Willie Scott and the Birmingham Spirituals - Keep Your Faith to the Sky (1979)
A few years ago, Luaka Bop released a great collection World Spirtuality Classics 2: The Time For Peach is Now - it’s a great listen and this is one to the highlights. I’m not a believer, but you don’t need to be religious to appreciate good music.

tonight i'm thinking about time and how it's given out to people.
many people have passed away recently. willie mays, especially, comes to mind. there was a baseball game scheduled on a thursday to celebrate mays' career; he died the monday before that, and so the game honored his life. i wish, more than anything, that he had been given just a little more time, just long enough to go to birmingham, alabama and see just how much he was loved.
two videos came out yesterday, lost footage from technoblade. lovingly finished by friends and family, those videos were so quintessentially techno that for a moment, i really just... forgot he was gone. i wish that he had been given more time, too. i would have loved to see him on a mcc team with scar, or how he would have destroyed the qsmp purgatory event. i hope he knew, and continues to know, how much he is loved.
a couple of days ago, it was tinfoilchef's birthday. he would have been in his mid-60s by now, not too much older than my parents. he was someone who made the most of his time, just doing what made him happy. he, too, is someone who deserved more time; he never got to meet the newest hermits, skizz and joel, and he never got to be on the podcast, and he never made it to hermitcraft's 10th season.
i suppose what i'm saying here is that you never really know how much time you have. spend it loving other people. spend it doing things you love. and, if you can, spend it loving yourself. there's only one you, and you only have so much time.
i love you all. take care of yourselves. and even though you don't know how much time you have, take things slow. take a break. you deserve it.

what about peaky blinders and a reader who isn’t afraid to answer them and behave boldly?🔥
thx
Tommy
🌿The first time you snap hes stunned, and tbh he's never not stunned by your sudden temper. The way you defy him... Hes not used to not getting his own way.
🌿Tells you all the time he has rules for a reason but he just cannot tame you... Youre a disobedient little lady and he cant get his head around you
🌿Its not that youre just plain old badly behaved either, its that youre contrary. If youre feeling like arguing you'll pick a fight over anything and youre stubborn, sometimes he thinks he more stubborn than you.
🌿Hes absolutely never hurt you, never hit you, but if you need bringing back down to earth he wont hesitate to pin you against the wall or force you down against his desk, hold you by your neck or your hair and threaten you till the cows come home.
🌿But he despairs because nothing seems to work.
🌿"Fuck your rules, fuck your threats, fuck you Tommy fuckin Shelby!" "Now you listen to me alright sweetheart, don't you fuckin swear at me eh, you dont fuckin swear at me..." "Fuck..." you narrowing your eyes, challenging him.
🌿Youre basically always asking for trouble, you get a kick out of pissing off the most dangerous man in birmingham, knowing he'll never actually do anything to hurt you.
🌿He does absolutely love watching you stand up to his brothers, or to anyone else for that matter. It might piss him off when you do it to him but he's ever so proud of you when you tell one of his brothers to "shove it" or "get fucked"
🌿He'll pretend he isnt going to let you get away with it but it will be so blatantly half hearted that his brothers will know hes enjoying their suffering and that will rub salt in the wound. "Now now love, dont be rude to my brothers, they aren't used to young ladies answering back to them..."
🌿But he does have rules and he is determined you'll learn em.
🌿"mutual respect yeah, you and me? We respect eachother don't we..." he'll make you say it, thats how he puts you in your place, "Go on say it back to me love, so i know you mean it," hes got his hand on your throat or holding your chin so youre forced to look at him. Sometimes you do as he says, sometimes you make to spit at him and he has you flipped over his shoulder in seconds.
🌿There are some things he wont put up with.
Alfie
🐻Is shocked, its usually him doing the talking, usually him being clever and snarky...
🐻 But when he tells you youre not to talk to Tommy Shelby hes stunned to hear you say, "I talk to whoever i want,"
🐻 His way of dealing with you is different to Tommy's. He calls you over, gets you to come and sit in his lap and then he holds you there, trailing his hands over your body, playing with your hair, all the while giving you a little speech about why he's telling you not to speak to him.
🐻 "What you have to, no need to understand ziskeit, is that me yeah, i dont just give orders willy nilly for no reason yeah, if i ask you to do something, or tell you not to do somethin - as is the case right now - it's probably, no definitely, its definitely because its for your own good treacle, yeah thats right, for your own good..."
🐻."and you see yeah, if i tell you y/n youre not to talk to Tommy Shelby, its cause i know somethin, or maybe lots of somethins yeah, that you don't about Tommy Shelby... And maybe i, being absolutely devoted to you my little ziskeit, just want whats best for you..."
🐻"Only i get to decide whats best for me A..."
🐻 "Tsk tsk," puts his finger to your lips, looks you right in the eyes, "let me stop you right there treacle," you only get called treacle when youre in trouble and right now you're on thin fucking ice, "let me stop you right there sweetheart because i wasnt finished, no i wasnt, see the other thing you need to know right, the other thing, is that when i ask you to fucking do something, you fucking do it... Cause if you dont do it and then somethin happens to you like ohhhh i dont know, say a very bad and dangerous man with evil running through his heart like rot runs through a decomposing fuckin apple... Let's call him Tommy Shelby right? If a very bad man like Tommy Shelby ends up fuckin catchin you in his satanic, godless little web... Then well, i ain't helpin you am I? Cause well, i will have fuckin warned you... "
🐻The man can talk the fear of god into you and honestly, its the only way he can get you to behave.
🐻Because he doesnt hit women, he would never touch you or physically hurt you. And he also doesnt mean it when he says hed abandon you, hes only trying to scare you into submission because he knows he'd kill himself to save you and that would only work once.
🐻 He likes hearing you answer back and put the boys in their place, whenever any of the lads in the bakery say something innapropriate of try to tease you you put them in their place pretty quick.
🐻Alfie likes to join in then "Whats the matter lad, scared of a girl now are you? Fuckin hell kids these days, worlds gone bloody soft..."
Arthur
🍂You snap at him because he snaps at you. You fuckin hate men who shout at women
🍂 So when arthur shouts at you you shout right fuckin back and shit does it scare him. He isnt expecting it for one, but more than that, hes never had a woman shout at him like that before.
🍂 You only slapped him once, and it was because he fucking deserved it. He got all up in your face barking bloody orders at you, it was after some serious peaky business had gone sour and to be honest, he was scared. Wanted to communicate just how serious the situation was...
🍂But he scared you, and again, he shouted, he was so close to your face he spat at you when he spoke, and you saw red.
🍂 So you slapped him, and it shut him up but then all hell broke loose.
🍂 He grabbed you pretty forcefully, snatched the breath from you, holding your collar in a fist. You saw the whites of his eyes, he was so angry
🍂 "That was fuckin out of order sweetheart, you dont fuckin hit people do ye? Do i do that to you do i? Have i ever fuckin laid a finger on you? Eh? Have i?"
🍂 You regretted it imediately but you were also kind of proud you did it. You werent just going to let him bully you.
🍂"What kind of a world would it be if we all went around fuckin hittin eachother all the time eh?"
🍂 "sounds a lot like the world youre already living in Arthur..." the fact youd answer him back with such a cheeky remark even now has him drop you hes so shocked.
🍂 Hes used to everyone being terrified of him, even his brothers know not to piss him off or get clever with him, but here you are at the height of his temper making comments like that, and with a smirk on your lips and all.
🍂 "Right sweetheart, im going to give you one last chance to apologise to me alright... Youve got till i say 3...one, two..."
🍂 "I aint apologising for nothin Arthur, you dont scare me..."
🍂 Its not true, he does, he terrifies you sometimes and right now when his breathings ragged and hes red in the face, yeah he terrfies you..
🍂 But you wont admit that, not ever and theres something about your brave tone and the determined defiant look in your eyes that really turns Arthur on...
🍂 So you fuck, thats how he deals with your defiance, he takes his anger out by fucking you fast and rough.
🍂 Its also the only way he'll ever get an apology out of you.
John
🌼 Doesnt like it, doesnt sit right with him being spoken to like that by a woman, its not right.
🌼 But does he get off on seeing you speak like that to other men? So much... Especially when its classic authority figures like the police. He also loves to hear you knock Isaiahs and Finns cocky smirks right off their faces.
🌼 He likes defending you but he doesnt half admire the fact that you dont need him too.
🌼But it does annoy him when you then tell him not to defend you. Hes your man, its his job to defend you. Especially from other men.
🌼His favourite thing about your quick temper is the way you talk to Linda... Linda likes to make plenty of snide comments about you, your class, the fact that you swear and take the lords name in vane. The fact that you're fucking a gangster out of wedlock. Shes always telling you that you live in sin and youre always telling her where to shove her bible.
🌼The number of times he hasnt been able to stop himself laughing out loud when youve snapped back at Linda. He fucking loves it, and he encourages you too, telling you how fantastic it was later when youre away from everyone.
🌼He doesnt like it when you snap at Tommy though, John is scared of his older brother, he knows Tommy wont stand for your defiance and so hes always begging you not to start anything with tommy. For the most part you oblige but every now and then when you think somethings unreasonable...
🌼John finds himself having to make excuses for you, apologising on your behalf cause you sure as hell won't do it.
🌼 Especially because usually when you snap at Tommy its because youre trying to protect John from risking his life in another Tommy scheme.
Bonnie
🍀 Bonnie doesnt have many rules for you and he isnt one to go ordering you about. He only asks that you look after yourself, that you dont go getting yourself into any trouble.
🍀And that you stay away from the peaky blinders, you dont interfere with him and his dads business with them
🍀And thats where you just can't oblige... Your curiosity gets the better of you for a start, you want to know who your mans getting involved with but more than that youre worried.
🍀You care about bonnie deeply and so you want to know everything about his work so that you can best learn how to protect him.
🍀If you get cheeky with him its probably over something lighthearted. Bonnie doesn't really have a temper for taking out on you, if youre arguing he tends to let you say your piece but he wont rise to it.
🍀"Am only telling you not to get involved because i love you little dove, cant have you getting hurt... Dont know what id do if anything ever happened to you... Thats why i tell you to stay away... Cause i love you," he tells you this whilst cupping your face in his palm, kissing your forehead.
🍀 And because of this you dont really argue at all. Unless youve put yourself in harms way, then he maybe has some sharp words for you, they're just a fuelled only by concern for you though. Hes a gentle soul.
🍀He does adore your witt and sharp tongue though, loves it when you give as good as you get from the other boys at the settlement, loves to hear you answer back the adult men and women too.
🍀Youre so wild and it balances his calm/gentle nature.
🍀 Its even more entertaining when hes training at the boxing gym, when his teachers being a miserable bastard, laying into Bonnie purely because hes a gypsy boy, sometimes youll snap at him in english so he can understand, but sometimes youll say it in romani so that only you and Bonnie can know what youve said.
🍀Bonnie laughing, gleeful and proud because you can be so brutal, and because youve really pissed his teacher off. When the old man demands he tell him what you said Bonnie will only occasionally translate, sometimes he'll just repeat what you said in romani again. Therell be steam practically coming out the old mans ears.
🍀One day Tommy catches what you've said and then you and Bonnie both get into trouble, you both feel like school children being reprimanded. But even tommy has a soft spot for you, he found your romani insult entertaining too.
🍀 Sometimes bonnie likes to remind you of your bad behaviour when youre havibg sex, he likes to tell you how cheeky you are, how youre gonna get yourself into trouble if youre not careful.
🍀"With who? You?" "Are you testing me little dove?"
🍀 Your temper has causes real trouble before, you talked back to a man in the garrison and he raised his hand to hit you. Bonnie cut in the second he saw what was happening.... Hes not a boy who has a temper until someone threatens you...
🍀Even if you were asking for trouble.
Isaiah
🐀Doesnt like that you talk back to him but does like that you talk back to other people. Its a tricky situation and he doesn't know how to deal with you
🐀It would be a shame to tame you when you bring him so much entertainment, but he also cant stand it when youre rude to him
🐀Feels like it threatens his manhood when he lets you get away with answering back or defying him
🐀So he doesnt let you get away with it, he has plenty of ways to punish you when youre bad... Most of them sexual.
🐀The problem is, hes such a cocky bastard and sometimes that just gets under your skin and rubs you up the wrong way.
🐀"dont see why i should have to take orders from you, youre no Tommy Shelby..."
🐀Saying stuff like that reallyyyyy riles him up, it wounds his ego, it pisses him off.
🐀You get yourself in trouble with him so much but you like the being in trouble, you get your kicks from watching his temper flare.
🐀Kind of likes that youre rude to him sometimes because it gives him an excuse to put you over his lap and spank you.
🐀It causes problems for him when you're rude to Michael, not so much because Michael would hurt you but because Polly wouldn't hesitate to smack you. And it has happened before.
🐀Isaiah actually found himself on your side, stepped in to stop her doing it again. When he checked you over after taking you away somewhere you could be alone, he grinned at you, congratulationed you on putting michael in his place, "he can be a right smug git sometimes, deserved what you said to him,"
🐀Mostly he likes that youre a little wild and unpredictable, the problem is so is he... So you lead eachother to take risks when you shouldnt.
🐀Loves to fuck the defiance out of you, "think you're clever do you, answer me back, breaking the rules... Think you're a clever girl huh y/n?" "Still feel fucking clever now?"
🐀Will bend you over the bed and fuck you witb your face pushed into the mattress, spanking you too until you finally say youre sorry and promise not tk disobey him again.
🐀But both of you know that you will, its like you just cant help yourself.
Michael
☘️ "No, fucking no... You don't talk to me like that y/n you just fucking dont..."
☘️He wont stand for it, he hates that you dare to challenge him. It pierces his delicate ego and it reminds him that he'll never be as authorititave as Tommy.
☘️ "Im your fuckin husband and youll show me some fucking respect..."
☘️ "What about your respect Michael? Do i get to have your respect?"
☘️ He is constantly telling you to behave yourself but he cant tame you. He knows deep down he'll never be able to and he also wonders whether hed still be attracted to you if you were meak and completely submissive. Wouldnt that bore him?
☘️Spanks you, it goes against his morals to hit a woman but once, once you really crossed a line and he raised his hand to you... He never actually hit you but the intent was there and the moment he caught himself, stopped himself, he felt terrible.
☘️ "What? You gonna hit me Michael? You gonna hit a girl? Some man you are eh..." youd spat at him, completely defiant, even with his hand raised to strike you youd been confident enough to look him dead in the eyes and continue to chastise him.
☘️ Polly kind of admires you for not taking any shit from Michael, she'd have raised her son to respect women if she had had the chance to, so shes glad you stand up for yourself. Its the only way to survive in the Shelby family.
☘️ Michael doesnt like it when you defy Tommy, when you question him and argue back in family meetings. It embarrasses him, thinks it makes it look like he cant control his wife... But he cant control his wife.
☘️ He takes his anger with you out on you during sex but honestly you love that and it just makes you want to push his buttons even more.
☘️Youve even brought it up in an argument... "Why whatre you gonna do to me Michael, if i swear at you one more time what will you do? You gonna fuck me are you? You gonna fuck your wife until she fuckin cries? Go on i double dare you..."
☘️ You end up with bruises.
