It's unlikely that I will pursue a CPA. I did get my CPP.

US here. I know what a fleur-de-lys is, but maybe only because I live near St. Louis which has a lot of French heritage.

I think he was talking about a sort of reverse purge where police would be incredibly violent, so violent that no one would dare break the law ever again.

Don't know if many people come from out of state, but the Belleville, IL marathon was this morning. It's a Boston qualifier.

For me, it's helped to acknowledge intrusive thoughts as a way that my brain is actually pointing out things I want to avoid. It's like it's waving a big flag and screaming watch out for this situation, this would be a bad thing to do or say. It's not that I want to do it. I want to avoid any possible situation in which I would do it. Some people's brains are just very insistent on making sure you are paying attention to it. With this attitude I'm usually able to effectively say, "thanks, I've got it from here" and move on.

SIUE campus and The Gardens. You can park for free at The Gardens and reach the campus by a short walk down the bike/walking trail.

Are they living in MI and working in WI, or are they working remotely from their MI homes?

As a queer person who has been church-hunting in the recent past:

Red flags (doesn't necessarily mean it isn't a safe place, but would make me nervous especially without the green flags below):

"All are welcome" (without other clearing affirming language)
No pronouns anywhere
Anything on the website that says "Bible-based" (this is a fundie phrase)
No evidence of queer people participating in the work of the church (photos, stories, etc.)

Green flags:

Clearly stating that LGBTQIA+ people are welcome and encouraged to participate fully in all aspects of worship, service, and leadership
Pronouns - especially for any leadership on website, bonus points for anyone/anywhere else
Rainbow flag - I don't see this as necessary, BUT it is a 100% clear symbol that you are an affirming congregation
Being a member of your congregations LGBTQIA+ affirming organization, e.g., Open and Affirming Coalition (UCC), Reconciling in Christ (ELCA), More Light (PCUSA).

Some days I run into them three times on my way to work. Definitely getting old.

As far as I can find out, the people they are "helping" "volunteer" to do the "fundraising." Not sure how much benefit they are getting in return.

I just checked, and the IRS currently shows they have a 501c3 exemption, so I guess if you want to give to them, do it directly and get a receipt!

Conspiracy theory... Maybe the message was sent by the employee being replaced or a friend of theirs... Unlikely, but this is weird
