“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
- Frederick Douglass
I keep seeing people clamoring for a social media that is not owned and controlled by big tech. I beg you, please consider micro.blog as that alternative. Yes, membership costs a little. But it’s well worth it. I’d be happy to tell you my experience.
Finished reading: Humanism from the Heart by Steve Ghikadis, B.A., BEd 📚

I am excited for the final installment of the Wax and Wayne series.

These Wax and Wayne books are an absolute blast. The number of times that I laugh out loud is ridiculous.
I’m thankful for the collegial and kind debate that has been happening at the 187th Stated Meeting of the Midwest Presbytery. It turns out that it is possible to disagree well.
