A Lord by any other Name. ___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: In this cartoon a young Jesus visits John the Baptist, His cousin, and the two greet each other with much joy.  They begin by shouting each other's names, then switch to parodying each other's names back and forth, coming up with a ridiculous list of aliases.  Their mothers, St. Elizabeth and the Blessed Virgin Mary, just watch the naming convention being held before them.

On your Mark...

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. The Gospel of Mark begins by talking about John the Baptist.  In a few quick verses, Mark says John was a desert-dweller who came to baptize people in preparation for the Messiah's ministry.  Mark also argues that John's coming was prophesied by Isaiah, who said there would come a voice crying out in the desert, a messenger sent ahead of the Lord, making straight His paths.  Some of John's followers assumed that John himself was the Messiah, but John told them, "One mightier than I is coming after me.  I am not worthy to loosen His sandals.  I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." 2. In this cartoon, the key verses about "going ahead of the Lord" and "making straight His paths" and "one mightier than I is coming" have been torn from their sacred context and crudely slapped into the new and exciting context of Jesus and John playing Tag as kids. 3. Jesus muses that John always runs in a straight line, making it easy to follow him, and quotes Isaiah as Mark did.  However, unlike Mark's quote, which implied John was preparing his followers for Jesus, Jesus's quote simply implies John is bad at Tag-tics -- that is, the tactics of Tag -- and has erred gravely in accepting Christ's challenge. 4. At the end, John screams in panic.  In Mark's Gospel, he says, "One mightier than I is coming after me," because he knows the true Messiah, Jesus, will be joining public ministry shortly, and he wants people to anticipate His coming.  In this cartoon, John says, "One mightier than I is coming after me," because his little Cousin has come after him with a speed that far exceeds his own, and when John is terrified, he screams like a maniac.

Harvey Milk understood intersectionality

… and now the Queer community is SPITTING on his legacy by attacking Queer Jews, and coalitioning with far-right religious extremists

Harvey Milk was a gay Jewish civil rights leader in San Francisco. He was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

On November 10, 1978 (10 months after being sworn into office), Harvey Milk was assassinated by a far-right religious extremist named Dan White.

In the months leading up to Harvey Milk's murder at the hands of a religious extremist, Harvey Milk gave his famous "Hope" speech. In his speech, he talks about the intersectional "Us's" who need to work together to overcome bigotry.

Now the Queer Community is SPITTING on Harvey Milk's legacy by coalitioning NOT with other "Us's", but instead with Hamas, the Houthis, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

These terrorist organizations are all FAR-RIGHT RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST CULTS.

These cults MURDER queer people.

These far-right religious extremist cults are a thousand times WORSE than far-right religious extremist cults like the Westboro Baptist Church that attack queer people across the US.

Hamas is a CULT that MURDERS queer Gazans. Hamas throws queer people off buildings, stones queer people to death, and shoots queer people in the head.

The Houthis are a CULT that just CRUCIFIED several gay men for being gay.

And the Islamic Republic of Iran is a CULT that TORTURES queer people to death and EXECUTES them for being gay. The Islamic Republic also MURDERS women for the "crime" of showing their hair in public, or even wearing their Hijab "wrong."

And these are the FAR-RIGHT RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST CULTS that the Queer Community is getting into bed with.

These are the FAR-RIGHT RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST CULTS that the Queer Community is uplifting.

And in doing so, the Queer Community is SPITTING on Harvey Milk's legacy.

Harvey Milk, a gay Jewish man, did not GIVE HIS LIFE FOR YOUR FREEDOMS so that you could turn around and attack Queer Jews.

You Hamasniks are PERVERTING the Queer Rights Movement.

You are acting as a TROJAN HORSE, allowing people aligned with far-right religious extremist cults into Queer Spaces.

Here is the text of Harvey Milk's "Hope" speech.

THIS is how you do intersectionality, you bigots.

LEARN FROM OUR QUEER ELDERS. AND WAKE THE FUCK UP.

"Somewhere in Des Moines or San Antonio there is a young gay person who all of a sudden realizes that he or she is gay; knows that if their parents find out they will be tossed out of the house, their classmates will taunt the child, and the Anita Bryant's and John Briggs' are doing their part on TV. "And that child has several options: staying in the closet, and suicide. And then one day that child might open the paper that says 'Homosexual elected in San Francisco' and there are two new options: the option is to go to California, or stay in San Antonio and fight. Two days after I was elected I got a phone call and the voice was quite young. It was from Altoona, Pennsylvania. And the person said 'Thanks'. And you've got to elect gay people; so that thousands upon thousands like that child know that there is hope for a better world; there is hope for a better tomorrow. Without hope, not only gays, but those who are blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the Us's; without hope the Us's give up. "I know that you can't live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. And you, and you, and you, and you have got to give them hope."

This is mostly just a reference for me, but if anyone else wants it you are free to it! Or please, add some more to the list, I would appreciate it!

Renaissance paintings that could, conceptually, be of Amadeo (AKA: from Venice, circa 1515-1550 of a young man with shoulder-ish length hair). Also known as I know nothing about art and thus, where to even start looking properly (I've decided it's museum collections).

Some, like Botticelli's Saint Sebastian while visually perfect, aren't included on this list because it falls too early.

A Concert, c. 1518-1520 by Giovanni Cariani / Virgin and Child with Saints John the Baptist and Joseph, c. 1525 by Vincenzo Catena

The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, c. 1518-1560 by Antonio Badile. Portrait d'homme vêtu de noir "Portrait of a man dressed in black", c. 1500-1550 by unknown (has been attributed to Pietro Perugino) / Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, c. 1525 by Giovanni Antonio Bazzi (Il Sodoma).

Under the cut is any that would work more for a book version.

Saint John the Baptist, c. 1520, by Gian Giacomo Caprotti / Madonna Adoring the Child, c. 1520 by Marco Basaiti / Bacchus, originally Saint John the Baptist, c. 151-1519 by Francesco Melzi.

I'm BOLD

constantine in india (I really enjoyed this fic)

donnie x US Marshall reader revenge fic (I wanna be that US Marshal and fuck Donnie in every possible way)

Awww, Scarlett! 😭😭 I have such a soft spot for young Constantine. I'm not crying you're crying! 😆 I look forward to working on this witchy fic for spooky season. For now here you go from ch 2:

When the two of you were tired of walking you retired in the shade with a banana leaf full of sliced papaya bought from a fruit wallah’s cart. When John fed you a piece from his fingertips you reckoned it was the sweetest thing you’d ever tasted.  “So where are you headed next?” he’d asked. “The Taj Mahal?” There was a bit of that snobbish more-traveler-than-thou tone in his question that made you want to roll your eyes.  “I’m going to Bodhgaya,” you’d told him, taking a bite of sunset-colored fruit. “I want to see the Bodhi Tree.” It was the descendent of the Pipal tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, surrounded by a temple complex. There were shrines from every Buddhist nation in the world in this one city, and you wanted to see them all.   “You’re going to Bihar by yourself?” he’d asked with narrowed eyes, clearly not liking the thought. Supposedly it was one of the more dangerous provinces for a traveler to visit–but anywhere could be, if you were an idiot about it.   “Yes,” you’d answered, so sure of yourself in your invincible youth.  “No,” he’d answered back, and that was how you’d got yourself a new travel companion. Or at least, that was the excuse he’d made at the time, to attach himself to your side. You hadn’t minded at all.

And as for 2 🤣🤣🤣 that would be wicked! I'd want to edge Donnie out of his mind though then just leave him handcuffed for someone embarrassing to find. Like...the Baptist preacher in town.😈 Your answer to this is here.
