           It's hard to tell what will become of any of us, but I pray over the spanning arc of it all, that the grace of my pain leads me always toward more openness than outrage — more softness than sarcasm.

             It’s a knife to the throat and the cold whisper of a heartless threat. The trauma of hunger does not just disappear once a belly is filled. The cruelty of this moment will live on and on in the minds of those who have known scarcity’s gnawing grip.

             The reality is, at this point, even if funds do come through for SNAP (and I obviously hope they do), the sense of scarcity has already been activated in those who have faced food insecurity before. This is a bomb going off beside someone who has lived in active combat.

             It should be illegal for autocorrect to change a word AFTER you hit send.

             More silly, victimless heists. Less stopping vital food benefits for the most vulnerable.

             I’m nearing the top of the list for a 400 sqft studio apt. I’ve been dreaming about decorations & so far I pretty much want mid century modern meets an Orthodox Church meets a green house meets a bit of irreverence meets cozy warmth. I hope the vintage shops are ready for me.

             Anyone who watched Animal Kingdom knows exactly who’s behind the Louvre heist.

             My one and only cleaning hack is that melamine sponges (magic erasers) remove coffee/tea stains from mugs with a single wipe. This is not hyperbole — literally one wipe. This is life changing, particularly if your life strangely hinges upon the appearance of your mugs.

             You guys, I want to walk the Camino so bad, despite my dumb, disabled body. Have any of you done it? Wondering if I take like 5 times as long as a healthy person if I could do it without causing permanent harm to my obnoxious body. Prob not safe for me, but maybe still worth it?

             I live in a suburb of Portland, Oregon, and the plans for an Emergency Naked Bike Ride in protest of Trump deploying the national guard here is the least surprising thing that has ever happened. And I mean that in a good way. Melt ICE.

             Working to “advance the Kingdom” and working for “the reunion of heaven and earth” can mean the same thing but sure do not feel the same. I’d be glad to never hear the phrase “advancing the kingdom” again.

             I just want to make sure we are not using “anxiety and depression are a natural response to the state of the world” as an excuse for unboundaried media consumption, apathetic disregard for our neighbor, and chaotic thoughtlessness in our commitments.

             How do we feel about craniosacral therapy? Because I’m just about certain it’s fake, but also it seems like it would feel amazing??? But also I may just be a touch-starved single person lol
