Dale checked off 2 of the boxes of ways people control others: Emotional abuse - gaslighting /making Kat feel crazy Minimizing, denying, blaming - he did all of these and tried to blame her for not being healed from her ex, instead of taking responsibility for his actions #BIP #BachelorinParadise

Realizing some explanation might be needed for all two people who recently started following me here (thanks!) at #uccsynod. I also unapologetically watch The Bachelor franchise (ok a little apologetically..) and talk about it online. I am a complex woman.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

As DOGE began infiltrating government agencies and targeting federal staff for termination, I started interviewing tech workers on the front lines. With the mass layoffs unfolding today, and with their permission, I'm sharing their stories. This is what it's been like to endure Musk's campaign.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.
