I love religious queer people so much especially non-Christian religious queer people. I know it can be hard to be queer in religious spaces and hard to be religious in queer spaces but your existence as both religious and queer makes the world better.

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

was looking for discord servers to join where i would be welcome to ask some questions about Islam, and half of them seemed really cool but the other half were straight up like. fetish discords. and that just seems really disrespectful like what

[christshands]

I work in an art gallery with some amazing works by Vincent Van Gogh, and I keep find myself defending his honor. People frustrate me to no end.

Some people look at his artwork, which is full of immense love for the world, and go, "Oh, how sad. He was crazy. Isn't this painting SAD?" And, it's one of the most joyful paintings on earth.

The worst people are those who mock his artwork because he was "crazy". Upon looking at a beautiful, delicate, loving, and meditative artwork, a father nudged his son. "Isn't this the lunatic who cut off his own ear?" The son laughed. "Disgusting," the son said, and they laughed together.

Worse yet, some people find the artworks scary. With this kind and gentle painting before us, a young woman shrieked and grinned like she was in a haunted house, running into her boyfriend's arms. After all, he was crazy.

Vincent Van Gogh wanted to be a priest. He felt God's love in everything and everyone. The priesthood didn't work out, but nevertheless Vincent especially felt God's love in the unloved. He painted every breeze in the air, and the veins in the unnoticed laborer's hands.

I don't think Van Gogh's swirling spirals are crazy. I think they're meditations on God's love, breathed through all Creation. To me, these paintings are a prayer.

did you hear? there was another sunrise this morning. the clouds are parting to let love in. birds still live in the trees and rabbits still live in the ground and God still loves you
