Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

if you voted in Seattle you gotta make sure your ballot counted now
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.
Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

It's never been lost on me that the most public faces of Calvinism in the US are conservative straight white men.
I'm not sure Jean quite understood that if you took the laziest interpretation of his teaching you essentially created a movement of sociopaths

why is it ageist to want extremely powerful people who have had power for decades to retire, but it isnt ageist for both parties to be fighting like hell to prevent millenials and zoomers from having any access to any power in politics at all?

Genuinely why do some people see any positive mention of church, including from a marginalized person, and decide that this is how they simply must respond?

This thought brought to you by the ordination of a beloved queer friend of mine today, attended by many other queer people, and at which I sang in a quartet of queer folks for the offertory ❤️
Church is better when it's gay

I think people don't understand that while The Church on social, global scale is rich and powerful, individual congratulations very often are not. There is literally no way to provide direct aid to anyone who asks.

It's actually good for churches not to have loose money floating around that nobody is directly accountable for where it goes.

My little church, permanently financially-strapped doesn't have cash. We work with and donate to a bunch of nonreligious community organizations, but there is literally no way to access cash and give it to someone.

I watched a few of these and i’m sorry, but this is stupid. the lady making these calls is not a good liar and the churches she’s talking to reasonably conclude that someone is trying to scam them. i’m not exactly the most vociferous defender of the american church but this is a dumb social stunt.

you probably shouldn't let what commentators like Ezra Klein say be the limit of your imagination or determine what you think is politically possible. He doesn't have a clue what is possible.

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions
basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.
