Theological terms explained. A 🧵 1) Calvinism: the belief that the Bible is best explained via Bill Watterson cartoons about a small boy and his toy tiger.

Biden shook with anger as he saw the news from Canada. On a university campus in Montreal, a man named Marc Lépine walked into a classroom. He carried a semiautomatic hunting rifle. “I want the women,” he told the students, holding his gun. He lined up the women against a wall.
a blessing for living between. Between miracles. Between answers. Between formulas. Blessed are you who live here, this space between simple categories and easy answers. You who wonder why this is your life, why you got this diagnosis, or why you still struggle with…

This version of Bach’s first cello suite was recorded live in the Great Smoky Mountains. I’ve always thought of Suite No. 1 as “Nature at Play,” so it was a dream to play it with the birds, the trees, and the rushing brook. ▶️ yoyoma.lnk.to/natureatplay

a blessing for the life you didn't choose Blessed are you when the shock subsides, when vaguely, you see a line appear that divides before and after. You didn’t draw it, and can barely even make it out. But as surely as minutes add up to hours and days, here you are, forced…

These are the pages of my inaugural poem that an objecting parent cited as "not educational and have indirectly hate messages". And now because of that one complaint, my poem is now banned for elementary school students at a school in @MiamiDadeCounty.

Ottawa County Board of Commissioners meeting 3-23-23 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Let's talk about why being a mother is a sacred role. No role has a greater impact on the future of society:
Wow. In 4 minutes, former U.S. Marine Marksmanship Instructor and Arizona Sec. of State @Adrian_Fontes dismantles the right's Second Amendment lies. Watch this till the end.
At a time when democracy is being challenged, I just signed a bill establishing automatic voter registration, creating a permanent absentee voting status, and pre-registering 16- and 17-year-olds to vote. In Minnesota, voting isn’t a threat to power – it’s a source of pride.
Ottawa County is thriving, so of course MAGA steps in and bruises its reputation. I've gifted this story. wapo.st/41mRr5T

Let's talk about it. I think autistic people are often mistakenly labeled as narcissistic for a couple of reasons...
Theological terms explained. A 🧵 1) Calvinism: the belief that the Bible is best explained via Bill Watterson cartoons about a small boy and his toy tiger.
This painting is over 100 years old. It was made by a Swedish illustrator called John Bauer, one of the most important artists you've never heard of. His revolutionary art influenced everything from graphic novels to animated films to video games, and here's why...
I love Call the Midwife. They just keep making episodes. I don’t know a single characters name. I can’t remember an any episode or plot point I’ve ever watched. There are 47 main characters, the cast has changed 12 times. It’s the best show I’ve ever seen.
This is powerful. This is courage. This is heartbreaking. Democratic senator @EvaBurchAZ announced on a floor speech that she needs an abortion. She shared her story and gave remarks about how cruel Arizona’s laws are to women. CNN aired a short clip last night, but it’s…
While it may not be comfortable to address, I think it’s really important that we do acknowledge that this can and does happen. Because if we don’t, we risk contributing to incredible disadvantage people can experience by a society that failed them.
This may also be why these presentations appear to have come on “abruptly” or “seemingly out of nowhere”. Paired a lack of public and clinical understanding, this may also contribute to some neurodivergent conditions being attributed to stress or attention seeking.
But this isn’t sustainable long-term. Eventually, our internal demands and support needs exceed our ability to hide or suppress them, which may be during periods of high stress or difficulty.
This can lead to many difficulties further down the line involving self-understanding, identity formation, forming healthy relationships, and poor mental health and well-being. But it can also teach us to sacrifice our needs and who we are to make others around us happy.
We may have felt we couldn’t “step out of line” or needed to suppress any aspects of us that may be different or “difficult”. This could involve strategies such as camouflaging or suppressing elements of ourselves that stood out and risked our safety.
⚠️TW: Abuse⚠️ There are many reasons which may delay identifying someone as autistic… But something I don’t see talked about much is those of us who grew up not feeling safe enough to be ourselves or show that we had needs.
Ok so we've all heard of the Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn trauma responses, but on behalf of Autistic people I would like to gently suggest a fifth: Inform.
As I have 2 adult children who will be able to vote in the next election, we talk about it a lot. I want my advice to outlive me, so we usually don't talk candidates, we talk voting principles: (I'll add more as I think of them)
Let’s broaden our vision of education beyond K-12. Every single Michigander can count on a free public education from pre-K through an associate’s degree. That’s the Michigan guarantee.
I'm interrupting my 2-month Twitter hiatus b/c I've just found a highly relevant speech from the Ratification debates (1788): Against Presidential Immunity & Unitary Executive theory (interpreting the Opinions Clause). Future SCOTUS Justice Iredell, NC Convention, 7/28/1788:
Your annual reminder that Jesus was a radical #ActuallyAutistic socialist Jew. Your oppression of autistics, socialists, and Jews isn’t the best way to observe Christmas 🙏🏼
request: tell me songs and artists that celebrate joy. Not the easy joy of things going well. I’m looking for the people that have truly known what it means to suffer, and have found their way back to joy as they healed. Stuff like Jill Scott’s Golden, or LBDA’s Sunny Hours.
