Gayer than Christmas. An Episcopalian & Christian Humanist. A lover of film, history & theology. A sometime Stoic. A Pope Leo respecter. Love will save us all.
Scott Pelley, longtime 60 Minutes correspondent, on being fired for opposing Bari Weiss's MAGA bias:
"New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified... The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well."
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
Social media algorithms (especially on comment sections like instagram’s) are purposefully designed to highlight divisive, hateful and bigoted comments & noise in order to further divide the populace, cause discord & push a far right agenda through constant exposure.
@UmbraPetri@mfjlewis I always find it interesting how Traditionalists, when confronted by their errors, simply resort to homophobic, sexist or sometime racist language & so forth. Which shows that it’s never really been about preserving tradition, like the Latin liturgy, but really about domination.
@mfjlewis So if they choose to remove themselves to be outside the Holy See and the church it is highly regrettable, but that is their error to make and the Pope has made it clear that he will continue the synodality of his predecessor, so further debating would be pointless.
@mfjlewis The problem with the current situation around radical traditionalists (SSPX etc) is that they come from a position of sincerely believing they are the true protectors of orthodoxy in the church and the Vatican is in error. This makes dialogue very difficult next to impossible.
