Standing Up In The Milky Way

So are y’all gonna start punishing these Heretics or are you just gonna continue to enjoy the social benefits of letting the other Christians oppress the world at gunpoint with cruise missiles and atomic bombs. Are you gonna put your money where your mouth is and do something about the False Christians that throw people in cages and traffic children or are you just gonna go “oh too bad so sad guess they don’t get into heaven” while you continue to enjoy the material and political benefits of letting those who wear the cross spew hateful rhetoric and stand on the world’s neck as they drive the environment to the brink of Armageddon. I’m so fucking sick and tired of the thought-arresting cliche of “oh they’re not real christians like I am so nothing needs to be done because god will sort them out in the end.”

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."
