That was the most pathetic moment in American Presidential history.

Kamala Harris told us exactly what was going to happen.

Jon Cooper on Team Canada delivering a win for the country: “I just hope Canada’s proud because every player in that room is proud to be a Canadian. And yeah, we needed a win. Not only our team, but Canada needed a win. And the players bared that on their shoulders. This one was different. This wasn’t a win for themselves. This was a win for 40-plus million people, and the guys knew it and they delivered.”🇨🇦

@kerrywashington Let’s Go!!

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

When someone recovering from trauma says “I’m tired” it means:

My story has been denied. I can’t keep defending myself & try to heal.

It means: I’m going as fast as I can & my mind & body aren’t working together the way I’d like.

Survivor, please rest without apology.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

This passage from Michelle Obama:

"I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline. His history as a convicted felon. A known slumlord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all."

I posted the below last night in an emotional mood. It was answered by many generous comments in remembrance of my lost Miranda, and I thank every commenter. Of course there were also some other comments. A thread about those....

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

It’s one thing for some leftist group to call you a fascist. Quite another when it’s a fellow Republican. And absolutely astonishing when it’s your own chief of staff.

Dear @mcuban: If you can convince a bunch of your rich friends to purchase Twitter, we will give you the recipe for butter tarts. And possibly poutine.

Hugs and kisses,

@PastorBenMarsh Gaslighting and grooming

[John-Uh Harris ☀️ @johnnarae]

A paraphrased quote from an upcoming story on BBTB that I’m editing about a church’s policy for sex offenders.

“The policy spent 77 words talking about establishing a safe space for the offender & 33 words about protecting children.”

[TinyDancer @for2ude]

@rp_browne Does the new BIC Church Collective involve Bruxy?

[Abigail Tufts🗽 @absbabs419]

Also…not to take away from Jacob’s moment…but @Devin_Heroux is my favorite Olympics reporter hands down. He understands the heart of athletes & is such a passionate storyteller.

If you’re not following him already, you really should!

[TinyDancer @for2ude]

This is horrid, Church. Do better.

[Megan Nichols Lively @megannlively]

I was wrong.
Fellow abuse survivors, heed this warning.
Learn from my mistakes.
There is no safe place to disclose abuse.
I deeply regret my decision in coming forward in 2018.
I should have only told my husband. He heard and held my words with so much care that the world and the church simply did not.
It was a mistake to truth others with the most painful chapter of my life. I was naive to believe that telling the truth was the right thing to do. The truth is supposed to set you free.
The pain that abuse disclosure caused my family and embarrassment and damage done to my extended family cannot be erased.
Shame did not consume me. Shame became me.
To the young woman, like I was, who may be considering sharing her story.
Don't.
To the survivor who believes silence is a prison. The hell on the other side is so much worse.
A friend shared recently. "I am pretty sure the survivor of sexual abuse, more than anything, wants one thing." And he was right. More than justice or reform, accountability, trauma therapy, or closure. A survivor of abuse simply wishes this awful thing never happened.

I live in a world where I am constantly looking over my shoulder, assuming the worst could happen at anytime, because of sucker punches I have received, not only from the abuse itself, but in how I was treated after sharing my story.

Complete healing will not come until I stand in front of my Savior and find wholeness one day in Jesus. He is my Only hope this side of Heaven.
