Say Your Prayers

My girlfriend Tessa is staying a week with us while her mommy Carol Miller Stewart is up nawth havin' Thanksgiving 'mongst her Yankee kin. She has a set of steps her daddy Rick made her to get up in bed, but always ignores them and wants me to boost her. (She's a tripod dog and all the stairs around Hound House kinda wear her out even before she reaches the bed.) So here's a recording of the routine we do every night now.

1. Today, white America once again failed to pursue justice for a brutally murdered African-American, Breonna Taylor.

Meanwhile, the White House banned anti-racist education by EO, and Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power.

And then there's SCOTUS.

The Trump campaign is discussing plans to ask state representatives to set aside the election results in their state and select Trump electors *even if Trump loses the vote in their state.*

That would be the death of American democracy. That is not an overstatement. It’s a fact.

Welp, it's been a fun two years, but with this mount and N'Zoth kill, my WoW BfA expac experience is well and truly over. Kept me sane over the last six months. 15 level 120s, many 'chieves and mounts, and all done just in time for Shadowlands pre-patch (next week?). Bring it on!

@FollowMal There's nothing in there that would be utterly unkthinkable under a theocracy. Evangelicals want public acknowledgment of their understanding of Christianity everywhere--public Christian prayers in schools and legislatures, abortion banned, no rights for LGBTQ folks. It's bad.

@C_Stroop THANK YOU for cutting through the BS, as usual.

When I hear “Kingdom of God,” I get chills down my spine, because *I* know it’s code for “Christian dominionism.” The only religious freedom they care about is the “freedom” to wipe out *all other faiths*, including not having one.

The best way to end all abortions is for the federal government to remove the testicles of all men.....think that's too far??? Now you have a small idea what women feel.
