This is what I mean when I say that people need Jesus.

The report emphasized how much easier life would be if you walked into the next Christian place of worship you saw and adopted all of its beliefs wholesale.

Every picture of JD Vance makes it look like he was the first one dumped on the latest season of Love Is Blind and he is bitter AF about it.

Every picture of JD Vance makes it look like he just logged off of Instagram after spending 2 hours bullying teenage girls with comments like "fatty" or "I can't believe you showed your thighs like that" from a Finsta account

If we’re doing Tuesday Trash Takes, mine is that I hate the way most people sing the National Anthem at sporting events.

There have been literal Nazis in downtown Nashville the past few weekends, but sure, let's both-sides all of this.

My God it is rich to hear Republican politicians lecturing people on the need to turn down the temperature of the national political rhetoric.

Guy literally had secrets in his bathroom, selling them to foreign nationals. Calls people to steal votes. Sends a mob to keep himself in office. This country pissing all over its history to bend over backwards for this guy? This is the guy we bring down the whole experiment for?

Waking up on the West Coast is always damn near traumatic. Your inbox is in disarray. Way too much news has already happened. People on social media are in an entirely different headspace than you. It’s time for me to go home.

My spouse came in from walking the dog and said, “Hello my slug wife.”

Man, remember that weird podcast of that guy who was trying to figure out what happened to Richard Simmons, and Richard was like, "I'm just vibing. Please leave me alone."?

I’ve started watching the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders documentary series, and that is a RICH TEXT. Also seeing the way femininity is performed in such a specific way in the place where I grew up made a lot of things make sense for me.

The way I’m just going to keep yelling into the void about how the presence of homeless people doesn’t mean that a place is unsafe.

The main answer to that question is, surprisingly, because it does

Had my first pastoral brush with medically-assisted suicide since I’ve been in California, and I did not like it! ⚓️

The most SF headline and story that I’ve ever seen.

Fortunately, the case was resolved, and all of us were released. Jury service complete for the year!

I’m determined to be the best, most attentive juror that ever jurored.

I am wildly susceptible to "jury duty is you securing a fair and impartial trial for your fellow citizens, a bedrock of our American justice system and democracy" rhetoric. Yes! Civic duty!

Nothing activates my authority issues (overly deferential) like anything involving the government.

I often listen to audiobooks on Spotify on 1.2x speed, and then the next morning, when I'm praying Morning Prayer with the podcast (also on Spotify), I'm like, "Why am I speed-running the confession?" ⚓

the most Democratic Party thing of all time is everyone standing around vaguely hinting at something they think might need to be done but not actually coming up with a plan to do it or even a process to make an actual decision

I’ve been on standby for jury duty all week and was summoned today. I swear I’ve seen more of the civic courthouse this summer than I ever planned to.

Dealing with stress by cooking overly elaborate weeknight dinners and completely revamping my work wardrobe.

My life is not in a place to be able to foster right now, but I really wish it was! Greyhounds!

#Greyhound friends: Caliente race track in Tijuana is closing later this month, and about 150 dogs will need foster homes. If you're in Northern CA and are considering adopting, please sign up to foster with GFFL: www.greyhoundfriendsforlife.org/foster-homes... @darthbluesky.bsky.social

It’s just so triggering to see the same dynamics play out in the highest level of politics that are also present in my personal and professional life.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.
