You are about to watch the whole world respect a chosen name. It’s that easy.

So, I am super happy to discover the lockers back in place, the ability to choose in-store or locker pick-up, plus an option for requesting an accessible location (lower level locker for wheelchair users)! P.S. This should be available options at all stores! #accessibility #downwithableism #dei

Got to give a kudos to @ikeacanada.bsky.social for listening to feedback on accessibility! Last year I complained about the store removing pick-up lockers & its impact on those with mobility challenges. Particularly when it meant walking further to customer service & dealing with pushing a cart.

History shows unchecked executive power erodes justice. From Jim Crow to apartheid, leaders have who dismantled protections deepened oppression. Trump’s rollbacks of DEI, immigration, and trade echo this dangerous pattern. If unchallenged, the impact will last generations.

Hey @cityofrichmondbc.bsky.social how come this drop-off area for the @translink.bsky.social Brighouse Canada Line has not been cleared at all? Made it inaccessible by wheelchair, and a complete hazard! #accessibility

“Christian dominionism distorts the message of Jesus, who called for love, mercy, and humility—not authoritarian control…True Christianity uses power to uplift the oppressed not to impose policies designed to compel piety.” @jemartisby.bsky.social

As I’ve been deconstructing my white evangelical experience, I’ve come to realize how pervasive this theology is within evangelical circles. On the surface it sounds so reasonable, even biblical, but as Jemar Tisby @jemartisby.bsky.social notes in his article examining Hegseth;

Loren Cunningham, one of the founders of YWAM, was a key proponent of this theology, and it impacted many aspects of life as a missionary, such as spiritual warfare and intercessory prayer.

This ideological framework asserts that Christians must have a proactive role within these 7 spheres in order to shape society according to so-called biblical principles, thus transforming society and fulfilling the “great commission”.

The appointment of Hegseth as US Secretary of Defence is a troubling progression. In the early 2000s, when I worked with YWAM in South Africa, I was introduced to the concept of the “7 spheres of society” aka “7 Mountains Mandate” in which we should aim to have influence, or DOMINION over.

Cartoon by Nick Anderson If you call yourself a Christian and you support the removal of protections for immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers (whether undocumented, illegal or not), 2SLGBTQIA+ folx, and any other vulnerable population, you have deeply misunderstood the radical message of Jesus.
Cartoon that has Jesus’s standing on rocks arms outstretched saying “blessed are the merciful” while a cartoon Trump is in the foreground putting toward Jesus and shouting “Radical Leftist!”
