@BobTAngryFlower Yes. The answer is yes.

Christ broke religious and cultural protocol to be Love.

Take the courageous steps he took with the woman at the well.

When history, tradition, upbringing, and prejudice whisper, "Don't love them," be Love.

Love reaches out.
Love resists hate and injustice.

Or, in a world where my wildest dreams come true, maybe she sends me her isolated vocal tracks and I put those into the cover version.

Don't mind me, Twitter, just over here doing some manifesting. 😅

Months back, I set out to do a metal cover of Taste of Your Tears by @SusieSuh. Never got my vox where I wanted them. Instead, I've overlayed my guitar/bass parts on the original. I like it. Maybe Susie's soc-med team can comment on how she'd feel about me putting it on Youtube?

Annual request to @npfallon and @clutchofficial to please confirm/deny that "Son of Virginia" is about President McKinley's membership in the Pythian Knights, the USS Maine, the Spanish-American War, and Portsmouth, VA's Pythian Castle and Confederate Naval Shipyard.

I really want people to stop sharing Handmaid’s Tale memes and spend some time reading about the history of enslaved Black women & the development of gynecology

Let’s get back to being a faith that folks ridicule as a religion of the poor and the outcast.

Let the world ridicule us because of our unrelenting welcome, elevation and commitment to the liberation of the poor, marginalized and oppressed.

[K.J. Ramsey @kjramseywrites]

I love Jesus and Jesus' church so much that I am no longer willing to be complicit in an institution that is crushing people Jesus loves.

Folks, Republicans aren't stupid. They realize a majority is against overturning Roe. They know it will motivate people to vote. They don't care. They're going to ensure the majority’s voice doesn't matter. They're ensuring minority rule. It's an ongoing coup. That's the plot.

Married LGBTQ people: CALL A LAWYER.

Get copies of birth certificates and custody for your children on paper. Make sure life insurance policies, property that you own, bank account information, passwords for things, Powers of Attorney, etc. are all set up & understood

It feels like too little, too late, but I just donated $100 each to YellowHammer, Planned Parenthood, and The ACLU. Links to each in the comments.

My wife wants to go to the protest at the State House, and we don't have a sitter, so I'm supporting her decision to do that...

...truly the prevention of abortion, and not merely engaging in legalistic posturing that fundamentally puts people in harm's way (while doing nothing to actually reduce abortion), then I beseech you to pour your energy into policy and activism that /actually helps/.
