“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious … She’s been a little under the weather and I simply asked for prayers bc I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up.”

They’re both sleeping weird

Kima the dog and Jyn the dog asleep on the couch. Jyn has her nose squished at almost a 90 degree angle against her leg. Kima is asleep with her head propped up on a pillow so it looks like she’s sitting up

and yes yes, we all know gavin is an amoral shitheel, but despair when despair is appropriate—you’ll get another chance to despair, i promise.

he should sign. if he fucks off into the hills, the bills & their protections become law.

Misspoke earlier when I said not signing is a veto--i checked and it's true that if Newsom does indeed never sign the bills, they become law.

gincalesq.bsky.social @gincalesq.bsky.social · 20h

Also, under CA law, if he doesn’t veto them they become law. He doesn’t need to sign them for them to go into effect. Newsom is trash, but this article missed some important details.

CHRISTIANS: this verse in the old testament says X
JEWS: It doesn't say that
CHRISTIAN: maybe. Who knows?
JEWS: we do. That's not in the Hebrew
CHRISTIAN: no one knows what the original language means
JEWS: Yes we do. We can read it.
CHRISTIAN: It's lost forever

Jewish law not only permits but arguably *mandates* abortion if the mother’s life is in danger, but somehow I don’t think that’s going to come up. www.brandeis.edu/jewish-exper...
