Gewilde keepster Luna Spin uitgenodigd door PEC Zwolle en SC Heerenveen

Dat Luna Spin (2008) zich heeft ontwikkeld is wel duidelijk. Haar eerste stappen bij ons op het veld waren op vrijdag 8 juni 2018. Inmiddels zijn we bijna 5 jaar verder. En wat we zien is echt fantastisch. Ze heeft echt enorme stappen gemaakt. In rap tempo heeft ze zich in de kijker gespeeld bij de KNVB selecties en traint ze ook al bij FC Groningen. Van haar toenmalige club Gieterveen heeft ze…

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … April 9

1476 – Italy: Leonardo Da Vinci and three other young men are accused of sodomy anonymously, but subsequently acquitted.

1821 – The French poet Charles Baudelaire (d.1867), a central figure in nineteenth-century French literature, was born on in Paris (d.1867). Two collections of Baudelaire's poetry continue to intrigue and influence writers: Les fleurs du mal (Flowers Of Evil, 1857) and Le spleen de Paris (Paris Spleen, 1869). In the latter collection, published posthumously, he essentially invented the "prose poem." For a while lived the modish life of a literary dandy on an inheritance from his father, reluctantly joining the Paris boheme when his fortune ran dry.

Speculation continues about his personal life. Some early writers suggested that he died a virgin; many others now believe that he died of syphilis acquired in 1841. He had complicated relations with Jeanne Duvall, a prostitute; Madame Sabatier, a courtesan for the wealthy and socially prominent; and Marie Daubrun, an actress. The poems Duvall inspired portray her as both the apex of beauty and the nadir of evil.

Lesbianism fascinated Baudelaire. He even considered naming his first book of poems Les lesbiennes. "Lesbos," from Les fleurs du mal, celebrates lesbian love and evokes Sappho, who is described as both "mannish" and "beautiful." Further, the speaker challenges the authorities who would "dare" judge those who inhabit Lesbos. Even the gods would not dare to judge these women, he asserts.

Two other poems called "Femmes damnées" also explore lesbianism. Here the lovers, with their disordered souls, must suffer in a world wound tight with rules. The bourgeois considers such women demonic; that alone makes them fascinating to Baudelaire.

Male homosexuality does not receive this kind of direct treatment; gay men can find no equivalent "Lesbos" in his work.

He was probably homosexual himself, or at least Marcel Proust thought so, as did Andre Gide, Roger Peyrefitte, and many others. The floppy cravat that Baudelaire affected became all the rage of European dandies and homosexuals during the first decades of the 20th century, gays having adopted him as their very own at an early date.

1909 – the Australian dancer, actor, director and choreographer Sir Robert Helpmann CBE was born on this date (d.1986). Born Robert Murray Helpman, he added the extra 'n' to avoid his name having 13 letters, at the suggestion of the dance diva Anna Pavlova, who was a devotee of numerology.

He was born in Mount Gambier and also boarded at Prince Alfred College in Adelaide, South Australia. The Helpmann Academy in South Australia, a partnership of the major visual and performing arts education and training institutions in South Australia offering award courses for people seeking professional careers in the arts, was named in his honor.

in 1932 he went to London. He joined the Sadler's Wells, later the Royal Ballet and was a principal dancer from 1933 to 1950. He established a great partnership with Margot Fonteyn, and together with choreographer Frederick Ashton, created many great roles, whilst also occasionally undertaking straight acting roles. Helpmann and Fonteyn toured the United States as principal dancers with the Royal Ballet in 1949 and caused a sensation, making stars of them all.

In 1938, Helpmann met a young Oxford undergraduate while fulfilling an invitation to dance at the university. Immediately drawn to the handsome and intelligent Michael Benthall, the pair formed a relationship that was to last for 36 years until the English theatre director Benthall's untimely death in 1974. The couple lived and often worked together quite openly for the time.

In 1965 Helpmann returned to Australia to become co-director of the Australian Ballet. Since he was Gay and flamboyant, his arrival in what was at that time a very conservative country caused some consternation. Australians were proud of his international fame, but not sure what to make of him personally. His most significant contribution to the development of theatre in Australia was his time with the Australian Ballet. The avant-garde nature and sexual overtones of much of his work unsettled many Australians. He did not endear himself with the comment: "I don't despair about the cultural scene in Australia because there isn't one here to despair about."

Helpmann's obituaries in the Australian media were suitably laudatory, but also reserved. The country paid him the highest final recognition it could by honouring him with a state funeral in Sydney, the eulogy calling him "a genius, an outstanding communicator of unique inspiration and insight. He asserted his rights to pursue a path that improved the quality of life of the nation, and defeated the common herd of detractors." An obituary in The Times in London, characterised his appearance as "strange, haunting and rather frightening", and portrayed him as "a homosexual of the proselytizing kind" whose impact upon a company was "dangerous as well as stimulating", creating fresh headlines in Australia.

1929 – The Utah Supreme Court, although upholding the constitutionality of the 1925 sterilization law, rules that a prisoner caught in the act of consensual sodomy with another prisoner, and who is described as "acting lovingly toward other boys in the prison," can not be sterilized for that reason alone.

1948 – Bernard-Marie Koltès was a French playwright and director (d.1989).

Born to a middle-class family in Metz, his life was violent and anchored in revolt. He took off from home at 20 for a nomadic writing life that began with a stay in New York in 1968. For a social rebel seeking an uninhibited gay experience, the timing was perfect. He returned to New York frequently until his death in 1989. He he had tried his hand at writing as a youth but renounced it, and didn't take to the stage until the age of twenty. He first garnered recognition for his work on a production of Medea (Médée) in 1970.

After seeing the film actress Maria Casarès, he was inspired and resumed writing, completing around ten plays in his lifetime. His first piece, the long monologue, The Night Just Before The Forests, was staged in 1977 at the Avignon Festival, and subsequent productions were put on in collaboration with director Patrice Chéreau.

Koltès's work, based in real-life problems, expresses the tragedy of being alone and of death. Koltes is most famous for The Night Just Before the Forests (La Nuit juste avant les Forêts, 1976), r (1977) and In the Solitude of Cotton Fields (Dans la Solitude des Champs de Coton, 1986). Many of these plays were first directed by Patrice Chereau when he was artistic director of the Théâtre des Amandiers in Nanterre. Koltes also translated into French Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale.

Genet and the absurdists influenced Koltès's writing. Like other absurdist writers, he felt exiled - in his case, as a homosexual in a heterosexual world. In Africa, he saw native cultures being wiped out by European influences. This theme brought forth Black Battles with Dogs. After a visit to America he wrote Quay West (1985), about a brother and sister in a foreign culture. The title and the opening dialogue of that play, about tempting, dangerous life in moldy warehouses on a river, recall the West Street piers of the meatpacking district, and their vast, collapsing sheds that for two decades were sex resorts for venturesome gay men.

The psychopathic killer Roberto Succo provided the inspiration for his final play Roberto Zucco. It was first performed posthumously in Berlin in 1990, directed by Peter Stein. It has since been performed across Europe and the United States.

Although he did not attempt to deny it, Kolteès only ever referred fleetingly to his homosexuality, downplaying this as a motivating factor or theme behind his writing. He was rarely forthcoming about his private life, and what he did say is often contradictory or misleading.

Koltès died in 1989 due to complications from AIDS.

1963 – Marc Jacobs is an American fashion designer. He is the head designer for Marc Jacobs, as well as Marc by Marc Jacobs, a diffusion line, with more than 200 retail stores in 80 countries. He has been the creative director of the French design house Louis Vuitton since 1997. Jacobs is on Time Magazine's "2010 Time 100" list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and ranked 12th on Out Magazine's 2011 list of "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America".

Jacobs, who is openly gay was in a four-year relationship with salesman and retired escort Jason Preston. However, in February 2008, it was reported that Jacobs was engaging in an affair with escort and porn star Erik Rhodes who died in 2012.. Later he was in a relationship with advertising executive Lorenzo Martone. In March 2009, Women's Wear Daily reported that the pair was engaged after a year of dating. Several reports that they got married were later denied. On July 24, 2010, Martone announced via Twitter that he and Jacobs had not been together for two months.

In April 2018, Jacobs proposed to his new boyfriend, Charly Defrancesco, via a flashmob while in a Chipotle restaurant. The flashmob did a routine to the song "Kiss" by Prince. They were married in a lavish wedding held in New York City in April 2019.

Jacobs and Defrancesco purchased a home in Rye, New York in April 2019. The Westchester home was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and is known as the Max Hoffman House.

1999 – Montero Lamar Hill, known by his stage name Lil Nas X, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. He rose to prominence with the release of his country rap single "Old Town Road", which first achieved viral popularity in early 2019 before climbing music charts internationally and becoming diamond certified by November of that same year, moving over ten million certified units in streaming and sales combined.

"Old Town Road" spent 19 weeks atop the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the longest-running number-one song since the chart debuted in 1958. Several remixes of the song were released, the most popular of which featured country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. As "Old Town Road" was atop the Hot 100, Lil Nas X came out as gay, becoming the only artist to do so while having a number-one record.

Montero Lamar Hill was born in Lithia Springs, Georgia. He was named after the Mitsubishi Montero. His parents divorced when he was six, and he settled in the Bankhead Courts housing project with his mother and grandmother. Three years later, he moved in with his father, a gospel singer, north of the city in Austell. Although initially reluctant to leave, he later regarded it as an important decision, "There's so much shit going on in Atlanta—if I would have stayed there, I would have fallen in with the wrong crowd." He started "using the Internet heavily right around the time when memes started to become their own form of entertainment"; about when he was 13.

He spent much of his teenage years alone, and turned to the Internet, "particularly Twitter, creating memes that showed his disarming wit and pop-culture savvy." His teenage years also saw him struggling with his coming out to himself as being gay; he prayed that it was just a phase, but around 16 or 17 he came to accept it. He began playing trumpet in the fourth grade and was first chair by his junior high years, but quit out of fear of looking uncool.

In early June 2019, Lil Nas X came out to his sister and father and he felt "the universe was signalling him to do so", despite his uncertainty whether his fans would stick by him or not. On June 30, 2019, the last day of Pride Month, Lil Nas X came out publicly as gay, tweeting: "some of y'all already know, some of y'all don't care, some of y'all not gone [fuck with me] no more. but before this month ends i want y'all to listen closely to c7osure. 🌈🤩✨" The tweet confirmed earlier suspicions when he first indicated this in his track "c7osure". Rolling Stone noted the song "touches on themes such as coming clean, growing up and embracing one's self". The next day he tweeted again, this time highlighting the rainbow-colored building on the cover art of his EP 7, with the caption reading "deadass thought i made it obvious". He was unambiguous in an interview several days later on BBC Breakfast, where he stated that he was gay and understands that his sexuality is not readily accepted in the country or rap music communities.

The response to the news was mostly positive, but also garnered a large amount of homophobic backlash on social media, to which Lil Nas X also reacted. The backlash also came from the hip hop community, drawing attention to homophobia in hip hop culture. In January 2020, rapper Pastor Troy made homophobic comments on the outfit Lil Nas X wore during the Grammy Awards, to which Lil Nas X responded: "Damn I look good in that pic on god."

In January 2023, Lil Nas X tweeted a new statement about his sexual orientation, writing "be [for real] would y’all be mad at me if i thought i was a little bisexual". The next day, he tweeted "that was my last time coming out the closet i promise".

As resident dundyologist I have a question to ask if it's not to much trouble. Sunday as far as I am aware was born in Jersey so did he speak jèrriais at all?

Hello! I am always glad to field questions about Henry TD Le Vesconte, to the best of my abilities. I think there's an autocorrect mistake in your ask—do you mean Dundy, not Sunday? Henry TD Le Vesconte was born in Netherton, Devon and his mother was a local girl (so he would have spoken English natively, even if he was bilingual).

His father, Henry "no middle names" Le Vesconte, was baptised in Jersey (Société Jersiaise 1932 bulletin), and there is conflicting information on Ancestry.com and in the Le Vesconte family records in St. John's Newfoundland regarding his birth year and birth place. Even if he was born in Stoke Damerel, Devon (which I think is correct), he had deep Jersey roots.

I don't know if Henry Le Vesconte, father or son, could speak Jèrriais. Circumstantial evidence suggests they could both speak French. There is a letter from Henry TD Le Vesconte to his father dated 17 October 1844 in which he ponders "going for a month or two into France with my old friend Philip Helpman – now a commander" (a fellow Opium War vet, not a known relative of Franklin expedition clerk E.J.H. Helpman). Maybe HTD Le Vesconte was willing to spend months in France without being able to speak the language, certainly other English tourists did, but he had francophone family. An 1836 letter mentions his younger brother Philip spending time in France, and Henry adds, "he talks of going over again in the summer. I should not dislike the trip if they would ask me."

I could swear I came across another reference from HTD Le Vesconte in which he talks about visiting France/speaking French and just spent a dizzying amount of time trying to find it; but this still doesn't answer your question!

tl;dr: I don't know, sorry! All of his archived letters are in English, and I am unsure of his fluency in other languages.

Onder grote belangstelling is donderdag 16 mei jl. het eerste exemplaar van het boek Oude en nieuwe werken over de Helperlinie uitgereikt door wethouder Rik van Niejenhuis. Aanleiding voor het maken van het boek was de opgraving van een deel van de Helperlinie bij de bouw van het appartementen-complex aan de Kempensberg. Bewoners Ewa Soroka en George Moggré namen het eerste exemplaar in ontvangst. De rode draad in het boek Oude en nieuwe werken is een serie verhalen over personen die op hele uiteenlopende manieren betrokken zijn bij de linie. In combinatie met een schat aan uniek historisch beeld- en kaartmateriaal komen de ‘Oude en nieuwe werken’ op en rond de Helperlinie in deze publicatie (weer) tot leven. Het boek is verkrijgbaar in boekhandels Van der Velde en Godert Walter. Populaire wandelingen De georganiseerde wandeling lang de Helperlinie onder leiding van archeologen, waren enorm in trek. Er was meer belangstelling dan plek. Daarom organiseren we in het kader van open monumentendag in het weekend van 14 en 15 september een nieuwe reeks wandelingen. Wandeling langs de Linie van Helpman olv Froukje Veenman - Foto: Bert Lanting De Helperlinie De Linie van Helpman was een uitbreidingswerk van de vesting rond de binnenstad. Delinie liep dwars over de Hondsrug. De Linie was na het beleg in 1672 van de roemruchte ‘Bommen Berend’ aan het einde van de 17e eeuw aangelegd. Het heeft zijn diensten echter nooit hoeven bewijzen, maar dat maakt de geschiedenis van dit grote bouwwerk niet minder bijzonder. De Vestingwet van 1874 is een belangrijk moment geweest in de stadsontwikkeling van diverse Nederlandse steden. Groningen vormde daarop geen uitzondering. Niet alleen leidde deze wet tot het afbreken van de verdedigingswerken rond de binnenstad van Groningen, ook de Helperlinie mocht worden afgebroken.

First Baptist Church (1855) - 101 W Franklin St, Troy, Ohio by Jaci Starkey

Via Flickr:

The church was built in 1855 by Andrew Helpman. The interior of the building, however, was not completed until 1866. It has many stained-glass windows that were funded by church worshipers. The design of windows seems to be in a style of the 1860s. Names of church worshipers are on the windows, but those names may have been added to the windows sometime after the windows were installed in the building. Most of those worshipers died in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

Corey and Oats in… ‘Hope is Not Microbial’ a Creepypasta parody adventure.

NOTE: This story is one I have done to make fun of people who think stuff like transformation and stories featuring real people are creepy and in particular anyone who has made fun of my Dan Aykroyd stories, if you are of an overly sensitive disposition or are overzealous of the famous people in question you should leave the room.

Everyone knows the Corey and Oats adventures but did you know there was a lost episode of it? Well now you do, and our favorite duo were at Nile Road looking at scary stories when they came across as a ‘lost tv special’ on the Lost Media wiki and they heard it was banned for being graphic and terrifying so they sought out a copy of it, they tried Youtube but could only find bits of it and it was the censored version, so they tried numerous other sites.

“I wonder why this special was banned.”

“Maybe we’ll find out.”

Corey was checking the emails when he got an email from someone who claimed that they had an actual copy of the lost tv special on file. ‘Is this a joke?’ the microbe asked. ‘No joke, I have a genuine copy of this special just for you and Oats to see.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘Just click on the link here.’

Thinking this was a spam message he didn’t want to click on it but he did, and he was worried…he played the video file, the video file read ‘Lost TV special, for your eyes only.’, he clicked on it and watched the special.

The special seemed to be some kind of meta story about a fan of Dan Aykroyd writing a story about someone turning into Dan only to be berated by someone who was accusing him of fetishizing a real person and his ‘dead best friend’. ‘Well that person is absolutely detestable.’ Corey said to himself.

As the special went on…the person berating the fanfiction writer became more and more deranged, attempting to villify the creator only to be humiliated badly. The author minded his own business, but he was starting to look different somehow. ‘Is it me or is the video acting up?’

Oats also watched as the author pulled at parts of his face and pulled it off as if he was Maty from Poultergeist, revealing the author was Dan Aykroyd. Aykroyd looked a bit different than usual, he had black eye-makeup around his eyes and glowing eyes, he looked like he was face-painted as some kind of undead character.

The person who berated the author was then seen with the Child-catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Spamton, the man from Suicide Shop and Martin Short. The weird thing was that all of Short’s characters were there too. Loud screams were heard as the Killer Klowns from Killer Klowns from Outer Space burst through the wall.

The Childcatcher screamed in a way that sounded realistic as he saw Mishima Tuvache being sliced in half, and it really sounded like the Childcatcher’s actor the late Robert Helpman was really being tortured. Jack Frost from the Santa Clause 3: The Escape Claus tried to stop the clowns as did the other Martin Short characters only for them to be turned into cotton candy cocoons.

Jack screamed as he was looking around, his friends had been all cocooned up and he felt himself being drained of his energy as Shorty and Jumbo slurped up his cold blood with bendy straws. Mishima attempted to make a run for it only to get sliced into pieces by Dan…’The French really do like to CUT to the chase.’ He quipped. He looked over at Ed Grimley…’I must say this is completely mental.’ ‘And I must say shut up.’ He snapped.

Dan charged towards Ed and used some dark powers to send him flying towards a wall of spikes, which impaled him in the chest and caused his guts to spill right out of it, he picked up Ed’s intestines and wore them. He then looked at the Spamton and infected him with a virus that made him develop warts all over his body and caused him to explode, the Childcatcher was the only character left.

“Looks like the catcher is about to be caught.”

The Child-catcher panicked, screaming as he did so, he attempted to run and hide in several of the rooms only to run into multiple versions of Dan. ‘You’ve got nowhere to run, now.’ Dan went over to him and filled him up, fattening him up with dangerous candy. ‘Now don’t these sweets taste so good?’ ‘Oh yes, I mean no…stop it, stop it, please.’ ‘Taste the sweet taste of death, creep.’ With highly explosive candy that made him swell up and burst into a million pieces…’Noooo!’

“Oh, parting is such sweet sorrow.”

‘Dan, you killed my dream husbando. You monster….you sick freak, no normal human would act like this.’ ‘You ain’t normal either.’ Dan sneered as he grabbed the overzealous fan who berated him earlier and began to use dark magic to torture him, contorting his slender looking body into that of a grotesque demon with a massive stomach with a monstrous maw with sharp teeth on it.

“Dan, this isn’t fair…you’re supposed to totally love me.”

‘You don’t care for me, you only want to keep me away from everyone, you view me as a possession, you think you can control me, but you are wrong.’ ‘No i’m not, and you can go screw yourself.’ ‘But I am right and you will never be,, you will forever be stuck in your nightmare. You act like you love me but you only view me as your possession, your toy, your object, you can be a fan as much as you want but you cannot control me or own me, I will never love you.’

The person broke down in tears as he begged for forgiveness…’Look, I didn’t mean it, i’ll do anything to make this stop.’ ‘Too late for you now..tell John I said hi.’

Dan pulled him closer and used his dark powers on him even more, taking over his body and manipulating him like he was a human ventriloquist dummy. ‘Everyone, I want you to meet my new dummy.’ ‘I am not your dummy.’ ‘You ARE now.’

The man panicked and attempted to stop Dan only for Dan to silence him before ripping out his spine Mortal Kombat style…’You know what I always say, don’t diss other people’s kinks if you don’t have the spine for it.’ He pulled out what appeared to be a de-skinning machine and he tossed the man onto it, which caused the man’s skin to peel off in a graphic manner as blood dripped all over the floor. ‘You get what you deserve, kid. Simp over Marty and NOT me will you? Well then you don’t deserve anything.’

Martin Short was the only one left, he looked over at Dan and begged…’Dan, please don’t do this, I know the Dan Aykroyd I know wouldn’t do this, please don’t do this.’ ‘Sorry Marty, but I have to, i’m sure Steve can find someone else.’ ‘Nooo, Steve needs me.’ Dan crept over to Martin before teleporting next to him and leaping over him with inhuman agility.

With a desperate plea, Martin begged Dan not to do it but Dan was not far behind as his fingernails sharpened and he used them to rip open Martin’s shirt and he pulled out his heart and showed it to him, Martin collapsed on the floor as he died of a heart attack. ‘Tell John Candy and John Belushi I said hi.’ Dan then turned to the camera. ‘What have you just seen is a PSA on what happens when you get what isn’t real replaced with what is real. Fiction: In the stories of celebrity tf fandom someone turns into a celebrity and nobody questions it, fans act like they can control the characters. Fact: These aren’t real, these are made up, nobody ever has tried this in real life. In real life, what is written in fanfiction is fiction, so please don’t complain if an artist you like gets fetishized in stories. If you do, I will give you a personal visit you won’t forget.’

The special ended and Corey and Oats looked at the end credits..’Okay, that special was beyond messed up, what do you think?’ Oats looked over at Corey, Corey had piercing blood red eyes and his mouth was full of sharp teeth. ‘Corey?’ ‘Corey isn’t here anymore.’ The covid microbe snarled in a demonic voice.

Oats whinnied in terror as his own best friend began to chase him around the house, he looked over at Zara’s microbes and asked them for help. They warned Andrea and Neive while Oats warned the other microbes about what was going on.

Corey roared ferociously as he lurched closer and closer to his equine friend…’No Corey, don’t do this, I am your friend.’ It was then Corey snapped out of it, crying as he thought about all the good times he had been having with his equine bestie. ‘I am super sorry. I don’t know what got into me.’

“Yeah…this is creepypasta-esque.”

“Yeah, only less cliched than your typical creepypasta.”

He sobbed and as he did, Oats cradled him in his arms..’Shhh, it’s okay…that lost episode must have possessed you somehow.’ He nodded as the duo investigated the room, Corey went over to the computer and tried to delete the video file but the cursor was stuck and on the screen a video of him and Oats being trapped in the very PSA Dan was doing was playing, only with Dan controlling Corey’s body and making him go after his equine friend. ‘Is this what the episode is doing to you, pal?’ Oats asked. ‘Yes, I think so.’

Just then Mel came into the room to try and help them, as she could hear Dan’s voice…as if Dan Aykroyd himself was somehow in the house with them despite not being there and the duo looked over, they couldn’t see him but they could hear him. Corey felt afraid and as he did he let loose a piercing scream.. That is when Mel got a message on the computer saying…’Look to your left.’

Mel looked to the left and that is where she saw Dan Aykroyd himself…’Dan! You had us scared half to death, and look what you did to Corey.’ ‘I am sorry, I just wanted to help you guys find the lost tv special I was in and now I realize that what I have done wasn’t right, there is a reason that special in its original form shouldn’t have seen the light of day. If I knew that it was evil I wouldn’t have done this.’ ‘It’s alright, it’s alright.’

Dan apologized and hugged the koala-girl and her friends as they looked around, ‘We need to perform a ritual to dispose of the lost special once and for all.’ ‘Yes, we should.’ The group all gathered together at the table in the lounge for an exorcism as Oats brought the computer in and opened the file up.

Mel and Dan both chanted the exorcism incantation together along with Oats and Corey and the power of the combined exorcism chants caused the lost tv special to be exorcized from the computer for good, as black ooze dripped out of it as a demon burned into flames and then faded away. ‘Yep, i’ve still got it.’ Dan quipped as he saw the lost file vanish from the computer’s database. ‘Thank you so much Dan for helping. And thank you for apologizing for scaring Corey and Oats like that.’ ‘No problem.’

The dark aura that had been cast over the house due to the lost tv special’s supernatural influence vanished, returning everything to normal. ‘That was a close one.’ ‘Yeah it was.’ ‘You sure did an amazing job with this one.’ ‘Coming from you, Dan…that means a lot.’

Dan smiled at her before turning to face the duo, the duo hugged him before saying goodbye to him. He took on a spectral form and then disappeared, before telling the duo should they ever need him they can summon him, and they waved goodbye to him. ‘Well that certainly was a nightmarish adventure.’ ‘Yeah, i’ve learned never to ask for lost tv specials like that one ever again, they are cursed for a reason.’

“Come on, let’s relax and play and have a snack.”

“Good idea.”

The duo relaxed and played some games before having afternoon tea, and an hour later they had dinner, after dinner they sent an email to Jill about their adventure, they played some more games afterwards.

They had a bit of a karaoke party and after their party wrapped up they went into the bedroom and got ready for bed, Oats put on his fairy princess night-dress and matching socks while Corey put on his bat onesie and they brushed their teeth in the bathroom. They organized who would get the honor of sleeping with them that night.

Corey and Oats snuggled up with Mel and got into bed, listening to classical music and having sweet dreams and they didn’t have to worry about getting nightmares because their own nightmare was over. But the adventures certainly aren’t over.

Bewoners van flat in Groningen moeten hun huis uit door brand in brievenbus

Bewoners van flat in Groningen moeten hun huis uit door brand in brievenbus

Bewoners van een flat in de Groninger stadswijk Helpman moesten vrijdagavond hun huis uit, omdat er brand was ontstaan in de portiek. Toen de brandweer ter plaatse kwam bij de flat aan de Helper Kerkstraat, stond de portiek vol rook. Het vuur was ontstaan in een brievenbus. De brandweer wist te voorkomen dat het vuur zich verder verspreidde en was nog enige tijd bezig met ventileren. Een…

What caused you to change your mind?  Another eloquent answer that echoes my own by Stan Mitchell.

“When did you come out?” he asked. The question was asked of me at the end of a two-hour conversation I enjoyed yesterday afternoon. The young man who asked the question had recently reached out to me for help. Yesterday’s FaceTime was our first meeting. His mother and sister joined us for a portion of the time; it seemed to be productive and encouraging for all of us. As we were saying our goodbyes and just about to end our call, the question came, “Stan, when did you come out?” Rest assured, I wasn’t surprised by the question; it’s one I’ve been asked more than a few times. And, pretty sure I knew where it was coming from, I clarified, “You mean when did I come out as queer?” To which he matter-of-factly answered, “Yeah. How long ago was it when you came out and how did that go?” When I told him I wasn’t queer, that I was cis-gender and heterosexual, he looked dumbstruck. And I get it. I’ve seen that look in this very setting not infrequently. After stammering out an unplanned mix of explanation, assumption, and unnecessary apology, the young man paused and then said, “Then why? I mean, what caused you to change your mind?”

 Good question. Important question. Telling question. And although I know I don’t have to take the time to tease out the intricacies within and reasons beneath his question or his assumptions or his resulting bewilderment; I answered his question with a heart full of gratitude and a mind full of regret. I told him about a bunch of middle-aged, straight, privileged, white, male preachers like me — men like Fred Harrell, Ken Wilson, Jonathan Williams, Josh Scott, Ray D. Waters, Mark Tidd, Jeff Helpman, Jonathan Bow, Dan Collison, Aaron Van Voorhis, Adam Phillips, Tray Pruet, Jason Ashley Morriss, Colby B Martin, and many more. I explained that with all our imperfections of character and mix of motives in tow, on this matter we found something we could actually get right, something that could reasonably afford us at least a pittance of penance for all our gross blindnesses to date…blindnesses we can see, blindnesses we can’t see, and those we may never see. 

And, even more than all that, here was a chance in our middle years, before any more of our days were wasted on the trivial and self-serving, to do something that approximated the life of Jesus; to do something that indicated some sense of true caring on our part; to do something that would meaningfully cost us.I explained to my new friend, this decision for us was a coming out for sure…but not regarding our personal sexuality and gender. Instead, we came out as followers of Jesus. We came out hoping to be true Christians, real pastors, and maybe most of all just decent humans. We did not do this in disregard of our consciences and souls. We did it to save what was left of them.
