A simple guide to determine whether they're a Quaker: Horse and buggy? He's Amish Tiny bonnet and long flowing dress? She's a menonite. Isn't there only one of them? They're a Shaker Wears street clothes, likes tea, thinks a moment of silence should be a couple minutes? They're a Quaker

The superbowl Half Time show should remind everyone in the US fighting for freedom that there is resistance. There is hope. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it" —John 1:5 NRSVue. Art should inspire us, and that art inspires resistance

It's come to my attention that most Americans haven't read the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. That really shouldn't surprise me, but I assumed since Americans revere those documents so much we would've all read them. I suppose in that way it's they're like the Bible for Christians.

Have you ever been to a silent protest? I highly recommend it if you haven't and you probably haven't. It is incredibly powerful. I'm a Quaker, so I'm obviously biased but I think you'll find the strangeness of a silent protest is really impactful.

Just a reminder that Trump trying to anex Greenland is a standard Trump distraction. Not that we shouldn't take it seriously, but there's other things we should be paying attention to. Like the Senate conformation hearings, or the TikTok, or the shameless corruption of Trump's impending White House

Three flags I designed for Quakerism. First is an adaptation of the FGC logo. Second is the Quaker Star. I recolored it white from the traditional red and black to simplify and make the symbolism clearer. Finally, I took the candle from NEYM logo and added the Halo from QEW, symbolizing the light.

A little biblical wisdom from Psalms, NRSVue The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil,

I'm so tired of pundits and politicians saying "this isn't who we are as a country" when it manifestly is. Have they never paid attention to any news or history? Two different people tried to assassinate Trump THIS YEAR. Is it really surprising that someone assasinated a health insurance CEO?

The United States president is just the guy who figures out how to follow the orders of Congress. Think about that for a moment. When you strip back all the pomp and circumstance, the president is no god king, just the guy working night shift at reception dealing with a double booked hotel room.
