This prairie dog statue on the #UCCsynod stage looks like he's just walked out onto a balcony ready to announce something amazing. The stage manager would not let me take him home. #gs35 #generalsynod #Evita #DontCryForMeSynod

*plays "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan* For only a few cents each day, you too can support this @cornerstonefund.bsky.social employee who only has a gross protein bar to eat for breakfast while slinging investments and swag... #UCCsynod #gs35 #generalsynod #WorldsSmallestViolin 🎻

Also, I like knowing there's a line in the #UCCsynod budget for "small wetland animal statues."

Heather @velociheather.bsky.social · Jul 13

This is totally a silly question and not at all serious but...has anyone tried to pocket one of the animal statues on the stage yet? Make it the mascot on your conference table?

Why does the official @unitedchurch.bsky.social #generalsynod scavenger hunt not include finding @generalsynic.bsky.social and giving each raccoon a high five?

The exhibition hall isn't officially open yet, but there are plenty of sneaky UCCers coming through already. WHO WILL COLLECT THE MOST TOTE BAGS THE FASTEST?! #UCCSYNOD #gs35 #generalsynod

do you also sometimes dream of being semi-rich just so that you can donate to, commission or shop from every artist you see online

I'm so glad I'm not going to visit my parents for Thanksgiving or Christmas. It's just too stressful.

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father.
Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

This catalog for my wife is like getting a department store catalog and circling all the gifts you want for Christmas.

People who are held in jail before trial can wait months or longer before their case concludes, even though they are presumed innocent and criminal cases in Baltimore often end without a conviction. https://buff.ly/4fDJWyi

I secretly hoped to see some flurries and am delighted it happened. But really, it should only be allowed to snow in very late December, all of January, and all of February (so long as it is all gone by March 1).

"Investigators consulted a biologist at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, who they said confirmed their hunch that they were not dealing with a particularly dexterous bear, but rather 'clearly a human in a bear suit.'” 😂🐻 www.nytimes.com/2024/11/14/u...

Human in Bear Suit Was Used to Defraud Insurance Companies, Officials Say

Footage of a bear rifling through luxury cars was submitted to insurance companies, which paid out $140,000. But something seemed off.
