Lectionary Readings for Today:

Phoebe, Deacon

The Collect:

Rite I: Eternal God, who didst raise up Phoebe as a deacon in thy church and minister of thy Gospel; Grant unto us the same grace, that aided by her prayers and example, we too may take the Gospel unto the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Rite II: Eternal God, who raised up Phoebe as a deacon in your church and minister of your Gospel; Grant us that same grace that, assisted by her prayers and example, we too may take the Gospel to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

First Lesson: Romans 16:1–7

1I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church at Cenchreae, 2so that you may welcome her in the Lord as is fitting for the saints, and help her in whatever she may require from you, for she has been a benefactor of many and of myself as well.

3Greet Prisca and Aquila, who work with me in Christ Jesus, 4and who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. 5Greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert in Asia for Christ. 6Greet Mary, who has worked very hard among you. 7Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives who were in prison with me; they are prominent among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.

Psalm: Psalm 119:33–40

33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, *        and I shall keep it to the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; *        I shall keep it with all my heart. 35 Make me go in the path of your commandments, *        for that is my desire. 36 Incline my heart to your decrees *        and not to unjust gain. 37 Turn my eyes from watching what is worthless; *        give me life in your ways. 38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, *        which you make to those who fear you. 39 Turn away the reproach which I dread, *        because your judgments are good. 40 Behold, I long for your commandments; *        in your righteousness preserve my life.

Gospel: Luke 22:24–27

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 But he said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

the way I forgot to post this here for a week...oops

2024 was weird! I was honestly just trying to not lose my entire mind to life stuff, and to keep enjoying art no matter what I drew. which was mostly cala and hien lmao but it's fine, I had fun.

I truly appreciate everyone who supported my art in any way, whether that was with comms or nice comments or unhinged tags 💜 I'm hoping to do more narrative illustrations, improve my gestures and mess around with my style more this year!

Ohh I understand why they're doing Grand Festival now (3 years after the release of the game)

[bringerofdarkness-fancomic]

NOTICE: OUT OF RESPECT FOR A CERTAIN EVENT, BRINGER OF DARKNESS WILL NOT BE POSTING BETWEEN AUGUST 11-18.

THIS MEANS THE COMIC WILL NOT BE UPDATING NEXT FRIDAY.

In the long run, having to push each page scheduled back by one Friday is worth it.

So instead of on August 16th like originally planned, Page 5 will now be released on August 23rd.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, and for enjoying the comic so far! :D

finding herself

Written for day 3. attic of @sapphic-september!

Fandom: Badehotellet | Pairing: onesided Trine/Lily | Rating: G | Tags: spoilers for season 10 (minor), angst, drabble, lesbian awakening, coming of age.

Also on AO3!

~

That summer in the attic of the Seaside Hotel is the best and worst of Trine’s life.

The reason for both is Lily. Bubbly and lively Lily, who is so pretty and makes Trine feel things she shouldn’t. She’s tried denying that part of herself, the part that looks at girls like a boy would.

But she can’t be sorry for it, as that summer she finds herself, even if she doesn’t find what she’s looking for with Lily. She still has the memory of smiles and laughter.

She will find love, now she knows where to look for it.

fine I'll do it I'll make an about me post (this sounds begrudging but I actually am excited to do so)

anyway hi! my name's kili (yes like the dwarf in the hobbit) and uh here's some stuff about me that's not in my blog description

edit: yeah I closed asks as of 12/30. I got not one but three ad asks from a "free" "vpn" "provider" in one week alone and it freaked me out. sorry for the inconvenience, I'll put them back eventually. when I remember. if you want to talk to me you can message me though! I don't mind at all

I like comics! I like them a lot. despite the size discrepancy between my batfamily posting and my marvel posting at this point in time I'm actually a way bigger marvel fan than dc fan (just because dc's continuity mess is a lot for my stickler-for-cohesiveness brain to handle)

I also like superheroes! one of these first two points may be a side effect of the other.

I do read comics! I know a lot of marvel and dc fans don't (which is fine! by the way) but yeah I do so generally speaking I tend to be talking about those more. also it's been my special interest for like eightplus years so I know a lot. sorry in advance.

I am a proud member of the "charles xavier sucks" club. the man should not be trusted with anyone's children. ever. or adults. or even like plants. just put him in a little cardboard box with a plastic cactus. he'll be fine.

I really enjoy storytelling, both doing it myself and analyzing how other people do it. the second thing is much easier to do than the first but I try my best! (I'm black_banners_raised on ao3, by the way)

I have my own rules for capitalization and they probably seem arbitrary, but in general I tend to not capitalize unless I'm more or less writing an essay. if you're ever confused by my tone please ask! I don't mind clarifying.

I also really really like music and I probably won't post about it much but I have playlists for a lot of stories/characters and I love thinking about sound and lyrics and all of that. it's just another form of storytelling! and it's such a fun form too.

I work in a church! my job is actually to help make it more progressive and accessible to people who are not old and white and it's going well I think (as of now my biggest accomplishment is a summer camp inclusive to disabled and neurodivergent campers, but I'm working on single-use gender neutral bathrooms!)

I like parentheses (this is probably obvious)

I'm not a great artist but I absolutely love fanart! (people who can draw have my eternal admiration)

I'll probably think of other things and add them later

and yeah that's me! hi it's nice to meet you

Sept 2 - went digging around in storage boxes and found the couple decades old remains of my yarn stash; not much of one since I was mostly an indifferent and infrequent crocheter back then. Basically just had three types of yarn; a partial ball of probably -Bernat-acrylic that was leftover from making a baby blanket and trimming a purchased chenille baby blanket for the oldest nibling 20+ years ago, an unfinished baby blanket of Bernat Cottontot yarn which I've now frogged to make a fancier baby blanket out of, and a couple balls of Bernat Baby Boucle that I'd meant to make a scarf out of but barely started on. All except that first mentioned have now been wound into cakes.

For supper I did a sauce based on oven roasted fresh garden tomatoes to serve with pasta and meatballs.

Sept 3 - not much done today. For supper I made barley salad to have with hamburgers.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT IN GAZA

isr*el has finally "agreed" to a ceasefire agreement. we'll see whether they'll actually abide by the terms, as history shows that the general trend of behaviour is that they agree and then continue to escalate and terrorise innocents in Gaza and Lebanon. but in this moment i'd like to share a few community funds. as well as donating to escape funds, please consider donating to these groups that shoulder the burden of rebuilding gaza's community.

1. The Sameer Project

provides shelter and support to high risk families, special needs children and adults and those with war injuries + chronic diseases.

--

2. Translating Falasteen x Sameer Project collaboration

provides food, water, diapers, milk and medical aid in support of various families in Gaza. These funds help continue to keep this project afloat and capable of providing for the families who depend on them.

--

3. The Zaynab Project

focused on providing food, water, cash aid, children's mental support and orphan sponsorship. They distribute winter clothing, hygiene kits, and free medical attention.

--

4. Merciful Hands Doctors

a donations-based clinic started by a Palestinian doctor living in Gaza in Sept 2024 to provide free medical attention those who need it.

"California has approved a bill to help address the dark side effects of the externally glitzy fast-fashion sector, putting the onus on manufacturers to implement repair and recycling programs. 

According to CalMatters' Digital Democracy project, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the Responsible Textile Recovery Act of 2024 on Sept. 28, more than a year after the bill began making its way through the state legislature. 

The act seeks to address the growing problem of waste from the fashion industry. CalMatters notes in its analysis that the Golden State tossed more than 1.3 million tons of textiles in 2018. 

As it stands, the state ships 45% of the items that are donated overseas, which contributes to environmental pollution, and once there, much of it still ends up in landfills, where it produces potent heat-trapping gases such as methane. 

In Ghana, for example, which has seen its beaches polluted by fast-fashion waste, 40% of the 15 million garments received each week are discarded. All in all, despite the fact that 95% of California's materials are recyclable, only 15% of clothing and textiles are reused. 

Democratic state senator Josh Newman, the bill's sponsor, told the Guardian that these concerning figures inspired him to take action.   

"We worked really hard to consult with and eventually to align all of the stakeholders in the life cycle of textiles so that at the end there was no opposition," he explained. "That's an immensely hard thing to do when you consider the magnitude of the problem and all of the very different interests."

According to the Guardian, the program is expected to go into effect in 2028, with its numerous backers anticipating it could create as many as 1,000 jobs in the Golden State. 

Details are still being hammered out. However, garment manufacturers who aren't already participating in eco-friendly programs will have incentives to adopt greener practices, with recycling collection sites and mail-back programs among the possibilities.  

And while some have worried that small businesses and mid-sized brands could be disproportionately impacted by the legislation and end up passing on the prices to consumers, Newman estimates that the cost should be less than 10 cents per garment or textile."

“In my experience…” Prince Zuko moved closer to Katara. “Bad company is the only kind worth falling into.”

A fun moment from a future chapter of The Lotus Villa, which is one of many fics out now for this year's Zutara Big Bang fan event!
