Screenshot of conversation: bubble one - “Also the men at church are annoyed. Pretty soon they will report me to you, I’m sure.” Second bubble - “You’d better get your wife in line” Reply - “Why are they annoyed with you?”

Screenshot of text conversation: bubble one - “teaching children about ideas you may disagree with isn’t indoctrination. Teaching children only about ideas you agree with, that’s the very definition of indoctrination.” Bubble two - comment on Facebook “interesting…you speak of inclusion, but talk down about the “religious right.’ Doesn’t seem too inclusive of you…🤔” Reply - “thanks for sharing your perspective. I think it’s interesting see how people respond to being marginalized the way they marginalize others. The Pharisees definitely didn’t appreciate being called out either.”

Screen shot of text conversation: bubble one “Let them be upset. Institutions need to be challenged. If they don’t like it, they can change.” Reply - “I love you”

I ❤️ my husband. #LoveNotHate

It’s hard starting over

Agreed! I’m doing the same. 🙏❤️

@canadarobin.bsky.social thanks for finding me here!!

Thanks for the share Jarad!

It’s great to hear from you!! ☺️

#LndOnt, help this lovely pair get through a very difficult time. They have done the same for us (and then some) many times before.

I might try this as well

Friends…I’m not getting much traction on any social platform these days…BlueSky, Threads, X….It’s making me want to abandon altogether.

Are you still out there?

#LdnOnt friends, @calliope4112.bsky.social and Daniel need our help! He is very sick. Please share widely and contribute where you can. Every little bit helps.

If there are limits to the bike-train combination’s reach within the Netherlands, we haven’t found them in 4.5 years.

This weekend, it was 100km on the rails from Delft to Tilburg, and then a 10km ride through the Brabant countryside for a wedding in the village of Loon op Zand.
