"Wh- wh- Target had to pull their pride merch! They were getting bomb threats!"

Have you considered that I don't care? Queer people live every day of our lives with the potential of being killed in cold blood. Trans people can't even piss in a public restroom or have a conversation with a stranger without feeling unsafe. We live every day of our lives at a heightened risk of being brutally murdered, and we don't have the privilege of simply bending to the fascist's will and removing stuff from shelves to solve it. This is our lives, 24/7, and there's nothing we can do about it. We're expected to put up with the hate and the death threats for simply existing, but for some reason, Target is exempt? I don't think so. You really expect me to feel sorry for a multi-billion dollar corporation taking the chickenshit route out? Bull. Shit. You either stand with us wholeheartedly, with your chest out, or you shut the fuck up and stop trying to profit off us. Target, unlike us, had a choice, and they chose to give the fascists what they want and send the message that inciting fear is a meaningful way to hurt queer people and promote detrimental and radical conspiracy theories. So boo-fucking-hoo. Target can rot.

Sidon's sage ability is underwhelming, but it's hard for me to say it's straight up bad: a perfect shield for one hit is extremely good.

Never thought I’d mini golf in the rain but it was literally the funnest thing

Tomorrow is my new uni orientation. I went to my first college orientation 2 years ago. So much has changed. So much has stayed the same. I’m terrified things at this school will go exactly the same way they did before. I’m scared I will not make any friends and everyone will hate me and if this falls through I will run into the woods and live there forever. I wish I could express these emotions in a better way. I wish I wasn’t so anxious I wish I didn’t have to get up so early tomorrow. I wish my girlfriend would let me have something for once, let me be excited about something or upset about something instead of sweeping over it with their own shit. I wish I could be writing a song right now I desperately want everything to be good and go well and for me to be happy. I wish I wasn’t so afraid of change I hope to god everything goes alright

"Math?" Andrew asks and it shouldn't be a surprise considering the fact that he'd seen Alex doing problems in the dirt sometimes when he was waiting for Andrew.

"Math has saved my life countless times." Alex says with a nod.

"Math?" Andrew asks again wanting to make sure.

"Math." Alex nods again.

sometimes its so crazy to realize that there's actually a lot of things i like. that i thought i didn't like because i was a depressed teenager. i love being outside! i love swimming! i love talking to people! even strangers sometimes! i love getting dressed in fun outfits and doing makeup! i love reading and going to art museums! i just thought i was doomed forever to a life of complete and total apathy and void! and now look at me! still a little shaky but i'm doing it!!!!!

i noticed that the Inkjet tends to respawn you where you die if you die after touching the ground, but i think that only applies if you're currently touching the ground.

in short, the floor is lava.

you ever think about how pretty much the only reason we use base10 is because we have 10 fingers and if everyone had 6 fingers on each hand we'd use base12 and never even think a thing of it and also math would be pretty much better in every way?

ever since I was little I never gave a fuck if anyone else liked me, I just wanted to like me and eventually I did for a little while but then I forgot how

This Verse Secretly Undermines All of Christianity...

I just saw this and thought I would process it on my own.

This YouTuber doesn't sound like he's explored much beyond mainstream Western Christianity. He makes the bold statement that EVERY Christian sect finds indispensable the idea that Christ died on the Cross "for our sins". Period.

For the longest time I found that challenging too. He goes on to talk about many of the same things I've asked, "Why couldn't God just forgive us outright? Why must he go through a generational pageant to do something the God of the Universe could have done of his own accord in the first place?"

You can say this is a dumb question. I've been told this many times.

Yet I have never been the only one asking this.

Many, if not all Atheists ask this question. Frankly, many "Christian" answers sound a little unhinged.

Now, I don't think that his examples necessarily contradict the prevailing point of view though. All anyone has to do is look at the banking industry to see that credit on future earnings is a valid payment method. Now it's true that modern banking, and especially credit, wasn't developed until the European Jews, unable to make a living any other way, started lending during the medieval period. Jesuits came up with the idea of insurance, which didn't technically fall under the prohibition against usury. And with ongoing innovation, modern financial markets developed.

None of these, of course, would have been understood by the local people of Jesus' time and place.

What was understood was life and death.

And this is where I found my peace.

Sins can easily be forgiven, but sickness and eventual death? That's a whole other nut to crack. Now, to be clear, unfortunately even the most traditional Christian communities have started to obsess about how SIN must be atoned!

But there is a strain in the oldest Christian traditions that it wasn't primarily sin that was destroyed on the cross, but rather death, disease, corruption (of which sin is a derivation to be sure, but not the point).

Now it's easy to look around and say - "Look! it didn't work." I myself have had to say good bye to both my parents over the last several months.

However, there is a resurrection that is promised. And if Christ has done what he said he did, then there WILL be a general resurrection.

The key is to be prepared for that resurrection. Now we could go on about which denomination is best prepared, but I have little faith in denominationalism. I think it's a means to conquer and divide the faithful, pitting follower against follower. Soon the God who's being worshiped isn't the most High God, but the Deceiver who encourages us all to call each other heretics. I do not think most "Christians" are Christian, but rather following their own wisdom (1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 24:11).

Now I may be a false teacher myself for thinking such a thing and putting it out there, but I have faith that God will know his own. And while he loves the rest, and has given them life, that life will be so much less for the fact that they reject what he's given them.

I find the idea of a river of fire helpful - Moses and the Glory of God (Exodus 33:20-23), speaks to the idea that to human senses, God is Fire. The Story of the Three Holy Youths (Daniel 3) has also been seen as an illustration of man abiding in the presence of fire, as a proxy for God, unharmed. Pentecost is God's fire experienced by the faithful after his resurrection. How will Gods fire be experienced by the unfaithful?

I have no idea, but I doubt that it will be pleasant (Luke 16:19-31).

In short, I feel this video failed to land it's point. There's enough diversity in Christianity to survive this argument, though I do not think that most modern Christians are open to my resolution.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner.

Pretty Boy for WIP Wednesday, please (out of context it sounds kinda funny lmao). Have a great week 💜

WIP Wednesday - 12/6/23 (closed) | Dealer's Choice: Pretty Boy

Time marches on, as it is known to, and like Andrew had predicted the cut on Neil's face fades more and more each day. It fades until it's hardly more than a thin line of white that only someone who regularly studies Neil's face would notice.

So of course it's a spot that Andrew drags his thumb along regularly. He has never been in the habit of lying to himself and damage done to Neil under his watch will likely always bother him. He drags his thumb along the burn scar where a 4 used to be.

He drags his thumb down further to Neil's lips trying to wipe off the pleased smile that has dared to settle there this evening.
