i listen to this podcast by two priests who talk about what life as a priest is like because I find their stories interesting, and one of the best moments was when the younger priest, baby priest we shall call him, absolutely lost it on the podcast because he had been preaching, then he saw someone do a full body sigh, shoulders up and down, then look at their watch, and then shoot baby priest a dirty look. Because priests are human too, this priest found it irritating on a human level, which, okay, I can see that--and then, he spent several minutes vehemently (and jokingly, but also, vehemently) proposing that Catholicism should update its rules so if anyone does that, the priest is allowed to come down from the altar and challenge the person to hand-to-hand combat. He argued that more people would come back to church if there was a chance of seeing the priest getting in a fistfight and in fact they might go to church multiple times a day. He stubbornly refused to allow exemptions for little old ladies. he was fully and passionately committed to the idea of Catholicism allowing priests to fistfight parishioners in the middle of mass, and I'm going to say it: i think he was right

this is your thanksgiving reminder that the chinook tribe is still fighting for federal recognition, which means they are unable to access programs and resources. please take some time today to sign their petition and donate if you’re able to. and if you live in washington or oregon please write to your elected officials.

This is so fucking insane North Gaza is literally being exterminated as we speak and we have people online debating it like it’s just some far off issue they can lament but ultimately just shrug their shoulders at…. I am actually disgusted to my core & tired of people addressing this casually when the entire healthcare system in North Gaza has collapsed and everyone’s getting wiped out with disease if not starvation. I have no interest in anyone debating me on this I think it’s so fucked up to even think there’s anything worth debating anymore

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

it was a lose-lose for non usamericans anyway. but i feel for everyone plain and regular that's gonna have their life be living hell for the next four years. leave your house more and seek out your own community and build your own collaborative space with your closest neighbours and look out for each other as the paradigms shift. theres nothing youll need more than understanding and generosity and solidarity & nothing youll regret about extending them to the regular people youll live around for the next four years
