That's part of why this line from @shaunaiequist 's I Guess I Haven't Learned that Yet, speaks to me: "Prayer is a way to entrust the people we love to God, esp. when things feel out of control." Still working the trust angle.

I started praying before I knew what I was doing or who I was praying to. It has been an essential part of my life. And yet, over the course of the past 18 mos, I've lost so much confidence & comfort re prayer. There is a sort of deconstruction happening. ...

I look forward to the day when churches not only have mothers stand and hand them a rose on Mothers' Day but let every women who wants to mother a child via adoption, fostering, or birth to know they will never have to struggle to pay for diapers, formula, or child care. #MothersDay

It’s all too easy to criticize and denounce Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerberg’s oppulent lifestyles. But if I’m honest, the line between greed and contentment can be tough to discern. Greed's Pull open.substack.com/pub/dorothyl...

So essentially what the admin is communicating is anyone they dislike, for any reason, even if it's as simple as offending Trump's enormous but very fragile ego, could be captured and deported. No questions asked. We have descended into fascism.

It's becoming increasingly clear that Trump is little more than a willing puppet controlled by Musk. Musk was not elected, but is wielding the power, or the chain saw. Their choices are evil and will have horrific long-term consequences for Americans and the world. What's happening is shameful.

Curious to hear what other writers/creative types are thinking abt or doing regarding staying or leaving X. Bcz I refuse to pay, my post views have tanked. I have a book coming out in 6 mo. but the book is on misogyny. I'm guessing not too many folks on X give a damn about this topic. Time to go?

Anyone have an example of a time when a man stepped in to stand up for or protect you? Not in church setting. Could be when your physical safety was in jeopardy or when you were being belittled or marginalized at work.

It reminds me of how the SBC claimed they couldn't keep a data base of abusers but they were able to track where women were pastors (and kick them out), even though there were far fewer women pastor than sexual predators. Priorities?

This is the last line in Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning: "The world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best." We must remember this and allow this reality to motivate us to keep serving, keep loving, keep trying.
