Iridescent on my beach walk. #Chicago

On my beach walk. 🧘🏻‍♂️

You don't get to claim "the Word" while mocking the very foundation of what Jesus personally laid down. We do not pray to the pope or other saints, rather it is like asking a friend to pray for you. The papacy has outlasted empires and it will outlast every single US President.

To my Protestant and Evangelical friends who are silent about the president attacking the Pope and an entire Christian religion. The 226th Pope has been a successor to Peter for 2,000 years--"on this rock I will build a church."

The Latin letters we use in English sometimes have different sounds (H=N, C=S, etc).
Note: this is the dative, genitive and nominative cases--I still have three more cases to learn! 😭😅 The good news is I'm going to stick with these for the next couple of months and practice sentences.

Intermedate level: I now know 22 pronouns across three different cases in Russian--I, you, he, she, they, etc. that we use everyday. 👏🏻 It's 30, really, because they change depending on their job in the sentence: *who* is doing what, *for whom* and *to whom.*

Context matters. Bringing a loud, localized tradition to interrupt an American pop concert isn’t "sharing culture"--it’s just socially tone-deaf, ear-piercing and out of place for this setting. Respect goes both ways. #SabrinaCarpenter

LGB not LGBT! If a person changes sex, then they would identify as a straight woman (or man). They are no longer in the gay or bisexual community. It's common sense.

I love that you added the s. It's like in Chicago when we say we're going to the Jewels (Jewel). 🙃

This is from one of the most serious magas I know. For many of his supporters faith is their identity and this is woeful to them. The (serious) "come Jesus come." 😬

Slowly coming out of hibernation. #Chicago

BYE

This soft music and sap story bout to make me throw up. #Survivor50. I never liked these--I want cutthroat!

How many times are they going to say that chain restaurant?? #Survivor50 😐

Tonight's episode of #Survivor50 :
Every contestant has to say Billie Eilish at least once. And a 3-minute advertisement for a mid chain restaurant.

#ConversionTherapy is the opposite of medical treatment--it is medical malpractice (APA, AMA). Medicine exists to help patients, not advance religious beliefs...and being gay is not a belief; it is a person.

So the funny thing about leaving that Uber driver who spoke Russian is that I said "Добрый день," which means good day. Except... That is a greeting. So when I was leaving I was basically saying the English equivalent of, "bye, good afternoon!" 😭

A happy surprise when I got a message from my Uber driver that said "где вы?" I really had a Russian driver! It was just so nice to see my studies and real life collide. I only spoke a few sentences in Russian to him, but it was great to speak to an actual Russian instead of using AI to study. 😊 👏🏻

Glad to have some outside time in #Chicago

It was literally like 3 minutes after! 😆 Yes!

Coach is so cringe. Like Stephanie. Can there be a double vote out? #Survivor50

Siberian squill. It's so nice to go out and see life returning. 💠

Happy to find some beach glass. I don't see much of it these days, maybe people go earlier to collect them. ⛱️☀️💚

On my beach walk and I thought this was pretty. Looks like a bird landing. #Chicago

That's okay it was a good time to eat my Chinese food cuz I'm not watching that. Let's get back to the backstabbing.

Jeff: can anybody guess who it is?
How nobody knew Zac Brown band. 😭 Except that one girl whose name I don't know. #Survivor50

💀

Vote out MAGA Stephanie!
