#storing up

1 Corinthians 16:2 (NKJV) - On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

June 20, 2024 Verse Of The Day

[never-quite-buried]

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

ok look i love astarion with my whole soul and this might be an unpopular opinion but post-brain, i don’t think he’s fashionable. i think he knows how to dress well and likes wearing nice clothes but i really feel like 90% of the time when he’s at home he would just want to be comfortable. i think this man wears dad slippers and owns an ungodly amount of sweaters and comfy loungewear. furthermore i would like to put forward that the person who DOES put together a fucking Look every single day of his life is wyll fucking ravengard. in this essay i will

cw: perceived cheating

Famous Eddie Munson who is in a public long term relationship with normal guy Steve Harrington.

Eddie Munson who’s known to be a “Wife Guy.” He’s obsessed with Steve Harrington and it’s enduring.

That is, until a photo of him and a random pregnant woman makes rounds on Reddit and it goes viral.

Everyone is so disappointed to learn that Eddie is nowhere close to the wife guy he pretended to be.

And they let him know.

There’s nasty tweets sent to him. There’s comments all over his personal Instagram account. There’s even comments on the corroded coffin band account.

“He doesn’t deserve you.” “You fumbled so hard!” “Wow. Just wow!” “Fucking loser!” “So disappointed!! Burning my merch!!” “How DARE you sing ‘My Knight’ on stage and then pull this shit!!”

The worst part? The girl could pass as Steve’s sister. She’s got the same golden brown hair, tall, freckles.

Everyone is quick to take Steve’s side, but it’s hard to see how he’s taking it. His social accounts have always been locked. He doesn’t answer message requests. But fans continue to show support, in hopes that he sees.

“Sue his ass, Steve!” “Date me instead!” “We love a Single King!”

It’s like this for days across social media platforms. Everybody hating on Eddie and showing support for Steve. But there’s radio silence from the both of them — even corroded coffin hasn’t mentioned a thing.

That is —

Until Eddie posts a photo of him and Steve in the hospital, holding a baby in their arms. Both of them look so happy and in love — nothing like what the fans had expected to see.

The caption reads:

“Thanks @ RobinBuckley🔒 for doing all the hard work for @ StevieHarrington1🔒 and me.”

(Steve’s username is StevieHarrington1 because he got locked out of StevieHarrington and didn’t remember his password so he just started over)

You ever get a craving for a certain art medium and have to scramble for something to do with it? Yeah same. ANYWAY this took a week and it kicked my ass and when my dad walked in he said “Is that perspective collage? Do you hate yourself???” And tbh yeah I was a little insane for that but it was funnnnn and I think I nailed the vibe I was going for!

(Also I spent so long picking out the products on the shelves and I put a lot of thought into it yet you can’t see 80% of them but at least I know)
