@deconstructgirl I do this as mine is just down the street. One day they were having a drive thru prayer line and I ended up flipping off about 10 old ladies that use to be friends with my grandma. Oh well 🤣
If anyone says:
- God told me
- I have a message/word from God
- God wants you to do ...
- I am a prophet
- I am God's messenger
- God speaks to me
GET OUT. Do not believe or obey them. They are trying to manipulate you. You may need to develop a Safety Plan first, but please go.
@CMar49@C_Stroop Dayton Christian. Both my parents worked there and both were fired when they got divorced. I am not sure if this is still their policy, but it was in the 80’s and 90’s.
@C_Stroop As I ran out of the room. I was also physically abused by the principal of the school in a hallway between classes, he slapped me across the face. #ExposeChristianSchools
@C_Stroop I did not make it and had an accident while standing in front of the entire class. For the rest of my time at this school I was bullied to the point of contemplating suicide. I found out later from my cousin that the teacher made of fun of me to the entire class
@k8siegel@flanaganfilm Kept saying I was not gonna watch it all in one night, watched it all in one night. Staggering great and moving. The end was beautiful
To the Republicans who think the new vaccine requirements are an overreach: have at it.
The health of the American people isn’t a game — and it’s time you stop treating it like one.
@flanaganfilm Idea: a season based loosely on The Changeling. The George C Scott film from 1980, one of my favorite horror movies of all time. It could definitely be reworked and expounded on. I think it would be in great hands.
My current read:
It is hard to even comprehend the absolute evil that existed in the Jim Crow south. I had never even heard of this case, it is staggering to me that we do not know our own history, it is literally seeped in blood.
I won’t get vaccinated.
I won’t wear a mask.
I oppose universal healthcare.
I ignore infant mortality rates in the poorest states.
Migrants are “illegals.”
We need more guns on the streets.
I’m fine w/cutting WIC & SNAP.
I think the death penalty is just swell.
I’m pro-life.
Imagine being pro gun, pro death penalty, pro genocide, pro prison industrial complex, anti science, anti social programs, anti education, anti women, anti worker rights, anti environmental regulations, anti GRSM and still think you are the moral one because you are anti abortion
One really horrific aspect of the evangelical purity culture is that it so often blames women for sexual assaults: "she caused me to stumble."
It's viewed as a sin, not as a crime; the offender is typically "restored" in-house. No wonder it's a system literally rife for abuse.
Yes America is inherently racist. That doesn't mean every white person is Archie Bunker. It means America is run by a series of systems that reward whiteness and penalize Blackness. These systems exist in almost every major aspect of American life.
@The_DeConverted I planned and implemented a “Hell House” event at my Church. Super embarrassed and ashamed of it now. We were such insufferable fools.
Americans owe $1.6 TRILLION in student debt. INSANE!
@RepresentUs and I made a short film about how our corrupt political system got us here, and how we can FIX IT with the #ForThePeopleAct. Grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy. Then let’s get to work 👍
