Dear @Target:
I raised my kids in a Christian home.
Yet, somehow, all 4 of them turned out to be LGBTQ.
๐
Yeah, seriously.

You're the only store that provides gender-affirming & #Pride related merchandise for all ages, at lower prices.
Your partnership w/ @tomboyx helped me
...fund new clothes when one of my kids came out as trans. I want you to do whatever you have to do to keep your employees safe. Just know, I can't pull the gayness from my kids to keep THEM safe. ๐ And it scares me.
If a company as powerful & prosperous as @Target can't protect
...their people from right-wing hate, how on earth is a family like mine supposed to stay safe? I don't have a 100th of the resources you do. ๐
Please consider this when you decide where you stand.
Please re-post these (take screenshots or post links) to Target on various social media websites, w/ your own stories if you like.
It's PRIVILEGE that allows people to say, "I can give in to hate, just this once."
We will never have that option.

So.
(Deep sigh)
I have an entire drawer marked, "Hinges & hardware," & just discovered that all of those "new old stock" hinges have only a single hinge in each packet.
And they're all different. ๐
So, I went to #TheVulcan's hardware stash, & just had to share everything that
...is NOT a door hinge.
Ever since I started re-selling, the Vulcan has taken anything that didn't sell, salvaged the hardware from it, & saved it for future use.
Meaning, even though we have NORMAL hardware like this...
We also have things like this:
-cabinet soft-close hinges
-door stops
-metal gears for SOMETHING
-bearings from God knows how many Nordic Tracks.
My Evangelical background prepared me for COVID in a way I would never have guessed.
Story time. ๐งต
I loved the *look* of the Chinese language my entire life.
When I was in high school, Evangelical literature was *full* of stories of Chinese House Churches, & a huge Holy...
...Spirit led revival that was sweeping through China. I dreamed of being a Bible Smuggler one day.
Yes, when most ppl in high school were concerned about grades or dates or why their acne wouldn't go away, I dreamed of being a Bible Smuggler for Jesus.
๐
Anyway, I read...
...stories by Nora Lam, Voice of the Martyrs, Watchman Nee, etc., & learned (through an Evangelical lens, of course) how the Chinese government functioned.
They were always portrayed as a ruthless machine.
Of course, some of this was during the Mao Zedong revolution, which...
This is fantastic, a video review of a Prius w/ 200,000 mi. :๐งต
It already had the hybrid battery replaced. He addresses the same concern I had, which was a random loud noise as it switched from EV to gas-powered.
The biggest concern anyone transitioning to an EV should....
...be aware of (@ShannonDingle for you!) is that it does not accelerate the same way a gas-powered vehicle does. So, if you're pulling onto the highway, w/ oncoming traffic, you WILL NOT be able to accelerate the way you're used to.
If you're like me, & used to driving a...
...turbo engine,
& pull out onto a highway WITHOUT KNOWING THIS,
& are in front of a VERY LARGE TRUCK that is
GOING VERY FAST,
this is a REAL problem that requires quick thinking & defensive driving skills. ๐
It will take time to adjust your driving reflexes. This is...
