I Will Send My Messenger

1 Behold, I send forth my messenger, and he shall survey the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come into his temple, even the angel of the covenant, whom ye take pleasure in: behold, he is coming, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 And who will abide the day of his coming? or who will withstand at his appearing? for he is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers. 3 He shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness. 4 And the sacrifice of Juda and Jerusalem shall be pleasing to the Lord, according to the former days, and according to the former years.

5 And I will draw near to you in judgment; and I will be a sift witness against the witches, and against the adulteresses, and against them that swear falsely by my name, and against them that keep back the hireling's wages, and them that oppress the widow, and afflict orphans, and that wrest the judgment of the stranger, and fear not me, saith the Lord Almighty.

Robbing God

6 For I am the Lord your God, and I am not changed:

7 but ye, the sons of Jacob, have not refrained from the iniquities of your fathers: ye have perverted my statutes, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, saith the Lord Almighty. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

8 Will a man insult God? for ye insult me. But ye say, Wherein have we insulted thee? In that the tithes and first-fruits are with you still. 9 And ye do surely look off from me, and ye insult me. 10 The year is completed, and ye have brought all the produce into the storehouses; but there shall be the plunder thereof in its house: return now on this behalf, saith the Lord Almighty, see if I will not open to you the torrents of heaven, and pour out my blessing upon you, until ye are satisfied. 11 And I will appoint food for you, and I will not destroy the fruit of your land; and your vine in the field shall not fail, saith the Lord Almighty. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a desirable land, saith the Lord Almighty.

The Book of Remembrance

13 Ye have spoken grievous words against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye said, Wherein have we spoken against thee? 14 Ye said, He that serves God labours in vain: and what have we gained in that we have kept his ordinances, and in that we have walked as suppliants before the face of the Lord Almighty? 15 And now we pronounce strangers blessed; and all they who act unlawfully are built up; and they have resisted God, and yet have been delivered.

16 Thus spoke they that feared the Lord, every one to his neighbour: and the Lord gave heed, and hearkened, and he wrote a book of remembrance before him for them that feared the Lord and reverenced his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that serves him not. — Malachi 3 | Brenton's Septuagint Translation (BST) The English translation of The Septuagint by Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton (1851) Cross References: Exodus 19:5; Exodus 22:22; Exodus 32:32; Leviticus 26:3; Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 23:19; 2 Chronicles 7:1; 2 Chronicles 7:12; Nehemiah 13:11-12; Psalm 4:5; Psalm 34:15; Psalm 51:19; Psalm 58:2; Psalm 141:4; Isaiah 43:22; Isaiah 46:12; Isaiah 58:3; Isaiah 61:9; Isaiah 62:4; Jeremiah 7:25-26; Jeremiah 44:18; Hosea 2:21; Joel 1:4; Haggai 1:11; Zechariah 5:3; Malachi 2:2; Matthew 3:10; Matthew 11:10; Matthew 11:14; 1 Corinthians 3:13; James 1:17; James 4:8; James 5:4; 1 Peter 2:9

“I killed wizard’s filth like you all my life, I killed them with guns, and bombs, and knives, and gas, and when I didn’t have any of those I just got in real close and put my thumbs through their fucking eyes. You can flick that little skewer around all you like, boy. I’ll choke you with it.”

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??

[brandyschillace]

I’m copy-editing my book on the first #LGBTQ (gay/ #trans) rights movement, circa 1900-1933. It begins with hope for a new century. It ends with Nazis. And it looks like 2000-2023, with an election to determine if our remaining ten years will bend toward justice or #fascism. INTERMEDIARIES, May 2025

The book tracks 4 things, which intersect in ways profound and political. 1. discovery of hormones and the idea that “sex” was a moving target 2. discovery of genes and subsequent rise of eugenics 3. The first gay rights movement 4. A campaign against women, gays and Jews that became Nazi fascism.

It required deep dive into Berlin archives, which occurred in the midst of covid and Russian invasion of Ukraine. It meant translating and hunting down ephemera, it required the good offices of many researchers, academic and non academic, to help compile the most comprehensive and accurate account

It saw the retrieval of a lost story—that of Dora Richter, the first to ever undergo gender affirmation surgery—and then! The discovery that she did not die in the Nazi purge. She is—was—remains: the girl who lived. (Take that, JKR.) It has been the hardest book I’ve ever written. I spent more than my first advance just gathering all the resources, I went quite literally into debt for it. But I hope it will also be the best book I’ve written so far.

Sometimes I wonder if it wasn’t just that Pyrrha saw Wake and thought of Gideon. Maybe Gideon saw Wake and thought of Pyrrha too.

I’m convinced a GTN movie adaptation would be proof we’re in the dark timeline, but I may watch it if the first scene is Wake giving birth then begging Gideon #1 not to push her out of the airlock

(Mystic Code Book Q&A Chapters 1 & 7)

Thinking about these questions in relationship to panels like these

(Chapter 28)

and how utterly gross Ray must have felt when fragments of headquarters flashed in his mind where he was paraded around by sisters to demons as 81194 after they would specifically come to check on 73584's offspring and muse he was progressing as was expected of her progeny.

not to try and pull a bigolas dickolas wolfwood on here but if you are looking for something to soothe your rogue heroes brain worms you SHOULD go read this right now I AM very serious

it's beautiful it's heartbreaking it will make you want to chew glass. it's about love and hope and the horrors of war and let me tell you very few things will make you as insane as reading this when you are super sleep deprived on a train and you are listening to The Green Fields of France
