Anarcho-fascist Infiltrators

“Christian Nationalsocialist Comrades, if you need advice and help, please contact the local group.” The American Libertarian Party formed in 1971 to counter Nixon’s Quaker prohibitionism, and repudiate all bigoted hysteria. Birth control had been banned in 1873 by the Comstock law, which brought a Crash, mandated postal monopoly censorship and the burning of books (Beatles albums were burned…

Other Christians: Yeah I’m a Christian, but don’t worry, I’m normal.

Meanwhile, Christian Tumblr: I worship a triune God who emptied themself to become a human. He was born a poor teenager and grew up in poverty and at risk of homelessness. He was fully God and fully Human. He taught and lived in radical indiscriminate self giving love and subversive peaceful resistance of oppression. He fought the cause of the widow, orphan, immigrant, poor, and oppressed. He loved the sinner so much they left their sin and followed him, and reconciled both the government allying capitalist and the rebel freedom fighter to harmony in himself. He invites us to take his prescience into ourselves by eating his flesh and drinking his blood. My God then enthroned himself as the exalted king of the world by dying the death of a cursed blaspheming slave. He then rose from the dead and decided his first witnesses would be women, whose witness is worthless in court. His followers then went on to live in voluntary communism, to advocate radical generosity, to destroy ethnic barriers, to elevate the inherent humanity of women and the enslaved, to self identify as exiled and enslaved refugees and pilgrims, to equate God with Love, to diagnose the government as a necessary evil worth responding to with equal parts submission and resistance, and to make the preposterous claim that we conquer the world by giving our lives in self sacrificing love. In my faith, normalcy is heresy.

[ cw: nightmares / trauma / ]

Post-invasion, Mikey sneaks into Leo’s room and when asked by Leo what the problem was, Mikey just smiles and says since he’s awake and knew Leo would be too, he didn’t want either of them alone. Leo laughs and lets Mikey stick around, both of them clumped together on Leo’s bed, watching grainy compilations of old Lou Jitsu commercials on Leo’s phone.

Technically, Mikey didn’t lie. He just didn’t explain everything that led him to Leo’s room. He didn’t explain the nightmare of his arms burning up too bright, too fast, destroyed before Raph and Donnie have a chance to help. He didn’t explain how he woke up with a wail caught in his throat, phantom pain in his arms and chest alike chasing away any semblance of exhaustion. He didn’t explain how his mind made sure he knew, vividly, that if one thing went wrong with his portal, then he would have never seen Leo again.

He didn’t explain, and he didn’t have to. Leo knows his brothers better than he knows himself, and Mikey has always been easy to read. So it’s no trouble to let Mikey know that he’s still with them, that Leo is here and alive with everyone else. And when Mikey finally regains his exhaustion and falls asleep leaning against Leo, Leo simply maneuvers him into a more comfortable position and stays by his side.

He doesn’t move, doesn’t go to sleep - not that he could, anyway. He just mindlessly scrolls on his phone, the soft snores of his little brother filling the room. He stays in place, awake, because he wants to be sure that when Mikey wakes up again it’s to the immediate sight that Leo is alive and well and home.

And, if Leo’s bring honest, that’s a reminder not just for Mikey’s sake.

how do I even explain to people that yes I do believe in the truth of God and the truth of Christ but at the same time I really do not care whether it's all true or not, because less than a month ago things were getting bad again and then I converted and now for the first time in my life it's January (and the sun has only come out from behind the clouds three times in the past 4 weeks) and yet I am not afraid to live another year and I truly genuinely love living and feel hopeful and grateful and glad

Friendly reminder you can be Pagan/Christian and be trans

It’s feels hard to be a witch when many associate witchcraft with women hood

You’re not less of a witch for being a man

Your gods love you, you’re not a traitor or a bad person for being a man

You don’t have to fit into the aesthetic of dark femme if you work with or worship Lilith, the morrogon , hel, Hecate or anyone

Athena won’t view you as stupid and Aphrodite won’t view you as ugly

Artemis still loves you you’re not disappointing her

I love manly witches!

if you work with god in a pagan or Christian way is great! Your not a traitor for believing in god or Jesus

God made lots of cool things so why wouldn’t you be a man?

Mary still loves you

Your transition, whatever that may be isn’t a disservice to Gods creation (he’s not mad)

You don’t have to be a Christian in spite of being trans you don’t have to be trans in spite of being Christian Jesus was both man and god and Mary was both virgin and mother

If other queer people treat you badly for believing in god that’s for them to deal with not you

Being a man isn’t a bad thing

God already knows you’re trans so why hide from him?

“I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron's point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so sharp that it made me utter several moans; and yet the sweetness of this intense pain was so excessive, that I could never wish to be rid of it.”

I noticed something else on the Map of the Old Faith.

Are those pentagram shapes with the converging lines Ley Lines?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_line

Ley lines are straight alignments drawn between various historic structures, prehistoric sites, and prominent landmarks...

...esoteric traditions have commonly believed that such ley lines demarcate "earth energies" and serve as guides for alien spacecraft.

Where Heaven and Earth meet...

It might also have something to do with Narinder's, now the Mystic Seller's, doorway.

I had a theory that because when we finally go to confront Narinder in the gateway, the lamb floats upwards, Narinder and his domain are not actually below the world, but above it. At the edge of where heaven and earth meet.

The Gateway is a point of connection to the outer spheres and/or the place between. Life, death, this world, or the next. A boundary between mortals and divinity.

This would, or could, make it a location of supernatural significance within the world of COTL. Hence, all those lay lines meeting there.

If those are Ley Lines, and judging by how many lines meet at those converging points, The Lands of the Old faith might be situated where a large amount of energy, magic, whatever, is being drawn to. That might be the very reason the Bishop's settled there, to draw on this power.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Loving Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and compassion, lifting up the people I care about into Your hands. Lord, You know their struggles, their fears, and the weight they carry. I ask that You help them trust You with everything—every worry, every doubt, and every step of their journey. Please show them that they don’t need to lean on their own understanding, but can rest in Your perfect wisdom and love.

In moments when the path ahead seems uncertain, remind them that You are there, faithfully guiding their steps. Help them to see You in all their decisions and circumstances, to surrender their plans, and to find peace in knowing that You have a beautiful purpose for their lives. May they feel Your presence close, calming their hearts and lighting the way forward.

Lord, please give them the courage to follow Your leading, even when it's hard, and the strength to trust in Your timing. Surround them with Your grace and fill them with hope, knowing that You will make their paths straight. Let them feel Your love in every corner of their lives.

I lay this prayer humbly at your feet. In Christ's name, Amen.

don't ask me why, but me and my friend were talking about how carlos is going to be free from fraudrrari in less than 20 days and we ended up comparing him to the virgin mary (i swear it will make sense and we both grew up in christian italian families as atheists) and... how her given festivities actually add up with some of his important dates ??? buckle up!

‧˚

⭒ "Festa dell'Assunzione di Maria" — august 15 she was raised to eternal life without bodily death, and very close to it carlos announced he signed with williams.

⭒ "La Natività della Beata Vergine Maria" — she was born on september 8th, he was born on september 1st (BOTH VIRGOS)!

⭒ "L'Immacolata Concezione" — december 8th, "from the first moment of her conception, the Blessed Virgin Mary was, by the singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of Mankind, kept free from all stain of original sin."... and what happens on december 8th? his last race in fraudrrari, exactly.

she was the lightly brushed by melancholy blue print after all!
