Ok, Walkers, I want you to sit in that corner over there and have a good hard think about what you've just done.

"Mike Johnson is the first person to become speaker of the House who can be fairly described as a Christian nationalist, a major development in American history in and of itself."

Even among each of the sub-branches of the 3 big guys - they will fight and kill each other over interpretations of their own religions.

Now, from an outside perspective (mine) - this seems fucking stupid (and I think I'm right) but when you are in the middle of it - it doesn't seem like it.

Case in point - I have an evangelical friend who believes the apocalypse is gonna be a great thing who believe that because those other two don't accept Jesus - that their God is NOT the same God.

How the fuck do you reason with that? That's like saying my 1980's lego spaceman can't fly in the 2023 lego spaceship because he isn't a spaceman - it is that arbitrary - both are legos and both are in space sets.

Honestly I just fucking can't. If y'all can continue to let yourselves be convinced by people who pretend to follow your religion to fuck up other people because they don't believe your same interpreted version of a bunch of oral traditions from over 3000 years ago then have at it.

don't believe the "too old for trick-or-treating" propaganda!

older trick-or-treaters are an essential part of the candy economy. they present a greater risk of bigger and more inconvenient tricks, putting pressure on Adult Residents to provide better treats, a net benefit to trick-or-treaters of all ages. without the older demographic, trick-or-treaters lose crucial bargaining power and the dynamic shifts in favor of the Residents

Be sure to check your kid's candy this year! I found an unreviewable gigantic PR.

While obviously most people choose to celebrate #Samhain, it is important to remember that other religious traditions also have holidays! Wishing all my General and Specific Pratchettite friends a very merry Soul Cake Tuesday!

If you are not familiar with these fine people, note that General Pratchettites share their soul cakes with visitors, while Specific Pratchettites do not. Also it is extremely rude to refer to them as 'Pterrorists' even if they inhume you.

I think we should start viewing power-hungry men as inherently unstable human beings who should barely be trusted to make their own breakfast much less make decisions affecting anyone else's life. #patriarchy

I was on the sidewalk today when I was sideswiped by a bat who underestimated her wingspan. She was about four years old and was headed to a park with a fairy and a devil. This - friends, imagination, holidays – is what childhood should be for all children, never bombs, shrapnel, and explosions.

Hey any journalists on here plz turn your public post indexing on, because most of you haven't and thats why people looking for public information cant find you.

Go to settings > public profile > privacy and reach, select "include public posts in search results"

Not all the fedi wants to be a public space, and thats fine, but some parts should be right now.

Landscape Photography doesn’t have to be about getting up early running, up a hill and taking a photo. I can’t do any of those things. These were taken by a road or in my wheelchair in the afternoon, the only time I can sit up. Just do what you can, #Dartmoor #Devon. #photography
