I'm thinking back to that time in college when I was still a "pro-life" evangelical. A Jewish friend thought she might be pregnant, and I was trying, the best way I knew how, to support her so she didn't feel like abortion was her only choice.

@kristinaEBP @Shea_to_you @emilykmay @ecarrington725 Bowls and cups over here. 🙋‍♀️ Mostly bc my kids are feral and carry cups/bowls full of cereal everywhere they go.

@HipHmschoolMoms @samanthapfield Luckily, there were a few professors who took me under their wings and guided me through the process of figuring out how higher education is supposed to work. But if I hadn't found helpers, I might just as easily have fallen thru the cracks and left college feeling a failure.

@HipHmschoolMoms @samanthapfield I graduated summa cum laude from college... But my parents were NOT involved in my high school homeschooling. I faced a huge learning curve when I started college; I didn't even know how to write essays. I had no calculus and I didn't understand the periodic table.

@masonmennenga Hey-o! Was it Campus Crusade or Summit Ministries (aka "Understanding the Times") for you? Spoiler: they both suuuuuuuck.

@kaceyismagic Hmm....

@Matthew_Palangi @BonaThird @RabbiHarvey It stands for Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, it's the largest sect of Lutheran in the states, and it's fully open to and affirming of LGBTQ+ folks.

Those who say "ELCA isn't Lutheran" are in the same vein as those who say that LGBTQ Methodists aren't "real" Methodists

@ryanmearsindy The priorities you've laid out in your mailings have earned you my vote!

Query: how can I get a lawn sign? Please have your staff DM me

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

If you care about abolishing the death penalty, you should also care about abolishing life without parole & sentences so long they’re effectively the same. Both entirely give up on any possibility of future redemption, change, humanity. Both condemn people to die in prison.

@SeidlerThomas @hcarolineking And if you'd rather go straight to the audio of him saying 16 year old girls are in their reproductive prime (discounting that they're far more likely to *die* from childbirth than are women in their 20s), here: https://t.co/6zxrYdLgxY

[The Serfs (youtube.com/theserftimes) @theserfstv]

Matt Walsh advocates for the impregnation of girls as young as 16 because it's "technically when they're at their most fertile" in a newly unearthed rant about how teenage pregnancy isn't "the problem it's unwed pregnancy that's the problem in society"

[Brooke, Who Dares Greatly @BrookeLMStage]

@SeidlerThomas @hcarolineking Here's a start: https://t.co/SWWjD4HCLH

[Media Matters @mmfa]

Before Matt Walsh became a Daily Wire personality, he co-hosted a local radio show where he defended political violence and teen pregnancy, performed racist impressions of Black men, and said that “we probably lost our republic after Reconstruction" https://t.co/rB4X81kHft

@d_l_mayfield @WillCarterII Aaah, I can't believe I omitted you ON YOUR OWN TWITTER THREAD

[Brooke, Who Dares Greatly @BrookeLMStage]

@WillCarterII @d_l_mayfield I think *Jesus and John Wayne* by @kkdumez might speak to some of that.

[Brooke, Who Dares Greatly @BrookeLMStage]

@PastorTrey05 I keep Cholula and Sriracha on the table because my kids are so "precious" that they think they'll literally die if their tongues touch too much flavor. So, I use salt, pepper, garlic etc to taste while cooking... but then my spouse and I kick it up several notches at the table.

[Brooke, Who Dares Greatly @BrookeLMStage]

@Refracture_ @Ollie_XVX @wholesome_mma I think they're still claiming that he "fell." That was a quite a fall.

Today, day 18 of covid, I was out of bed for nearly 6 hours, which was several hours longer than I'd managed any other day of this illness. I feel like a new woman! (A tired new woman, but still.)

[Brooke, Who Dares Greatly @BrookeLMStage]

@FolloWooit No thank you for this memory 😥

[Brooke, Who Dares Greatly @BrookeLMStage]

This brings back memories of flying #Delta from Madrid to ATL in 2013. (No, not good memories.) Although at least for me, the *only* person shaming me for feeding my child was a flight attendant.

. @SpiritAirlines does not support breastfeeding part 1/many

As I type this, I literally cannot believe that I am sitting here in 2022, having had such a horrifically bad experience breastfeeding in public.
