Bath Abbey (Explore) by Roy Llowarch Via Flickr: Bath Abbey is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_Abbey

To the musician Doechii, I am kind of sorry that I pronounce your name as "Douchi", like the bean.

I don't use Spotify, but here's my most played song of the year.

last year when i posted this people melted down and went out of their way to misinterpret the purpose of this exercise and just say insane racist shit; the goal is to get you to reflect on whether or not you engage with black music and black art and artists, and if you seem to avoid doing so, to ask yourself why that is

if you would like, feel free to share the song/artist in the tags to share recs! always easier to begin or continue diversifying your listening habits with suggestions :)

Arceus gave us the infinite capacity for invention so we could build cars and bridges, so we could travel without needing to fly. I don't want to be rude but you should read scripture before you lecture people.

I have and nowhere does it condemn flying. It condemns hubris. You're the one who decided flying is hubris.

Dogwood and Azalea festival in Charleston MO

Mother’s Day is coming up soon! When mom, Lori Disque said she wanted to go on a trip I found a festival that fit the bill! My friend Annie Jansen told me about the Dogwood and Azalea festival when I told her of my longing to see flowers. Only four hours from home, it was a win. My sister Debbie Salisbury and I planned our trip. Then away we went. The three of us in Charleston. Arts and Craft…

hey so ftr i am muslim, and i'd like to add that even giving that trait to n!isaac in particular is hella questionable imo if game!Isaac's whole deal is that he is so fully, mindlessly devoted to dracula's cause that he's willing to commit genocide on his lord's behalf, no questions asked, and because they do mostly keep that characterization with him in the show's version, once you tack on the 'muslim' trait it gets problematic, fast. it basically amounts to a really stereotypical post-9/11 islamophobic caricature of all muslims being war-mongering jihadists, so blinded by and justifying atrocities committed with 'faith'. and the fact that they also kept n!isaac as being especially sadistic doesn't help with the comparisons to the taliban or ISIS - if they were trying to be clever and expand from "CHURH BAD" to "ALL RELIGION BAD" message, they well and truly fucked it up and n!Isaac ends up being terrible representation

like, i used to be just kinda "meh" towards n!Isaac in that he's not really as impactful as the original Hector and Isaac's characters since he has such a middling stance and really not much on-screen development to even get to that point, but after connecting these dots i actively dislike him. just...what the hell was Netflix thinking??

Thank you for your input! I don't want to speak on behalf of others so I appreciate your insight :)

Another thing is that it gets emphasized in the mangas that Hector and Isaac are heathens? Blasphemers? They create life which is literally copying God's work?? Hector in the MF manga goes for a whole page about his disillusionment with God:

And Isaac in the PtR manga sarcastically reassures Hector that all the people they've killed "will go to Heaven soon", with an implied "we won't".

They're both sinners, and they're aware of it. Hector feels guilty about it, Isaac couldn't care less because Dracula comes above all else. Neither of them have a reason to believe in any religion - not even Hector regains his faith in God, even after falling in love with the religious Rosaly.

Sure, this is all about the Christian God, but I doubt N!Isaac would be treated any better by other Muslims of the time, would he? He's still a necromancer. He's still sinning left and right. Why would he believe in Mohammed's teachings, profess his faith with pride, and still accept to devote himself to a monster hellbent on killing innocents? This kind of deep seated hypocrisy needs care to be explored!

Anyway... yes, you make a good point. As I said, in a vacuum a Muslim anti-villain would be an interesting concept, especially since Christians are not afforded the same intended complexity. As it was done in NFCV, a Muslim villain who twists his Prophet's teachings to justify his self-imposed extremist mission of eradicating human life to "purify the world" is... yikes. Actually, now this quote feels particularly gross:

"Dracula will bring a pure world into being. I believe that. I believe him. I want, of all things, a pure world. A clean world. Where there is only loyalty and only love."

Yeahhhh I can see why he comes across as a jihadist. ew.

Now, sure, he allegedly grows from this, he eventually decides that life is worth living and he'd rather leave humans alone. But it doesn't help that his religion is mostly brought at the forefront of his character in S3, when he's in "humanity sucks" mode, but in S4 there's no mention of his faith.

Okay so this is Sean Feucht (ex-Bethelite, of the famous covid worship tour) leading worship in the US Capitol Building.

This kind of shit scares me to death. Should the US be a Christian country? Should any country be a Christian country?

Should all countries have separation of churh and state? (this is the right answer btw)

WHY is this kind of shit okay????????? WHO approved this?.?????

churh

LITERALLY so fucking true

[cacaitos]

rich churh ppl are so boring bc they’re neither disenfranchised enough to remember what their job is relative to a poor and as in need as they are/were community or isolated and understimulated enough to be mentally ill messy in a new fascinating way.

Headcanon that Lilly was also raised a choir kid ‘cause to me there is no damn way deborah didnt make her join the churh choir. She’s farily well-known at the church too bc of that

Yes. She was actually. Of course Deborah made her join the church choir. And the school choir.

But that also created a theater kid out of lilly
