antinatal propaganda is cringe af

first time I've lived in a place where the urban architectural beauty compensates for the lack of wild natural beauty

how many generations of Christians in your family tree? best guess

love getting up for my morning prayers (checking twitter)

mfers will literally struggle and sweat thru years of personal development rather than surrender to amazing grace

don't ask for an ally then expect a subordinate

weekend project, gunna assemble my own DIY salt lamp

attention governance nerds!

imagine a hypothetical climate movement schism

Team 1 believes it's strategic to not discuss race & colonialism

Team 2 believes it is absolutely necessary

if you're low, ask for what you need

we all come out better from the exchange

communicate clearly and you don't need disclaimers

fun game to play on twitter dot com:

treasure box looking sick af with addition of old silver airplane

developing self awareness of your character flaws is a great way to keep getting away with them
