It’s hard to be the person you want to be all the time.

Don’t stop trying.

I genuinely think the most validating thing anyone has told me about this situation is “[it] was like watching an actual saint try and convince a possessed man to stop spewing green stuff and throwing shit everywhere.”

Caught myself looking over some texts from a situation a while back and was stunned at how rational I sounded, especially when the other half of the conversation was making out like I was literally insane. I felt like I MUST BE crazy. I was a wreck. I want to thank everyone who assured me that I

That’s the one I thought WASN’T going too far. 😆 It’s a fine line to walk between too much and not enough. I fear nothing I come up with will be as epic as your Gilgamesh post.

There’s a lot to learn about Sects. The sects hole is a fertile one.

Please forgive the autocorrect typos. I’m wearing my thumb brace again today, so typing on my phone is difficult

He must have been way stupid high on something because the fact that he slide ON HIS FACE on pavement and got up running and the was only bothered when he biffed it again and bashed his own skull into the curb is fucking WILD.

I feel that feel. I used to be much more vocal about it and now I stick more to sharing info that I think is important or helpful. I don’t need to stoke the fires every day. That burned me out. I’m still politically active active though — the secretary of a statewide PAC

a white woman yelling at a bunch of women of color is pretty low level. This lady didn’t even sit on the ground and cry, knock shit over, or steal someone else’s drink.

I’ve been awake and asleep for several hours at a time multiple times today because of pain and the resulting fatigue, and that has led my body to believe it is a new day. So I panicked thinking it was Monday afternoon and I was about to be late for a workshop. Nope, all good. 😅

The Amanas follow the Community of True Inspiration (aka the Amana Church Society), which is a sect of Radical Pietism, which broke off from Lutheranism. Sects on Sects on Sects.

I’m seeing bail funds being shared and remember back in 2020 some were scams. The safety basics are checking if it’s a 501(c)3 or finding something from the National Bail Fund Network. Please feel free to reply with any tips/resources www.communityjusticeexchange.org/en/nbfn-dire...

Omfg i hate

I despise

I loathe AI

Someone sent me a link to an AI music video

And it was disgustingly good

Now.

While this might sound like a reason to be pro AI

I have something to say

This is EXACTLY why we should be anti AI

Yeah. He got away with framing it as me being possessive for way too long. THIS is how he spoke to me.

but catch each other by finding their love letters, but the they go for it, and in the end, the noblewomen tell the men they must wait a year, because they have to go into mourning because the princess’s dad died. So you get more of the idea of a dumb, pointless fight

Hollyween @hollychristine.bsky.social · 18h

Because of their use for fighting. Shakespeare probably helped this along by using “logger-head” as an insult in “Love’s Labours Lost”

“Ah you whoreson logger-head, you were borne to doe me shame.” Basically a group of noblemen has taken a vow not to date for a while, and then they all fall in love

religious sect under 30 minutes away, but people will definitely remember the brand Amana and now all Whirlpool brands are manufactured out of Amana.
Basically, I’m so surrounded by sects I can SMELL IT.

Well, I live in Cedar Rapids, IA, the home of Quaker Oats (different days of the week you can tell what veteran they’re making. Crunch Berry day is a city-wide favorite) and we’re only 45 minutes from Kalona, an Amish and Mennonite community, PLUS we have the Amana Colonies, which are a separate

Most likely the idiom comes from the meaning of loggerhead as a long iron tool that was used to melt tar to spread for construction purposes (and in America in particular, make drinks) the build obviously makes them a pretty handy weapon when you need one, given the heft and the ball at the end.

My lower back/right leg are killing me. I really hope they figure out what is wrong. If my other leg starts hurting this bad (so far, only my hip) I’m not gonna be able to sleep. The numbness is much preferred.

Remember, the American civil rights movement coexisted with armed Black self-defense groups and urban uprisings that put pressure on politicians. Power respects pressure, not politeness. A protest can spark a movement, but without escalation it's useless. No peace.

I don’t know what you would call this style of video I am seeing lately with the absurd story being told in all earnestness, but they are my new favorite.
