Cornelius van Santvoord, Reformed Dutch pastor, considers life of Jesus after reading Dickens. Jesus told followers to do good and to give. Faith and hope, and “reformatory enterprises”, are worthless without love (here, synonymous with charity).

Today, do we see many who are champions of “reformatory enterprises” who are fine with charitable operations being completely shut down? How good is that faith?

How can you follow in His footsteps?

@mutualaid @disability bump, haven't eaten in a week and won't for another week.

My family are all disabled, with only 1/5 able to work for minimum pay every two weeks. We're paying out of pocket for all of our mental health meds, due to no insurance and we don't have a car.

I'm trying to get $50 to eat. Thank you so much, hope you're doing well. <3 <3

$0 / $50 - Family hasn't eaten in about a week and won't for another week

Due to extensive medical billing and almost losing our home just a few days ago, we cannot eat until next week. We already haven't eaten for about a week already.

We're all disabled, mentally ill, with only 1/5 able to work for minimal pay every two weeks. I'm trying to get $50 to feed us.

Thank you so much, hope you're doing well. <3 <3

Hi beautiful people of #mastodon :mastodon:

I'm currently fundraising for the local HelpCentre ⛪ which helps people in all situations. The HelpCentre is a registered charity and in 2024 has had successes including:

7 people testified they're free from drug addiction.

over 10 couples testified their marriage has improved.

3 rough sleeping people received support and now have their own place and are in employment.

Inmates and their families have received support.

and much more.

Your support is much appreciated and I can assure you it will be used in most impactful way ! 👊

Hey Northeast US friends, Ocean State has a great giving program:

Buy 3 or more toys at $10 each, donate them at checkout, some children get toys for Christmas, and you get an Ocean State gift card for the same value as the cost of the toys.

Also, buy a $40 very nice winter coat, donate it, and some Vietnam Veteran gets a coat, and you get a $40 gift card.

“Is vaccine-induced immunity better than immunity from infection?

Vaccine-induced immunity is better because it’s safer. When you get infected with COVID, symptoms from the infection wreak havoc on your body. Whether or not you’ve been infected or vaccinated previously, the COVID booster is going to strengthen your immune responses to high levels and do so in a safe way.

Can I still get COVID if I’m vaccinated?

People who are vaccinated can still get COVID, but it is much more likely they will experience mild symptoms. Vaccinated people are much less likely to experience severe illness or get so sick that they need to be hospitalized. Data continue to show that those who are hospitalized with COVID are largely people who have not received a COVID vaccine within the past 12 months.

Particularly for people at higher risk of severe COVID, vaccination is an essential tool for reducing COVID complications, hospitalization, and death.

Can you get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time?

Yes! In fact, studies have shown that people who decide to spread out their vaccines into separate appointments often don’t follow through with getting both. We’ve also seen that the immune response generated by each vaccine does not change based on whether they are administered at the same time or separately.

It’s important to remember that many of the same populations at high risk of experiencing severe illness from COVID are also at high risk of severe influenza. Especially for these vulnerable populations, it’s a good idea to time your vaccines together.”

David James Burrell, Dutch Reformed pastor in NYC, laments the Armenian genocide. He says solution is “the processes of gospel of Christ.” I agree.

With sad irony, one must note the two regions Burrell claims were so transformed (in his 1920’s view) are Italy and Germany. It didn’t last. But where else were “processes of the Gospel” found but in the Confessing Church (Barmen 1934, #bonhoeffer, etc.)? Do we need to keep applying?

Introducing a new strategy to effectively fundraise for people in Gaza. One link.

linktr.ee/fundsforgaza

If you help us spread it far enough, people in Gaza can be prioritized at their turn to effectively funnel in the money to help them reach their targets, rather than having uneven distribution that prevents most of them from reaching their targets.

Of course, this is just a band-aid fix. Without an immediate ceasefire and pressuring Western governments to reinstate UNRWA funding and force the israeli apartheid regime to let in aid unconditionally, the overwhelming majority of people in Gaza will not have access to their basic needs.

But we hope this campaign will make a difference in the lives of some individuals. To them, these campaigns mean everything to them: it is a matter of life or death.
