@Pwoodzy1977 @MikeSington 1. She didn’t disparage American leaders. Trump holds no office or authority. He’s a candidate.
2. There’s a long history of Olympic athletes from all over using the platform to speak out.
3. People admire historical protest as brave, but condemn the same thing in their own time.
@2cranevalley@KirtonMcBonky The prefix “trans” doesn’t mean “artificial.” That’s your definition. Semantics aside, these people exist. Where would you like them to pee while they’re out existing? Whether you agree with the how or not, they very much DO exist and live. And also need to pee from time to time.
@jkimballcook No. I’m *furious* you haven’t been taking our ongoing Twitter feud seriously. I’m about ready to insult Tolkien just to escalate the drama.
@CasstheGM @VanPeter_ Yeah, I explained to my kids as “some people celebrate it this way” for those holidays and that we let them and don’t tell them it’s not real or not the way to do it. Kind of laid the foundation for talking about respect for difference in traditions, cultures, religion, etc.
@calvinjburke@IGoBySteve Sorry, I mistyped. I meant to say “man” or “boy” but ended up with man boy. That came out wrong. I’m in a car (I’m not driving) and not focused on typing well.
@calvinjburke@IGoBySteve I can’t decide whether to go with “love the art, hate the artist,” or “leave the fandom but can’t leave the man boy alone.” I think the favorite one I came up with so far is, “he left a church, not fight club.”
@Swilua @j_n_foster @localizedlesion that was injections of lidocaine, saw that at the pharmacy and tried it. Not quite the same as a nerve block, but super helpful while you are waiting for the meds to kick in.
@Swilua @j_n_foster @localizedlesion than most that only last 20-30 min and pick up freezer smells.
And then you know how they make lidocaine patches for your back? Get those, but cut them into strips to put on your shoulders, neck, forehead. IcyHot are the best for this. I thought of it after having a nerve block
@planetJoseph@KevinNe77857066@AnissaWall Well, a politician speaking at a political rally IS the same thing as a general authority speaking in a religious meeting as a representative of the church over the pulpit, right? so he has you there. 🙄
@KevinNe77857066@planetJoseph@AnissaWall Speaking to believers, telling them that nonbelievers are selfish and awful—that’s effective? Why didn’t Jesus do that when someone asked him a question? Why are you making it about politics and sides? I thought God so loved the WORLD. Yet religious leaders want us to fear it?
@KevinNe77857066@planetJoseph@AnissaWall In maligning the unbelievers in such a way, Wilcox ignores his own religious narrative tradition and wounds many who struggle and love people all along the spectrum of belief.
@KevinNe77857066@planetJoseph@AnissaWall nonbelievers WILL do in a moment of crisis also ignores one of the most popular parables of Jesus in which during a moment of crisis it is the cultural and religious outsider who DOES step up and help the man beaten and abandoned while his religious leaders hurry past him.
