I was raised going to UCC churches, it was standard practice at all of them. Many also used King’s Hawaiian Bread for Communion.

And they’re one of the LGBTQ-friendliest denominations, although because they’re non-hierarchical the individual churches vary. You can see if there’s one near you.

It’s sad things like this that make me think, it’s too bad church is all fucked up with religion. Because “Entire families, plus any single individuals, get washed and dressed up, then join under the stained-glass windows to sit and stand and sing and go through the motions, while all the eligible sweeties pretend they’re not checking out all the other eligible sweeties, and have a whole hour to think of something to say to them over the coffee and cookies afterwards. Repeat weekly” is pretty much how a lot of people found partners for generations. Especially those whose families couldn’t afford ballrooms and country clubs.

Have you considered the possibility Dad ASKED each person how many peps they wanted before he started cutting? Or he gives the kids peps according to their ages?

I’m in CA and will happily join in, bet I’m not the only one. I can’t go to protests but I can stand down, help push those economic numbers down.

It’s less random people and more likely people who live in the same building or whose kids are on the same team/at the same school etc. I don’t want to be expected to converse, and I don’t like when others do it. A friendly smile and hello and keep walking is my go-to, as if I’m in a tearing hurry.

Could we ban conversation between cart-holders? Two people shopping together, same cart same list, is fine. But anything beyond “Hi, nice to see you” between two carts clogs the aisles

They put families in danger every day

They act exactly like Republicans: MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!

Hold onto the anger, it will keep you alive. Find a professional to help you learn how to navigate the normie world, because your parents clearly won’t. Find your success in your own terms.

Anyone who doesn’t think he’d be happy with Iran levels of protester killing is naive

Asking the important questions! And how was Donald’s suck technique?

Bill’s an ass in many ways but at least he turned the deficit around

Call it The Imperial Suite, you could probably get him to go in

Points for penmanship

Better to paint ICE on the front door for everyone to see (best to do so in ICE cosplay and keep that mask up)

Crows are pretty good at the old peck’n’dodge, and pretty tough generally, especially when in a murder.

I think we could extend this training to seagulls, baiting the MAGA hats with French fries. Get started now to ruin the nazis’ summer.

Give him the Slow Blink

I think it’s more like 4-5 pancakes. Pancakes spread on each bottom as you cook/flip them, so there’s a narrower “waist” that can make one seem like two in a stack. It’s still a reasonable amount of butter, and I’d use more because I’m not fond of syrup.

Just in case you need it for a crossword puzzle or something later:

With a g, it means to rule as a king.

Trump reigns right now.

Without a g it’s the control straps for a horse, or using said controls.

Congress ought to rein him in.

Nursing is the job where you can be attacked by a man with a knife and your boss will ask your near-corpse as it lies on the floor in a pool of blood, “what did you do to cause this?”

More likely “Donald J Trump and Martin L King Day”
