@MikeBennettArt Your coffee shop and art is amazing, have been a couple of times and will be back. Moved here 2 years ago with no previous visit or plan either. Glad to see it works for others too!

What if, and hear me out, evangelical Christian couples didn’t have manipulative MLM pitches & nonstop fundraisers to adopt another newborn baby but instead helped the single mom in their congregation? Or any single mothers for that matter? Just a thought.

@VoteAudrey Screaming right now! Yes! As a solo parent it burns me up!!!! My own cousins have done this. I have given more time and money as a struggling mother of three to too many churches. Glad to have left that all years ago.

@Oregonian It was Select that made that mistake and has nothing to do with the dispensary, but you keep putting the picture of the store up instead of the facility responsible.

“No one wants to hear about your special interest—” I do. Tell me all about how the Appalachians are older than Saturn’s Rings or how the invention of the compass led to the atomic bomb. Life is so brief and the world is so big and we have to learn from each other.

@thesnarkygent Your tweets are super relatable! I was raised strict purity culture, married young, divorced and spent the last decade raising kids so I am beyond out of practice in this area as well. Thanks for being vulnerable!

I once gave one of my very teachers one of my very favorite toys. Fast forward three decades. I had twins. Yesterday, I got a package in the mail. 😭

@sacwriter I once had my car break down and the only available person to help was a pastor and he made me wait by the side of the road for an hour while he picked up his kid from school and then got me so we wouldn’t be alone in his car. Ugh

@thesnarkygent I feel like this a lot! Just listened to an interesting podcast about how we think and it is helping me. I don’t know how to link it but it is Armchair Expert’s with Woo-Kyoung Ahn. It was good

@joslater37 Go to church.

@alalliewhatever I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone.

[The Problem With Jon Stewart @TheProblem]

“This is an embarrassment – to the Senate, to the country, to the founders, and all that they profess to hold dear. If this is America first, then America is fucked.” -@JonStewart on Republican Senators who are blocking the PACT Act

Celebrate with me: my tribe (the Oglala Lakota Nation) — has officially banned religious missionaries from the reservation.

@davidfarrier I would invite you, come to Portland and we can go to Cannon Beach. It’s beautiful!

I AM FREE TO do, watch, think, say, wear, and be whatever I want. Others don't have to like me, and I don't have to care. Life is a gigantic buffet table with experiences waiting for me to try, bite after bite. I refuse to starve to death. I hope you refuse, too. #RTS #Growth

@kyliejustine When I cried at the loss in that movie and the rest of my family didn’t. I knew I was different.

I survived fundamentalist evangelical Christianity & all I got was this lousy moral scrupulosity OCD 🙃

They went to a July 4th parade with their 2-year-old son and now he is an orphan after his parents were gunned down by an AR-15

I don’t understand how anyone can read this sentence and not support a complete and total ban on assault rifles
