Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today.
This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The Loneliness No One Talks About
No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.
The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.
The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.
Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.
Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.
jeez, Ally, you wouldn't be advocating "socialized medicine," would you? seriously, the British have what is probably the most radically socialized medical program in existence, and over here, people love to tell horror stories about things like waiting lists for hip replacements. I've had the good fortune of being friends with a bunch of British doctors, and (despite their occasional complaints about understaffed hospitals, etc.) they all say the exact same thing, which is that "at its best, it works PERFECTLY." house calls and EVERYTHING. one of them did a psychiatric residency in NYC and has written some devastating things about his experiences here.
