My latest radio story takes us to New Vrindaban, West Virginia. It’s a Hare Krishna community in the state’s northern panhandle, best know for its opulent Palace of Gold. But this story ain’t about that. I went to see the kitchens of New Vrindaban.

Read the whole thing, but in short: when a judge issues a civil contempt order, law enforcement (in federal cases, the U.S. Marshalls) works for the courts and no one else.

A 19-year-old West Virginia resident with intellectual disabilities, for example, was not able to start a job at Goodwill on Monday because a nonprofit group that facilitates employment had not received the federal grant money it requested last week.

I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he relentlessly argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

Sometimes, when I open my front door, I find a little aluminum pie plate there on my front step. But it's not from Door Dash or Uber Eats — it's the ugly leftovers from my neighbor Kim Kerr's cinnamon roll business. (They might look ugly but they taste amazing.)

i try to be an optimist but good lord if this bird flu thing pops off 1. nobody's working from home, 2. no schools will be canceled, 3. nobody's wearing a mask, 4. nobody's developing a vaccine and 5. lots of people are going to die and somehow it will be joe biden's fault.

If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom: “God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Luke 1:52-53

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

I'm seeing a LOT of memes and comics and quotes venerating David Lynch for his TWIN PEAKS quote "Fix their hearts or die," but not nearly enough about the context. His character was expressly ordering people to support and respect a trans co-worker (played by David Duchovny). Couldn't be timelier.

when all the dei programs are gone and the schools are no longer “woke” and they’ve cut gov’t spending to the bone and we’ve deregulated everything do you think people will finally realize their lives still suck, and politicians sold them out to enrich themselves?

we need to bring back bookmark internet over app internet. instead of opening the same 3 apps over and over we need a couple little websites we check every day. a blog or two. a webcomic. a niche news site. no algorithms, just some questionable web design choices.

ok all of that sucks but also … thomas jefferson? the guy who literally took a pair of scissors to his bible to remove all of Jesus’s miracles because he didn’t like all the supernatural stuff? not exactly a spiritual role model. for that … and, yknow, the slave owning stuff.
