@itsmejjwarren using “bananas” is fine, but realize that saying something is “bananas” instead of crazy is like saying “fudge” instead of “f***” it’s a replacement word with the same intent. It’s better to reframe perspective of what is normal.
Thread-Today I wrote a piece for the @NYDailyNews about what I call “penis politics,” based on my four decades of experience working with powerful men. I define penis politics as a man in a position of authority using gender to control & dominate. https://t.co/j8LvWNTlZ7
So depressing that Twitter’s top trending story is about how Trump always knew how bad Covid was - why is that a surprise? - but no one is talking about him using the DOJ (and tax payer $) in a defamation suit against a woman he sexually assaulted (allegedly)
@itsmejjwarren In my undergrad they tried to teach us that everything comes from God meaning we had to reconcile that God is both the Creator of goodness and evil
@itsmejjwarren That Nothing exists outside of God’s creation. I believe in a Creator of love, compassion, and justice meaning that all evil, harm, and pain is outside my Creator’s will.

I’ve always been disappointed with Hallmark’s lack of diversity, but taking this ad down is a whole other level. Hallmark is meant to be s family channel and families come in more than just attractive young heterosexual white people. #boycotthallmark

If a newcomer walked into ur church 2day, would they think they’d walked into a time capsule? What year/era does your church communicate? Or would they walk into a building that reflects the current age, telling “the old, old story of Jesus &His love” in fresh, contemporary ways?

Today in Hebrew Bible I learned that most of the prophetic texts are set up like a country love song- God: “I love you; you done me wrong; now you’ll pay; I’m still hung up on you”
