Very cute!

My bullshit tolerance today is non-existent.

Heckin' cute!

What a way to go out.

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Definitely an influence on me too.

Yeah. Losing my faith was ultimately death by a thousand cuts. So many little things and a few big things that were more than my "shelf" could bear. Or whatever analogy works. :P

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

You do take great pics!

I think a lot of it is down to the ward she lives in in California. Leadership roulette and all that. And I think that she carries too much clout for the church to try to go after her, like with David Archuleta.

It's as relevant now in the queer Mormon/ex-Mormon communities, especially considering that Dallin Oaks, who was president at BYU during the electroshock aversion therapy years and has been responsible for the church's approach to the LGBTQIA+ community for the last four decades, is now in charge.

Just by coincidence, Mormon Stories is reposting this absolute banger of an interview with Carol Lynn Pearson, who was married to a gay man who died of AIDS in the 80s and published a best-selling book about it.

Going to church was never the same after I got back. I was pretty burnt out, and never felt like I fit in in the YSA (young single adult) congregations I was in. I didn't vibe with the church's path of "you need to get married as soon as you get home from your mission and reproduce IMMEDIATELY"

I was extremely closeted and in denial about my sexuality at the time, and wouldn't have a faith crisis or leave the church until years after that, but that was an important seed planted.

Being a Mormon missionary in the summer of 2008 when Prop 8 was a thing, having the "you need to support this" letter read over the pulpit, and realizing that the church made us lie about it "being politically neutral"

Hooray for losing an hour of sleep and gaining an hour of extra ruminating time.

I hate DST. I need to be asleep now, but I'm not even tired.

It's one of my favorites!

Heckin' tempting. I need to come up with more ideas!

Reposting this always, forever, every time.

There are plenty of valid discussions to have about various practices within the porn industry, but if someone talks about "porn addiction" as if it's real, that is your cue to not take their opinion seriously.

I feel all of this. A LOT.

Like this silent rift that's there. Not like I'm on bad terms with my folks, but not having Mormonism in common anymore makes it so hard to open up.

Hmm, tempting!

Definitely need to commission you to draw Forza sometime. :3

It's outright catharsis, and it's amazing. :3

Putting on That Pedal Show to unwind from the work week, because somehow listening to Dan and Mick noodle away on guitar while twisting knobs on pedals they've never used before is surprisingly relaxing.

Good to know! I might get a pack to use on the road trip to TFF

Curious how the MIA ones compare. I love the color though.

The casual vibes are ❤️❤️❤️

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.

You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.

I've made my calls today. You need to.
