I’m in the process of learning tarot and focusing more on my practice rather than the haphazard way I’ve done it. I’m not comfortable with labels except to say my craft is mostly secular. I’m a deconstructed Christian exploring and expanding my beliefs.
I am not sure what to feel about this. JCO is arguably an awful person and yet…
I kinda wanna cheer for her for such a banger of a takedown. 🤷♀️

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.
heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

This news out of Cy-Fair ISD, which has been a bit of a canary in the coal mine for bad book agendas in Texas, is so good. The radically-obsessed-with-genitals-and-sex-in-books did not win.

This is a landslide. The last NYC mayoral candidate to clear 1 million votes was John Lindsay—over 50 years ago. It will be dismissed by pundits saying it can only happen in New York. That's garbage. Think pledging to freeze rent and offer childcare won't resonate in Nevada? Wisconsin? Texas?

Here’s my my pitch for why you care about your state attorney general.
The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals.
John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.

Going without sex is not a social hazard. Believing that men 18-30 deserve and or require sex is the problem.
I am not in any way disagreeing with you Rabbi. However with the huge number of sexless young men 18-30 is creating a social hazard.
We need to get gender relationships fixed or we'll suffer from a lot of troubles later on.

It is as immediately recognizable as Mickey Mouse's three-circle silhouette.
Unmistakable.
