Thermal Thursday: A New Catchphrase [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-06-29

Welcome to Street Prophets Coffee Hour! Thermal for the warmth of a good cup of coffee or your preferred beverage, as well as the warmth of a more progressive religion and community.

Please follow #ThermalThursday! And feel free to share what you’re drinking (or eating) in the Comments, if you’re so inclined. This is an Open Thread for you to connect.

Isn’t that cute? I wish I was so creative with my coffee! Truth, though: If I am alert enough to put coffee in my coffee, it’s a good morning (h/t CathyM).

Please Note Disclaimer : I write about Christianity because I was raised in the Church, so it’s what I know. Furthermore, I know of several instances where people commenting about another religion have gotten it wrong, so I feel that I am not qualified to branch out. Nothing here should be taken as implying that Christianity is better than any other religion or no religion. You can see the array of topics Street Prophets cover here; and if you would also like to write for the series, please see the Street Prophets profile: “All who seek to promote a new conversation about the role of religion in America's public life are welcome here.” Just drop Street Prophets a Kosmail.

Today’s Topic: Welp, another week of caregiving duties for my bed-bound Mom, along with all the associated chores and errands. So once again I have burned through my writing and prepping time, and probably should try to get a nap. So I will mostly leave this here so y’all have a place to chit chat. And I’ll check in at least briefly this evening. But this happens quite a bit in this space and time, with no end in sight. I decided that I can’t just leave you with an open thread with nothing to chew on a lot of weeks. So I am working on a new catchphrase. Please consider, help me refine, and feel free to spread far and wide: Illegitimi non curreren patrium

— fractured (but probably understandable by most) Latin for “Don’t let the [Christian nationalist dominionist] b@st@rds run the country.” Or maybe “perderen” rather than “curreren” — “ruin” rather than “run”.

Great campaign slogan? Great slogan at least for progressive Christians? Of course, the other side could appropriate it as well. They just have a different idea of who the illegitimi are. So what could be better? Your ideas please in the Comments!

Now as always, let’s elevate our Community Cred and repost The Needs List! From Aashirs nani (with permission) on Helping Humpday! We still have people who could use a little help from their friends!

PLEASE NOTE:

When sending via PayPal, be sure to select “Send to family/friend” to avoid fees on either end. Be aware, both donor and recipient, that GFM not only charges fees, but also money received through that platform is treated as taxable income. If you are requesting help through GFM, also be aware that there can be delays in accessing the money.

COMMUNITY NEEDS LIST AS OF 6/28/23:

So glad to see progress, thanks to you all!

Please note also that Chef Bobby Neary, “@nuevopioneer,” passed away January 14, 2023. We will continue to post his favourite charity to honour him — please consider a donation to the Satos, the street pets of Puerto Rico! Bobby adopted his own Sato, Missilu, as well as raised funds for PR’s Satos.

I’m in for a mickle each week toward a variety of DKos members on the Needs List. I hope you’ll join me. Always glad to see the needed amounts gradually decreasing!

If helping financially isn’t the right choice for you at this time, you can still help. Tip and rec the diary so it stays visible. Share on social media: Twitter, Facebook, whatever platform you use, to bring the attention of others outside our daily readers. And offer words of encouragement to people who are struggling. It can be scary to be struggling, and it can feel lonely. Let them know we understand and are here to help.

If you can, whenever you see fundraiser diaries from someone you know here, please visit the diaries and leave comments for their authors. Those words of encouragement are vital! If you don’t like fundraisers, please just move along. They are a longstanding tradition at DKos — Until we vote in enough progressives to create a much stronger social safety net (maybe in 2024)!

Repost from DoctorH’s comment. Because I think it’s hilarious.
