My one friend who is formerly evangelical casually told me that Catholics are not Christian. This is probably 20 years after she escaped the evangelical church

"Respond to the issues and not the person" is a really wild defense when the person in question is funding a genocide.

Fuck this.
Rowling has turned out to be a terrible person but my kids loved her books and future kids (and adults) will too. This is like people who wouldn't vote for Biden because Gaza. You fucked us all.

First I was waiting for my order over by the DoorDash pick up area and some nice man came over and asked if I was waiting for a mobile order and directed me to the right area. Then I was leaving and I had a little bit of trouble with the door and another man asked me if I needed help.

Ummmm.... before I went down to the coffee shop for my emergency run just now I pulled myself together -- put on a better top, fixed my face and my hair and all of that. And in the short period of time I was out of the house I really feel like I got girl-privileged three times.
