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.

Drinking Liberally — Seattle

by — ,

DLBottleAre 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. Whatever your reasons are, stop by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally tonight to share some politics over the beverage of your choice.

We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the room at the rear of the tavern beginning about 8pm.




Can’t make it to Seattle? There are 253 chapters of Living Liberally, including 23 in Washington state, six in Oregon and three in Idaho. Find a chapter near you. Or consider starting your own chapter.

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.

HA Bible Study: Job 1

by — ,

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.

Discuss.

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?
