#Christ as an example

American Television after 5 years of pushing for queer representation: I hope you wanted unnecessary drama, angst with a maybe resolution, and three unfulfilling seasons of questionably written flirtation. And that all comes before anything is half-confirmed with a singular lukewarm kissing scene between two conventionally attractive, white bisexual women!

Thai Television .3 seconds after they figured out queer content is marketable: Did you want something kinky, soft, or stupid? Did you want cat ears? We’ve got cat ears! We’ve got safe/sane/consensual OR off-the-charts bad etiquette BDSM. We’ve got college students out the ass! As long as they’re an engineer or architect, choose your flavor. Do you want an age gap or classmates? Something for adults? Teens? Everyone was childhood besties, how about that??? This is a short order restaurant and I will flip you some gays like they’re hotcakes, just tell me what you want.

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

[ivan-fyodorovich-k]

I just saw one of those “Jesus wanted everyone to love each other” asks where the Christian pile-on gotcha answer was, and I’m going to oversimplify it, “Jesus was actually murdered because he was a brutally honest dick” and you know, sure, people throw out that “hey you’re not being very loving as I understand love for being a member of the love religion, why aren’t you behaving how I want you to behave” gotcha a lot, often that kind of statement is made in exceeding bad faith by someone who has nothing but deep contempt for religion, and further, we all make God in our own image and I can’t help but feel like people who feel compelled to point out what an abrasive and combative person Jesus was are themselves—but I digress

I’m not sure how to articulate this

Jesus is more severe than people who think he was some kind of 1960s free love hippie like to imagine, but I can’t help but think that the people who are a little too happy, gleeful even, to shove the perception in the opposite direction are also missing something

Whose is the greater sin? Do we prefer to stand before God accused of being too tolerant or too legalistic?

I’m not sure, but, I think that people who are incapable of squaring the circle of Christ preaching love AND being crucified, and think therefore he must have been incredibly abrasive, are underestimating how angry you can make some people by being, say, extremely merciful

Oh, I see. You and all your little friends are just too DUMB to understand. Too low IQ. The arguments sure is convincing.

I’m not kidding they really are saying somewhere out there that Kripke couldn’t possibly understand what it means to be blue collar because to do that, you’d have to have read about the value of a linen coat (which is not directly related to any of this btw) from Marx’s Das Kapital. Kripke of course couldn’t possibly have read it, and if you haven’t read it, you can’t possibly understand anything about class. You have to have read Theory™️ to understand what it means to be *looks down my nose at people who I assume Have Not Read All The Books That I Did* blue collar *sips from tea cup with my pinky out, chortling*

Ephesians 5:1-2 (NIV) - Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Piccrew altar example :)

This is my altar to God!!!

I have sage oil, multiple crosses, a few angels, quartz and amethyst, and some Bible verses :) lots of white colors for purity, and the incense I have is lavender and sage+citrus. I also put some dried lavender clippings and some fake roses. My grandpa's necklace is on there right now because I wanted it to be blessed before I wear it to my graduation.

I think we need to add to the whole 'why can no one operate a computer anymore/again' that aside from people not being taught and programs becoming increasingly babylocked, programs also just. Don't tell you what they do, don't give you feedback on your input and frequently just don't react without indicating that they are not reacting to your input?

What I mean is. I remember getting started on computers, and there were buttons in video games that didn't do what they were supposed to. I assume this also sometimes happened in other programs but I was a baby and didn't use those. But this was considered a bug and a massive indicator of awful design and/or quality of the program. The expected, normal operation of a program used to be to find the button that does what you want, click on it, hear the little clicky noise indicating the computer knows you clicked the button and then either something happens or (more likely) there's a pop-up informing you Something Is Happening We Promise Between 1 Minute and 67 Years remaining. If it didn't work it made a little '!' sound or gave you a pop-up.

My current computer, aside from straight up not displaying the buttons for some functions I KNOW ARE THERE (being a migraine patient who needs to adjust all her screens is fun in this brave new world), constantly gives me '!'-sounds over every single thing THAT'S WORKING (why is there a '!PROBLEM!'-sound file attached to NORMALLY ADJUSTING THE SOUND WITH THE SOUND BUTTONS. A FILE WHICH OVERRIDES MY SOUND ADJUSTMENT AND SCREAMS IN MY EAR. WHY.) and also frequently just does not do the thing I told it to do with no indication that it is experiencing a problem or has aborted the order I gave it. I notice this most frequently with both the email programs I use (work and private, different programs) that will just. Not display emails. There is an email. I click on the email. There is no visual or auditory indicator if the program knows I clicked on the email. The email doesn't open. I click on the email. The email doesn't open. I reload the program. I click on the email. the email doesn't open. I click on the email. Finally, the email opens. I work with the email. I click on the next email. The next email does not open.

I could say something about mice and heroin pellets here but honestly I'm too pissed off.

Like. Man. What's happening here. Used to be if Grandpa called and said 'None of my emails are opening the internet is kaput :(' it was because he's 80 and clicked on the browser instead of the E-Mail client. Now it's frequently because his fucking emails are indeed just not opening for no goddamn reason except everyone abandoning the concept of 'functional program' somewhere around the time I graduated school.

I can't believe I'm being made to ride or die for Taylor Swift but some of the Christians condemning other Christians for listening to her are behaving like they've never heard a song before

Been experiencing a thing lately where I will make an OC to help myself work through some mental shit I have going on and then once I've worked through it the OC becomes Something Else Entirely.

near getting angry at mello hits so different imo because of how patient / understanding he is overall with mello,,, like. this is the most obvious statement in the world given the actual text [gestures vaguely toward all of near's Mello Apologism in canon] but it DOES get me. near is not a doormat in the slightest but he does allow mello a lot of grace, and it is extremely fun to consider & determine what near's breaking point / limit would be in any given universe.

Black History Month Approaches, Saints

And I have a project in mind. I will write a post for each week of Black History Month, featuring a Black Latter Day Saint from History. I may do more but trying to keep it attainable. I will also share the article I wrote for the Herald, a CofChrist magazine, on RLDS Black History in America.

I'd love it if anyone would like to join me with their own post honoring Black saints that have an impact of you today.
