Congrats, and ima let you finish, but two consecutive Popes have said this guy is bad at Catholicism.
That’s a CRAZY batting average for a new Catholic.
@pants in the epilogue I've constructed in my head, this information is given to them by Dracula, revealed in opposing shot on the far side of the table crouching down to get a "street level" view of the project.
@pants Mr Pants, sir, may I suggest that, while that is an exceptional gingerbread house, it could in fact use one small addition. I think that if the Gingerbread Boys could hear my suggestion, they would be super psyched up by it: that house could use a chimney.
@WindowsKevin@shadowwulf82@Qveen_Potato And yet, you've sliced off your own empathy without so much as an anesthetic or a second thought (to imply you've had a thought before is so very generous of me, I know). Fix you heart, dude. Or die, I don't really care: blocking you now, 'cause you're just a dime-a-dozen bigot
@shadowwulf82@Qveen_Potato You'll get there; one day you'll have the courage to be yourself everywhere that you go, and that alone will spread more joy than you can ever know. Don't let the assholes get you down!
This app has become borderline unusable.
BUT it becomes much more usable if/when you block aggressively and limit replies as necessary.

My biggest flex as a mother is that I didn't let pride and ego keep me from using SNAP during my poorest times. My children never went hungry, even when I only had two cents to my name.
I'm so fucking proud of that.
“Greed is human nature.” No, greed is what systems reward. Cooperation and care are equally human, yet punished under markets. The system manufactures the nature it prefers.
Timely to recall how whilst Cuba gave asylum to Black revolutionaries like Assata, the US gave asylum to Nazis and their collaborators. So when they call Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism or paint those struggling to uplift their people as evil, read in between the lines.
Poverty IS caused by people’s sin. Just… typically not the sin of the impoverished.
That’s why the idea that Jesus died to save *me* from *my* sins is a shallow gospel.
The Good News is that, in The Way, we find salvation from sin *period*. Ours and others.
After Charlie Kirk was shot, white conservatives blamed the left, and HBCUs got death threats. Then two white boys showed up uninvited at an HBCU, pushed for a DEI debate, provoked a reaction, and now play the victims to paint Black students as violent. That’s racism and white privilege.
