The most Presidential person in our country right now may just be @hcrichardson.bsky.social. She just exudes strength, compassion, calm, and confidence in the ideals that have shaped our national conscience since the beginning.
None of us are so different after all,
separated by happenchance more
than anything than living, alone;
yet we do not know each other,
or if we do we do not know it,
hidden behind masks of shallow agreement
or avatars of outraged disagreement
that's not real.
A man died yesterday alone
in a stairwell in a parking garage,
lines of cars of people, alone;
I did not know him,
or if I did I did not know it,
but I know I've been only
the blade-edge of a scalpel away
from him.
It's incredible to me how many people look to Trump as their pastor (regardless of their insistence that they don't)
Since the rapture is making the rounds again, here's a poem about it I published a couple months ago. Maybe we should reframe how we think about the rapture.
Where is the modern American equivalent of the Confessing Church? Where do you see a united, ecumenical resistance to the dangerous Christian nationalism infecting our country?

We need more activist pacifists in this damn country
Rude of them, honestly
Lolol don't tell that to retailers
A screenshot of a conversation on Threads where I reminded pastors that Christmas is coming, then a pastor said they have their pyrotechnics license all lined up, then I said "Little Drummer Boy be like" followed by a gif of a scary clown person blowing fireworks off of its body
Doing some of my best work over on Threads right now, tbh
I just checked the word count on the first draft of my manuscript, and I crossed the 100k word mark today!! Still a long ways to go on it, but this makes it feel... more real somehow.
Just a reminder: Russia influenced the 2016 election, and Trump was probably involved in criminal obstruction. The only reason he wasn't prosecuted was because he controlled the DOJ at the time.

Trump is so low-energy. Someone should probably check on him to make sure there are no medical issues making him so Sleepy.
Executive orders are silly and should carry no weight whatsoever
"Deregulation" is code for exploitation, and it usually involves racism or other forms of caste-ism.
Could this discrepancy be due to the social norm of American individualism, a la Jesus and John Wayne?
tbh, I don't think Trump's base CARES whether he's in the Epstein files or not
they'd see his name in there with their own two eyes and just cheer him on all the more
Remember the beige suit controversy??
Anyone else getting a bunch of random new followers and likes on old content over the last few days?
Painting, but with words
instead of paint.
Same beauty, though;
same emotion.
The gospel of Jesus Christ looks very, very little like capitalism.
We're gonna need to rebrand ice (the H2O kind) now. How's the ring of "freeziwater" for you?

I think what's really freaking people out is that most Americans under 40 already have
I'm probably delightfully average at 5'10"
They know what they're doing bucks popular sentiment. They know their vote actively harms their everyday constituents.
They're not public servants; they're grifters who have to jump through a few more hoops.
Our democracy is broken. Our voices don't matter.
