10 Turtle Day

24. Actually, I joined in late 2023 after being a long time lurker

Sunday

I joined when I retired. I think I’ve made other original posts but could be wrong. Seems after lurking for so long I am still in that reflexive mode that I can’t post. Mostly I just hang out in the lounge and post my daily Wordle results. Thank you to all for being so welcoming and for the hearts, if you were so generous to give me one of yours.

I remember someone commented on a Ted Haggard scandal article with a mention of DU. Remember him? Disgraced high profile religious leader, maybe Focus on the Family or one of those equally toxic right wing patriarchal sexually repressive organizations. The details are sketchy now, it’s been a while. He was outed as gay, I think, and outed from his position with lightening fast speed. Anyway, that’s how I found this place.
