ex-pastor | he/him | tweets are my opinion and not those of my employer. Really, tweets are mainly retweets of those to whom you should be listening over me.
Middle kid has an auditory processing disorder, so I spent car rider line today figuring out the BPM of my turn signal to make a playlist where the turn signal and the songs’ beats are the same.
Some good songs have 178 BPM, so we have that going for us, which is nice.
NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT
Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.
A thread:
My friend who is a Chief Diversity officer shared that there have been a growing number of complaints by white faculty and staff that the jobs were being reserved for people of color and that their voices were being silenced.
They decided to look at the numbers.
Having watched Strangers Things,and umbrella academy, among others, Heartstopper is the most stressful show I’ve watched in the last month.
They are just so precious and I want nothing bad to happen to them ever.
I don't really like telling people that their best option is to go vote, but if you live in North Carolina you need to know that the only thing protecting abortion access now is Roy Cooper and/or the lack of a Republican supermajority in the legislature.
You can miss me with all the Christian posts about Roe saying "Now the next phase of our work begins."
That "next phase" should have begun fifty years ago, and should have been wholly independent of Roe's existence. If we didn't start it then, I'm not holding my breath now.
@NickLaparra I will say that this year, the GOP only needs to pick up one State Supreme Court Justice to have a majority and only needs to pick up a net of 2 state senators and 3 house members to regain their supermajority.
So we are hanging on by a thread.
So, as I understand the Supreme Court, the government can arrest and jail you without Miranda rights, execute you even if your lawyer screws up, force you to have a baby, and use tax dollars to support religion.
But it can't protect your right to vote or keep you safe from guns.
