Someone should invent a mechanism that allows you to signal to drivers behind you when you plan to turn or change lanes, that would be sick

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

People, all people, should be treated fairly and humanely and have the right to a basic level of existence - including food, shelter, water, and medical care.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

If you start talking to me about Dexter, I need you to clarify whether you're talking about the vigilante serial killer or the animated kid with the laboratory because I'm ambi-dexter-ous

Be careful saying negative things about yourself breathing through bamboo from the bottom of a pond. People walking by will tell the pond positive things about it and you'll believe them I love you pond

October is Banned Book Month. What are you reading? I read the insightful "All Boys Aren't Blue" by @iamgmjohnson.bsky.social. A memoir of personal essays about growing up black and queer. Highly recommend if you have a youngster in your life who is both or either.
