Everyone should be promoting the I've had it podcast after this disgusting right wing cancellation campaign. We love our strong wine moms ๐Ÿค youtube.com/@ivehaditpodcast

When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: โ€œWhy do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?โ€ #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

Democrats, if they play their cards right, could put the screws on the Republicans for many decades: - nuke the filibuster - nuke the electoral college - new Dem trifectas gerrymander in blatant Dem favor - tilt the 2030 census counting to favor Dem states We can do this.
NYT: Democratic Gains Could Advance an Alternative to the Electoral College โ€œLawmakers in key states said on Thursday they had already begun having conversations this week about introducing legislation to join the National Popular Vote compact before 2028.โ€ nytimes.com/2026/11/05/us/elโ€ฆ

are we finally going to reckon with how subversivist tendencies in queer spaces are disastrous for transsex people who have a medical need to transition

Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future.

If you are a trans woman, you are obligated to become a feminist. If becoming a woman holds no world-historical significance to you, then youโ€™re psychically barren. Being a woman is more than an aesthetic, lest you be a โ€˜femboyโ€™. Read your foremothers, please.

when youโ€™re a trans woman you have to spend your whole childhood being derisively compared to a girl for not performing masculinity well enough, then when it turns out you actually are a girl suddenly everyone calls you a man and says itโ€™s impossible to be misogynistic toward you
Replying to @nuancefem
Trans women grow up facing misogyny as children tbh

This chapter really recontextualized how I viewed the okama honestly. While they still do look like trans caricatures, I think it says a lot that Ivankov can give them hormones, yet they choose not to, as they look how they want, and arenโ€™t afraid to do so. They have self-love.

It really is crazy how much evangelicals have monopolised mainstream discussions of Christianity in America because this is literally just official Catholic Church doctrine - it's what I was taught at school.
Several years ago I met a guy that was a Christian and believed God used evolution to bring about humanity

Why is it that binary trans people are hated for โ€œattaching themselves to the gender binaryโ€ yet the cis people whose social structures cause us to adhere to it get a free pass?
Replying to @lovefleki
looking at replies to this makes me realize that there are a shocking amount of trans people who are still attached to the gender binary

Watch this to the end, you wonโ€™t regret it. This is what happens when youโ€™re at happy hour and are reminded you agreed to do an interview about your race.

Capital punishment is unacceptable in any case. The planned broadcast of the taking of a life by firing squad is nothing short of performative barbarism. Do we really want our children, who will inevitably view it, exposed to the pornography of a state-sponsored slaying?

Gotta hand it to Fr. Martin, โ€œI deal patiently with my detractors because theyโ€™re all secretly gayโ€ is a devastating troll. Really good stuff.
I receive more and more of these messages: apologies from people who used to protest ministry to LGBTQ people, who end up coming out. Just received this today. Name withheld. Often those who are the most filled with rage are the ones struggling with their own sexuality.

Itโ€™s time for Catholics and all nonevangelical peoples to recognize the threat that the Evangelical movement poses to the world.
Twitter is not the place to hash out deep sectarian ideas but it's also getting harder and harder not to notice the split screen here

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
