🧵This is me when I was trans and had my breasts cut off.
I’m posting this for the first time so people understand why I voted Trump.
This is happening to young women all over America. I know I’ll be ridiculed but I don’t care—retweet if you want this to stop:
Dear Lowes, Targets, Kohls, Walmarts, ALDIs, Home Depot’s, Krogers, Jewels & all other stores that have self checkout….
You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkouts now.
The lady/man checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already:
🛒filled my cart
🛒emptied my cart
🛒scanned the items
🛒refilled my cart
and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me“ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNTS FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ......All of us
These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old …..

Ugh my kiddos hospital. She’s had three open heart surgeries here. I didn’t know they’d done this.
@farmingandJesus My daughter had three open heart surgeries before she turned 5. Thank God for this life saving surgery, she’s almost 10 now and doing fabulously.
Holy Week? How Can Time Be Holy?
Yesterday, Palm Sunday, we entered the week that the church calls "holy." We are so accustomed to saying "Holy Week" that its oddity might not strike us as, well, odd.
But think about it: we refer to holy people (saints [lit. "holy ones") and holy places (sanctuary [lit. "holy place"]. But how can minutes and hours and days be holy?
Here the Torah is, once again, our teacher.
The first part of creation that was called "holy" was not people or a place, but time. In fact, in all of Genesis, the Hebrew verb for "make holy" or "sanctify" (קָדַשׁ [qadash]) is only used once, in Genesis 2:3, "So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy [קדשׁ], because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation."
The LORD sanctified, made holy, the seventh day of creation, a Saturday. Although it is not explicitly called the Sabbath in Genesis 2, the verb for "rested" (שׁבת) is where we get the noun Sabbath (in Hebrew, Shabbat [שַׁבָּת]).
From the beginning, therefore, God sanctified time, that is, he drew certain times into his holy orbit, pulled them into his sanctity, so that they uniquely belonged to him and his people.
We call Palm Sunday through Resurrection Sunday "Holy Week" because these days belong uniquely to the Holy God, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Although his entire life, from conception to ascension, was for us and for our salvation, during Holy Week all of these saving actions reached their summit.
He rode in on a donkey as the messianic Son of David.
He fulfilled Passover in his Supper on Thursday.
He fulfilled the Day of Atonement on Good Friday.
He enjoyed his Sabbath rest in the tomb on Saturday.
He rose, bodily and triumphantly, on Sunday.
All this he did for us and for our salvation.
During these sacred days, during Holy Week, may our Lord Jesus bless you as you reflect upon who he is, what he has accomplished for us, and the gifts he continues to give us in his body, the church.
