Our Lady at Pride

She looks so happy and pretty :,)

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

You need to flood your democratic congresspeople with complaints telling them not to go for this.

It's scary to be transgender in the world right now but if you're transgender I love you and we have to stick together and keep fighting and keep living and keep loving

Just a message to my fellow queer Catholics/Christians on here:

God loves you. God supports you. Jesus would lovingly break bread with you. Jesus would defend you against those who persecute you.

Especially to my trans siblings, he loves you.

Happy Pride, God bless you all.

PLEEEEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!!!

here's the comment my mom & I left, for you to use if you like:

Vaccines have long been proven to be efficacious in preventing illness in people of all ages. Why would we want to go "backwards" and deny people vaccines that could prevent an illness that we're just coming to understand, but that has shown itself to have serious, varying and long lasting negative health effects.

This new approach claims that young and healthy people aren't at risk of Covid 19 complications, but the data says otherwise. The data proves beyond doubt that major complications such as long Covid occurs in all age groups, including children, so there is absolute need for protection from Covid 19 in all age groups. Moreover, young and healthy people desire and need to be vaccinated to protect vulnerable people in their lives.

Do not discontinue Covid 19 vaccinations, nor research into Covid 19 effects. Please do not eliminate government funding of Covid 19 research into improving vaccines that will work against mutating strains of this virus, which has taken so much from so many.

All of the above is absolutely true— everyone deserves to be protected against a serious disease, and all of the protections we have now have been the results of many hard won battles in research, funding, and distribution. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much the current administration cares about any of those realities. With that in mind, I tried framing it in language that hopefully might speak to them.

The US Government is playing a dangerous game with the health of millions of Americans, and this decision will disproportionately affect people with disabilities that render them more vulnerable when herd immunity is compromised.

This policy has serious implications for sectors of the economy that are already under significant stress, primarily healthcare and its related fields. Furthermore, with fewer vaccinated members of the public, we are at risk of resurgent rates of SARS COVID-19 causing disruptions in manufacturing, supply chains, and business operations that will have wide ranging affects on the population outside of direct health outcomes.

Along with putting millions of Americans at risk, restricting access to the COVID-19 vaccine has the potential to weaken America's economy at a time when it is critical that we maintain forward momentum.

Also, here's a link to an easy way to find and call your representatives (featuring a script) about this issue.

On May 20th, top Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials announced changes to the approval process for updated COVID vaccines that woul

Something incredible might be happening with this initiative. I've been keeping up with it over the course of the year it's been up and slowly losing hope (50% of time elapsed and only 17% of signatures, etc.) but this week has gotten more signatures than the previous 11 months combined.

First to establish the rules: to get an official reply from the commission and possibly legislation, an initiative needs 1 million signatures within 1 year AND at least 7 different countries need to hit their threshold which is calculated based on population (idk how it's calculated but a little more than 1 in 1000 adult citizens of the country need to sign to hit its threshold). This is to ensure that not all the support for an initiative comes from one or very few countries.

Ok so here's the graph for signatures that the conversion therapy ban got over time according to the wayback machine:

The deadline is in 2 days as I write this and there's a MASSIVE last minute push! 415,223 signatures to go still but the last update to the website added about 360,000 all at once. I think it might still be possible after all.

With that newest update we now also have hit 7 different country thresholds (up from 3 before this spike). Shoutouts to France, Finland, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, and Slovenia!

suffer-louder

Found a figure that gets updated more often! Since my last post, we gained 67,883 signatures in just shy of 8 hours. At this pace we should hit 1 million in 40 hours from now. So whether or not the initiative succeeds is going to come down to the minute of when exactly the deadline is (i dont know how to look that up, it just says May 17th)

seanconneraille

i reblogged my post with an update when we reached the 600K like 5-6 hours ago and we're now at 660K so we actually have a pace of something like 10K per hour since. which is so freaking awesome. we can do it!!

Yes! It worked! Just do as the post says, follow the prompts. When it pops you to the website to sign up, just select "Yes, I have a US mailing address" (a lie, but clearly, they don't mind too much to since they don't actually ask you for said address)(Maybe they just need the plausible deniability of having asked.) Then, when you're all done and have clicked the confirmation link and are back in libby, go back to the library card managing page. Click the "add card" for the QLL, it'll move you over to sign into the website again, and then pop you straight back into libby, where now you can borrow books! Awesome! : ) : )

Fellow Christians, listen to me:

Let us really, truly hope and pray that that Project 2025 is just fear mongering. Because (and I hope I look silly in the coming years, I really do) if even a fraction of what it threatens is genuinely on Trump's agenda, then the name of Christ is about to be blasphemed horribly by people in our government who claim to serve Him.

If and (hopefully not) when that happens, the Church MUST step up and be the hands and feet of Jesus. We MUST show the true face of God to the world. We MUST choose to serve our neighbors over flag or party or human leader. We MUST put the teachings of Jesus over political power. We MUST be willing and ready to side with people we disagree with, for the sake of their human rights.

I don't care who you voted for or why. Yesterday is past, I'm talking about today and tomorrow.

If Project 2025 is nonsense, then praise God!

But, if even a fraction of Project 2025 is true, promise me that you will choose to be CHRIST followers, rather than Trump followers. Promise me that you will choose justice and mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
