A pagan priestess led an invocation to open some ceremony in Iowa and the Christian majority is seething.

What kind of ceremony?

I honestly don't see any good coming from those debates.
I was mostly just trying to correct historical and other misunderstandings, inaccuracies or wrong myths. Like how too many people are too quick with finding scapegoats for bad things that happened in the past.

How can you text while in a shower?

Have your phone on a dry but easily reachable surface outside the shower, next to a towel. When it goes off, reach round, dry your hand, reply, put down, back to shower. I've only done this once but in my defence it was a pretty important conversation about travel arrangements.

Alright... I usually keep my phone out of the bathroom, so I never had the problem of it getting wet there. I once accidentally left it in the pocket when I put clothes into the washing machine, though. Fortunately, it was a really cheap one.

The Blaatschapen should resign
