"The Deconstructed"

One by one we joined the call
And then some saw it all
For what it is and what it's not
Not inclusive or blood bought

We broke ourselves to fit the frame
We abandoned reason to play the game
Twisted and contorted minds
Excluding many from divine

People have been saying "that will never happen" since 2016 and SOOO much shit has happened. So the "he was never going to" doesnt fly.

Good to know. I had no idea. But also.... Trump didn't get it, and that is something that made my day happy.

Unfortunate..... but still.

My excitement still stands even tho she "dedicated" it to VV. But seriously? Greta really should have gotten it.

Now this makes me absolutely ecstatic for so many reasons, but mostly cause she deserves it. Secondarily, because it's gonna piss off Velveeta Voldemort to no end.

Norway making good choices.

If you follow me on fb, you'd think I'm a boring exvangelical heretic, but if you follow me here, you know I got the good spice in my life and I'm using it in every meal.

If I could I'd totally be down there in an inflatable Hello Kitty costume. I think this is a trend that will catch on. Go Portland!

This is beautiful. Listen to what it looks like when hearts are speaking instead of when big political egos. This is what I want more of for our world.

Grape jelly is SO yummy! These are from our own grapes. I particularly love the tiny jars with red and white checkered lids.

I dunno..... I can see why some women might be uncomfortable but I can also see why others love to wear that style. The placement of her hands doesn't have anything to do with hiding anything.

This is why I love music so much. It reaches inside you and excavates and churns up what's beneath. It can touch things inside us that nothing else can.
