Jesus is my older brother, not my dad.
other christians don't seem to feel the same?
am i missing something where he insists on such a thing except perhaps with actual little children?
#christianity#tumblrstake#Quakers#i just want to know what y'all think#progressive christianity#some christians see themselves as his children#but again most chrsitians are sippin trinity juice so the Father is the Son? egro Jesus can be Dad#i guess i'm not a true monotheist bc if Jesus is a child of God and told his disciples to call him friend. he is my peer#Jesus is my peer - big brother - mentor - friend#God the creator is my Mother/Father/Parent(s) as well as Jesus'#Jesus and I are both children of God and Jesus is my teacher/my respected older brother/ my friend#i think the Holy Spirit is what generally moves around among humans and through humans. experiencing God through others.#also an internal prompting on what direction to take (which typically needs to undergo through discernment) but is sometimes an act rn thing#hence the gift of the Holy Spirit being gifted to us#but now i'm getting theological in the tags#did i mention that all of this is through my christian lense and a muslim could have a different perception and be just as valid#and thats on different ways people see the Divine and how the Divine presents Godself/selves to different people#i know this because Heavenly Mother was at my conversion experience. she offered an invitation - an embrace#and i took it immediately a wept#and i think that presentation was intentional bc i may not have/wouldn't have reacted the same way to Heavenly Father#our relationship is good now - Heavenly Father and I -currently on the rocks in my “ God#in my “God - why?” era. shit has been dark. and people are commiting atrocites in your name#i do pray for their smitting. but only in a way God with Hir cosmic justice sees fit#and for softened hearts more often but on one occassion it was “plz get these sinners in line” and pulling out psalm 94#Godposting#religion

Neytiri’s Cycle Selfcare Day Headcanon🌱🦋🌕
This is to bring comfort and be fluffy, it’s not canon since we don’t have enough information on the Na’vi reproductive system and I took artistic liberties! Please use your discernment thank you
Neytiri’s no stranger to physical pain, she typically doesn’t make a big deal out of it, but as tradition she and other female Na’vi gather together and go to the Hallelujah Mountains
The women in the clan set up a little camp together to commune
Most of them bring food and goods and are able to provide for the next few days
Neytiri likes to bring her salves and scrubs and goes to the hot spring with a few friends
She’ll take out her braids and everything just to really take care of herself from top to bottom
No hunting or rigorous activities are involved in the few days they gather there
It’s not uncommon to sync to the women you spend most time with performing duties and whatnot so Neytiri enjoys her time on her cycle with her friends
As the Tsakarem she takes the lead with handing out the food and making camp for the others
It’s really just a time to relax and appreciate her body even though she always misses the kids and Jake a bit
She finds a childlike wonder spending time on the mountain staring up at the sky as a fire burns while they eat a communal dinner (even when the group is usually small)
She brings a big batch of Yalna bark and rubs it along her uterus to help calm down the cramps that she shares with everyone
They’ll start the mornings with breath work and guided meditation which she will lead
Linking to the moon cycles it’s imperative to give thanks to Eywa and their connection to nature so they typically find the time to have a little bit of solitude to appreciate
Since they most likely have an estrous cycle they don’t physically bleed but still have cramps and pains so they take it easy and rest as much as possible
Each cycle is deeply spiritual and personal to each Na’vi which makes their time alone on the mountains so sacred: sharing food, healing remedies, sharing stories and enjoying the time together
#mine#avatar explore page#new avatar blog#avatar for you#avatar the way of water#avatar 2009#new avatar writer#new writer#my writing#avatar writing#avatar fyp#avatar headcanons#avatar blog#Neytiri writing#Neytiri avatar#this is not canon so please use your discernment#it’s just for fun and isn’t serious#it’s to bring comfort

One of my favorite things to see in sw media is non-Force sensitives grabbing a lightsaber and just going to town. I don’t want them to be revealed to secretly have been a Force user or secretly a Jedi or ANYTHING, I don’t care or even WANT for them to be an experienced fighter at all, I want some average shmuck to grab a lightsaber whether they know whoever dropped it or not and just start whaling on people or torch-cutting a door open or welding one shut or stuffing their homie inside a dead tauntaun. Experienced sword masters are impressive but sometimes it’s just more interesting and better for the story seeing how a novice approaches the situation
#Fencing master terrified of people who have never fenced before#Because there’s no technique and no way to predict what this madman is about to do#Star wars#lightsabers#hounds speaks#and before everyone suggests Mando with the darksaber NO. HE shouldn’t have been as inept as he was#It’s one thing for the sword to be ~spiritually heavy~ or whatever tf because he’s sad about not having his kid#But it’s another thing entirely to not know ANYTHING about sword fighting#One of the best fighters in the galaxy has worse technique than a child with a stick? GET REAL#You don’t start baby Mandos off with a GUN#You start with hand to hand combat and improvised weapons bc if you can’t defend yourself in your immediate surroundings you’re screwed#‘‘Here’s proper technique. Now here’s how to fight dirty when you have to.’’#Then we get staves and truncheons and blunt handheld weapons then you’re working with swords and spears#and MAYBE at the same time we’re introducing them to blasters#Because I will tell you right now#The gun has a much LARGER margin for error#You teach self-discipline and awareness and discernment first through other means and THEN you give them the thing that does the most amount#of damage#And sure. sometimes a gun is all you have and that’s all you may have time to teach your kid#But for a Mandalorian who grew up in the Fighting Corps#He should know how to handle a sword#Also incidentally why I think he could take on the Darktroopers at the end of S2 with the sword#Especially since there WOULD be no conflict of the heart throwing off his technique#He’s using it to protect what’s behind him and what’s behind him is more important than anything#He’s resolved and has nothing distracting him. There is no doubt in his mind about what he has to do

just a few little bits from the past few days
#both the word count screenshots are from the same day - just different sections of the text. so that was like 4000 words in#one DAY.. huzzah!! (< making up for the fact that I did 0 words the 3 days before that lol.. so its not actually an accomplishment ghjjh)#In renpy I think you can have multiple separate texty cody whatever documents and still jump between them so long as they;re#labeled properly. Rather than like... having one extremely long 60.000 line file where in some places youre in a menu within a menu#within a menu within a menu within a menu within a menu within a menu jhbhj#But that was the way I started doing it lke 5 years ago when I actually made the base of everything so I feel like it'd be too much#work to change it all that dramatically now. But that means I cant just get the word count for the whole document I just have#to jump around to the few sections I worked on and highlight them to get the word count for only that portion#.. the one tiny fraction of the whole monster text wall. Though it is of course spaced out and organized into#clearly labeled sections within that because otherwise I have trouble discerning text on a screen. still.#Resuming a project that's been basically abandoned for 4-5 ish years is just always finding weird stuff like.. why did I do this that way..#why did I write that... why did I organize that in this manner... what the hell am I referencing in this note... etc. lol#Anyway... also......................cat with plum on his head.#everyone point and laugh at mr. plum head boy..!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:3c#I've been obsessed with Calico Critters' social media presence from afar (like how I mentioned one of my possible dream jobs would#be to be the person that sets the scenes and arranges all the toy animals at a tiny little table and etc. to take the type of pictures they#post on their facebook page and stuff) and I see all their photos of them posing the rabbits as if they're in a swimming pool#or on a nature hike or etc. etc. BUT I have never really seen them in person. Recently I was at a store (in a KN95 mask and not staying#very long still of course. wastewater covid levels are still high where I live (and most of the US truly)) and it just crossed my mind#to actually go to the toy section and see if I could find any....wow.... Its like meeting a celebrity.. the Latte Cats....#Of course I didnt buy them because they're like... very expensive?? like $25 - $40 just for one little pack of a few critters like#what is shown. but.... I still got to see them................ my beloved.. I want their outfits... T o T#Oh and then lastly just a pot of purple clover looking things. I just think theyre neat lol#photo diary

We’re gonna have twin MOONS starting this Sunday 9/29, for the 3rd time in our modern history.
The Hopi said these celestial events appear in the sky before great destruction happens — great destruction for the old matrix! And what are we witnessing? The destruction of the old guard and a new era will be born... If you have any doubts about this and you want or need biblical verification, may I suggest you read👀 Revelation 21 and 22. 🤔
#pay attention#educate yourselves#educate yourself#knowledge is power#reeducate yourselves#reeducate yourself#think about it#think for yourselves#think for yourself#do your homework#do your research#do your own research#do some research#ask yourself questions#question everything#it's biblical#astrological signs#use your own discernment

some of y'all when you see another human being talking about their lived experiences:
#and i'm not saying you're bad or wrong for feeling that way#you're never wrong to feel your feelings#i just wish that like#some folks would use a little bit more discernment#in how/IF they express those feelings#or just sit with them#because some feelings are should-sit-with-them feelings#or write-about-it-in-your-journal/in-your-own-post feelings#and it's not nice to make them lash-out-at-others feelings#or silencing-others feelings#bee.txt

I like to think that she provides comfort to the winners she meets in Heaven who grieve their loved ones in Hell. Some come to her, hoping she would recognize the person in her domain. Maybe their eyes light up when she actually does and manages to offer them the comfort that... Yes, they're managing by. Or, she has to resign herself to lying to them if they've become permanently killed because the exterminations are meant to be a secret. This could add to the reasons why Lilith is so upset at those who support the exterminations and partake in them. The unconscious (subconscious sometimes) mind, as she has been equated with in recent philosophy, is the part of you that wants to keep you alive. Her being the personification of it means that she will do anything in her power to remove the dangers that threaten life as a whole.
#ooc : the mortal#that's why she's trying so hard to inspire discernment in her denizens via her concerts#but discernment is usually done in the pre frontal cortex of the brain#which is not her dominion#so she's trying to push the mechanics happening in the back of the mind (her domain) to the front#read a paper that used her as a metaphor/archetype to explain we often get debilitated by our subconscious mind#and lots of spiritual teachings talk about integrating your 'shadow' to be whole#i go with that interpretation for this lils cuz i think its interesting

the irony of people being like "yeah the mixing on this track sucks" while fully and earnestly using the word autotune incorrectly over and over again like girl shut up
#autotune is an EFFECT that is also NOT being USED#people hear singing on-pitch or mild pitch correction (not that these people have the ability to discern between the two) and go up in arms#you can't use basic terminology correctly why are you on your soap box. like shut up

while yall hyping up this catfight between these 2 mediocre moids I wish you'd take a minute to reflect on why you are suddenly so comfortable to revoke the Black card of a biracial man (calling him a "sheltered jewish man") while every other day of the year yall keep preaching that "Black comes in all shade" and believe in the one drop rule? lol
Yall be acting like Blackness is something that can be caught in the air ("he didn't grow in the hood/doesn't understand the Black experience" #COLONIZER) which not only is nonsensical (what defines Blackness is a phenotype, not an experience), but it also has to be one of the most embarrassing self own if I saw one (Blackness = hood/struggle). But you know what? it wouldn't be that much of a problem if you stayed consistent and didn't lose your shit whenever a non Black person who did grow surrounded by Black people, and therefore naturally behave "like a Black person", calling them a race appropriator 🤔 like- which one is it?
Oh and let's not even start about how Black men are comfortable revoking the blackness of biracials men at convenience while having for preference their female counterparts, which not only is a glaring display of colorism, but also shows their glaring hypocrisy and deep seated resentment & jealousy against biracial men (which is something they act like it only existed among Black women).
Black men are never seen denying biracial women blackness, arguing whether they're Black enough, grew up in a black enough neighborhood and all, etc. Ask you why.
And ask yourself whether the Black community™️ would so strongly collectively support a Black woman dissing a biracial one over the same points Kendrick does against Drake ("not a real Black woman", "socially sheltered", etc.). You can bet the same scrotes hyping up Kendrick would call her "bitter" and "jealous".
Ask you why.
#I'm particularly speaking @ you black women supporting kendrick#please don't buy this shit#i know the Black male identification is HUGE among Black women but I beg you to use your brain & discernment#drake#kendrick diss#kendrick lamar#papi watch#papi truths#misogynoir

Really, the issue is that people cannot hold two conflicting thoughts in their heads at the same time. That's why arguments online are so frustrating. Most of the time, it's like, "Yes! Both of these things are true!" But no one wants to hear that. Everyone has to be right. We have to prove ourselves as better than others, so we start using identifiers, "Oh, so you're a <insert term here>." to separate ourselves, and it's exhausting.
If you lack conflict management skills and refuse to look inward, how can you create community?
#it's also a way to avoid taking accountability and it's just a really sad thing#especially when it comes to politics (but this post is about everything tbh)#As soon as someone doesn't directly align with us#we're like#oh I must cast this person aside this means that they’re evil#and it’s like what happened to diversity of thought?#and of course there’s nuance to this like you don’t need to be accept everyone into your community just because#that’s where discernment comes in#but this need to villainize everyone and immediately outcast them is so wild to me!#and I always wonder if people have ever had to have discussions irl with people who have different opinions than them#you can’t expect people to always be on the same page as you. you have to be willing to talk to them without being condescending#and thinking you know everything.#that’s not how you get people on board.#anyway. back on TikTok for a week and girl the conversation over there is so wild right now. I can’t even escape it.#the shit is just far too niche I wanna see cooking videos and that one guy predict#whether or not he would survive in those simulated car videos#but instead it’s video after video about a white adjacent woman who called Beyoncé americas biggest propagandist#you got CEO’s out here donating to Trump and TikTok about to be banned and musk doing the wildest shit#but yeah. a southern black woman is who we should old responsible for American propaganda like?#because black women aren’t people they’re entities to manipulate right?#that’s why I left that place during the election but ANYWHOO#this probably a conversation for the GC

you don’t have to answer this ask but wow how are you supposed to be the bad guy fucking apologizing for reacting badly to being told to kill yourself?? i hate this website
well okay hold up i never said i was the bad guy. i said there were misunderstandings on both sides and that i was sorry for an issue in one part of how i handled it. just one.
#ask tag#not counting#like um. i do understand that maybe this person's sense of humor is way different then mine okay#but like. they said that they didn't mean it legitimately and once they saw it was haarmful they apologized#for me to say ''i am glad i understand your side of the story and you understand mine'' i am not saying i'm the bad guy#there's really no ''bad guy'' in this situation as i see it because the world is more nuanced then that y'know#like. sometimes people have a sense of humor that you can't pick up on. it doesn't mean you shouldn't state your point of view#and say ''that wasn't how i want people to talk to me and i also won't let you do that''#also the only part i really ''apologized'' for was that i used a term for them that was uncomfortable#i assume for gender reasons. and i understand where that comes from. if someone called me ''girl'' while arguing i wouldn't like it#whenever i said sorry after that i did my best to try and word it in a way like ''i am sorry this happened but it's not my fault''#like how when. idk. someone's grandma dies and you say ''sorry for your loss'' you're not saying that you killed their grandma#you're just saying that you feel bad that the thing happened but not that it's your fault#and yes. i do agree that the situation may have been fixed if they just said it was a joke but hindsight is 20/20 right?#anyways. that's my take on the situation.#and like. idk. if they apologized and told me how they saw it. i'm gonna believe them because i have had WAY more malicious people here#like idk. there have been anons who have said wayy worse and there's no discernable reason for why they would#like that one anon who told me that i should get my arms chopped off or something. idk. i deleted it before i could commit it to memory#and that was on purpose#but like. my point is. there's worse people. and if i focus all of my energy about being mad over a person who made one joke in bad taste#idk just seems like a waste of time#at least that's my perspective on the situation. never said i was the bad guy. just sorry it happened#also sorry it happened so late at night for me! i need an ibuprofen and a bagel now

Losing my mind at the amount of people on reddit who will straight up admit to poaching or breaking conservation laws like genuinely
#messages from knave#no you cant go out into the wild and take buckets of dirt without a permit#no you cant go out into a national park and harvest whole mats of moss#no you cant take an endagerred bird of prey home and use it in taxidermy#yes its still poaching if the endangered plants are 'technically on your property'#yes people DO sell poached plants and mosses online. yes it IS an industry with money in it#yes people lie to you on the internet because doing so is illegal#lord in heaven. you are all so stupid#also what's up with the guy on the texidermt subreddit selling bulk orders of dead cats#he's not like. affiliated with anyone#he's just trying to sell around 100 cat corpses for no discernable reason#?????? WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE

The phrase “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all” has done irreparable damage to the human race. We have not learned how to acceptably criticize others and we have not learned how to gracefully accept it from others. It reeks of codependency. We need to make maximal effort to undo the damage that may have been inflicted upon us in childhood. If we equate a criticism of our BEHAVIOR as an attack on OURSELVES, then we have some work to do. If this notion that we are separate from our actions makes you uncomfortable, you need to do some reflecting, and that’s not me “coming for you”! We also need to stop just throwing around criticism when we are heated or feeling resentful. Criticism is a tool that we all NEED. Desperately. In order to change for the better. But we need to know how to wield it. If you have a genuine criticism of someone’s choices (someone you care about) learn how to tell them calmly, so that they might be able to take your concern to heart and use it for the better. The goal should never be to cause pain. Learn this before it’s too late.
#being afraid to voice criticism in a healthy manner has cost me a lot#too much or too little#you sacrifice your own well being or someone else’s every time you don’t voice a criticism you have#judgment is not a bad thing. it is IMPOSSIBLE to rid yourself of judgment.#that is where we gather positive discernment from!#but learning how to voice it in a way that someone can digest is vital to yourself AND to them#enabling people is the worst thing you can do for everyone’s mental and emotional well-being#learning how to accept the critiques that those who love you have for you is an imperative skill if you want to be authentic in this life#but this is a two way street#if you learn how to be graceful when giving out criticism and it backfires bc that person is too emotionally immature to take it#then that is proof that they still have work ahead of them#and if you get criticized from a place of love and you still blow up or disregard what someone has to say to you#then that is a sign that you still have some work to do#life is complex but we make it simpler when we trust that those we love have their best intentions for us#mine#especially important for neurodivergent people to learn how to give & take it appropriately & not internalize it NEGATIVELY#i say this as a neurodivergent person#we often have a lot of maladaptive coping skills that helped us survive our disfunctional homes#and that’s okay bc we did the best we could with what we had as children#but it is time to treat ourselves and others with love and respect and leave behind the traits that hinder us#such as the inability to accept or give out criticism

#4 years today since you blocked me everywhere and completely ghosted me for no reason i can discern other than you were tired of me#it was fucked up of you to do that to me. i can admit that now.#but i still feel guilty. if i wasn't such a mess maybe you would have stuck by me. if i hadn't let my depression make me a bad friend.#but you knew i was sick and you still threw me away. i think you also were a bad friend.#i wish i didn't still care about you. i wish i didn't think about you and what you're doing now.#i wish i didn't still worry about you and wonder if you're okay. if you ever got that surgery you needed. if your health is better now#mine isn't. not that you would ask. but i'm still struggling all the time#you probably don't ever think about me anymore; i stopped being useful to you so i probably stopped existing to you#but i guess i'll never get to let go of you and i'll just have to let it weigh me down forever#until it's finally all over.#i'm angry at you and i'll always be angry at you. i wouldn't forgive you even if you wanted me to#but i still hope you're okay#and i still miss you
