. The short answer is no. The longer one: but you need change it up. 🧵1/6

My youngest left today to go be an adult. 😭

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
