"When the church aligns itself with power, it compromises its prophetic role." Alt: quoted photo shows @nakedpastor.bsky.social holding a sign that says the above text, with which I heartily agree. I often think the church took a wrong turn with Constantine.

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

holy shit he actually conceded folks, they tell you they’re invincible they tell you they’re inevitable they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting and absolutely none of that is true

One of the key things to know if you're ever faced with anyone trying to tell you ABA is evidence-based

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

When we truly feel and understand that our living planet took almost 4.5 billion years to create the perfect balance for us humans to be able to live here, we may start remembering that caring for our only home is not only imperative for humanity's survival - it's an ethical revolution. 🌍✊💚

Offering Compline this night for those who are letting the day end without getting the last word. May God hold what remains unsaid, and grant you rest.

Good morning, beloved. Nothing gets done until somebody does it. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

We've been conditioned my entire adult life to bow down to the invisible hand of The Market. Well, guess what - the market doesn't wanted entitled asshole men as much as it used to

A pair of Slaty-tailed Trogons live in the forest near my house and I hear them in the late afternoon as they hunt for delicious insects near the driveway. At @casabentbill.bsky.social #Costarica #birds #nature

You're the whip, @whipkclark.bsky.social Whip up impeachment. Force every Rep. to face their constituents with whether they oppose this regime or are complicit. You, personally, need to be calling for impeachment and advancing its cause with your power. No complicity allowed. #Massachusetts #MA

*You* should be serving us, too @housedemocrats.bsky.social Force a vote on impeachment. Make every representative declare whether they're opposed or complicit re this regime. Repeat every day as they face their constituents. That's how you rally our support. Or else you're complicit, too.

I'm in a chat with a bunch of wind and solar industry insiders and they're telling me they expect the price of sun and wind to climb to at least $0 per babbrel in the coming weeks

Something is starting to shift. Millions of people are waking up to what the fossil fuel lobby has spent decades trying to hide: clean energy is cheaper, safer and doesn't need a single bomb dropped to keep the lights on.

Nothing they do will make me hate my neighbor My neighbors aren't defined by IDs and papers

Boss: Let’s put this matter aside for the time being Me: [looking around nervously] Can only you see the time being? Boss: Huh? Me: Is it standing near me? Boss: Who? Me: [on verge of panic attack] The time being

Proclaimers rabbit trail 🧡 I was raised vehemently Scottish-American, but unaware that the wrongs of history weren't just... history. When I heard this song (and, "What Do You Do" with its line "What do you do when democracy's all through?) I realized history wasn't dead. youtu.be/SdXeM4bHBhk?...

Oops, that was '88! To make it up, here's a Proclaimers song actually from the 90s. I like it for its energy and these lyrics: I'm a grown man Over twenty-one I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun youtu.be/ZeQ_Fk3naYc?...

Name a random song from the 90s. Had this one stuck in my head yesterday. (Was it '89? Didn't get popular in the US until the 90s, anyway, if that counts) youtu.be/9V7NYX1TOgs?...

#AggressiveRest update: I find it's easier to keep my body in a state of rest (per Garmin tracker) when I haven't eaten yet. Not sure what the deal is, but I'm actually hungry now, so I guess it's time to start draining my battery. #pacing #PwME #MECFS #LongCovid #spoonie #ME #dysautonomia

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social -- what's the status of those articles of impeachment?

The fact that Donald Trump didn’t follow through on his threats of committing genocide doesn’t mean we should move on from the fact that he threatened to commit genocide.

Re today's genre discourse, I refer you to my earlier statement.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Thanks, Alli! House reps must impeach or else they're complicit. And all legislators must use their voice and connections to press for impeachment and removal. Let's remind them every day.

American friends, here's your reminder to contact your legislators today.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Rekindling my first love of letterpress type: lead type. Over 20 years ago @puddsharp flew with me to Illinois to bring a whole bunch of type back to Louisiana. The type grew to more type plus image cuts from New Iberia, LA.

"My religious leader says this war is bad, but my boss says that the war is His divine will" seems like more of a religious freedom conundrum than gay wedding cakes. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I’m seeing too many content scraping accounts lately. You know, the ones who post “a frog a day” or whatever. They’re lousy! They steal photos, post without credit to get lots of followers & then often make money off the account. Please block them & try these real photographers instead!

I've been doing some research into locations in Prague using Google Maps, and either the guy who was tasked to take the photos got the camera position wrong, or there's a small hairy ghost haunting large swathes of the city.

My husband, explaining to my 8-year-old why Jaws is an anti-capitalist movie: If the mayor had just listened to the experts and closed the beach instead of trying to make more money, the movie would've been over 5 minutes after the first shark attack.

Today is #WoodpeckerWednesday because you need to see this gorgeous Chestnut-colored Woodpecker. 🪶

Friends, please take a moment to sign on here (if in the US). You can't imagine how little doctors know about this rapidly-growing, debilitating illness. Their ignorance regularly causes active harm. Please help make sure they have some basic information about ME/CFS. I appreciate the favor. 🧡
