Well, this is kinda amusing. My pic is on the cover of our local paper, plus I did much of the design work for the PVLIP ad at the bottom of the page. I’m interviewed for a story about our community free store, plus there is an article about and letter from the PV Antiracism Team I’m a member of.

Here’s what you need to know about my hometown: while neighboring towns have held pride rallies, my town hosts a Charlie K rally (and has never held a pride rally).

It occurred to me this morning that Mennonite’s beloved “Will you let me be your servant” is a huge power play. It basically says “I am powerful and in control and let me display my virtue by helping poor decrepit you”.

My Russian Mennonite brothers and sisters need to let go of our default of distrust. Through theology & history we’ve formed a deep distrust of “the world” as if we are separate from it. Distrust of government, education, vaccines, and outsiders reveals an incredibly cynical view all God’s children.

Fundraise faster and easier with far less work. Say "goodbye" to physical tickets! Instead share your raffle online with family and friends. It’s the NEW "old" way to fundraise.

I was a US green card holder for 20+ years, and then came the first Trump presidency and I (and several other long-time green card holders) decided to become a US citizen because things felt so uncertain. I can’t imagine what it feels like now. (I’ve since returned to Canada.)
