Same age (29y)coworker in daycare is fundemantally christian and im getting mad every day a lil more via /r/atheism

Same age (29y)coworker in daycare is fundemantally christian, and im getting mad every day a lil more I got a new coworker, we work in groups of 10 children of age 1-3, in a non-religious daycare and I'm baffeld by his world views and comments. A boy grabs a doll, he laughs lightly and points out to me, that the boy grabbed a DOLL!!. He explains every behaivoir of the children through their gender 'boy A is so energized and loud, thats very typical for a boy.'. 'Shes so quiet, but shes a girl, thats normal.' 'Oh look a J, he is very sulky for a boy.' And he so proud of every boy that gets used to him and reasons it with stupid shit. 'W. came all by his own to me. He knows I'm also a male and can protect him'. 'F. is smiling at me now, she realized I'm a father figure to her.'. So, that are examples for old gender roles. Additionally he always wears sweaters with big font 'Jesus loves you', 'you need jesus in your life to be happy', 'only in jesus we can trust'. Etc.. every day its one of those sweaters. He talkes about his community every day, they went here and there at the weekend, a pastor for this city came, etc etc. Around easter we hid chocolade easter eggs for the kids in the playground, and he told me that this has nothing to do with easter,.(in a very judging way). He also told the children some stuff that is factually wrong and harmful, like he showed kids a worm and told them to cut it apart, then there will be 2 worms. They regenerate and live on as 2 individuals. Before a kid could act on the suggestion i stepped in and told them and him sternly that this is a myth and not true. You'll hurt the worm and he'll be lucky if he survives it, and even then only the part with its head survives, his lower part will die. He wouldn't belive me and told me the back will still move and live. I aked him, if he ever googled it and showed him proof within a minute. He just shrudd his shoulders and said, he learned it that way and hes confident that hes right. Grrrrr. And this is just an example. There is so much misinformation in his brain that he shares with us and with the kids! that is alarming. I guess his community disencourages to use the internet for research, i cannot phantom how else he could be so stern and clueless. Also with music, he told me there's only remixes nowadays. Only (insert this german christian sing and songwriter) has original music. I told him that this remix trend is maybe strong on the radio these days, but there are soooo many uncountable new bands, singer and songs out there from every genre. He just dismissed it and assured me, they are copying and using samples form old songs, like that one!(points to the air, radio was playing a remix of "bailando". Hes with us 5 weeks now and at first i only new from his application that his hobbies involve bible reading , and i got aware of his sweaters. But as more i interact with him, i see that this Christian mentality is ingrained in every action hes doing. Its scary. I did not ask my boss yet, how to handle that, because i didn't want to be an ass, but its getting more and more clear that i dont want this for the kids. Maybe you can help me with my first steps? Would asking my boss about general religious afflictions within the workplace a good start? Maybe she can tell me the rules for how much of our own personal belief we are allowed to display at work. We also have a muslim coworker that wears a hijab, but she never mentions allah or Mohammed or talks genderdivided about or with the kids. So i i just point out to his font sweaters, maybe it will fall into the clothes are okay, look at the muslim, i can't forbid her to wear a hijab, otherwise she will not able to work here at all. Maybe some insight, or just your opinion or whatever, I'd appreachiate it. Submitted April 13, 2024 at 11:52AM by 100SacredThoughts (From Reddit https://ift.tt/PSof5WR)

on the right is zizek im just gonna copy past this bigass discord message i just sent about him because i loveeee him blorbo from my brain

Zizek (he/they/it) is my fucked up thang i love them so much. They are canonically scary as all hell. If I remember right it has like a +12 to intimidate checks, hes about 8ish feet tall? He has a dire bat familiar that they named Dog, and ate a dudes finger once! They grew up in a loving family but felt like an outcast despite NOT being one (the species it is a part of are very welcoming because of their history) and he left at around 12 years old. he is NOT that old despite them living thousands of years (about 25? i dont have the character sheet on hand unfortunately). They were in a relationship with a chromatic dragon who was disguised as an orc (literally something we rolled for using the 3.5 rulebook) who disappeared one day and Zizek has been deeply bitter and weird since!

im doing the same with circe

SHE IS A LEVEL 13 druid in dnd 3.5 meaning she her average damage output is in the high 30s. Which is fucked. Last session i had with her she hit an undead bird with a lighting bolt and it just exploded. She turned a guy into a skeleton wiht one spell. She is ANOTHER druid < 3 shes so funny. She is kind of shy but then you put her in a fight and everyone is immediately "Jesus fucking christ what the hell is that" her family was infected by this like disease, the ashen affliction, which essentially turns people into like zombies, its curable and thats what shes trying to seek right now because its uh. hard to manufacture a vaccine/medicine when youre living in a fantasy setting

i LOVE That these two Beafts are the same species. and they're both druids. when you. when youre a girl vs when you're a thang on purpose

kyle ron: librarian edition

there was an entire kylux plot to this where hux was a sudden, wealthy, pretentious benefactor to ben’s busted-ass community library (his baby which he would kill for). the microfiche is an important part of the supporting cast. it was maximum extra.

*sucks in breath*

BUT THATS NEVER SEEING THE LIGHT OF DAY SO HERE’S JUST A SNIPPET.

“Really?” Ben sighed, passing a misplaced copy of A Cry of Players, which sat carelessly thrown, face-down, atop his much beloved microfiche machine.

He backtracked to snatch it, narrowing his dark eyes as he inspected the pages for any damage. Apparently satisfied with its condition, he added it to the top of the stack he had already been carrying. Ordinarily, he would have used his little cart for a task such as this (collecting lost books), but the Wamboldt boys had stolen it last month and put it very much out of commission doing ollies over it in the parking lot. No matter how much epoxy Ben applied, the wheels just wouldn’t stay on anymore.

Ben sometimes wished for the Wamboldt boys to be kidnapped by one of those terrifying European folklore monsters. No specific one because they are pretty much all sufficiently nightmarish. At the very least, someone could summon a Krampus to slap their shit around with some birch branches.

Of course, daydreams wouldn’t bring back his cart so, for now, he carried the books.   

It was the coldest part of the year in his small town, Ben the librarian was never seen without his signature, very-comfy, knit sweaters. He preferred calm earth tones, naturally, for his cozy attire. It was just about the only soft thing about him.

Speaking of being a prickly bastard.

“Barbara. Look at me, Barbara.”

Ben stopped his brisk pace to address an elderly woman copying recipes from a cookbook onto index cards at a glacial pace. Everything - especially her hands - seemed to rattle and shake with her age, like there was an extremely lively skeleton trying to escape from inside of her.

“Jesus, Ben.” She adjusted her tiny bifocals. “Scared me,” she said, mumbling even more curses in a tone most crotchety.

“If I find that cookbook in the Travel section again, Barbara, I’m going to go to your house and set your shed on fire,” his perpetually intense gaze didn’t relent. He could hear the flutter of her floral print muumuu and the shuffling of her slippered feet beneath the table.

Clearly unphased, Babs didn’t take her eyes off her book and only dryly replied: “You need therapy, kid.”

For a rare moment, Ben smiled, just barely showing his crooked teeth but it was gone in a flash. He reached into the pocket of his warm, pumpkin colored corduroys.

“More cards,” he said plainly, showing her the index cards before setting them down next to her.

“Good lookin’ out,” she murmured. And that was just about as sweet as Barbara could be. Maybe that's why they got along so famously.

Satisfied, he stalked off, winding through the tight, dusty corridors of shelves. He’d already checked the reference section, of course, but sometimes he did a second tour just for the smell.

The smell of paper was his anti-drug. Useful, as life in a town as small as his could drive anyone to the hard stuff.

His curiosity got the best of him as he finally approached the main counter. With a heave, he set the sizable stack of misplaced books onto the counter and reached for A Cry of Players. Who could possibly have selected this for reading recently? Maybe there was a stamp on the card with a date from this decade.

Ben flipped it open to reveal the yellowing inner cover and scowled with a glare fit to set fire to the book.

The Dick Doodler struck again. This classic play had been utterly defaced with a crudely drawn phallus. How undignified a state for such a piece of drama to be in. It was one thing when they victimized the Dan Brown novels, but this- this was just sick.

He wanted to roar and raise hell but he was in a library- his library, for heaven’s sake - so he settled for breathing deeply through his rapidly flaring nostrils and making gnarled claws out of his own hands like he was strangling those damn Wamboldt brats (his main suspects) himself. His mouth twisted into an unspeakably hideous expression of pure hatred and his eyes opened a little too wide.

“Pardon,” came a hesitant voice. “I was just looking for the, uh, proprietor.” The last word was enunciated with clear undertones of doubt.

Ben’s eye twitched. Once. Twice.

He took a deep breath and turned to fully face the visitor. The towering librarian attempted to do away with his terrible visage but it probably wasn’t working wonders for him.

Before him stood a crisply dressed man with an icy air. He raised an arch and starkly strawberry blonde eyebrow at the display, disgust playing ever so faintly on the down-turned corners of his mouth. One didn’t need to be a bloodhound to smell the old money on this guy.

Tourist, thought he in a manner most uncharitable.

“Yes,” the scary book procurer confirmed slowly and through gritted teeth which he couldn’t seem to loosen. “I. Am. He.”

This was Ben Solo playing it cool.

“I see,” replied the man indifferently, becoming momentarily distracted with a spot of dust on the counter, which he swiped at with delicately prodding fingers, swathed in obnoxiously expensive looking leather gloves. No doubt they were lined with some equally pretentious fur for warmth.

Baby seal, perhaps? Endangered Peruvian Tree Skunk?

“Well,” he began, blonde lashes fluttering as he resolved to turning his attention back to a deranged looking Ben, “I was looking for a little diversion on my visit here. I was told I could trust your recommendation by the concierge- I’m staying at the Old Mill, you see. Do you know of it?”

“Do I know of the only hotel in town?” Ben asked, laying the sarcasm on thick. Yup. Tourist alright. As if he needed any more confirmation. His accent stuck out like a drunk nun at a christening.

Although, big ups to Roger at the Mill for complimenting Ben on his book-selection skills. Who knew he had any taste considering his choice to make his hotel bar clown themed. It almost made big Solo blush.

The fancy-pants ginger sniffed, pressing his lips into a thin line and raising his eyebrows.

“Right, well, I’m partial to Medieval philosophy lately-”

“Follow me,” Ben replied gruffly, turning on his heel before Tourist could get another word in.

If he wore a cape, he would have flourished it to great dramatic effect.

my ‘bad blood’

there is a fascinating iterview with Carl jung where he sepaks about Hitler; upon readign it i understood some thigns about myself; [link]

i look like hitler, so does my grandmother on the father’s side, and her son - my biological ‘dad’, thus we must have a connection;

Jung explained soemthign imprtant about adolf hitler - he was a witchdoctod, from the african tradition of witchcraft; that is  a very powerful voodo traditiona dn i thik goes back to ancient egypt times, too; but it’s dark still for me and i don’t realize the full thing for now; the fact is that its awitchcraft absed on fear,a nd it is worse even than the black witchcraft in europe during the middle ages - 

now that is where my mother’s bloodline is - i asoociate her fatehr with the nrose diety ragnar, and with european witches, but also with the people who fought witches by torturing them and buring them, and they themselves came from a bckground of religious self-torture - they were fanatics; jut like the diety ragnar is;

hitler was not just tht though; actual practical amgic , i read in one article somewhere, came with the crusaders from the lands of the middle east - all the alternative teachings that were abundant there i  amny sects and cryptic practises, some fo which we now can call demonic; they were ased on fear; dark magic, inherently;

the witchdoctors that hitler’s brainw as connected with came from taht dark tradition, in africa; and my parents on the side of my ‘father’ are turkish indescent and they have taht strong persian /arabic vibe; but in a not always good sense, unfortunately; they fer lack and thus they become selfisha nd brutal, too materialistic and demanding of abundance in abusive ways, even gross, pervrted sexually ways - my grandmother was a pedophile and she sued to touch me and my sister as small girls and we developed insane brainfuck ebcause fo that;

there is mroe to it, unfortunately but it’s hard to formulate for now;

so jung spoke of hitler as a doll, a voodoo object; he was not a sensible epros, but possessed, especially in the end; my father strikingly resembles hi m and it is very undertsandible why my mother liked himbecause she carries a desire for vengance and love for nazi order in ehrself; she loves germanya nd how everything is organzied disciplined and strict there; which for me is torture and isanity when it comes to my subconsious; but that might e just my turkish descent’s flaw; i am gonna explore that i n later posts; i amcertain it must be this;

because actually germanic structure of society and manners of living are related directly to the norse gods system, which ie xplored too at one point; and so do amy other peopel; so ti is a virtuous and humanistic system, not merely brutal and agry; 

my take on it comes from MY INNEE SHADOW which is  hatred of lack fo abundance3; i love gold flowing from my shower when i am showering, if i have to put it in words; in truth i feel msierable fi im nto in the warmth of the desert and eating freshly picked fruit by the peopel who work for me - my bloodline is related to the pharaohs, and to cleopatra... so its peopel fo high status and powerful positions in society; nothing to match with my other familiar’s village way fo life and the cozyness of the woods, the cbin, the fireplace, the woolen clothes and the home; we are leaders and rulers and love glory; just love it; we are capable fo hanling muc stress and we are actually immortal; so that shadow aint taht abd either;

but black magic ia frica sprung in places where peopel lived in mysery so there sia  lto fo aggression there to this day, as you very well know - i am not well educated on tribal peopela nd their wys of though; i am always surrounded by civillized people, and civilized criminala ctivity - yakuza, gangs, drug lords, dictators, spies, agents, police and military; but never brutality of the lower vibrational level - people whoa re animalistic and they dont realize their diviity within;

i dont judge that, i am clarifying wher is atnd in the world we are living in; to me such peopel are scary ebcause they refuse the light of God;

i love my cleopatra roots, they ar really wise and loving, playful and lusty; tjhis was her word up there; bless her heart! she was a beutiful woman;

s for the egyptin pharaohs, they are said to have been seeded by the starpeopel themselves, the gods, tahts why they carried divinity in the dna of normal humansa nd spread it across the centuries of their rule, mating with many and ruliung in the lands of the original human beings - africa; they were very feared and hated, especially by those who woudl later on become dark wizards in africa, dark voodoo practitioners and the brain-masters behind the puppet hitler; they hate humanity in many levels, tehy hate civillied humanity anmd their power is brute force; amny of todays africna dictators have that encoding in them; i am writing this to spread awareness on the subject ebcause my cleopatra self is still a politican and i cant escape my need for being powerful player that helps govern the outcomes of the plitical stategies and happenings that amke up our near futures; i decide to do that in a soft manner, nto as a politician, but s an inspirational perso, in art, in real-life stories i share and have suffered slongside many of te others slaves of today’s society and the capitallistic structure that is not functioning for the well being fo the people but fuelling fearful and greedy dictators worldwide, insetad of terating the wounds of the past, and present, and takign care fort the future of the nature and environment of this earth; it could have been the other way around thus i am using my psychic and goddly abilities to brainfuck the ill-minded leaders and to insipre ordinary folk to be more proslerous, joyous and bold in their ways of viewing and experiencing life and reality;

my leadership is warm and heartful; i am cleoptra

*i even look like leonor varela and we share the same name lol

[idk if tahtw as achanneling right now but i hve ahd those before too, so dont take the words eprosnally, but like a energy that i amc hannelling but also repect and associate with myself somehow, wich i as the way for me to expand - taking in stuff and finding comparisons between me and them or if i revere somebody ro soemthuing - go out of my ways to enact their ways and learn new startegies fo thinking about life and operating in it - as happened with the boy i am loving from 5 years now ; i wanted to copy every bit of him and paste it into my Self and tehe merging oif the two is a compelx and very eautiful rpocess full of itegration, sorrow and painfuless;

but cleopatra herself was amazing; she is a ebodiment of the goddess ISIS, occording to one article - JESUS; thats a very ineterstign tale as well:

she was a devotee to the goddess isis and the last pharaoh of egypt and the turns of events in the world lead her to reincarnate in the form of Jesus; her last lover - Mark nathony was like a small boy and although the romance was passionate, she was liek a mother to him too; there the mary/jesus/mary magdalene separation was created, into new symbols that comprise the same characters and had been played out amongst humans ever since that era - the mary/jesus/mary magdalene archetypes are mcuh more ‘common’, ordinary - a lot more people, poor people, not pharaohs and clergy, or goddesses/gids, can find their selves in those archetypes, and thus grow their hearts strong and loving for their divvinity, embracing at the smae tiemtheir humanity;

it is interestign now to delve into the aspects of isis/cleopatra/mark anthony and gender roles, because those are also improtant aspects of the separation the christian order; cleopatra is a god - nor male, neither female; but jeus has gender preferences; so he is not god, but a human;

christ consciousness is a mass consciousness ascencion project; aimed at elevating the entire humanity to God; and cleopatra /isi is the source of it; but keep ti a secret ;)

i’ll stop here for now

GODDDD FARFLY THIS KICKS SO MUCH BUTT!!!! THIS IS SPECTACULAR. the detail, the smoothness, the intricacies of the shading and movement. this is STELLAR work and i hope you’re proud!

that said jesus christ you did all those tridents by free transform tool? ON ONES? i hope at the very least you animated one and then copied and pasted them and you didn’t individually animate by hand all of them. i assume you did, since it seems to me they match up in sync perfectly? anyway tweens could of done that in like, 5 seconds. and you could experimented with which motion path to use and easily have seen which would of looked best for the scenario. i don’t say this to diss your efforts -it looks splendid as is, but this is more of a “work smarter not harder” thing as i mentioned before.

https://greensock.com/ease-visualizer

is a GREAT resource for learning animation curves and their motions. there’s different motion paths, and then you pick if its an ease in, ease out , or ease in/out. experiment with the site and using them in an animation program. you’ll see some wild results instantly.

tweening is just a tool to make your life easier, but it also teaches you to think of movement in that way. because of the motion paths, you can see how the object moves in relation to the time and space as you had coordinated with the curve graph. super useful -different movements will give a very different feel to the animation. if you don’t use curves, the tween will feel robotic. instinctively i’m sure you’ll gravitate to some of these curve movements without knowing them by name -but by applying new ones and trying them out, you can improve what you already knew and learn different methods! :> animation and art is all about learning and growing. its not so scary once you get over the barrier of diving into the unknown in the first place.

and back to the 1s vs. 2s. like, i’m probably the LAST person to talk about this because again, i’m cheap and loose with my animation so i don’t bother with tweens much cause clip studio frustrates me in how its limited to per clip when i’m used to adobe animate where i can have as many as i want in a layer. thats more so me being a whiny baby not wanting to adapt to a different program than anything else asdklfasd. tweens are your friends, i should use them more. anyway BACK to the point alsdfjasdf i don’t tween enough AND i am still very much still learning timing and spacing. its something i really lack in experience with just purely because i work in comics. its easy to do time in that because its a static medium, panel borders and wording and the flow of the art directs the time naturally and the reader does half the work. its not the same with animation.

anyway again, things that stand out are like the cape blowing. its smooth as butter and looks great, but i feel some of the shapes of the flowing cape could of been slowed compared to others (mixing the in and outs, if you will) to create more visual interest in the timing. this is extremely subjective and i could be talking out of my butt rn. but it feels like it goes by too quickly, even for something meant to go by quick. it doesn’t read as well to the brain.

asdfjasldf sorry i really am NOT skilled enough to be teaching animation but at least i’ve tried. All i really can say is: you’re incredibly talented and skilled, i hope you continue and branch more out to different frame rates and use the website i linked. i know you’re just going to continue to grow and get better and better. i wish you the best!! you’re going to- and already are, doing so great

What frame rate is your animation set to? I usually animate at 24 Fps on the 1s because I like pain.

strongly wouldn't recommend that tbh!!! asdfklasdfl not even JUSt in a work ethic sense, (work smarter not harder, animation is fuckin hard enough please don't sacrifice your health ): speaking from animator to animator please take care and take "short cuts" if it helps your hand and work load! your health comes first) i don't think it looks great anyway.

I WAS going to show a reference of over-animating on 1s can turn out bad by showing John K's simpsons gag but 1) disney won't show it online 2) John K is a p*dophile shithead and honestly even by showing how his art fuckin sucks isn't worth disgracing your eyeballs by seeing it. hopefully i can think of another example of how 1s can hurt a work because it suffers timing and overworking the animator. i don't know how much you know about animation (i'm a life long fan of animation and granted i'm not the Most Smart about it I do know enough to talk about it with a little credibility.) and maybe you're fully aware and are this is just your preferred style, than by all means i'll shut up lmao. whatever works for you is awesome! no one should tell someone what is and isn't good for art. i think there's more draw backs to using 1s but i also don't bother with the effort of doing that often enough to get a good feel of how that can be good on a personal level.

like. honestly the biggest thing to know about frame rate is that is EXTREMELY circumstantial. 1s CAN look nice but they're so much more work to keep consistent (proportion, spacing, everything) and do things that a 2 frame rate could do better and faster and easier. that said, there's some movements that wouldn't work on 2s, so like i said, very circumstantial. really depends on context, style, artistry, and intent. and again, if it works for your project and styling, than more power to you. godspeed, i'm sure it's frickin incredible because you got the passion to make animation. that alone is something to applaud for and i'm rooting for you.

i'm a huge hypocrite btw! i'm an incredibly cheap and quick when it comes to animation! kinda a "quantity" over quality kinda thing for me, i got a sense i need to get the job done so i'm not going to obsess over frame rate and usually keep to 8 frames per second. the animation is not smooth like butter but considering i'm doing most of the animation* its fine! i'm not being paid. i'm getting my work done.

*(the UT anniversary i'm working on is helped by (secret and potentially another secret person) and @meltyfuture who's doing bgs, some boarding and animated one of the final sequences. otherwise, the majority of the animation is just me and my dumb butt)

8 frames is done out of necessity. i could NOT do this project if it wasn't on the slowest animation setting possible in clip studio paint. it gives the animation a sort of charm i think, with how "limited" it is, you really don't get bogged down by professionalism and get just raw, pure animation that's just an elevated sketch LOL. i josh but i'm kinda serious, i think its serviceable at it’s worst and really fun at best! working quick means i can get draw the expressions fast and loose, letting the inner actor in me shine.

i'd show examples but i'm not spoiling it askldfjasdf you'll have to wait until tomorrow! assuming my computer doesn't burst into flames or i brake my hand. only god can stop me at this point. i'll draw with broken fingers i don't care.
