We had the honor of speaking to parents and educators at a beautiful school this week, fielding questions and sharing tools on how to help boys grow into happy, healthy men. So grateful to get to do this work. @mrhealthteacher

As you get older, what you find attractive changes. This is natural and if you step back, it's fascinating.
I LOVED Joey McIntyre from New Kids On The Block when I was 15. He was GORGEOUS. But I look at teen Joey now and it's hilarious. That's a baby!!
Joey McIntyre today, as a 50 year-old man, is really attractive to me! But when I was 15, I would've gagged at this photo of him as a middle-aged man.
Being attracted to people around your age is normal and healthy. Needing them to look like teenagers is NOT normal.
This is the Christianity my parents taught me.

Adam Hamilton on transgender rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.”
“I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”
A beautiful abuse prevention video from First 5 California directed at dads ... really lovely. I hope it's getting into enough feeds on social media.

As a former Christian nationalist, here are some common phrases that are dog whistles for CN:
"Christian nationalism is a made-up term.."
"Vote for Biblical values"
"Christians can't vote Democrat"
"America was founded as a Christian nation"
Demonizing empathy
Josh Howerton blocked me a long time ago for disagreeing on this, but he's absolutely wrong.
The religious right & "moral majority" started braiding Republicanism and Christianity together in the 1970s and peaked in the 90s.
IDK why he's trying to rewrite history.
I can only guess he A) wasn't raised Evangelical in a traditional USA 20th century setting and/or B) He's discovered he can get people to join him in both his church (they have a $200 million donation drive) and in politics by convincing them he's doing a faith-based revolution.
I thought digital textbooks would be amazing for my college -aged sons but it just means you can no longer buy used textbooks for cheap and the digital access costs $156 with no ability to resell to make a little back. :|

can't decide if I want to know everything about this or if I already know too much.
Last month, former ‘Good Morning America’ hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes got married. Now their ex-spouses are engaged to each other. thecut.com/article/andrew-sh…

🧵 The entire premise of the accusation that Christians in America "punch Right and coddle Left" is terminally flawed and reveals a lot about the worldly perspective behind it. Here's the problem:

What kind of fuck ass country has multi generational school shooting survivor families
Mom who survived school shooting coaches son through Oregon attack: 'Please be as quiet as possible' trib.al/0dxoVCa
Women are POWERFUL.
A teacher threw her phone at the teenage gunman who killed four people at an Oregon elementary school, then tackled and fought with him, likely saving lives before he was shot by a father who followed him into the building.

Hi! I'm done posting on this app unless it makes sense for the platform.
The number of duplicate replies including degrading language and outright lies make this app truly un-useable.
I miss when Twitter was annoying but not totally impossible for anyone other than Republicans
This is the only app where the algo isn't restrictive, so I get to see a diversity of opinions. That's why I liked it.
I used to like hearing from people who were different from me.
But the goal of this app now is to ratio others and it's exhausting.
