I hope you all enjoyed Pride if you went. I enjoyed the parade, but I had other things to do, so I couldn’t watch the whole thing. It’s not my place as a cishet guy to tell them how to change the parade, but it was pretty long.

Deuteronomy 22:23-24
If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.

I don’t know how America recovers from the Trump era. Impeaching him isn’t going to be enough. Even if everyone in the administration goes to jail for war crimes and crimes against humanity, I don’t know that it would be enough.

I hope that y’all can make it to the protest of Trump’s immigration policies. Of the separation of families. Of the denial of refugees rights. This is America, but it doesn’t have to be. You can find info on the Seattle protest here. Or other locations here. Move On will ask for your info, and give it to them or not, you can still go to the protest.

Are you fucking kidding me?!? The news about families being torn apart and children being confined in cages or tent cities by ICE is quite sobering. It makes me REALLY need a drink.

I dig the hell out of Seattle on a day like today, and the whole weekend. Being so far North, the sun is out forever. It’s too hot but not tooooo hot. I went on a couple nice walks.

It’s too bad that the republic is dying, sure. But at least Mertle Edwards park is amazing.

Job 1
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

I am beginning to suspect that it was a bad idea to elect a violent white supremacist as President. I mean, President is a shitty job, and most Presidents are shitty people. But, at least we could have been done with the Presidents who support ripping babies away from their parents. Not since slavery was outlawed, I think.

History won’t be kind to us.

Naps are awesome and the Devil at once. Yesterday, I got home from work with about an hour before I had to go to Drinking Liberally. It was only Tuesday, but I was already tired. So nap. Rad. I didn’t set an alarm, but it wasn’t very long. Anyway, I was refreshed at DL but when I got home, I couldn’t sleep. So now I’m tired again. So should I take another nap when I get home and start the process again?

Tonight will be filled with primary election results from Maine, Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina and Virginia. Perhaps, the local issues in your head tax you to drinking. Whatever your reasons, stop by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally tonight to ponder politics over a pint.

Are you excited about how we’re definitely going to solve nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula this afternoon? I mean sure, there’s a tiny little bitty chance that nothing happens. Or that something happens that makes things worse.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
