This is pretty much me with my fridge, but incidentally also the reason I switched to feeding my cats 3 times a day

Propaganda can be a good thing!
Hope someone realizes we should spend less on resource extraction when cultural production is extremely cheap and has great returns

Today was another incredible day on the water: we caught up with the T19s who successfully took a Steller sea lion in western Haro Strait! The winter lighting was reminiscent of the photos you see of foraging killer whales in Norway.

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

I am currently working in the library for wifi reasons and I really don’t understand how people can work while not making a sound. In my office at home I’m running back and forth making all kinds of noise, fuck this quiet shit lol

CFB coaches are far too woke now. Remember the days when they didn’t have fake dogs or farted at hot yoga, instead running murder clubs and were owners of bars so they could impress the town MILF?

If you’re not utilizing all of your resources to help other people, yes even the ones you don’t know, become better versions of themselves, then what are you even doing?

Not religious at all anymore and wasn’t catholic to begin with but I am pretty down with this new direction.
Faith isn’t measured by belief or church attendance, but by how we treat people who are struggling. If Christianity ignores poverty and injustice, it misses its own message. #Religion #FaithAndJustice #Christianity #Poverty #SocialJustice
Faith that costs something: the Pope's challenge to comfortable Christianity
A new Vatican document challenges wealthy Catholics to move beyond charity toward justice, solidarity and real encounters with the poor.

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.
