i don't mean any disrespect for your beliefs in being prolife. i just have a genuine question for you: if abortion is made illegal, who is going to help the mother after the baby is born? ive seen a lot of good coming from prolife organizations when someone is pregnant, but what about when the baby is born? do you think the government should fund programs for mothers to be able to afford having a child? again, not look for a heated debate. just would love to know your take on this.

I love genuine questions! Pull up a chair.

I achingly long for the day that the government stops promoting, funding, sponsoring and encouraging abortion so that we can focus on real ways to help women through pregnancy, birth and motherhood. For real. That’s the reason we want abortion gone - so that everyone can devote time and money to a system that treats both mother and child with dignity - abortion fails to do that for each party. I also can’t wait until the foster system and process of fostering and adoption are simplified, while still ensuring that children go to safe and loving homes. Right now, we currently have Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief services to help struggling parents and families, but it’s not nearly enough, and people often don’t trust “those judgmental religious pro-lifers,” believing media stereotypes rather than getting to know us. Most of us have either firsthand or loved ones who have experienced abortion, unplanned pregnancy, and struggled in parenthood, we really do get it. And wouldn’t it be awesome for mothers to get compensation for working 24 hours a day for, well, a lifetime? They are working women too. I and my catholic lady friends and woman advocates have oodles of ideas.

More than anything, I want a culture where no one feels the need to have an abortion. That adoption can be the first and sole recourse when faced with the birth of a child someone cannot or does not wish to raise. That parents respond with love and compassionate understanding when their child shows them a positive pregnancy test, not with “let’s look up our local abortion clinic hours.” That no one feels they need to get rid of their child to go to college, instead that colleges reward and unconditionally support student mothers. That no one seeks abortion so that they can have a career, but that workplaces are able to be child-friendly and accommodating. That boyfriends and pimps who say they will break up with/fire those who do not get an abortion, that they are shamed and exposed as cowards and scum.

In short, the pro-life goal is not to make abortion illegal as much as it is to make abortion unthinkable.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but intrusive thoughts are basically your brain’s (sometimes very upsetting) way of saying “If there were two guys on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what?”

I’ve personally found that adding the “would that be fucked or what?” part in myself really helps put the more disturbing thoughts we sometimes get into perspective. Helps me say “yeah thar sure would be fucked up” and move on with my day.

It’s not not a secret desire, it’s not something that only occurs to you because you’re a bad person. It’s just your brain deciding to process the fact that it knows an uncomfortable thing exists in the world by feeding it to you in an absurd “what if” with you as the main character.

Potentially re-thinking my stance on not posting art until I have access to nightshade, in large part because I made that decision not out of fear (of my art being stolen), but out of bitterness and a vindictive anger.

Not that AI doesn’t deserve to be poisoned, but I will not let living in an AI age keep me from creating and sharing the joy of creation and storytelling with my fellow image-bearing storytellers. The “we shall live in an atomic age in the same way we lived in any other age” principle. “If disaster comes let it find us living sensibly” you know.

Still thinking.

Please be wary of imposing things that have worked as good spiritual habits for you onto the lives of other people as law.

I'm afraid even the best teachers and pastors have done this but it's precisely because these habits were born out of sincere desire that it worked for them, and it's admirable to have strong self discipline and dedication and wish to share such habits as ideas with other people but please don't let anyone tell you that you are sinning if you don't:

Read the bible at a specific time of day

Read through the whole bible every year

Never miss church ever (even if you're sick)

Schedule your travel so that you never miss church

Avoid being in a room alone with someone of the opposite sex

Have a bible that's literally physically in bad repair

Many, many other things I've heard people speak as if they were law

"no attachments" in SW literally just means "don't be selfish and possessive". that's it. that's all there is. doesn't mean jedi can't have friends and loved ones. they can. just. don't be possessive and selfish about it. don't murder thousands of people in an effort to save one.

” I don’t go here but…” is such a cool tag to get idc idc. You don’t know what I’m talking about but you like it anyways? Let’s make out

Hey remember when Tumblr banned porn and everyone fled to Twitter and the internet by and large became that much more insufferable? Yeah well, we’re about to get the sequel no one’s been waiting for

A recent lawsuit is calling into question the very law that makes user-generated content possible on the internet and it’s going before a bunch of old people who have no idea how the internet works. If Section 230 gets repealed or modified, the internet as we know it will radically change forever. Content policing will be that much worse; and either the guidelines will be so restrictive it’ll squeeze the life out of their sites, or sites will close their doors all together by not being able to meet the moderation demand and not wanting to risk being liable. 

Unlike SOPA way back in the day, this one is quietly flying under everyone’s radar so there’s no big pushback like last time, so there is a very real possibility this goes down in the worst way possible. So Yeah Ya’ll may want to start saving your favorite content if you feel it’s going to go bye-bye

I enjoy the gaps in stories as much as I enjoy the stories themselves.

The times between scenes. The unexplained parts of the world. The events or histories or relationships that are hinted at but not shown in full.

Give me a story full of gaps and my imagination will be filling them in forever in dozens of different ways.

"quests to complete nearby"

"quests available in my city"

"nearest quest board google maps"

"beginner side quests in my neighborhood"

This is why you should spend less time posting OnLine and more time posting on the quest board!!!

Example:

Seeking a brave adventurer to fetch me one 5lbs bag of all purpose flour. Reward: A batch of fresh homemade snickerdoodles.

This could be the world we live in, but alas! You squander your time on this mortal plane! Imagine the baked goods we could have shared! Perhaps... in another life.
