notblanche, I was very disappointed to see that news this morning. I'm lapsed Catholic, and sometimes miss the fellowship of a organized religious community. Haven't searched really hard, though, for what I may want. And, yeah, when I get really scared the Memorae still springs to my lips, every time. Feel very conflicted, again.

Fun fact: My grandfather was halfway through seminary when he met my grandmother, and they met at mass. He left seminary to marry a divorcee but their faith remained important to them, and they shared that with me. I still sometimes will pray to the saints and I make the sign of the cross reflexively. I haven't been part of a Church community since I was a child, but I understand. It must be difficult to reconcile.

Good morning friends. I'm here. I need another cup of coffee before I'm awake enough to really participate.
JO adjacent post: His wife loved my FB post from late last week about DH and I being together for 10 years.

byjove 's casual good morning, I haven't had coffee, I know JO's wife LOL I didn't think that was new information. Haven't I shared that here? In my non-caffeinated state, it was the most relevant thing that came to mind.

I'm surprised that I'm a little surprised by the stance from the Catholic Church. I guess Francis seems more progressive than previous popes. An opinion formed outside the church and from headlines, though.
In any case, it's disappointing.

Do you miss voting? Round 1 is over, but Round 2 is started and this is my favorite time of the year and the only March madness I subscribe to. Snacket! t.co/KCZRsLlBfj?amp=1

On Friday they rescinded an order that was making families (sponsors etc) scared to come forward. They will no longer face additional immigration charges?
I'm not sure WHAT exactly all that was I'll have to go back and look.

PBS News Hour live feed for Jen is giving me anxiety. Someone has their phone set to all notifications and it won’t stop vibrating. I don’t live this life.

I feel a way about letting reporters in facilities where minors are being held.
I get it and understand the need for the public to know, but at some level it feels exploitative.

Is it a 'disaster' because you sent FEMA.
Jen we really dont need to label this shit. We're pivoting as fast as we can to take care of these children and using all resources we have available so give it up
