Did RantWoman EVER promise anyone 100% palatable language?
NOPE. Absolutely NOT!
RantWoman, CHILL OUT. Give the problem to God. It will work out.
Are you kidding? Some of these people do not even believe in God and we will not even talk about that non-consensual Old Testament God who does all sorts of wacky things that HIS People interpret all kinds of ways. Or the God(ess(es)) people carry around in their heads....
RantWoman what ARE you talking about?
It is Quarterly Meeting time and Friends from RantWoman's Meeting are busy planning it.
The WTAF links
Fall 2018 Quarterly Meeting Flyer for your Meeting or Worship Group
The flyer with a technological digression as follows:
RantWoman is totally into world domination. If every document she ever received and every website she ever touched were perfectly accessible, RantWoman would not be the least bit displeased. RantWoman would not even mind if Friends can bear with her need to wax unbelievably appreciative some more about Headings But today's meme is "How DO you do that?" This is the second PDF document in a week where instead of the screen reader moaning "Alert empty document," the screen reader reads a tiny part of the available text. RantWoman will OCR. Then RantWoman will wonder in the earlier document why even OCR does not find all the text. We will not even discuss Alt Text for pictures. Then we will return from exotic Planet RantWoman to plenty of circuses on the rest of the planet.
Selected Reading Links:
- The Canada Yearly Meeting Minute on prison abolition
- The Case For Abolishing Juvenile Prisons
- Towards the horizon of abolition: a conversation with Mariame Kab
RantWoman is having several problems with the proposed readings:
Yep, RantWoman THINKS she gets a whole bunch of things about racism and the criminal justice system, but isn't it a little bit racist to make criminal justice the main path to talking about race?
Crime is NOT all about race. This is one of those fractal threads where if one jumps on a single thread, suddenly the scope of words needed will expand enormously, more expansion than RantWoman even wants to try to comb into manageable strands tonight.
Ah, hell! On RantWoman's mind of late:
A Twitter thread where besides abortion politics (Could we maybe please try to agree about taking better care of the actually living children???), Catholics were trying to fast and pray and arrive at their own right spiritual state while digesting the latest PA grand jury findings.
A seminarian on the radio saying "now we are taught to call the cops." (And a digression to a long ago civil disobedience action in NY where the police academy cadets handling arrests were falling all over themselves having to cope with arresting Daniel Berrigan in his clerical collar and everything)
A thread on the radio about starting school at XCatholic institutions whereeven there views seem to have evolved at least somewhatin sensible directions.
Today's clickbait about #scotus nomination, #IBelieveChristine...
Annual cycles and new family threads to stir up....
And moreover:
RantWoman needs more "spiritual beings" forgiveness, grace and moral transformation language as well as boring social science buzzwords such as "evidence based" and lousy fiscal and public policy. In other words, RantWoman is NO DANG FUN.
This tangle is probably only one reason RantWoman needs to CHILL OUT for the evening and hold the upcoming weekend in the Light.
Holding...
praying....
