Carrie Shanafelt

The white Baptist Church in the US of the last 40 years has suddenly become obsessed with ending abortion, porn, gay people, trans people, immigration, unions, socialism, and environmental protections. Do they ever wonder what 17th-century Baptists were motivated by? It wasn't any of these things. It was theocracy and capitalism they were afraid of. We needed a wall then and we need a wall now, not in Texas, but between church and state, to protect the church from Johnson as much as the reverse.

@AnOldGuy Oh, I understand that. It just is. You may not be able to look at someone and tell they’re Jewish, but DNA will tell you they’re Ashkenazi. Even if they’re not religious.

Its Not A Hoax 🤞

everyone is entitled to my own opinion

what in the actual fuck? how does Mike Johnson not have a bank account

there's a lot about Holy Mike that just doesn't add up

dweebish little factotum Holy Mike Johnson became House Speaker because he was standing in the right place — the corner of What About This Guy Street and Fine, Let’s Just Get It The Fuck Over With Avenue — at the right time.

nobody knew dick about the guy, except that he was some kind of god-mad religious fanatic.

but now the facts are starting to leak out and and holy shit, there’s a lot going on that makes no fucking sense at all.

On 11/5/68, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to Congress. "Fighting" Shirley Chisholm rocked the House to its foundations. We all benefit from her trailblazing legacy. Definitely one of the heroes! #NewYork #NYC #History #Historian #historymatters #BlackWomen #NamingGotham #histodons @histodons amazon.com/Naming-Gotham-Villa

Why is it when I meet sighted people who I haven't seen in a long time they play games with me? I don't want to have to fucking guess who you are. If I don't remember, I don't remember. Stop toying with me! It's disrespectful and sighted people wouldn't treat another sighted person the same way so why me because I'm blind? It's some bullshit and I will not have it! Either tell me who you are in person or do not speak with me at all. Don't ever play games with me unless they're on my terms. Full stop.

@AnOldGuy Loaded question. Judaism is both a religion and a culture. You can convert to Judaism, but you are also born into it. The culture and the religion differ wildly.

Eric supports DEI!

You always thought that keeping all body parts under the covers was the only way to keep you safe at night. It's only when you bring a furry little monster into your house that you realize that you were right all along.

@theothersimo Because it’s one sided. Nobody is happy to see people dying in Gaza, with the possible exception of Hamas. But you can’t ignore the fact that Israel has always been under threat of violence by looking at a one-time incident.

@theothersimo Do you hear how one-sided your comment is? As though there’s no reason for Israel to have the Iron Dome or bomb shelters in every home.

@BlueDot Thanks. Will look for that.

Low Quality Facts

Here's some helpful Mastodon tips for the newcomers on here:

1. The app automatically scans your thumbprint. Make sure to wear gloves if you don't want this data to be collected and sold to thumb enthusiasts.

2. The platform has voice-activated capabilities. Try yelling "HUNGRY!" and the nearest Mastodon employee will bring you a snack.

3. Tell us about yourself! Write either "pro-ghost" or "anti-ghost" in your bio to avoid simple misunderstandings.

@theothersimo Based on my experience, yes, it is typical. As for the stupid laws the Right in Israel has created, they don’t even count Reform Jews as Jews, so they have fewer rights than the Orthodox. The Orthodox, who don’t even have to serve in the military!

I just love reading advice from people who have never served in the military, as to how easily the military could go into Gaza to save the civilians.

These must be the people who believe Tommy Tuberville actually supports the military.
