Today’s #ForwardDaybyDay essay touches on imagining what is possible (even if we think it isn’t). As hard as it may be right now, these are the moments when we need to reflect most on what we can do & offering what we have to each other & our neighbors. prayer.forwardmovement.org/fdd/2025-2-4

This is such a great thread.
Let me add that there is nothing that you, an individual, can do, that will scale because you are one person. The people arguing that you should only do things that “scale” are justifying not doing anything.

We are Christians who believe a faith without mercy and empathy is fraudulent, heretical, and devoid of Jesus.

I’ve cast on this hat a half dozen times. Ordinarily, I’d say that a sign I’m not supposed to be #knitting it right now. Problem is no other yarn or pattern is calling to me. Until something does, I suppose I’ll keep hitting my head against this double-knit object. 🤷🏻

There’s not a lot to be proud of coming from this election cycle. Turnout, especially in the “Blue Dot” of Douglas County (could reach 73%) is one of them. Way to go, Nebraska: Number of voters in this election was the second most on record

Have to admit: I’m feeling a bit like one of those older European ladies who washes her stoop and the sidewalk in the morning even though all I’m washing and sweeping is a deck. It faces a busy commercial road (does that count?)

To the guys responding to #manvsbear saying “not all men are violent” you’re missing the point. #ENOUGH men are violent towards women that we have learned to treat all men like they could become violent at any time. You don’t like that? Police yourselves and your bodies/attitudes/actions not ours.
