M: Will you sing me a song while I snuggle with you?
Me: <sings Hallelujah very poorly>
M: Mommy thank you for giving me that song from you. It is now my favorite song.
Me: You’re welcome?

@Hetnikik @AnneWheaton We can only afford store brand PB from the discount grocery store. I’ve got a ton of digestive issues and everyday I choose if I will be hungry or sick that day because I can’t afford specialty food. I love your advocacy for animals but this post was really tone deaf.

Do you want to get motivated to Vote in this year's elections. Think about this...

If the Democrats win the House and Senate, there will almost certainly be congressional hearings for the 19+ women accusing Trump of sexual assault.

Now wouldn't that be fun?

VOTE!

My 2yo just learned my dark secret. I totally eat junk food and watch #StevenUniverse after they go to bed. Thank goodness she doesn’t talk enough to alert the 4yo!

@TenaciousMandy @hannahpaasch *Not sure what’s worse

[Erin Leigh Lowery @Bellowery]

@TenaciousMandy @hannahpaasch Ugh! I’m not sure if the multiple “a wife must forgive infidelity because men can’t help it” lectures when there was no infidelity or while opening presents Xmas morning outing her great granddaughter and saying “Your choices break my heart, do you know you can’t have babies?”

[Erin Leigh Lowery @Bellowery]

@TenaciousMandy @hannahpaasch His dad & dad’s family are horrible people. The hate they spew in the name of Jesus will make you sick. (Like so much worse than Fundie normal.)
We never see his dad and avoid everyone else.
I don’t want to “belong” to these dickheads by anyone’s measure.

@hannahpaasch H and I came out of evangelicalism 7 years ago had been married for 4 then.
As I realized I was a feminist, a communist, and I hate long hair I was expecting push back.
We’re still working on some patriarchal BS but have discussed changing the whole family back to my maiden name.

@C_Stroop Don’t forget American slavery. They forced slaves to convert to Christianity and then violently enforced their property rights over their ‘brothers in Christ’
Also the Reformation where Catholics were killing Protestants, Protestants were killing Catholics and other Protestants.

Hot take:

Capitalism is irredeemable exploitation. Large sections of Christianity are complicit in the violence wrought by capitalism.
Capitalism is only a compelling idea for people with money or who aspire to have money at the violent expense of others.

I’m feeling like not a complete crap mom today. I had 2 extra kids today, made spaghetti and meatballs for them, made Valentine decorations with Magdalen, got bedtime done with no tantrums, and made PB oatmeal breakfast squares for the morning. I’m like a superhero!

If you want an example of linguistic imperialism, look no further than "Imagine" being performed, in English, at the PyeongChang Opening Ceremony.

@KEBrightbill My sister and I had kids 4 months apart. She lives in Philadelphia; I live in Portland Oregon. The kids are 4 & talk on FaceTime so much that they have inside jokes. Even 15 years ago they would have known each other from once a year visits and photos.

I’m really grateful to have a bipolar, communist friend from church. Who else is an Orthodox bipolar communist supposed to text at 11 at night while twitchy? #bipolarproblems #nostigma #familybychoice #christiancommunist

@Olivianuzzi What could a draft dodger and a war criminal possibly have in common? Tune in tomorrow for PUTIN PALS, only on Russian Wiretap Radio!

No paywall on this one and a little better explaination of the science.
