The Pope is right. American Christians who are not saying this today ought to be ashamed.
Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...
Pope Leo, on Christmas Eve, says denying help to poor is rejecting God

Netflix costs $20/month for no ads. Netflix is trying to buy a whole azz studio with cash. This will cost industry jobs and affect residuals for artists. Quit them and give that money to PBS. Or keep some and buy a DVD player. But give to PBS. Link in comments. Netflix sucks. Remain Bless

New Genre Suggestion: Spicy Ralph Nader Fanfic. Still from the new film ‘WTO 99.’ Plots could include: what happens if the people won the Battle of Seattle, if Nader beat Bush in 2000, cozy nights with the monotone populist ideologue, hot leftist nerds…🤣💕🌹🤩😎🥰 #booksky 📚💙

A top Republican in Indiana, whose daughter has Down Syndrome, just announced he will be voting to block Trump’s gerrymandering after Trump used the R-word to insult people yesterday.

Anyone complaining about the health effects of “ultra-processed” foods who isn’t also concerned by global poverty, climate change, HIV, Tuberculosis, the abrupt ripping away of USAID funding: You’re not fooling anyone. Pack up your table and go home.

I love that the alcohol lobby (there’s an alcohol lobby?!) managed to sway Senators to support banning hemp but no existing lobby (health insurance, hospitals, churches) can even get the attention of same Senators to support Medicaid or SNAP to keep poor and disabled Americans safe, fed and healthy.

Ohio spent over $1 billion on vouchers last year, largely to religious schools

People! Please! You don’t actually need Google or a.i. You can call or go to a Library! Librarians know special languages to search for answers in all kinds of databases. And they don’t need a bunch of electricity or fresh water to do so. You might even make a friend!

The writing is stellar and the atmosphere is remarkably drawn. In the first 4 chapters the plot is more depressing than A Series of Unfortunate Events. That’s right, Lemony Snicket is uplifting compared to Booth, which I finally had to quit bc I just couldn’t take it. #booksky 💙📚

If you are a person using the word “kiddo” with a straight face- please stop. When I was one, back in the Reagan administration, it was clear to me it was patronizing. Now, many decades later, it’s like saying ‘Daddio.’ Find a better word. ‘Children’ or even ‘kids’ will suffice. 🤦🏻♀️😎🤩🤣

NPR using their top of the hour news to plug the Capitalist favorite DST- contradicting research indicating that Standard Time (“fall back”) is best for everyone is just… unbelievable? No, predictable at this point. Tsk tsk I am so tired of watching my favorite institutions just roll over.
