So, she has a lot of really interesting Bible study materials that are not specific to Baptist theology - she’s done some interesting research on the temple in Jerusalem, that sort of thing - so she has appeal to a general Protestant audience (and possibly to Catholics too, I’ve never talked about Beth Moore with my…

Shannon, if you haven’t already done so, you should check out the writings of Rachel Held Evans and add her to your nightstand, too.

Dare I say I wish they had gone further? Name names.

And the fact that neither of them named the names behind some of the more horrible accounts—such as Archie’s skin color concern—means they’re either REALLY forgiving and classier than the Palace when it comes to spilling the tea, or they’re still terrified of the potential repercussions.

Doesn’t the astronaut senator have a twin brother???.

We call Costco thunderdome and I hate going there.  The primary issue being we only have 3 Costco locations in an area that should have 6. 

I am not familiar with the book, but I do want to congratulate you on all of the efforts you’ve put towards this challenge, and also for your sobriety achievements. May you continue to find the clarity and peace of mind you seek.

I’m just gonna wear what I like and what I think looks good on me. If you think I look dumb, that’s fine with me. The rest of you can argue amongst yourselves about what’s popular if you like.

So we think it’s a good idea with a…

This kind of us vs them squabbling is exactly what the 1% want to see to avoid having to pay their fair share of anything in our system. The only contribution this writer made is to decry parents getting 3k per kid. So. Stupid. I mean, really embarrassingly brainless. They should get on unemployment and give up this…

I ran from the disruption, but came back for the colonics.

One of my dearest (but long distance) friends recently went on a trip to Central America just for fun and I have no idea what to say to her. I’m flabbergasted.

“we have received very little guidance from those in power about what is permissible versus what is advisable”

What a shitty response to a valid question. There are consequences for breaking the rules of sensible behavior, and I don’t see why one should be unquestioningly sympathetic of someone who knowingly brought a misfortune upon themselves.

I would just withhold my sympathy to the friend. As others here pointed out, holding onto (or spreading) the judgmental negative feeling doesn’t help, but it also is based on real risks. It IS more of a risk to go PLURAL restaurants (sounds like often by the way the letter is written) among what other risks? than to…
