being neurodivergent is WILD because you can be deeply intelligent, deeply creative, and deeply capable..and still be unable to answer a simple email for 3 fucking days.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

Turns out that voracious reader as a child, the one who was reading for hours at a time, was actually undiagnosed ADHD girlie in hyperfocus.

Jacob Misiorowski threw the FIVE FASTEST PITCHES EVER RECORDED by a starting pitcher...

I made a sports geography game where you're asked to pinpoint locations of 5 questions. I'd appreciate if you gave it a shot

Sneaking onto the home computer in the dark to chat with my friends on AIM is how I learned to type without looking down at my hands. Much more effective than junior high typing class.

My son is Autistic, and he is obsessed with hockey arenas, not hockey, hockey arenas. He wants to visit one every weekend, then comes and draws them for hours at home.

If anyone has pics of hockey rinks please share, and supply the name. It would make my 5 year old so happy!

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.

Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.

Shannon honey have you ever seen a population density map?

[Shannon Hill @ShannonMFHill]

I don’t see a single blue state.

Just blue cities trying to tell us all how to live.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

A Christianity that refuses to call out corruption and lies from those in power because it believes it is politically advantageous not to do so becomes a complicit participant in the very evils it claims to be against.

It is a Christianity without Christ.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.
