the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

catholic guilt this catholic guilt that.

what about catholic grace!!! in the open arms of Christ on the cross, in the words "Body of Christ", in the kind face of a priest when you step into the confessional!!

what about catholic glory!!! in the towering cathedrals, in the ornate gold vessels made to hold the Lord, in the relics of saints who have died but are alive in Christ!!

what about catholic joy!!! in laughing over coffee with friends after Mass, in singing hymns as one voice, in the feeling of stepping into any church anywhere in the world and knowing you're at home!!

they're called human rights because you get them by being human. No ifs no buts. Everyone gets them. Yes even those people

How I painted Star Shower~ I really love painting transparent materials, there's just something so fun about the way light reflects and refracts ✨
