Defending the oppressor while identifying as a victim and demanding change is endemic among liberals.

Portland right now.

Catholics are cray-cray for miracles. So much so, that we have them weekly, or more often, through the Eucharist.

So when you see a Eucharistic procession, you're witnessing a deeply serious undertaking by the spiritual community. You don't do this on a whim. That's the Lord God! It's serious!

Let me add to the myriad of Catholics, practicing and not, who are pointing out that the Monstrance holds the ACTUAL PHYSICAL BODY OF CHRIST!

A core belief of Catholicism is the belief in transubstantiation. The Eucharist isn't a stand-in for the Body and Blood of Christ. It has been transformed.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Biggest vaycay drawback.

Sounds like raccoons in there omg. I may need to intervene before too long.

When the gorilla sounds start. That's the time.

I like that these boys are still young enough that they still break out into giggles. The laughter is fine but it's when they start giggling that I start losing it, too.

There is sooooo much laughter coming from that bedroom.

Let 'em giggle, I say. I'm glad my little sleeps like the dead.

He is so eager to participate in lots of things I do and he genuinely enjoys the experience. It's when he has very set expectations and routines that aren't met that the fastest meltdowns happen. The slow burns happen when there isn't enough structure.

Kids, man.

Youngest is cracking me up.

Last couple of nights, I've been playing YouTube music and dancing with little 5lb free weights and he grabbed a little 3lb dumbbell and started dancing with me. Ever since then, he's been showing off his muscles and insisting on getting the milk outta the fridge.

One of my favorite things about having kids is that I get to show off my l33t bedsheet-fort skillz.

Still got it. (If it stays up overnight)

I didn't realize how much of the movie was a Rube Goldberg machine.

Link requested this be boosted so we can help Dr. Divya raise money for Palestinian families in need.

It is also a good day to reinstate Link’s account.

It's a spectrum

People with clout who can't stop clout chasing are never satisfied. Bruce is exhausting.

Also, misogyny. The arts are girly.

I put down a totinos party pizza and it was like watching piranha eat.

Boys are amazing.

I really need more money lol.

We have the power to use the language that empowers us and I think this is a fantastic example of how to do this. We aren't rejecting antifa. We are being explicit about who we are.

SeasonalPun @pixelfish.bsky.social · 2h

Endorsed. I was confused on this point once myself before friends edjumacated me.

I think I thought it was some kind of SA group like the Sandinistas* and didn’t know it literally meant antifascist.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Probably wouldn't have put this one on if I'd double checked the rating. I don't know why I always thought it was a "kid" movie when it's very much geared towards teens at the youngest.

🏳️‍🌈 Mother Of Exiles 🏳️‍⚧️ @dragynwing.bsky.social · 2h

I definitely passed it up on the rental shelf when I was older. It's one of those zeitgeist movies I never got around to like Breakfast at Tiffany's.

However, my 5-year-old is screaming with delight at the movie. I'm watching him and he's legit enjoying it and not afraid at all.

Boobie trap booty trap can go on forever I don't care. I can't get enough.

They really love to throw bodies at these kids. It's disturbing but I get it.

The interrogation of Chunk is everything. Chunk is my guyyyyy. I wanna let it out like him. Confess every sin and then keep going on to every insecurity. Bless his sweet heart!

The "pint sized machine gun" article on the Guns and Ammo magazine is great. And I am such a sucker for crazy physical comedy.
