#a whole sermon!

[cinamun]

All jokes aside. In light of recent events in real life this story is low key “triggering” for lack of better words. I’m not triggered per say. I’m more so tired, exhausted and disappointed by the real life display of toxic masculinity especially when it’s from our own men. Then to add salt to the wound certain black women subscribe to respectability politics and boldly say only certain types of women deserve protection. Bullshit straight out of white supremacy playbook.

Recent events have highlighted that there is an overwhelming majority of men. Black men in particular that will not help nor show an once of empathy towards black women. They think they deserved it and/or are just as scared as women are of men. They can’t handle rejection, some have even abused their own sisters but mother’s dare not call the police on them because “We don’t call police on black men”. They hate our independence and laugh at us when we are stalked, assaulted, harassed and threatened. The only time some care is if some type of ownership is involved (my wife, my daughter, my sister etc.) and the only way a lot of them think they can resolve conflict is with violence. As if de-escalation isn’t a thing.

Yet not even a full month ago black men and BLACK WOMEN once again came to the aid and protection of a black man getting jumped. He was a stranger. No one feared for their life, no one feared the consequences of the police but let it be a black woman. All she could have done was not be interested, minding her business and simply existing.

Indira owes Rahul NOT A GOT DAMN THING!!!! Yet here this ninja is with all the entitlement because she stop coming to his little AV club. FUCK RAHUL. He needs to go learn how handle rejection and get some therapy for his mommy and lack of daddy issues. There were so many other ways he could have tried to get her attention but nah it’s always violence with men. But let’s say none of the better ways were successful… SHE STILL OWES HIM NOTHING!!!!!!!

I hope you know I’m not at all ranting at you. I’m just using your story and the most recent post to yell out into the void. I have a black son and to this day I constantly talk to him about misogyny/misogynoir and my daughter. But especially my son.

I got nothing else!!!!!!

Tired of stories where the author worldbuilds a whole religion only to chicken out at the last moment by making the main character a skeptic. You mean to tell me that there’s all this richness in lore and culture, but you’ve trapped me with the one person in this society who doesn’t care about it? So bland. I could meet an agnostic easily enough by walking down the street, but your story is my one chance to hear the perspective of someone who follows whatever religion you’ve contrived. You made this whole world; convince me that your character really is from there.

Bestie I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this. Charles ain't getting that p2. Saudi was great, yes but there was a little bit of luck involved. We can't guarantee that in Abu Dhabi. We don't know if team orders will come into play for Ferrari. Charles' car is ancient. The Mclaren isn't. And Lando's probably gonna drive like his ass is on fire.

Ferrari still is a very uncertain team. Which is weird because they're one of the oldest. They should know what and how to do things by now. They're gonna prioritize the wcc rather than Charles' p2 I think.

Sorry to be such a negative person, but we can't always be delusional. We've got to touch grass and actually be rational here.

Charles is a great driver but everything has it's limitations. Giving people false irrational hope makes all of us look like idiots + breaks people's hearts when it doesn't happen.

First of all I take your hand and I say with the utmost sincerity: to be a Ferrari fan you have to build yourself on hope. I think a lot of people run to negativity as a way to cope with what remains uncertain circumstances but if you await races with negativity then negativity becomes how you spend your time. Will Ferrari win the WCC? Ferrari are historically better than McLaren in AD but yes it is a tall order. It is a small chance, but we have to take that chance and hope as best we can. What is Ferrari if not the team for the dreamers? Ferrari's entire mythos is built around hope, we literally have given our star driver a chosen one style narrative arc because we believe. We believe the impossible can be done.

Winning the WCC is a long shot, Charles Leclerc vice-champion only slightly less of a long shot, but we still have to dare to hope. I think Monza this year and Charles' impossible comeback drive that he won with proved that our team more than any other runs on prayers. We pray, we dream, and we hope.

For what it means is this, among other things: that for whatever reason God chose to make man as he is—limited and suffering and subject to sorrows and death—he had the honesty and courage to take his own medicine. Whatever game he is playing with his creation, he has kept his own rules and played fair. He can exact nothing from man that he has not exacted from himself. He has himself gone through the whole of human experience, from the trivial irritations of family life and the cramping restrictions of hard work and lack of money to the worst horrors of pain and humiliation, defeat, despair, and death. When he was a man, he played the man. He was born in poverty and died in disgrace and thought it well worthwhile.

Today I offer you those doodles based on sketches I found in my notebook

(*Pam voice* They're the same picture)

I know, it's scandalous. The Holy Communion, drinking His Blood, I know it's far deeper and more intimate and personal than a simple kiss. ("Closer than two twins in a womb," He once told me. "Closer than an unborn child and their mother. Closer than husband and wife in moments of their greatest unity.") But I once heard about a priest who told children the Eucharist was like a kiss from God and I'm anything but normal about it ever since.

Am I the only one who feels just a little uneasy when I look at the priest eating Jesus' body and drinking His blood during the mass? I cannot look away but I also feel like I shouldn't be looking. It's surreal. Something this intimate, this sacred, being done in front of everyone to witness? The mass really is a shameless thing.

You've heard of "this meeting could have been an email"

Now get ready for "this sermon, although good, could have been the first 1/3 of the sermon while the rest of it was either discussing other passages with a similar point or working out the point in greater detail, instead of like, basically just repeating yourself over and over"

Being raised Methodist on a website that was all raised Catholic is the equivalent of commenting “anyone here smoke weed” on a post that has nothing to do with you
