The ADHD version is a punch card. 20th hyperfixation hobby is free! AuDHDers get both.

George Washington, notably, mandated smallpox inoculation for the Continental Army in 1777.

Good to see so many people in favor of recycling.

Tonight's an allies night. Join us?

This not only targets queer people, it also targets single people, unmarried partners, married couples with no children, and basically anyone who isn't in a heterosexual marriage with children

Duck and Cover, Telestrations, Kingdomino, Waffle Time, maybe Sushi Go (or see if there's a kid version/variation)

Imagine being so embarrassing that not even the Trump Administration's Big End of Democracy Celebration wants you to preach

We're hiring a contract LGBTQ+ reporter The 19th is seeking a part-time contract reporter to report, write and produce coverage of LGBTQ+ issues, focusing on the intersections with politics and elections.

The 19th is a fantastic outlet and a great way for a young queer journalist to build further build their career

If you follow Jesus because you’re afraid of hell more than you love Jesus, you’re not really following Jesus.

And you end up creating hell for others on earth.

In fact, the more healthy adults (especially kind, gentle, wise, role model men for the boys at this cultural moment) involved in a kid or teen's life, the more likely they are to be healthy adults who can pass that on. It doesn't require being a parent, just more good to spot and prevent the bad.

Add in the complicated truth, distorted stereotypes, and horrifying unending cases of abusers, and it makes sense why even a conservative dog whistle like "protecting the family" would appeal to liberals. Many see this list and think of cruelty and trauma, but we CAN do this safely and well.

The best thing a Dem can do right now is the opposite of whatever "top party consultants" advise 🫠

The use cases I've seen are either 1. I wanted to automate a process but the tech companies gave me this instead 2. I was failed over and over by the school systems and markets that should have taught me how to write a professional and comprehensible sentence 3. Is This a Search Engine?💁🏻‍♂️ 🦋

I have been reading some AI articles and have attended an AI webinar because my new job is surprisingly AI friendly. I have yet to see a use case that wouldn’t be better accomplished by asking someone for help

"The act of writing it is itself a cognitive process: it forces synthesis, prioritisation, and reflection. It is, in a real sense, how we think. When we outsource that act to an AI, we ... are externalising a cognitive function that was doing clinical work we didn’t realise it was doing."

Yep, get it checked out. They'll want to know if 1. you have a working carbon monoxide detector 2. Injuries and/or infections 3. New medications or recently off one 4. Mold, lead, industrial chemical, or other toxin exposure 5. Allergies and immune issues 6. Vitamins, hormones, etc. levels 7. Water

Aromanticism, asexuality, and Christianity I’m primarily focusing my work on progressive Christianity and the queer church because that’s where I’m most needed and fit best, but others have blazed a trail before I got here…

Delighted to welcome ace and nonbinary actor, writer, and video podcaster @roguishgoblinstory.bsky.social to the Aro/Ace Christian Resource List!

Yep, not surprised.

Someday I'm going to write my book about things Christians think are in the Bible but actually aren't.

Just another reminder that pharisees are the predecessors of rabbinic judaism of today. Jesus' condemnation of *some* pharisees doesnt mean that blanket all pharisees and Jewish people are bad. In fact, the Apostle Paul still identified as a pharisee during his ministry.

The condemnation Jesus

The quality, accuracy of the lenses, and fit really matter. A little off and it could give you nausea from motion sickness, headaches, dizziness, pain, etc. Then after you know what you need and have experience with knowing how to ask for and find what you like, you can order from Zenni or whatever.

Your doctor should be able to recommend places. My mom's office (and most) have optical shops. It's a good idea for your first pair to get them irl and try on a lot of different styles + have them explain your options for lenses (anti-reflective, transitions to sunglasses, scratch resistant, etc)

I'm a daughter and former teen employee of an optometrist and I approve this message. It's basically getting (vision) bespoke measurements and then going (eye fashion) shopping

Hey y'all, an Episcopal organization I love & trust—United Thank Offering—created a VBS curriculum about Gratitude & Water. I read through it & it's beautiful!

So if anyone could use a FREE & thoughtful VBS curriculum, I'm impressed with this one from UTO! ⚓

Fantasia’s “The Magician’s Apprentice” is a very clear warning against AI.
