The United Church of Canada has fought for a woman’s right to birth control and abortion since 1923. We believe in science and teach evolution in Sunday School. I think Democratic politicians with strong religious beliefs should campaign on those beliefs.

These Spiritual Democrats Urge Their Party to Take a Leap of Faith

In a party that has grown less religious, some prominent Democrats say discussing their deepest beliefs can be a way to connect — when it’s authentic.

Texas voters will decide Tuesday whether the state should continue spending $1 billion a year to secure the state’s water supply.

Part of that investment will be spent to find new water supply.

Female therapists should have sex with their 1ncel patients

Replies from Men Only

Imo female therapists if they really want to fix "1ncels" they should have sex with them. they can charge more if they feel like. i mean this will help indeed a patient with his self confidence. and about getting better in bed. Unlike what they say work on yourself you are getting better and shit. and giving shitty tasks which will end up in nothing ever happening, Also its not like they don't fuck their chad patients they would do it for free. Its so over.

I think this chemo week I need to try even harder than usual to avoid social media. It's no place to be when you're struggling, for the most part.

I do get lonely lying around in bed, but I need to find another solution. If I think of anything I'll keep you posted.

From Lawrence O'Donnell: The Convicted FElon's approval numbers are as low as they were after the J6 insurrection, only 37% approval. The Majority of Americans disapprove of everything that he is doing. The economy, immigration, tariffs, use of ICE & national guard, healthcare & so on.

This appears to be gaining steam. I hope it happens. Money and our work are some of the only leverages we have right now to stop the steady creep of fascism in our country.
