How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?
Here's what this is actually about, dumbass

While your boyfriend is thinking about the Roman Empire, you're reading about the ancient anarchists who escaped it.

This sort of belief, that Christianity is the most moral religion in human history and that it acted as a moralizing agent that "civilized savages" is sadly still a somewhat common belief among older members of even liberally minded churches like the Episcopal Church. I've heard people say this.
VP JD Vance stood before a crowd and tried to falsify history, claiming Christians ended widespread mass child-sacrifice practices among Native Americans

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement.

It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it.

Review of Radical Antiquity at @mstaronline.bsky.social: "This charming book is an unusually exciting and memorable text and the inclusion of very up-to-date reading lists only adds to the sense that further discoveries are yet to come. Very much recommended.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/comm...

Sometimes Catholics really do go hard, still
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Odd and somewhat heartening to see my work on Superman's creation in the context of the radical Jewish Left of the 1930s & 1940s. I don't know that I would agree that there was an anti-Zionist politics in the earliest Superman stories, but this video otherwise does a good job expanding my article.
