My corgi has a profound howl…but only in her sleep. It’s only happened a handful of times, but she will let loose this high, mournful howl at 2 or 3 AM that’s like a fire alarm to my nervous system. Then we’re all awake wondering what the hell just happened. #CorgiLife

In case anyone feels tempted, please don’t drop off random used stuff at churches unless you’ve called to see if they need or want it. Because your “donation” means now I’m taking your stuff to Goodwill instead of you doing it and you just made your junk my problem.

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry.
He's choosing not to. He is choosing to appeal to SCOTUS. He is choosing cruelty.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

Remember, the cruelty is intentional.

Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost — November 9, 2025
Jesus’ response to the Sadducees in Luke 20 reveals resurrection as a promise of freedom — especially for women — to live fully as God’s beloved today.

When I was a kid my idea of an "edgy joke" was a joke with a lot of swear words in it. Preferably "fuck" and "shit." I don't recall ever praising Hitler.
Also 20-40 year old are not "kids."

Learned this tidbit today from Brian Kaylor's new book:
"...verse numbers weren't added by a theological scholar or an ecclesiastical council; they were added by a printer thinking of a clever way to make his commentaries more useful and therefore more marketable."
So bible numerology is total BS.
