Wisdom to get you through it from Tich Nhat Hanh.

Christianity just... Doesn't have lore like Greek mythology did. We as humans need to get back to that as our story telling.

I’m exhausted of feeling like I’m in the Truman Show living in the south. I’m the only one who sees Trump’s fascism bc they choose not to pay attention. My loved ones are being radicalized by algorithms into worse people who side w people who perpetuated beliefs that hurt me the most. I’m TIRED.

What do Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce even talk about? I can't imagine it

If Trump is undoing Biden's presidential pardons does that include the turkey he pardoned on Thanksgiving last year?...

Maybe she will learn to appreciate things like that eventually :) I know I didn't for a long time, but I learned how special it is. She's super lucky that you make things like that. No one in my family ever did so I've had nothing passed down, I would've loved it.

their only concern is always "oh no so now you'll never want to go back to church :(" never concern about me and how I've been abused. Only how it affects recruiting me. It's so fucked up. And him being like "well I didn't know you meant no to religion forever!!!" Is exactly that. Grrrr!

#Loveisblind Nick heard Kait say she doesn't believe god is real bc of going through something horribly traumatic where she watched her mom suffer for 10 years, and it's clear his only concern was "how do I get her back in?"
Gah he sucks. Whenever I open up to Christians ab my cult trauma-

I know what crack feels like now because I got the beautiful HAND QUILTED queen sized quilt for $25 today. I basically robbed the place. I'll never achieve this high again.

Remember when that lady went on Fox News and pulled a Tarot card for Trump's campaign and pulled 5 of cups? (grief, loss, mourning, trauma)

... Turns out that card pull was for us.

yeah this is child abuse sorry

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

Donate to Wikipedia! The last line of defense!

Trekkie Bill 🖖🏻 @trekkiebill.bsky.social · 7d

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Religion is so good at thought stopping that I didn't even think about how Eve's "sin" was seeking knowledge until like 22 years into being a Christian. My brain chemistry changed in that moment. PUNISHED FOR SEEKING KNOWLEDGE!?!

"We have a responsibility toward the other life-forms of our planet whose continued existence is threatened by the thoughtless behavior of our own human species... Environmental responsibility – for if there is no God, then, obviously, it is up to us to put things right."

Empathy isn’t sinful or weak, it is a core value of Christianity and a foundational pillar of democracy.

That’s why authoritarians are so intent on demonizing it.

Still mad at Chunk for killing Grazer's cub BUT... if you get that fat while having a broken jaw, you deserve to win Fat Bear Week. Congratulations to Chunk
