6/10 We’re in this bizarre situation where the people actually challenging norms—trans people, queer folks, anyone even slightly outside the “normal” box—are the ones facing down all the backlash.
@simonzerafa @bloor Vicars are ordained priests assigned to a church or a group of churches. Bishops govern a Diocese. He'll remain an ordained priest, able to officiate as honorary or assistant bishop.. They also tend to be elevated to the Lords as Life Peers.

Loved this piece by Cherrell Avery, engraving poem by Tim Rich.
"There will never be another you, me: a supernova of mental electricity and soft senses that somehow turn the world outside in
Then, at that time we all come to meet, we'll slip this line of life, back into entropy
gently, letting I and the become indefinitely cosmic as we rejoin our family of dust. So every ambition is settled perfectly"

Even though fascism’s key thinkers and intellectual enablers came from different ideological backgrounds, this is what appealed to them, what ultimately united them behind the fascist leader. And so it is again today. 9/

How to Talk About Fascism in Trump's Second Term
Once the “Fourth Estate,” now the sideline observer. When did journalism start treating democracy’s meltdown as casual news? It’s time to ask: where’s the outrage?

@duhe.bsky.social But that came at the price of the devastation of Europe.
@atomicpoet Shows they're unable to connect with those who voted on the idea that T is a strong, moral and clever man, despite all evidence to the contrary.
