Celebrate beauty and grace. Give thanks to God for everything. Rejoice in laughter and the traditions that make us who we are. Opinions are mine alone.

@ZeekArkham Praying Zeek. A good church is a blessing. A bad one can be a curse.
English
For a change of pace…
The church my family has been attending for the past couple years isn’t something I’m happy with.
The pastor has fully embraced “prosperity preaching” and spends entire sermons clubbing you over the head to tithe. I seriously feel like he’s a bad month away from his own “lock the doors” moment.
His wife, the “co-pastor,” literally turned her back on me when I was going through a rough period, both personally and professionally.
Honestly, growing up, I never had a good church relationship. There was a LOT of bad disguised as good. The older I get, the more I realize how toxic that environment was.
For my little girl, I want her to grow up in faith. I want her to be a true believer in the Word. I want her to enjoy Christ and a relationship with Him. I only hope we can find a really good church in Florida that can nurture all of it.
Y’all pray for my family and I, please.

@AStratelates My coworkers and I were talking the other day about the point where you can no longer separate the artist from the art. I can still read most authors and watch most movies that are produced by people I disagree with ideologically. But there is a line

People’s craving for solidarity takes strange forms.

“Most people who read ‘The Communist Manifesto’ probably have no idea that it was written by a couple of young men who had never worked a day in their lives, and who nevertheless spoke boldly in the name of ‘the workers.’”

@DjRodgers1231 @magi_jay He's a self-avowed military history buff and that symbol has been prominent in the last 80 years of military history-- not to mention all the movies.

The tattoo is a bigger problem than people realize, on an electoral level. It's the first thing major news networks are running with, now that this is a national race. People are under the impression Democrats are running a Nazi in Maine.

@AStratelates Once you have denied the possibility of courtship you cannot expect the other party to court you. It really is that simple

I’m tired of being exposed to others mental illness through text.

@awstar11 Yes. Humans soaked in Judeo Christian culture especially have a hard time accepting just how savage human nature can be

Barbarism is the natural / default state of humanity.

I usually don’t post my reaction posts on X but I feel like it’s important to emphasize that detransition is NOT easy and often confusing.
Progressive “Christianity” makes the process all the more confusing for vulnerable people trying to reorient themselves. Pray for Neeza.

@ClickingSeason @seriouslysushi Kids will do a lot to get a father's attention. Including exaggerating.

@seriouslysushi Yes, or his daughter lied to him

Northerners fantasies about how southerners behave is integral to their world model but is totally divorced from reality.

@WrenWilliamsVA I'm personally figuring they'll wait til September. A TN judge I know thinks the same. We'll see ...

@GetOnTap Depends on the gas station. The Valero just into Russell County on 19 makes pretty good hotdogs....

What’s the best gas station food?
Hot Dogs or Pepperoni Rolls?
FIGHT!!!

@StuffForSisters I tried going to my husband's church for over 30 years but no matter how much I prayed about it the answer on conversion was always no. Covid brought me back to the Anglican church (which was meeting and having real communion). Now we alternate.
English
A Catholic family with children has a husband who greatly favors one form of the Mass and a wife who equally favors another. If the husband concludes that consistently attending together the Mass he favors is best for their family, ought his wife obey him?
English
@AStratelates @JadeAtrophis Also, many men have simply opted out. The younger men I know are already on child #3 or aren't even looking anymore.
English
@JadeAtrophis Women can’t marry men they don’t meet and having a high status job is relevant to being tied to that sort of social class.
English
Why do women think having a job makes them more desirable
It doesn't
If anything it's generally the opposite

This is what an above average group of 7/10 American girls looks like. They're business students from a very good school (which already raises the average by a lot) They also have significantly below national average BMI. They gonna be top 15% earners. So, in order to looks and status match with them, you should be about 6 feet tall, be in decent shape, dress well, and earn about $150k. The numbers don't lie.
English
@Linahuaa @RSPY_critical Most of the young men I know have simply opted out. They don't want to be with women like this, so they don't date and don't have plans to.

There is so much more that unites us as Virginians and as Americans than divides us.

Society *IS* dying. The world *IS* sick. You *CANNOT* control events or outcomes.
Insofar as stoicism teaches this and how to deal with it, it is good and right.
The issues stoicism has as a moral system are more related to it being fundamentally pelagian.
Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth)@antoniogm
Stoicism is the philosophy of slaves (Epictetus), unjustly condemned men awaiting death (Seneca), and emperors of a dying empire (Marcus Aurelius). It became the philosophy of people who couldn’t control events, but still needed to feel sovereign over a dwindling sphere.

4. Fridge, Dishwasher, Bathroom

@dwarkesh_sp @MorlockP Did…
Did the archaeology community actually think early humans were peaceniks?
They unearthed endless weapons, numerous torture devices, dusted off a multitude of murals depicting violence, war and death…
And they’re surprised our ancestors were bloodletters?

@stationerycar @TheMiddleborne Depends on the concrete and whether we can use several colors😊

@TheMiddleborne Damn people really don't like concrete..
Look can we meet in the middle and do stained or colored concrete?
