Plus also worship a guy who hung out with 12 other guys and more than a few assorted women.

(No, those 13 guys did not just walk on their own from place to place; they had followers, hangers on, etc.)
Guy who worships a triad talking shit about polyamory, SMH
In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

I am not a pundit, but maybe, just maybe, you ought to pander a bit more and STFU about certain topics when running for office.

Good morning! Today’s cat is Spaghetti The Cat. He’s 9 years old, gigantic, and his brain is a mini meatball. He loves eating strings and drooling when you pet him. He’s jealous of his cat siblings and wants all the attentions. And I love him dearly.

It might be hard to see her since she’s so well hidden, but if you look very closely, you’ll see that Moo was hiding in the tub tonight

She was watching me brush my hair which always take a while cause I have so much, so she stays nearby in the shadows while keeping me company
So cute and stealthy!

#Tarot today: The Hermit and the Emperor. Only you can hear your quiet but firm inner voice of wisdom. Only you can know what you truly believe in and what really matters to you in life. No one else can or should dictate these things. We are ultimately each our own rulers and spiritual authorities.
