Kintsugi is a Japanese art of repairing broken pottery and other ceramics using lacquer and powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Kintsugi translates to "joining with gold". Instead of hiding cracks, kintsugi highlights them with gold to tell the story of the object, finding beauty in damage.

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋
An illustration showing a metaphorical “large high wall” separating “Church” and “State.” On the side labeled “Church,” buildings resembling places of worship are captioned “Religion goes here.” On the side labeled “State,” there are government buildings and a public school labeled “Science goes here.” The top of the image displays the text “BUILD THIS WALL.”

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father. Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

I met someone last night who said that she’s “pro-life” in that she doesn’t believe in elective abortions bc of her religion. But she also said she doesn’t think the government should legislate on abortion. She votes pro-choice bc she knows not everyone has the same religious beliefs. Respect.
