The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Added! Same name as here. :)
I stayed in more progressive Christian denominations and churches until 2022 when, as I say, the Church left me (ego, leadership, and lies pushed me out).
Oh that and *waves around at the US* this brought on by the Christian Right.
I don't think I could ever call myself Christian again.
Watching my mom waste away from a painful, rare type of stomach cancer. My beliefs told me she'd be suffering in the next life too and I realized that was bullshit.
Then I listened to Rob Bell's Love Wins on audiobook. It solidified what I knew in my heart.
Hey hi hello it's my birthday! Big 41 today.
We are still looking for some stuff to make our apartment more organized and money is still tight. Give us a hand by getting something from our wish list? Thank you 💛

I need to pull that Entei hardcore - they've always been my favorite legendary and the Shiny Gallery version is so epic!
And now they're kicking it up and trying to take over everything.
Historians will look back and say that this is the escalation of World War 3.
I think they'll look back at Russia invading Ukraine as the beginning of it, and Venezuela another inciting action. They were this war's Poland, this war's assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
Memphis’ @repcohen.bsky.social did not attend tonight: “I don’t need to hear the lies and predictable banality from this offensive and out-of-touch president.”
Yep, I lost it there too.
Just reposting for visibility. 💛 Thank you for those who have helped already.
Hey hi hello I hate doing this sort of thing but with moving twice in 6 months we are missing a bunch of stuff in terms of home goods. But, finances are kinda tight, too.
If anyone feels compelled to give us a hand, that would be amazing.

A first! WoW replying to my social media! 😂
*adds it to my list of accolades*
(also omg yes Roofus will be miiiiine)
In other news I need this. LOOK AT HIM. HIS NAME IS ROOFUS.
If you have to use "God's Will" to villainize the people who are calling you out for your bullshit views, it's time to get a different God.
Take responsibility and walk away with dignity instead of using God as an excuse.
Keep chasing out Christian fascists. They don't deserve our hobby.
RIGHT? Fucking zingers that those of us well versed in sarcasm could put to better use!
This.
Early in our adventures in board gaming, we followed DT and they were our main resource - until I realized they were evangelicals. I no longer felt comfortable. (I'm an ex-evangelical)
This is a good thing. We need more shitstains to "listen to God" and walk away.
This. It just keeps amping up and won't stop unless we stop it.
For those not versed in activism, I cannot impress upon you the impact of the fact that ICE has killed two legal observers.
I am trained as a legal observer and have been present as one at many actions. The role of an LO is to be a non-participant at the action, to observe, and to document. 🧵
This GoFundMe is closed. Thanks for your help!
Can I just, protest by not paying federal taxes this year?
I don't want a Single. Fucking. Dime. Going to this country.
At least my Virginia taxes are going to a better government.
Being literate, using your logic, and loving your neighbor. These are the things that we're lacking in our world right now, especially in the US.
How do you say "I love everyone" and "She deserved it" in the same fucking sentence? This guy's words are a master class in it. (7/7)
This is the issue today. People who speak gently, and think they're loving people, and they're NOT.
Their words are venom and hatred and they twist the Word of God because there's no way THEY can be the wrong ones, so it must be everyone else. (6/7)
In short, this man is saying "yeah I love her, but she's with a woman so she left God's favor and that's why she's dead."
Yes. I listened to the whole interview. And that's the undertone. In the end, he said the murderer needs to repent, but it's based on "what he called her." (5/7)
And, you know, I don't blame ICE. I don't blame Rebecca, I don't blame Renee. I just, you know, wish, that, you know, IF WE WALK IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD, I DON'T THINK SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE."
Read those words in caps (my emphasis) again. (4/7)
"I mean, you know, I don't have any enemies. I LOVE EVERYBODY. And that's what the Bible tells us. Love our neighbors as we love ourselves. But you know, I think there's some bad choices.
AND THE WORD SAYS 'FOR THE WRATH OF GOD WILL COME UP ON MATERIAL DISOBEDIENCE." (3/7)
He starts off with 2 Chronicles 7:14, so you know this is gonna go great.
It goes great for a minute. He talks about how Renee was amazing, and a good mom, and so gentle. He praises her for raising his grandson well.
Then, he says this: (2/7)

(TW: Renee Good shooting, small clips of it in the interview I link in the 2nd post, don't watch if you're soul-tired of seeing it but wanted to included so people can fact check me.)
Are you kidding me? This man was her father in law for years. And he dares to say that he's a "Christian". (1/7)
