"Obeying human law never excuses us from God's higher law of love." Quote credit to @brcremer.bsky.social - and thank you.

A black background with white words that say: ""Illegal" is not the same as "immoral." Many of the most righteous acts in Scripture and history were technically "illegal." The Hebrew midwives disobeyed Pharaoh's order to kill infants, Daniel prayed in defiance of the king's decree, Joseph ignored the law by not turning Mary over to be stoned to death for being pregnant out of wedlock, and Jesus Himself broke Sabbath laws to heal the suffering. Obeying human law never excuses us from God's higher law of love." This quote is attributed to Reverend Benjamin Cremer.

I took the day to go outside and touch grass. It doesn't solve my problems, but it really does help. – Pennsylvania Park, Petoskey Michigan #nature #park #trees

Something I've been constructing with a little help. "Do no intentional harm to another’s life, dignity, or agency that you would not suffer in kind—save in the sacred defense of those who cannot stand alone, or by mutual and voluntary consent." #TheGreenMan'sRede #GoldenRule

A moss-covered tree stump sits in the center of a lush green forest glade, surrounded by ferns and soft forest floor. Dappled sunlight filters through tall trees, casting a serene, almost sacred atmosphere. Overlaid in white serif text is the ethical statement: “Do no intentional harm to another’s life, dignity, or agency that you would not suffer in kind—save in the sacred defense of those who cannot stand alone, or by mutual and voluntary consent.” At the bottom, the statement is signed in green script as “The Green Man’s Rede.”

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

Looking for #startrekrp people to join this gentleman here (my character Tajem Aofi) in a NEW text roleplay set on a remote Federation station circa 2370. Check out disboard.org/server/13852... for more information.

A young Trill Starfleet officer stands in a dimly-lit starship operations room, bathed in blue and amber light from large holographic stellar charts and LCARS displays in the background. His short hair is neatly styled, and his face and neck are marked with the distinctive spotted patterns of a Trill. He wears black-framed glasses and a teal-and-black Starfleet sciences uniform with a delta insignia on his chest. His expression is serious and focused, suggesting he is engaged in monitoring or analyzing stellar data. The atmosphere evokes quiet determination and a sense of cosmic discovery.

DON’T fucking tell me I’m being overdramatic when I say they’re coming for my rights.
Michigan House Bill 4548 was introduced this month to remove LGBTQ+ protections from our state’s civil rights law.
We just GOT those protections—TWO YEARS AGO.
This is real. This is now. And I’m not staying quiet.

Blurry, warmly lit photo of two grooms in tuxedos holding hands and facing each other. One has a short beard and the other has long curly hair. Overlaid in ornate white script is the text: “Your annual reminder that someone else’s marriage is their civil contract… not your personal altar.” The words “their” and “your” are highlighted with a glowing gold effect.

Photo of two people walking side by side down a city street, their arms visible in the foreground with fingers gently entwined. One wears a black leather sleeve, the other a blue denim jacket. Overlaid text reads: “Your annual reminder that I should be able to express the same levels of affection or commitment that you do.”

On a sunset background going from purple to blue to gold to orange, the text reads "Your annual reminder that who I love doesn't change any part of your life, unless *you* let it."

On a six-stripe rainbow background, the text reads "Your annual reminder that the pride in prider month means being unashamed, not conceited."

“I was hungry” and you cut SNAP.

“I was thirsty” and you cut funding to ensure clean water.

“I was sick” and you cut medicaid.

“I was a stranger” and you deported me.

“I was in prison” and you just left me there to rot.

Guten Morgen! Wishing all you good people out there a good week. Hang in there. #BlueSkyMonday #Trees #Spring #Meadow #Oak #Nature #Photography #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #NatureTherapy #YouMatter

A towering Oregon oak spreads its gnarly limbs to the bright blue sky. Wispy clouds play in the visible patch of open sky on the upper right of the picture. The oak, with fresh, bright green leaves grows out of the lower left of the picture in a grassy meadow on the side of a hill covered in tall grass with dots of blue, green alkanet flowers poking out in the dappled early morning sunlight. More trees grow on the sides and in the background of the picture.

It’s not the clearest picture as I only had my phone at hand, but look at this adorable fuzzy buzzy photobomb! More deets in the Alt text. #Bumblebees #Lupine #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Spring #Pollinators #Nature #Photography #Insects #Invertebrates #PNW #iNaturalist #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice

Picture of a purple and white blooming, sunlit lupine stalk with shaded, blurry, bright greenery blurred in the background. In the lower right part of the picture a fuzzy, plump, yellow and black bumblebee with yellow antennae and a flashing, sunlit right wing buzzes toward its next target. iNaturalist says this is a Bombus mixtus, or “fuzzy-horned bumblebee”, which is native to the Pacific Northwest. So happy to see you here!

The honour of first 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻-𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 pope belonged to his immediate predecessor, Pope Francis, who was born in Buenos Aires—which is in Argentina, which is in South America, which is part of the Americas. #RestInPeace #PopeFrancis

Y’all know I’m a dyed-in-the-wool globalist, so this announcement shouldn’t shock anyone: May God richly and sincerely bless the papacy of Pope Leo XIV—the first 𝗨.𝗦.-𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 pope, but 𝘯𝘰𝘵 the first 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻-𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 pope. #Pope #Vatican #Conclave

When the felon says little girls don’t need 30 dolls-
When he says children don’t need 40 pencils-
When women’s healthcare is attacked-
When there’s thoughts and prayers instead of legislation-
When USAID is eliminated-
Don’t tell me this is the Party of family values.
