Well, no, you've got a point

Simple obedience is a good enough reason

@kimbearablykute this is why the word martyr comes from the Greek word for witness! When Christians die for Christ they are giving the ultimate witness for God and His glory. Martyrdom is the ultimate act of faith

My tags weren't to say self (or national) defense can't be justified, but about how the character of the church is to be in general. And the nature of the Christian witness. People's values can be changed. You're underestimating God bro.

late night thoughts

Broadway being afraid that filming and releasing shows would result in less people going to nyc is like sports teams being afraid that no one would come to their games if they were televised (which obviously isn’t a problem). It’s like this. You go for the experience but if you can’t be there you still get to be a part of it.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk on why we need a Netflix for Broadway shows.

Full names and details of every man who was convicted of raping Gisèle Pelicot. The list includes 50 men who could be identified, besides Gisèle's husband, ranging in age from 27 to 74. Among them are a firefighter, a journalist, a nurse, a construction worker, and a prison guard. Most have families of their own, and only about half had previous convictions.

Man, it's cool and all if you see a metaphor for marginalisation in the monstrous, and if you want the power fantasy of 'what if you could just eat anybody who threatened you/pissed you off'. Me too.

However, as soon as you start saying 'no, these monsters are a 1:1 on Specific Marginalised Group, and you have to treat them in the fiction like they are directly representative of real human members of the marginalised group', BUT you also, in the fiction, make them hurt/kill/eat humans? And then try to shame me, your audience, for noticing or engaging with the bit where they kill people, because you made them directly representative of a real-world marginalised group? You have lost me, and also, I think, the plot.

Radfems typically are extrapolating from their immediate family's weird issues to the rest of the population.

very troubling how people act like it’s extremely militant to just … not alter your body. complete non action … women just leaving their body and face alone is considered inherently political and wayyyy too radical for the majority of the population. find that a bit concerning

My very first one-legged Halloween costume back in 2010 was a partially eaten gingerbread man. I just bought a generic gingerbread suit on Amazon and cut the leg off. But all the costumes since I have been custom-made for my body. Which feels appropriate. The costumes celebrate a unique body shape. They should look equally original.

So this holiday season I teamed up with my costume partner Calen Hoffman to make a brand new Gingy modeled after the classic Shrek character. Oh snap!
