hey beautiful people. i just got a couple transphobes in my notes so i want to real quick give a little reminder that literally 90% of the people I love are trans and 90% of the terf/radfem posts i ever read are poisonous self-hating tiny miserable cruelty and if you don't like supporting trans folks you don't get my little mikus. bye

Hey, what characters do you head cannon as Mormon?

Like, you look at the blorbo and immediately say "that's a priesthood holder" or "she's been to girl's camp" or "this one smells like they'd wear a CTR ring"

I don't care if it's realistic or supported by cannon or makes sense to anyone but you, I wanna know who's been pinged by your Mormon Radar.

I'll start.

Scooter from the Muppets is absolutely the Elder Quorum Secretary. He went on a mission to Oklahoma or Ohio or some such place.

you call the God of Israel a cruel and unfeeling god but i never saw any other deity from any other religion leave their exalted position in the heavens to humble themselves and serve their own creation to the point of death so that they could be reconciled with them forever. but that's just me though

No but seriously, if you don't have enough information to realize that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a different nature of organization than Heaven's Gate, you probably don't know enough about cults to be lecturing people about them!

we're not a death cult, we've been around for 200 years. if you're gonna come around calling us a cult at least get your facts straight 🙄

someone should make a Book of Mormon manga that would go so hard

Whenever I'm in the Mormon side of TikTok it's kinda bizarre because it'll be a video of someone mentioning Heavenly Mother and then in the comments someone with a user name that looks like their social security number says something like "Um, aktually that's a heresy" and it's like, My guy, my brother in Christ, we Mormon do not give a flying frick about what some middle aged virgin with a bad haircut decided was a heresy back in the middle ages.

What you call heresy, we call a damn good start, now hop on the spaceship or get outta the way, we hieing to Kolob, bitch.

Yes, I am decidedly more man than woman.

i don't think these ads are very effective why would the secret lives of mormon wives get me to sign up for hulu? i know so many mormon wives in real life

sometimes im like “tone down the Self to fit in” and other times, the voice of God comes to me in a dream and says “I didn’t make you crazy for no reason”

trust in the Lord is like trust in a beloved author. I picked up this book because I know the kind of stories you’ve told before. I know your stories are told with love for the characters and love for the reader. and even though you sometimes take things in directions that scare me, that I don’t understand and that I wouldn’t have chosen myself, I know you’re a better author than I could ever be, you’ve proved it over and over. so I trust that in the end, all the hurt will be part of something beautiful. I trust that failure and despair will not get the final say. I trust that you know what you’re doing.

He wrote the Incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus. He wrote every miracle and grace in my life. what reason do I have to fear?

honestly the tradwife movement is so scary. at least all the middle-aged mormon housewives i know were encouraged to get a good education and have some self-sufficiency
