And that's the beauty of math, right? There are many ways to get there, but there is one answer.It's tidy, if you're tidy. It's also why I hate math - because I am not the tidiest worker. I try to be, and am training myself to be so I can enjoy the process of things more, and actually invest in the process as much as the outcome, but when I was younger and sometimes still, I really don't have time for poorly worded instructions, and I tend to rush through shit if I don't see the point in it.Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

How are you dealing with our nation's constant onslaught of frightening news? Witnessing democracy itself under attack has me feeling despair more often than I'd like, and I know I'm not alone. To be honest, talking about job search strategies and leadership best practices feels a bit futile while our nation flirts with fascism.  So, on this episode, I'm taking a look at how we can continue to function when we're faced with crisis after crisis, day after day.Let's talk about how we can help—ourselves and others who may be feeling despair, too:How the overwhelm campaign is a deliberate strategy designed to shock us into submission;Why we need to start by checking in with our basic needs;The deep damage of doomscrolling;How the combination of finding meaning and taking action can create change.Related Links:American Psychological Association, Stress in America 2024 - https://www.apa.org/pubs/reports/stress-in-america/2024Frontline interview with Steve Bannon - https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/interview/steve-bannon-3/Vox, “Flood the zone with sh*t”: How misinformation overwhelmed our democracy - https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/1/16/20991816/impeachment-trial-trump-bannon-misinformationAmerican Friends Service Committee, “How allies can defend against ICE raids” - https://afsc.org/news/how-allies-can-defend-against-ice-raidsNational Immigrant Justice Center, “Know Your Rights: If You Encounter ICE” - https://immigrantjustice.org/for-immigrants/know-your-rights/ice-encounter/Episode 293, What 2020 Taught Me (About F-Off Funds) - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode293TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dirt in a cog is a way to embody resistance. It focuses on slowing down, jamming up, creating little bits of friction that make it difficult to keep attacking our citizens effectively. We need all types of resistance, don't think there are limits to your modes of resistance. Make fascism hard. Don't normalize the violence we're seeing. Keep showing your community + your country that you aren't going to lie down and watch it burn. You don't have to wait for one big act of revolutionary change to start pushing back. You can push back against the shift in everyday actions + choices, if you know where to look.

Abou Amara (lawyer and democratic strategist) joins Dan Cook to discuss the current state of politics for the democratic party. Dan asks if democrats are in a place to capitalize on the momentum of the No Kings Protest. Abou speaks to the long game in winning one of the Houses of Congress back in the next election cycle. They also discuss the redistricting campaigns and the states that stand to be impacted the most.

In this episode, Brad Onishi sits down with Rev. Alba Onofrio—executive director of Soulforce and host of Teología Sin Vergüenza—for a powerful exploration of faith, queerness, and resistance. Together, they unpack how white Christian nationalism and institutions like ICE perpetuate spiritual violence against marginalized communities, and how Soulforce responds through nonviolent resistance and liberative theology. Rev. Alba shares their own remarkable story—from growing up in Appalachia and coming out, to embracing the name “Reverend Sex” and reclaiming spirituality as a site of freedom rather than shame. The conversation dives into the roots and mission of Soulforce, highlighting its Spirit Resource Library and the movement's commitment to equipping activists with tools for justice and healing. Rev. Alba reflects on the power of queer and trans ancestors, the complexity of belonging for Latinx and mixed-race individuals, and the importance of creating inclusive, full-bodied faith communities. Through Teología Sin Vergüenza, they continue to cultivate space for unapologetic conversations about faith, identity, and justice—challenging listeners to imagine a world where love and liberation guide our spiritual lives.

Joy is part of the practice. When you can't find it and don't know where to start? Start small. Start by reminding yourself that joy still exists, and it's a frequency vibrating right above our heads, and if we can just poke our heads out of this damned hole, we can find it - tap into it, and use it like the resource it is. Pay attention to the glimmers that make you feel seen. The goal is to make the next best choice. Reclaim your agency by starting with fun, whimsy, and joy.

Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, whimsy, and joy to make those in power look ridiculous. It flips the script and reclaims agency. The optics matter, the message matters, and how the message arrives matters. So get involved, stop leaning into despair, and flip that damned script. Get some joy in your resistance. It's exactly what the world needs right now.

Our brains have a tendency to over-value the effect of TINY inconsequential differences when comparing options. Distinction bias is a cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate how different their options are when they compare them to each other rather than evaluating them independently, against some absolute standard. This bias often leads to an exaggerated perception of the differences between options. - ClearerThinking.orgDistinction Bias effects: https://www.clearerthinking.org/post/distinction-bias-definition-examples-and-effectsDistinction Bias Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_biasNir's take on Distinction Bias: https://www.nirandfar.com/distinction-bias/Reddit's solutions: https://www.reddit.com/r/adhdwomen/comments/1ig89cd/anyone_else_agonize_over_decisions_and_then_end/Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, I talk about how resistance blocks blessings and opportunities meant for you, why surrender is not weakness, but spiritual strategy, the link between control, fear, and delayed manifestation, how to shift from striving to receiving through trust and alignment and more.

You don't need that information to make an intelligent decision, cause you are stupid, and we will make sure that you stay that way. 

In Episode 281, Kelly Kennedy delivers a powerful reminder that in a world moving faster than ever, adaptability isn't optional—it's the skill that defines whether we thrive or fade. He shares how resisting change once held him back, from pushing against early CRM systems to realizing that fear of new ideas only slows progress for everyone involved. Using Apple as a case study in self-disruption, Kelly shows how the most successful leaders and companies evolve intentionally—choosing to innovate before they're forced to.Kelly challenges listeners to stop fearing change and start seeking it, revealing how the information age has given way to the intelligence age powered by AI. He outlines clear, practical steps to embrace adaptability, face fear, and lead with purpose in times of rapid transformation. The message is clear: adaptability isn't about reacting to change—it's about causing it, while it's still your choice to do so.Key Takeaways: 1. Adaptability isn't reacting to change, it's causing it before you're forced to.2. The information age is over — those who cling to old rules will get left behind.3. Fear of change is natural, but it's usually just the fear of what we can't yet see.4. The other side of change is always better, even if it's invisible from where you stand.5. Resisting progress doesn't protect us — it holds everyone back.6. Apple's success came from self-disruption; they chose to evolve while it was still their choice.7. In the AI era, adaptability isn't optional — it's the new literacy.8. Systems and processes still matter, but only if they evolve with you.9. Growth begins when you stop defending comfort and start seeking change.10. The people who win the future will be the ones who adapt faster than fear can stop them.If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.

How can Christians pursue justice, lead with integrity and stay spiritually grounded in a divided and demanding world? In this honest and theologically rich episode, Pastor Mike Kelsey of McLean Bible Church shares how staying rooted in the character of God helps him navigate polarization, burnout and the challenges of leadership. For Mike Kelsey, pursuing justice isn't an optional add-on — it's an essential expression of discipleship based on God's character. In this conversation with NAE President Walter Kim, Mike offers an honest reflection on what it's been like to pastor through the cultural upheaval of recent years, and about the pressure that comes from trying to meet countless expectations. True rest, he says, doesn't come from striving or disengaging, but from being deeply centered on seeking God's approval above all else. You'll also hear Mike and Walter discuss: How practicing intentional Sabbath rhythms and setting boundaries with social media creates space for renewal and clarity; The influence of the Black Church tradition on Mike Kelsey's understanding of justice;  How McLean Bible Church is pursuing gospel-centered justice through foster care, disability ministry and racial equity; and Practical wisdom for navigating justice fatigue, ministry burnout and deep cultural division. Subscribe today wherever you listen to podcasts.Do you like the podcast?Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts and leave us a review.

This episode of our Resisting Empire series tells the story of Eduardo Mondlane: scholar, activist, and founding president of Mozambique's liberation movement, FRELIMO. Born under Portuguese rule, Mondlane's early encounters with colonial oppression shaped his lifelong beliefs. He used every opportunity to challenge the systems of empire that sought to define him. As FRELIMO's leader, Mondlane blended intellect with strategy, urging that true freedom meant building a fair and inclusive society. His assassination in 1969 cut short his vision, but his words, a luta continua “the struggle continues” became a rallying cry for Mozambique's fight for independence and for liberation movements across Africa. https://culturecustodian.com SOURCES: Africa Today Vol. 26, No. 1 (1st Qtr., 1979), pp. 19-24 (6 pages)Published By: Indiana University Press Review of African Political Economy, Vol. 32, No. 104/105, Oiling the Wheels of Imperialism (Jun. - Sep., 2005), pp. 309-315 FRELIMO (Britannica article) Sansone, L.  (2023, December 13).

Friction is a type of resistance that leads to consideration, growth, and unique solutions. Without friction, we all flatten into the same, boring, identity. Also, friction doesn't "go away" it shifts. So, where you find a frictionless experience, it means that someone else had to take that on.Most importantly: Friction isn't the enemy. It is a valuable communicator, if we're willing to listen.The sources:https://rahultrikha.com/the-hidden-power-of-friction-why-resistance-creates-value-78b0441a066ahttps://kyla.substack.com/p/the-most-valuable-commodity-in-theResources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

In this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Buck Sexton to offer practical advice for conservatives considering a move later in life — from finding like-minded communities to building new friendships in your 60s. Then, Peter J. Hasson, politics editor at the Washington Free Beacon, joins to unpack Big Tech’s bias against conservatives, the challenges of raising children in the digital era, and why independent thinking and reading are more important than ever in today’s polarized culture. The Karol Markowicz Show is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network - new episodes debut every Wednesday & Friday.

This morning, we will celebrate World Communion Sunday, a day when Christians around the globe gather at the Lord's Table. In Luke 24, the disciples' eyes were opened at Emmaus when Jesus blessed and broke bread with them, turning their despair into joy and their confusion into hope. At the Lord's Table, we too encounter Christ's living presence—a presence that binds us together across nations and generations, strengthens us for the journey, and nourishes us for the healing of the world. Sermon on Luke 24:28-35, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on October 5th, 2025.

Sometimes, when you're dissociating effectively, and really "in the zone" of distraction? You can find ANY interruption to be an inconvenience. Even winning. I fear this is what has been happening to me when I lock into my phone too hard. Every interruption (even the good ones) feel like a shock to my system. Everything feels like a distraction. Learning why this happens has been really helpful in my ability to address the "infinite scroll loop" trap that I sometimes find myself in.

Did you know that your* government has run official, formal, propaganda campaigns against its own citizens to spread disinformation. They have manipulated media, created bot account farms to sow discontent, and created smear campaigns - all in the name of "political strategy". "Remember kids, the next time someone tries to tell you the government wouldn't do that, oh yes, yes they would." If they want you to distrust your neighbor, don't buy in. Distrust the government, instead.

We've discussed the "dead internet theory" a bit in the past, but today I want to remind you that is by design - and the people who profit off of you believing the internet is dead are grateful you don't look for the alive parts of it, that are still there + pushing back against the pollution + misinformation they are spreading. The internet is not trash. I think of it like thrifting. Most of it is trash, but there is the occasional treasure that is so worth sifting through the mountain of shit, you'd do it again in a heartbeat. But to find that good shit, you have to be intentional, pay attention to where your eyes go, stay curious and open, but never BUY anything without looking deeper - at the seams, at the little stains in certain light, at the source of the material. But sometimes you stumble upon work that is profound, and unique, and meant for your hands.) Is this metaphor too convoluted? Maybe. But the internet isn't dead. Shit, it's how we found each other.

Today we're talking about #gamergate and how it can help us understand what has been going on in our culture, just beneath the surface. Understanding that has changed my perspective on how I address certain topics with people I engage with. "Leftists may have a better product to sell but conservatives know better how to two sell a product." Did you know? Some studies show that "right-leaning individuals" actually understand that "left-leaning individuals" are more morally sound in their foundations. This is why logic and rationalization is pointless. They don't need to be good. They don't need to be right. They aren't trying to win. They are trying to keep the argument going. The argument isn't supposed to end. They want to kick the can down the road, with no intention of recycling it. They are very good at convincing you it's in "good faith", when it is not. Don't engage. Recognize that the "high road" doesn't exist.

We ALL have ideology that guides us. Developing a personal, social, and cultural ideology is an inescapable fact of life. So let's consider your consumer ideology for a minute: How much of it is yours? How much of it was pushed upon you? How much of it is manufactured by advertisements? Do you have any brands you feel "loyal" to? Why? Is it a superior product? A better price? Or does it appear to align with your ideology?Today's sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumerismhttps://academic.oup.com/jcr/article/49/1/74/6358727?login=false#355249712https://business.columbia.edu/faculty/research/consumption-ideologyhttps://sserr.ro/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sserr-10-2-145-149.pdfResources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
