This 100%.

This guy's fiction book ( V ictoria) was, um, something.

@kkdumez.bsky.social do you have any suggestions?

This is, sadly, true. And as someone on the track to be ordained clergy, it's a warning.

Hey UPMC, you listening? I didn't flip tables in front of your headquarters for nothing . . .

I HAVE read this, and although I'm not sure I agree with all the Rabbi's conclusions, EVERY Christian scholar should read this. And the work of people like @saremanuel.bsky.social, @adeler.bsky.social, and Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, among others. Because std Christian theology can be very antisemitic.

1) People freak out about trans women but this is okay???
2) so, um, what, we're going to replace runners like we are trying to replace artists and writers?
3) Why are we building these and not robots that can, you know, do something useful?

As someone who came to be a woman late in life, I've had to learn these things on the go. My only advantage is having heard men talk when women weren't around.

@alexianafry.bsky.social I pimped your book at the Religious Trauma Symposium at Harvard this weekend and also nagged Dan McClellan about getting you on his podcast!
Sadly, my copy of your book won't arrive until between May 10 and June 20 😭

Heartbreaking. Yet another crime for which he should be charged when he stands in the Hague.

ADVOCATE She revealed that at a recent visit to Mar-A-Lago, she wrote a letter to the president, asking for his personal help with a problem plaguing many trans Americans right now: the loss of their authentic gender marker on their identification. "Now we're going too far to the right, you know, with gender markers," she said. Jenner revealed that when she renewed her passport, it came back with an M for "male." "What do I do? I can't travel internationally anymore," said Jenner. She said so far, Trump has not responded to her letter, and she's chosen not to call him.

Quislings (collaborators) never win.

Drop your crime fighting Catholics
(sorry but I really had fun watching this show!)

I concur, and I believe you do too, right, @alexianafry.bsky.social ?

The spike in about the same in 2025 was mostly idiots thinking it was going to get better because of promises from the regime. Then they finally saw through the lies. Anyway that's my take.

Lord, I see what you have done for others . . .

Home labs, famous for quality control and never accidentally exploding

I got a 32 cent an hour raise. Believe me when I tell you that comes nowhere close to matching inflation - 2%. Note that fuel alone has gone up 22%, and my natgas bill (heat for my house) has doubled.

Not all angels wear halos

I was laid off as a software engineer (front end developer in Angular) two years ago and was never able to find a job since.

Can't really see how. Inevitable that he'll get drawn back in. Iran is pretty pissed at the US.

One thing sure if they could: when two jet fighters went at it, it wouldn't have been termed a "dogfight"

Art for episode of Dr. Alexiana Fry's youtube episode of Texts of Terror on Esther 1:13-22 with cartoon depiction of the doc and "texts of terror" forming an arc over her head.

Okay but @alexianafry.bsky.social this cover art is awesome!

I feel this down deep in my soul

And yet the stock market is still up 2.33% because surely he is going to pull a rabbit out of his hat THIS time . . .

Bringing back lament in churches (and yes, secular rituals of lament as well) would be very helpful

Fragile ceasefire in the balance as Iran says it is halting oil traffic

Well that didn't take long

Has anyone verified if the Strait of Hormuz is actually open and shipping is passing through freely?
