I remember when it happened. My crew in fifth grade made hay of it with the one white boy in our group, not quite grasping the irony of our contention that his identity put him at a disadvantage in our group of girls from 4 ethnicities and 3 other boys who were Black or multiracial.

Let’s make the Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence positions 10-year appointments fireable only by a 2/3 vote of Congress and add that last requirement to the FBI director’s term.
And limit Supreme Court justices to 10-year terms, as well.

Why are we featuring a man’s comments and picture when celebrating a woman’s accomplishments? 🤬

I had to read Creationist and Intelligent Design materials for my doctoral dissertation. The amount of cognitive dissonance one must endure to believe either (or both!) of those theologies would completely incapacitate me. Divergent Viewpoints 🤣🤪😂🤨

Oh, hell, NO. This is beyond ridiculous and offensive, too.

I’m sure at least one quiet part not said here is that adultery is always the woman’s fault. Also sure they wouldn’t let me exercise my right to be a preacher/pastor as my Christian faith allows me to be, including marriages of lesbian and gay couples and affirming all LGBTQIA+ folks.

Stop questioning the timing and motives of the Swalwell revelations. It takes a damned long time to summon the courage to go public with these stories. We don’t know how long CNN took to verify the details or what legal arrangements had to be made for their protection. #BelieveWomen

Because it takes a damned long time to gather the courage to speak up in a culture that automatically assumes that you have an ulterior motive for speaking up. CNN may have been validating this for months so it could be published cleanly.

Murtha, corrupt as he was, saved the city of Johnstown. He is neighboring rep, Bud Shuster, was his as bad. He managed to get funding for Interstate 99 out of west-east sequence through State College and Altoona, then named it after himself.

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.

And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

To be fair, the Mercury astronauts invented it back in the 60s. It just fell out of favor in 1972…

I was glad to have an event at my home church tonight so I couldn’t watch and worry. I prayed, instead!

All of the Roscosmos departures from the ISS have been land-based recoveries. Basically, everything from the end of the Shuttle program until SpaceX and then half or more since. SpaceX splashes down.

In 2024, when Easter and Day of Trans visibility coincided, I preached on this. Several people said it was a light bulb moment in their faith that made them even more committed to their LGBTQIA justice, inclusion, and affirmation work.

They understand. This is designed to scare anyone who isn’t a straight, cis, Christian white man out of enlisting because then They think They can program the military to be mindless White Nationalist robots.

Not all of us watched it live, but we certainly watched it in disbelief and sorrow on replay. We didn’t have live TV reception or cable in our school; I went home to get something during 3rd period and saw the first replay. I took the news back to my high school.

It’s the only reason I still pay for a full digital subscription. Otherwise I’d just get Cooking and Games.
