Mmm, germ spread in congregate settings, so glad disease has never affected military readiness...
The pneumonia/measles at end of WWI permanently disabled some military members around the time the 1918 flu was also spreading.
Maybe Pete should see what contagion can do.

*nudge* I'm really sorry, but this situation has turned into a disaster and we're looking at losing the whole paycheck to the bill and the overdraft fees next week if things get any worse. So, I have to busk more obnoxiously than usual.
Are there no production companies looking for a subtle, compelling biopic or miniseries on Frances Perkins?
None?
WE NEED A PERKINS PRODUCTION.

Wow wow wow.

Why is there Paris Hilton "That's Hot" coffee creamer.
Hmm, find a glass of milk and a live wildlife cam? Watch some Artemis imterviews?

People tried to scam insurance by dressing up as a bear and wrecking luxury cars.
"Investigators then took the video to biologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to also look at the video. The biologists said, 'it was clearly a human in a bear suit.'"

I'm hearing that someone stood and was the only one to stand, and to that I say, well done.
Someday this guy will be alone in an elevator and Savannah Guthrie will get on.
I don't think they have obscure favorite Bible verses quoted in classic murder mysteries, either...(sits back in gleeful anticipation)
This. Is. BANANAS.
I want documentary evidence of over a century's worth of deep presidential yearning for a White House ballroom.
I would also like to amend "top secret military installations" to "formerly top secret."
Basic visual timeline of transnational far-right figures/travel/$/events for overall development post-2016, with reference to Bannon's activities he references in Epstein files,
and then a few Hungary travelogue tidbits. What's a good Hungarian snack or beverage when crowds are singing jubilantly?
So we're spending how much to bomb Iranian schoolgirls while leaving an ally in the lurch while it defends itself from invasion.

Ah, apologies, just saw you asked if there were mentions of the movements, not if there were movements.
OH and 1700s - Rebecca Protten, formerly enslaved in Caribbean, became a Moravian preacher.
Moravians were/are kind of un-Calvinist. Big influence on Methodism.
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON A MAP.
Early 20thC: there's multidirectional influence, pacifism, arrests, a showdown with young Churchill, Japanese Quaker influence, Rev Florence Spearing Randolph AND MORE.
But if you mean 1700s, in England, John Wesley's mom had a showdown w/her husband over her preaching.
Depends on century.
There were Methodist women lay preachers in England & US by early 1800s for instance.
Don't get me started on transnational women's movement of early 1900s dovetailing w/women preachers & ordained women pastors from around the globe, it's a fascinating candy store of delight.
(People in US and England DID NOT love the Salvation Army. Bricks and rocks thrown, rotten produce and eggs, mobs on one hand, arrest on the other. Including toward women, during Victorian era.)
Anyway obviously I could keep going 😆 but yes American religious landscape was fascinating!
In late 1800s, Methodist-off-shoot Salvation Army preachers landed in the US, and many women Salvationist preachers were arrested in towns/cities across the country.
Salvation Army is active in US due to a teenager named Eliza Shirley who used to street preach with her mom.
(Revivalistic offshoot of Methodism.)
Anyway, there's a great newspaper clipping from 18...40s? from an Abolitionist paper that includes meeting minutes/summary, & three women preachers engaged in discussion w/men - Black Methodist Jarena Lee; Sojourner Truth; & a white Quaker woman.
Some of all this is background for a current favorite tidbit: I've ID'd multiple women who preached in 1910s-30s in...Moscow, Idaho.
Current home of CREC pastor, enslavement-justifier, anti-19th amendment, and Pentagon guest speaker theocrat Doug Wilson.
Some were Nazarene...
(Kate Shellnut recently mentioned significant % of those who ID as evangelical *but don't ID as religious or church goers* ID as evang bc they encountered the term at political events they supported and adopted it via political exposure but w/out actual religious context.)
"Evangelical" is still used as an academic term, re: Protestant church history/theology, but pragmatically it's used so many ways almost all require unpacking- voting bloc? marketing demo? Calvinist/Reformed/Baptist? Pietist/Methodist? Majority-white? Hispanic, Korean, or Black?
