My sibling in Christ, how about we just mind our own business and let people work out their own lives? You aren’t the expert on what another person needs. And I don’t care if someone else got more time to take a test or someone read it to them. I’m bored just contemplating that.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

People: I just don’t see how these patristic trinitarian & christological controversies are relevant TODAY.
Also people: I mean why couldn’t Jesus be AI?

So today a local business leader informed one of our clergy that he wanted them to stop being so political. “You have stuff like ‘respect the dignity of every human being’ up on your website. That’s over the line” he said. I hate this timeline so much.

Also, “all Cretans are liars”. So take that, inhabitants of Crete.
"I bring not peace but a sword" is in the New Testament
A gruesomely detailed apocalypse is in the New Testament
Hell, the almighty god of everything cursing a fig tree because it didn't have fruit is in the New Testament

Works for voice mail too. I have a friend who had a bit whenever she left messages for me, complete with voice acting.
It's important to write hand-written letters to your friends when you need to send them something. Ideally while doing a bit. Maybe you're a union soldier, separated from your ladylove. Maybe a hot air balloon operator.
We mustn't let the realities of today restrain the nonsense within us.

Mary did you know? That God fills the hungry with good things and sends the rich away empty?

Happy World AIDS Day! Today is yet another reason to really resent Elon Musk and the shuttering of USAID, as well as a call to remember those who died without access to effective treatments. May we be brave and loud in their honor.

Few things in life are more enraging than losing your voice due to a cold your kids gave you, and therefore being unable to tell them to knock off doing whatever hijinks they’re pursuing.

“So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.”
Some say it’s bad to be “woke”. But the Bible tells us to keep awake. I listen to love over tyrants, every time. ⚓️

PSA: There are some accounts on here that are essentially religion news *influencers,* meaning they pump out viral posts that contain information that is *sometimes* accurate, sometimes *partially* accurate, sometimes purely speculative, and sometimes just…false.

I have learned, from my kids, that the key to Liked Kids TV is just a lot of yelling random words with great confidence. Power Rangers, Yu-Gi-Oh, Beyblades—someone got a word generator and some confidence and went to town.

The part where the author asserts that No Child Left Behind contained INCENTIVES to diagnose kids with ADHD, which she then describes as “supports to help them do better in school.” Lord, be a deep breathing exercise.
I don't think I've ever disagreed and agreed more strongly with a piece, seesawing from one paragraph to the next.
