This post shamelessly recycles material from theAssociationof Bad Friends group on Facebook. RantWoman figures now is the season.
Introducing ...after God the pscyho kidnapper has scooped out the goopy innerds and set one's punkin head aglow with the Inner Blowtorch.
Or, iff God the Kidnapper doesn't work as a meme....

Go Team!
Comparative Football Careers
RantWoman humbly admits that she is almost COMPLETELY football-challenged, only VERY sporadically able to muster conversational capacity related to football. And look what happens when RantWoman goes near the topic.
Wonder blind person Jake Olson played high school football after losing both eyes to cancer. He is now playing for the USC Trojans. He talks in an interview about his faith. ESPN articles talk about how good his presence is for team morale. Use the search engine of choice if you are led to research further.
GO TEAM!
A recent twitter search on #quakers yielded a surprisingly high percentage of tweets dedicated to some or another football competition. There being both British and US tweets, RantWoman expects "Football" has multiple meanings.
GO TEAMS!
Irrepressible Nephew's name appears on an internet site along with about half the other names on his high school team roster who have
--No jersey number
--No position played
--the fact that he is a freshman; many on the no information side of the roster are upper classmen!
--No height
--No weight.
(RantWoman is unsure the reason for this approach to a team roster but for various reasons is inclined to think there is an aspect of inclusion and welcome and maybe some other threads.)
GO TEAM!
In the ongoing collide again with previous phases of life that comes with every new eara of Irrepressible Nephew's life, RantWoman notes for comparison:
--RantWoman has never wanted to play football, either before or after vision loss. Good thing because the Rant family eye conditions recommend against contact sports.
--RantWoman in high school was taller and larger than a large percentage of both the football team and the men's basketball teams. This does NOT mean RantWoman was anywhere near their equal in athleticism.
GO TEAM!

Quaker Speak: A Quaker in the Texas House of Representatives
A Friend who found his way to Quaker leadership starting in worship during the Vietnam era.
In 2003, "It's always bad public policy to start a war," a comment persuasive enough to switch about 5 of 120 votes

Midweek, Authority, Take On Me by Genghis Barbie
RantWoman, ever striving to be humble about such gifts of prophesy as show up in her vicinity is certain days in advance that it is going to be the kind of week where readers just need some Genghis Barbie.
Consider the leading to provide such fulfilled.
Readers who can both listen to music and listen to other audio tracks (RantWoman, SOMETIMES, for instance) might also want to check out a wonderful 45-minute item from Lloyd Lee Wilson about spiritual authority. The moment RantWoman takes away: "if the proohet says what is needed, the prophet has done HER/ HIS /ZIR (RantWoman editorializing about presumed gender issues) job regardless of whehter the prophet has been heard.
Look here for Lloyd Lee Wilson item on spiritual authority.

Advocacy! Gratitude!
Friday at the Friendly Neighborhood Center for Extreme Computing, RantWoman fielded another call of the form "I have multiple crises. Bureaucracies are driving me up the Wall. No one knows anything. Will technology help and how fast can I get trained?"
This caller lost vision almost completely very suddenly in April and has been dancing with options for help ever since. Even the Friendly Neighborhood Center call routing is um, also an excursion. But Friday RantWoman was in the house.
Caller expressed particular vexation about Highly Topical Agency. Caller mentioned something about being told he has too much anger and anxiety for Highly Topical Agency to be able to help him.
RantWoman talked what she could about technology and training. RantWoman among other things dutifully posted a request for help to the WA Council of the Blind email list and scored a phone call from the Chair of the Advocacy Committee.
Chair of Advocacy rates HIGH on RantWoman's list of Angelic Troublemakers. Plus Chair of Advocacy is also a night owl so if the phone says the caller is Chair of Advocacy, RantWoman will ALWAYS pick up.
Chair of Advocacy's comment about Highly Topical Agency, paraphrasing slightly: "Gee if they turned down everyon who has anger issues, they would never get any clients!" Yessss! This is why RantWoman loves Chair of Advocacy!

Bitterroot Sunset
RantWoman has many perfectly fine sunset viewing options in Seattle but this photo of MT's Bitterroot range at sunset definitely catches her eye.
