A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

‘Tis a small misfortune to oblige an ungrateful man; but it is unbearable to be obliged by a scoundrel.
 
[Ce n’est pas un grand malheur d’obliger des ingrats, mais c’en est un insupportable d’être obligé à un malhonnête homme.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶317 (1665-1678) [tr. Bund/Friswell (1871)]

"Making the #poverty line explicit will not make it politically neutral or universally accepted. It might, however, reveal whether disagreement concerns the #evidence, the #policy response, or the #threshold at which #hardship becomes recognised as poverty."

When did the world become so divided? I remember when we could have different opinions without hating each other.
I remember when we didn't cancel one another or block just because the other party was "wrong", according to our beliefs.

I miss the days when we could talk to one another, debate and just, be communal with each other.

"In the tents, the pain is not limited to losing our homes; it also means enduring the intense heat day after day. Bodies exhausted by hardship, and children searching for a patch of shade to protect them from the scorching sun, while patience remains our only weapon in the face of this suffering.💔⛺☀️"

The myth of the “irrational poor” is often used to justify cutting and restricting public programs. But people on SNAP and Medicaid are anything but irrational.

Christian Testimonies in April (2026)

Spring is officially here, bringing to the world natural reminders that Jesus is risen and that the God of the universe has the power to make the dead come alive. As the bare trees regrow their leaves and soft flowers bloom out of the melting remnants of ice and snow, it is the perfect time to share personal stories of how God restores the dead things inside of us, daily forgiving humans of their sins and turning them into beautiful new creations.

We have several nonfiction stories to present to you this month, from writers who have experienced God’s restoration after suffering long winters of incredible hardships, addictions, and doubts. We hope that as you read alongside us, you will witness the love and peace that can only come from Jesus. We hope that as you read, you are encouraged to give God your burdens, your shame, your repentant heart, and allow Him to plant seeds of abundant life into the barren soil of your soul.

Here’s the lineup this month:

• Apr 9th: My Christian Testimony by Ronnie Ray
• Apr 14th: Beauty from Ashes — A Testimony by Laurie Stonesifer
• Apr 16th: From Addicted to Redeemed by Dawn Sanchez
• Apr 21st: God Will Never Let Me Go by Preia Johnson
• Apr 23rd: The Story of My Two Fathers by Jennifer C Fishwick
• Apr 28th: A Woman & Her Faith by Connie Caudill
• Apr 30th: My Savior Can Do Anything by LG

We hope these stories draw you to the One who is able to make all things new.

Be on the lookout for the release of Issue 15 on May 22nd — both online and in print.

Thank you for reading. God bless you.

A word of resilience
#language #dictionary #survival #hardship

I am writing an open #letter to all #political sides as an #introduction to #hope I wish to turn #hurt away from and closer into as such through #affirmative #action accordingly if at all possible.

Let me start out by saying, that I #believe in the #power of real human prayer as #unbound #energy finding its way through us. And in turn, I'm no #religious #person by and large, but I am going to send this #prayer out there anyways because I feel it needs to be #said as is.

This will be a prayer covering several #topics of conversation that I #feel are important and significant enough to relay as one broadcast.

#extremism

To all #people I #pray that:
You realize living on your own #political #island sounds great in theory, be it on the #left or the #right of the spectrum. Or even at the #top or #bottom of it as well. But being unable to find or care for the #center of it, leaves you #vulnerable to #attack more so than anything else. And that is not a state of things I #desire for you to have to #live by.

#awareness

I pray that:
As #individuals you #collectively and #personally #understand that there are differences between the #perception of how you come across to others, and how others #perceive you in turn. It is okay to have a #difference of opinion, but to be #blind sighted by this, leaves you open to being #weaponized and I do not #wish that for you to have to #experience at all.

#sovereignty
I pray that:
You can #recognize how someone wants to be able to experience #respect without having to diverge or divulge your #interest in a #potential #conflict as such. In order for us to be able to #trust each other, we have to #remember how to #treat one another as #equals rather than constantly #competing for #dominance based on denying that there #exists a spectrum of #agreeability at play that we are all apart of.

#CommonSense
I pray that:
We keep building upon #frameworks that do not need to become a totally separate #foundation that exists just to serve you. But rather, exist as #modular #blocks that can join and detach from one another as already built #structures full and complete. This way, we are not trying to conflict over what block we have to share space with someone else in prioritizing. Because the entire thing is ours to shape in our own way. And so as a #metaphor, I feel it is #important to attach to the idea of having a sense in common, as opposed to a common sense where applicable, of things that cause us to #fight over how #relevant it is to most of us around the #actual or #planned #change currently in motion.

#battles
I pray that:
We are able to tell when to be #still and when to #move upon any #focus that #captivates us in part. Whether it exists as apart of a #whole or not. Doing so will help us make the best #impact #possible for the change we want to make a #reality for the #cause we are #concerned for.

And ultimately, I pray that we can move past the blatant need to have an #existential #crisis be on full display at the #crossroads of #agendas being carried out as they are each in turn, #instigated by #georegional #tribalism that serves nobody accept to put #humanity as a whole last, not first, as I intend to do.

All of these things are #real and can be #fixable and #doable as such. And I want to make sure, that this reality does not have a chance to get far out of #control the way it currently has.

For it is #outcomes like this, that #incomes should never have appropriately #manifested into #place that I want to #avoid and keep #preventable from ever #happening again.

To me, I find it very #unfortunate that we are living through #times of such blatant #hardship that should not have to be so unnecessary in today's day and age. For in this latest #protest #style #news #video we see this very inteersection of mounting, preventable #activities #culminating all at once in a display of #violent #behaviour best #repurposed for other #interests in my #opinion acordingly.

In #America #israel and #Canada or anywhere else in our #world we should not have to worry about #migration #problems at home #effecting the #symptom of #indifference at the #core of #ineffective #deference as such. Rather, if we simply #agree to #adapt our time towards #focusing on the #things we can #bear #witness to as our own #personal #legacy then I say we have done enough for our #community be it or we tied to a particular #faith or not.

I say this, in my own #human name for all it is worth. Because that is who I am now, and if any #guardian #angel believes this to be #true then all I ask, is that you add yours to this prayer and pass it forward.

Thank you for your #attention to this #matter as such. I #appreciate it and you very much for the #blessing that you are.

I have two snowblowers. In the fall, I very responsibly had the local small engine shop do regular maintenance on both. It was expensive.

2-3 weeks ago, I grabbed the spare to show 25yo how to use one. It died after 20m. The other finished the job.

Today I went to clear another snowfall....and the second one won't start. And is leaking gas.

SOOOOOO me, Caroline and Almanzo had to shovel ~500ft of driveway by hand.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life. The life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

#Fascism!: The US Army Publishes a Pamphlet in 1945 Explaining How to Spot Fascism at Home and Abroad

June 1st, 2023

" #Fascists come to power, the text explains, in times of #hardship, during which they promise 'everything to everyone': land to the #farmers, #jobs to the workers, customers and #profits to the small businessmen, elimination of small businessmen to the #industrialists, and so on. When this regime 'under which everything not prohibited is compulsory' inevitably fails to deliver a perfect society, things turn violent, both in the country’s internal struggles and in its conflicts with other powers. To many Americans at the time of World War II, this might seem like a wholly foreign disorder, liable to afflict only such distant lands as Italy, Japan, and Germany. But a notional American fascism would look and feel familiar, working 'under the guise of ‘super-patriotism’ and ‘super-Americanism.’ Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naïve. They know that they must hand out a line that ‘sells.’ "

Tens of thousands who fled war to U.S. face uncertain future
Two dozen Ukrainians tell Reuters of financial and mental #hardship
Some Ukrainians choose self-deportation to avoid #detention or penalties
Kateryna Golizdra has survived six months in legal limbo - so far. She thinks she can hold out another six months, waiting for Donald Trump's [shit] #administration to decide the fate of a #humanitarian program that allowed some #260,000 people who fled the #war in #Ukraine.
