Recently, a crew from Piedmont UU Church had fun putting some muscle behind our efforts to end homelessness and housing inequality as they participated in a project with Habitat for Humanity in Charlotte.

I always lose Whammageddon because Last Christmas does not have an ear worm for me, so I have to go listen to it if I’m going to identify it, so I might as well just deliberately lose.

So let’s go do it for a great cause.

Neurotypicals will be like "This person has bad vibes 😱" and it's just a harmless autistic person with common autistic traits.

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?

That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

Inside you’ll also find a zine on how to report ICE along with instructions on how to fold it together. We keep each other safe.

My favorite point people make about Border Patrol/ICE is “well if you have nothing to hide you have no reason to fear.”

Then why are their agents covering their faces? 🙄😒
