Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

You can honor David Lynch by wearing a mask in public. He had to begin isolating at home because he has emphysema- a COVID infection would likely be fatal- and no one wears masks anymore. Millions of others like him (including myself) were left behind when COVID measures were abandoned

It's clear how people get an idea of an authoritarian, abusive parental deity from a lot Deuteronomy--even what we call the 2nd graf of the Shma. But: I don't actually believe that inserting prayer or deeds & getting rewards is how the world works. Do you? So what's a mature adult theology to do?

And it's time to stop prioritizing visibility over connection. We are entering an age when visibility will become extremely dangerous for some people. We shouldnt be doing a lot of things out in the open—especially not on an avid fascist's platform.
