The other pictures were amazing. He was nervous doing private vows. He was nervous standing at the arch. He couldn’t hold it together when the officiant (my life wife & the reason we met) started reading. I’m so in love with the him & the pics

If you see a “Sora” logo in a video it’s ai full stop. Sora is Open ai’s new text to video model that turns prompts into video and they look realistic as hell! Educate your gullible friends on how to identify ai from “real” content.

And other whites aren’t bullying the horrible ones enough. I want to see more. Make the bad ones ashamed to be seen in public. I know y’all have the power when you want to use it but ask yourselves why you won’t?

Not for nothing, but if a priest says “God Damn You” and you have even a smidgeon of faith, you know you’re fucked.

Which is why I became a public school teacher! I don’t teach anymore, but when I did, I wanted to bring those types of things, like critical thinking, introspection, and meditation to those students too
