slacktivist_feedRapture Christians hate and fear the United Nations, but they don't hate and fear it enough to bother learning the slightest thing about what it actually is or how it actually works.

The Baptist Rebellion vs. the Archdiocese of Boston
Dec. 11th, 2025 12:00 pmslacktivist_feedAny church (or Archdiocese) that wants to thrive in a world where ICE roams freely needs to learn the lessons of William Knibb.
Wrote a note said be back in a minute
Dec. 10th, 2025 09:29 pmslacktivist_feedAngie Clark Diller has some good thoughts about watching Hallmark Christmas movies in Potterville. Plus: Trinitarian constitutional law, the Trumpy smell of formaldehyde, leaking roofs, and a Nashville Satanic Panic update.
‘Good will to all’ rejected as ‘political’ and ‘divisive’
Dec. 9th, 2025 10:38 pmslacktivist_feedThe Boston Archdiocese takes a stand for not taking a stand and emphasizes the true meaninglessness of Christmas.
Say you can’t sleep, baby, I know

I don’t even know the words to that song ‘Louie Louie’
Dec. 7th, 2025 11:35 pmslacktivist_feedThe confrontational street-preacher shtick is sometimes, rarely, intended to be a form of evangelism. More often it's just a business model.
If you hear any noise, it ain’t the boys
Dec. 5th, 2025 07:59 pmslacktivist_feedBars and dance clubs understand that one way to get more men to show up is to have a Ladies Night. But it's not as simple as it may seem.

Dec. 5th, 2025 04:04 pmslacktivist_feedEvery character the authors say is a Good Guy acts like a jerk. That's true of Rayford and Buck and, most of all, God.
The Inner Ring (C.S. Lewis on the Epstein lists)

Rules and notes for a Christmas playlist, revisited
Dec. 1st, 2025 05:21 pmslacktivist_feedThis post is an annual tradition here because, as a retail worker, it helps me to exorcise the hours of Christmas music now echoing in my brain.
Take up wickedness again
Nov. 30th, 2025 12:00 pmslacktivist_feed"For a starter, I would go to work and steal Jim out of slavery again; and if I could think up anything worse, I would do that, too; because as long as I was in, and in for good, I might as well go the whole hog."

dw_newsHello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.
The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.
( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )
Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.
On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
