Leo the Great first articulated the “hypostatic union.” Here he considers our love towards God, and our desires to achieve a perfected love towards God. It must include love towards the neighbor, and extend to all people, whether foe or ally, slave or free, good or bad. God is bountiful to all, kind to all.

Do some argue against giving to those who are not allies?

How can you perfect godly love?

1) My teenage son, who has been working as a lifeguard for a couple of years, saved a swimmer in distress for the first time. He told me how his training kicked in, and I felt so proud of him.

2) A thoughtful colleague is going out of her way to help me with a professional difficulty.

3) This Studio Choom video of VIVIZ looking so elegant in their black outfits as they perform "La La Love Me" renews the joy I take in being a fan of Kpop:

Continued thread

this is going to pay most of my bills for the July cycle but I need to start pushing really hard to get #MutualAid for August! and expenses for moving which we didn't know was going to happen and we need to buy things like lights and maybe a kitchen island. as an aside I have no clue how it is now halfway through 2025.

my spouse @inoru_no_hoshi and I are both disabled Jewish and Jewish-ish queers trying to survive in suburban Los Angeles, with our cat Zoey, and we need help with basically everything while I'm in school and they're doing job readiness (and not ready yet).

we're in the beginning of moving that's what we really needed but that's a hasty process with a lot of unforeseen expenses that we already don't have money for, so anything and everything helps us! this move is the first step towards getting at least partially out of an abusive situation.

currently we're at 0/1000 that we need, this gets us solved for this month and August and means we can buy needed items for moving like plastic bins to put things into.
