Wow. Was truly moved by @albinokid today. I had a journey. You exist in such an honest, heart-forward space as a performer and we are lucky to have you as an artist and human in this world. Go see #WithoutYou at @newworldstages
It’s @omarahsa day!! Very few people have had the affect on my life that he has. So take a moment and celebrate this incredible human. We are all insanely better for having him in our lives.
This afternoon, I cleaned burnt on oil off of a non-stick pan using more oil and baking soda. This morning, my therapist said “The opposite can be the same.” 🤯
A 10-year-old girl is raped. The State forces her to remain pregnant and tells her to consider it an “opportunity.”
This isn’t Iran. This isn’t Gilead. This isn’t hypothetical.
This happened today in Ohio.
One of my proudest moments was when I schooled a powerful conservative lawyer on the importance of the ACLU and minority protections in front of hundreds of people at my college convocation when I was 21.
“And you’re upset the ACLU is protecting rights that are not Christian?” (Yes) “You seem concerned Christianity is losing a battle to other points of view. The ACLU protects minority rights. So, as a Christian you may NEED the ACLU soon, right?”
He didn’t have a direct answer. It’s not about protecting minorities at all for people like him. America isn’t about religious freedom for them. It’s not the freedom from, but the freedom of a specific religion. City on a hill, manifest destiny.
