@dieworkwear Speaking of dressing a boy up for church, last week I went shopping because my son outgrew his last dress shoes, and I LITERALLY couldn’t find shoes without those white sport soles on the bottom. Easter is in a week and idk what to do.

a suit worn with sneakers and "fun socks" has an infantilizing quality to it. like a boy being made to dress up for church.

@Nullimus @DrummondBrief @MarcoFoster_ When I got married, my new married name was not on the marriage license, as I applied for the marriage license as a single woman with my fiancé. So it wasn’t accepted in the state of Texas as a name-change document when I moved there and had to apply for new state identification.

Oops, my bad. It does not currently mention marriage certificates to be used to facilitate verification of married women who have changed their names when married. It does this instead. "The SAVE America Act would require states to collect and document proof of citizenship from voters, which few states currently do, and establish additional voter list maintenance processes. A recent University of Maryland study indicates that as many as 21 million eligible voters do not have easy access to documents proving citizenship. While prior versions of the bill would require the name on the ID to exactly match the name on the provided documentary proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, the most recent version would allow individuals who have changed their names to provide an affidavit attesting to the name change to prove citizenship. This provision was added after concerns about the ability of married women or others whose birth names don’t match their current legal names to register to vote." Source: ncsl.org/state-legislat…

Elizabeth Banks explains why the SAVE Act is all about voter suppression: “The SAVE Act? You gotta stop it. It’s unconstitutional. We are not gonna require people to go get a passport to vote. This is a right enshrined in the Constitution. Stop making it harder for people to vote. Start making it easier. We know who benefits and who doesn’t”

@tomfgoodwin @Pinterest I was just telling my husband about this. More than 50% of my Pinterest feed is total AI-generated and it SUCKS.

Did it ever dawn on the geniuses at Pinterest that AI content completely destroys the entire fucking point I can’t wait to plan a baby shower with things that don’t exist. I can’t wait to be inspired by an impossible house. Check out this kitchen that’s misleading etc etc

@Kecojazo @Pontifex You’re for open borders and you’re MAGA?

@Pontifex Ok so we agree. Open the walls to Vatican City. Cast out your security. Show your compassion. Welcome all in to your city. Do it now, for you are the one who should lead by example.

All men and women, especially Christians, are called to fix their gaze on those who suffer, on the pain of the lonely, and on those who are emarginated for various reasons, for without them we cannot build a just society. Only together can we build communities of solidarity capable of caring for everyone, in which wellbeing and peace can flourish for the benefit of all. Caring for the humanity of others helps us to live our own lives to the full.

@MelchBD @jdniemeyer @sxsw I see visitors on a rooftop, and nothing unique. No evidence you experienced anything local, literally putting yourself above the city.

@jdniemeyer @sxsw Im just visiting and spending money on your local businesses What can be learned?

Last day at @sxsw and I now know why founders moves to Austin You can see, more builders, more frontier tech, more AI offices You can understand the support from the city, lower taxes, abundance of energy and affordable living This will be a huge AI, robotics and energy hub for years & no doubt entrepreneurs and rich Californians will continue to move here

@twitvolh @RichRaho What about Christian immigrants?

@RichRaho Yeah those blanket statements don’t mean anything in the real world. Immigrants don’t even think this way…because this is dangerous.

NY’s Archbishop Hicks: “Just as Irish immigrants once came to this country seeking hope and opportunity, today many immigrants come to our nation…we are called to see them not as strangers, but as brothers and sisters.” thegoodnewsroom.org/full-text-arch…

@NeuterTheDebt @RichRaho Who is Them? Like are you talking about just Mexicans, or like maybe a conservative French immigrant? What would assimilation look like to you?

@RichRaho What if we see them reject assimilation in favor of an external, rival agenda?

@LauraMiers @XianJaneway Here in Alabama, children under 12 are outright DENIED vaccination again at Covid. USA Heath is the leading healthcare system in LA and doesn’t even carry any >12y doses. The Health Departments have it but refuse to open the vials. Drugstores here also claim to not carry it.

Early studies confirmed LongCovid patients have a lower quality of life than advanced cancer patients. The CDC also confirmed this. Then we deliberately normalized Covid & “accepted exposure,” because no one wants to pay for this. A year ago, 48M Americans had LongCovid.

You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. This is how prayer works. — Pope Francis

@EugeneIpavec @kisstheblade_ Idk poverty kind of forces people to do lots of things they find revolting. Sorry kids have to eat just what they had access to… like on WIC, they cover Kix but not Lucky Charms, for example.

@kisstheblade_ I kind of feel that if your parents go out of their way to force you to eat something that you find physically revolting, that's a moral failing as well

Ooh, so close! Actually picky eating is a moral failing because it's rude and inconsiderate towards the people - your hosts, your mother, your grandma, your significant other, whoever - who have so kindly and generously prepared your meal!

@MAffable33525 @usnehal @dieworkwear @mechanical_monk My seven year old does have the same exact shoes and slim leg jeans as the first pic.

@usnehal @dieworkwear @mechanical_monk He looks like a child in the before picture.

2 months in, gf is slowly menswearguying me before and after

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

@DeL8t @lumineignis89 @BethMooreLPM Dude, you accused others of focusing on the gnat. America is NOT the kingdom of God, and was never promised to be. Zoom OUT. America is the gnat. Watch your tone, get rid of your anger, and start following Christ, who is not an American or a Republican.

@ATiffanyB @lumineignis89 @BethMooreLPM Ding ding ding! Now we're talking! See, when you dig deep down, you see that babies alone just doesn't explain conservative scorched earth approach to this issue. It's a cover (unconscious for many) to what they really live and fight for.

I long for a day when the United States has a president who, just for starters, not to even get into more serious matters, is not older than Methuselah and does not sound like a 13 year-old on TikTok talking about middle school classmates. I don’t think this is too much to ask. And do not say to me, I guess you wish we had so-and-so and think what they’d do. We don’t have so-and-so. We have this one. And I don’t think it makes me woke to wish he acted like a grown-up.

@lumineignis89 @DeL8t @BethMooreLPM Not interested in God’s Kingdom? We see you.

@DeL8t @ATiffanyB @BethMooreLPM I'm interested in protecting civilization, nothing less because this is where we are.

@lumineignis89 @DeL8t @BethMooreLPM I supposed you’d tell Paul himself to stop focusing on the gnat. “But now, put away  all the following: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth. ” Colossians 3:8 Or are just women on X your focus?

@ATiffanyB @DeL8t @BethMooreLPM No, you can research what's he's done and probably already know what he has. You choose to ponder the gnat. Like my original reply, you hate his tone, I hate the sinful acts and I won't repeat them again at this point for you only want to whittle away the guard.

@lumineignis89 @DeL8t @BethMooreLPM How is he pro-life when he wanted his own youngest daughter aborted? How is he pro-Christian when he can’t recite a single thing Christ said? Feel free to actually answer.

@DeL8t @ATiffanyB @BethMooreLPM He has been the most pro life president, pro Christian, pro jewish, of our lifetime so go ahead with your offended feelings.

@lumineignis89 @DeL8t @BethMooreLPM Jesus literally said what comes out of the mouth defiles the man. Are you saying Jesus is wrong? There’s no real elaboration on that. He kept it short and sweet. It’s the book of Mark. Wonderful reading; I highly recommend it.

@DeL8t @BethMooreLPM Let's then put our energies into denouncing the sins of murder, child sacrifice, deceit at every turn, cheating, theft and then we'll worry about tone.

@Jennieseeking @kathynlongbeach @BethMooreLPM The Bible says that there will be fruit if that is true. What is Trump’s fruit? How do you see that he’s growing?

@kathynlongbeach @BethMooreLPM Why do we expect perfection when we cant do it ourselves? What a burden POTUS bears! He is on the path to GOD and growing! Not arrived yet like the 'wonderful' BM!
