@yrfriendamelia @MintSparkle@emilykmay well this means I can stop telling people inaccurate info, but it's also not great because I've equated a lot of things to "people are doing different crimes because they are not kidnapping children out of yards anymore" Research matters!
"sounds fun lets try it" isn't quite as fun when you are on an actually important committee. and when the head pastor was an english major in their undergrad days
this is a very niche tweet but i both volunteered to be on an elca church call committee and the secretary of it which basically meant i was in charge of editing a massive document, and then submitting it just now, and idk but the whole Enneagram 7
just remembering the time that i think CNN asked what we all did with the money we all saved by not paying our student loans...because it's almost my birthday i am suddenly remembering the time back in 2021 when my friend and I split the cost of a $100 birthday cake
from @milkbarstore because we still had govt money and felt like i could spend $50 on a birthday cake? So um there has been no saving of money, just reallocating to finer things
even if none of the stories about jesus historically happened i would still be a christian because that’s how much the stories of jesus have transformed my life and how much i think they can still transform the world
@peterfent i literally have to specify the exact variety, type of church i go to, orgaizations church donates to, and reputation we have in the community. it is..interesting.
a student brought an emotional support snake (in a cage) to school this week (they let me hold it!) and because i am very easily influenced, and a marketers dream I now want a snake 🙄
@revfemme omg yes. in Duluth it's assumed most people own a gun because of hunting. so this is exactly what you ask. being from a city i remember being so alarmed when i found a gun safe in the house i nannied, but when i told someone they were like "that's good!" Definite culture shock!
@kevinmnye1 ok but there are also people (like me!) who are perfectly content renting a room in a house and don't want to ever buy a house because of commitment so they seek out private landlords. So not everybody wants/needs to buy a house!
@echeath my church (1st Lutheran Duluth) has an archive committee! we take our archives super seriously and have been digitizing everything recently. Apparently other churches look to us. I can get you the emails of the head people if you want me to?
@edercampuzano i lived in a tiny town in WI for a year, and saw a man get to a red light. He looked at me, looked at the light and the continued. I told one of my old lady gossip friends and she was like "oh he hates that light" apparently he never stopped treating it like a stop sign!
