My husband (a pastor) and I love to look around after church and see how many people are chatting with each other, and for how long, before they go along their ways. The “official” coffee hour is before church, so it really is a good measure of community. (The coffee stays out for a bit then, too.)

I don’t know him - but we have plenty of mutuals.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

Wow!! 👀

This sweet girl keeps me safe, just like her big sister (and nemesis) did before her. 🥰

A brown tabby cat lying on her side with her eyes closed and the side of her face smooshed on the back of an orange chair in front of a standing lamp with a square pillar base with metal 5-painted stars on the sides of it (we live in Texas - this kind of decor is everywhere and fits in with our house’s aesthetic). The side of my face and shoulder are in front of the cat, sitting in the chair, the cat’s paw rating on my shoulder.

This story is so infuriating and heartbreaking. Imagine having to go through this. :(

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.

FYI: If you know of intersections of religion and pushback to ICE/DHS in general, but especially Chicago, feel free to drop me a line.

Someone was asking about pediatricians that are anti-vax in The Woodlands area on fb the other day, and I doubt they are the first. 🤦🏻‍♀️

fyi - Since I’m a fellow Presbyterian, the Rev. David Black has been popping up as a suggested friend on my facebook in the last week, and I am delighted to report, he is hugging a dog in his profile picture. Love it. ❤️

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

Yeah, I’d rather be sad in Italy and France for a nice break for a bit. And, I’d say our trip to Italy earlier this year has helped us be more resilient the rest of the year.

It really is a Matthew 25 moment. What choices are we going to make each day when we encounter people who need us?

Only ok if you get one of those sun-ripened garden-grown tomatoes. But that’s a very narrow qualification, and not great as a regular meal.

If you can you should…

if you can’t don’t block the generosity of others

Giving is how we get through

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 3d

If you're comfortable, & you have everything you need taken care of with a little extra, you don't have to give to mutual aid, but why wouldn't you? The hoarding mindset is capitalist. You can easily be part of the community that supports real life vulnerable folks. We're all we got. You gon learn.
