iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

So the White House has been told they have to respond the the court order to allow the network journalists back by 12:30 ET. What then? What is the judge going to do? This feels like a teenager when they figure out that their parent’s threats tend to be hollow. Contempt? I’d love to see it.

Yesterday I drank my last Diet Coke. The phosphoric acid is bad for my sluggish kidney, and so I’ve had to say good bye. Hubs reminded me that now that we’ve left the Mormon church, I have so many healthier (!) and tastier options for my morning caffeine consumption, so cold brew it is. Sigh.

Oof. As always, so proud to no longer be an inhabitant of this theocracy or a member of its church. This is embarrassing and ugly. Mormons fighting Mormons.

If you come at me with blanket generalizations and black and white thinking, I will call out your inconsistencies and then block you, just to be clear. Nuance is an important skill that seems to be lacking these days. Also, less scrolling and knee jerk reactions and more reading actual books, ok?

“This is what it is to be a common woman- I had forgotten. A common woman does not speak, and if she does, nobody listens.” -Philippa Gregory, Royal Witch I loved this so much that I actually forced myself to stop reading too much at a time because I just never wanted it to end. #booksky

Shorts and a hoodie season (anything from 65 to 30 degrees) is the holy grail for Minnesotans. We have just entered that season and are in heaven and will not be taking any questions or dissent at this time. 😆

Scrolling insta. Minding my own business. Literally laughed out loud and then said “Oof.” Laughing to keep from crying. This book was instrumental in my early deconstruction, btw, and years later it’s still one of the best selling books about Mormons on Amazon, which is intriguing. #exmo #booksky

The Vikings really hit the hot dog dance from Mickey Mouse 😭 #shorts #fyp #nfl #football #vikings

We are Eagles fans in Vikings country, but this might make us convert. Watching my boy do the hot dog dance when he was little was one of my favorite things. Well done, Vikings. Well done.

The LDS church is leaning full on into those evangelical holidays, huh? They might want to read the belief statement of the “Back to Church” movement, because I’m thinking they might have a few problems with most of the bullet points. Also, hang one of these on my door. I dare you. Hell to the no.

I’m lying in bed watching Food Network while my husband cleans all the bathrooms. I can’t help but feel like I somehow won at life. 😂

I’m seeing a lot of progressive Mormons tying themselves in knots over this political abortion letter being read from the pulpit today. Cognitive dissonance is a painful, confusing experience, and it’s hard to watch from the outside after having experienced myself for so long.

I have stage four endometriosis and was told years ago by my OB that if I were to ever get pregnant again, I would have to go to the doctor immediately to check for ectopic pregnancy because my risk was so high. Ectopic pregnancy kills the mother without a medical abortion. The fetus is not viable.

5’1” and feisty and not sorry. 😂 And yes, I do get sympathy (and occasional rude laughs) at the grocery store. Why does Trader Joe’s insist on keeping the burrata on the top shelf?!?

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sends out letter opposing Idaho pro-abortion ballot initiative

“While the church has a policy of neutrality for political parties and candidates, it does weigh in on political issues that it finds significant.” Pay very close attention to the political issues that they stay quiet on, and remember if they’re opposed to something, they have no problem saying so.

We’re having a “Minnesota Monsoon” this entire weekend, so I guess I’m staying in bed and knocking out an ARC or two today. And yes, I just laughed at the double meaning. Both may be necessary. (For those wondering, I’m currently reading and reviewing Royal Witch by Philippa Gregory) #booksky
