I have a special set of skills. Skills that can make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my treats go now, that will be the end of it. I will not pursue you (unless I get hungry again). But if you do not, I will find you. And I will judge you. #JudgyCat #CatsOfBlueSky

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

When you (who aced all of your writing courses in school) send the draft of a memo for required vetting by management, and they use AI to do the job and provide new drafts which comes out worse.

To hate another human being for their gender identity or sexual orientation is the marker of someone whose humanity is fundamentally broken.

While I am a Protestant, I sincerely hope that Pope Leo continues the work that Pope Francis brought to light. Is any Pope perfect? Surely not. However, the work to bring attention to the poor, the marginalized, and those who many treat as unequal (LGBTQ) when they are not takes Christ.

There are so many days when I would give up so much just to feel desirable. As a friend. As someone worth comforting in their pain. As someone likable in more than a superficial way. As someone “good enough”. I don’t ever think I’ll feel that.

I don’t need to be a hero. I don’t need to be special. Or powerful. Or rich. But what I do desperately need is for everyone in this world as I know it to be kind to their neighbors; and to remember their neighbors are everyone, everywhere. This would be the greatest gift I could receive.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

Getting my MMR again as a booster this morning. Yes, I had it as a child. If others were having it the way they should, I wouldn’t be concerned enough to do it again. We eradicated measles, mumps, and rubella. Why has Ontario had a thousand cases, along with the outbreak in Texas and further?
