While reading "Better Ways to Read the Bible" by @zachwlambert.bsky.social, I was reminded of this quote by Jordan Harrell. I am not a "little bible", I am a "little Christ"/Christian... I follow Jesus. Be wary of those who quote the Bible but do not follow Jesus' way.

How gender critical was Nazi Germany? Let’s find out & compare some top gender critical “beliefs” with evidence from historical Nazi Germany. Each post has a GC position + a picture from a historical source or modern research paper. English translation & the source are in each picture’s alt-text.

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree. Ate it.

Recently, as I was doing some deep breathing exercises in the vestry to cope with some nonsense at church, someone came up to me and said "these days I have to ask God for patience, because if I ask him for strength I'll deck a bitch." and honestly? Biblical levels of wisdom there.

Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.
OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty
