@Sarcasticluther The false prophet can be a woman?! How feminist of them! Also I'd buy a t-shirt with "False Prophetess of the End Times" printed on it, 100%.

The leading cause of death for pregnant women in the US isn’t health complications. It’s homicide. Often by a partner. The research to support this was completed as abortion rights began rolling back in many US states.

This reporting by @bavelarr is some of the most important of recent months from El Salvador detailing the impact Bukele's State of Exception has had in removing MS-13 from the streets and also the consequences of that effort on communities. https://t.co/SVTSqbRqzU

This is garbage. Absolute utter garbage. The grossness of telling a supposed friend “sure I’ll be happy you can visit a dying spouse of you stand up for the tax exempt status of my institution” And thinking you are being LOVING and REASONABLE in that.

I think the reason many Americans aren't aware that there is a rich, theologically grounded tradition of affirming LGBTQ folks in the Church is that people who can articulate it well are simply not given access to the same platforms that non-affirming Christians are.

Oh great. The NYT person hath wrote another essay that’s going to give people entirely wrong ideas about the entire church, female priests as a whole, and Christianity writ large again. Gah.

Tish Harrison Warren is a type. Supremacist organizations, like ACNA, look for members of marginalized communities who will sign on to their overall ideology and serve as token representatives within the game of Identity Politics and give them the highest status possible.

"Florida is where woke goes to die," DeSantis said after his reelection victory last month.

Last week, a federal judge asked his general counsel to define “woke.”

He answered woke is "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

@revlydiaposselt Uh an ordained woman arguing that accepting LGBTQ folk is a minority opinion in most world religions when accepting women as clergy is…also a minority opinion?

christian men will say they support free speech but won’t let women preach at their churches

I suspect that one of the reasons conservative pastors oppose psychology/therapy is that they realize it might expose their manipulative tactics and threaten their power.

Me, a dungeon master: This ancient temple complex has a storage room, I wonder what could be inside?

In the toxic family system, the healthiest person causes friction. They create resistance in the familiar dynamics and other members become uncomfortable and triggered.

We acknowledge the troubled origin of this holiday while welcoming the opportunity to come together with our given and chosen family to build community, rest and heal.

Unfortunately, I have covered mass shootings multiple times in my career. This is the first time I can recall getting message after message from viewers like this.
