Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You're reading the quotes, right? It's all good.
I don't remember them though. Something godly.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Living deep in the Bible Belt, I've always thought of the Catholics I know as the people who are laid back and tolerant about religion and social issues, as opposed to the Church of Christ groups (that my dad was a heathen backslider from) that were all about being vocally judgemental.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Tom!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The student health center at my university finally got a shipment of H1N1 vaccine, but it's limited, so only pregnant people and people with babies under 6 months can get it for now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Go Tom!
Speaking of religion, I got a menu in my mailbox from what is apparently a Mexican restaurant associated with a Christian ministry.
I have one of these! The restaurant is called something like Good Friends and has both a Chinese and a Mexican menu. I'm not confident the owners are of either nationality, so I have never been tempted to try them. (The Chinese side of the menu, for example, includes buffalo wings.)
As for Catholic splinter groups - isn't the deal that if you splinter you're not Catholic any more? Because of the whole Pope-having thing?

I love a Chinese Mexican place! The guac is terrible, but so fast! I wonder if they have those here....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Booyah, Tom! (Imagine me as a one-person Cyborg/Robin team of gleeful fist-pumpers)
And now I'm all abashed. I'm not even that good at churchiness, and I definitely could be better about using the one real gift I have, language, to write stern letters to various Powers That Be.
What the hell. I promise now, in public so y'all can hold me to it, that before the end of the year I'll at least write a note to my bishop's office explaining that, aside from the fact that I couldn't contribute to the annual appeal if I wanted to, I flat out don't and wouldn't contribute even if I could, and here's why.

right. So I wonder if there are whole congregations that would be like, hellllloooo Espiscopal church in America, we are more aligned with your beliefs and want to become part of you now.
