Please watch this. I'm so tired of the misleading info that keeps getting spread and I need to use my energy for community-building and caring for my people.

@crazypastor At my polling place, I saw an older man go over to presumably his wife after he'd finished his ballot but she hadn't and talk to her. I don't want to think anything of it, but this story depresses me. The poll workers were QUICK to shoo him away, though.

Been getting so much positive feedback on this piece I wrote <3 https://t.co/0I0QlGjNzk

"Serving others, not being served, is the meaning of following Christ. This is a spirit of humility and love, not of striving for the primacy of place."

evangelicals: “THE BIBLE IS CLEAR”

seminary students doing their greek and hebrew homework: “i wish the bible was clear 😭”

Every accomplished woman understands this truth. It’s our reality everyday. Kamala knows, it’s why she is unbothered. We just press on.

@docsaico It kind of depends on the doctor, I'd think. I think tubes tied is more likely to approved than a hysterectomy.

[Michael Wear @MichaelRWear]

Much of the burden we feel regarding the vote is the result of a misunderstanding of the meaning of our vote.

@cmclymer Hey, thanks for stating this, I was struggling to articulate my own discomfort with the OP's framing.

[All Copays Count Coalition @copayscount]

We urge @HHSgov, @USDOL & @USTreasury to issue a rule closing the #EHB loophole exploited by PBMs to maximize their profits. This rule would ensure all covered medications are subject to cost-sharing limits. Patients shouldn’t have to wait.

@docsaico (also, I didn't know you were a former Lutheran!! but to me it explains why you're so great 😎😎lmaoooo jk, but as a future Lutheran deacon I do love to find new Lutherans "in the wild")

[EmDeM @EmDeM29]

@docsaico Every Christian, even biblical literalists, have some parts of the Bible they feel are actually NOT literal. For the conservatives, it's the "love your neighbor" stuff. Personally I blame Constantine and Christianity aligning itself with Empire of all stripes.

Too many of our influencers try to keep us in a constant state of paranoia and rage.

“They hate you. They’re out to get you.”

There are those who are malicious, but everyone on the other side isn’t motivated by hate. When we believe they are, we become the hateful.

[EmDeM @EmDeM29]

@docsaico This is what I tell myself (and friends) when I get to that space: The real work is community organizing, relationship-building, and creating the world we want to see. Voting alone won't save us -- which is actually empowering when you think about it.

@docsaico My hubby was just ranting about an illustrator he knows who has been posting her AI work all over, and is suddenly mad at other people posting AI images

[EmDeM @EmDeM29]

@docsaico The dude in the OP is a cop, which 10000% tracks.

[EmDeM @EmDeM29]

My office AND my denomination are both taking part in this.

Kyrie eleison.
