Illinois just became the first state in the U.S. to outlaw book bans, after Gov. Pritzker signed legislation that would cut off state funding for any Illinois library that tries to ban books.

Pritzker: "Regimes ban books, not democracies."

@morganstrehlow Forgot to say, I’m a lay pastor in the PC(USA).

[Rachel Whaley Doll she/her @RachelWhaleyDol]

@morganstrehlow I am all those things, because I got to know people that were LGBTQ. I saw their humanity, and their divinity, and felt the love they shared with me and all those around them. My faith is def deeper than when I tried to accept everything ‘because it says so.’

You're actually not a mess at all.
You're just a feeling person in a messy world.
You are exactly right to feel a lot right now.
It does not mean you're weak- it means you're strong enough to be paying attention.
Be gentle with you, please.

Putting this video up again for anyone who missed it or dissed it. @lizzo has been classically trained as a flautist since she was 7--25 years of training. As I said before, her performance was luminous. #LizzoAtLOC

I don’t know who needs to here this but

Procrastination isn’t laziness.

It’s. A. Trauma. Response.

Some days it helps to remember that the butterfly has to build a cave for itself & turn into caterpillar goo
to grow the wings it needs
to fly.
So some days you’re a butterfly, and some days you’re goo.
If you’re goo, keep going. 🦋

A young girl named America
slips off to her bedroom to cry
while her family parties on her birthday

And the fireworks hurt her ears
and the lights hurt her eyes
and her people are dying

And they didn’t get her any
of the gifts she asked for
—justice
—beloved community
—or peace

Remember when the mask mandates came out and pro lifers were like “my body my choice”
