Ok here’s a rant
CW because it’s talking about recent events involving the death of a non binary teen due to transphobia
I really , really , really fail to see how Judaism and Christianity could be queer accepting. The people who are actively pushing the trans-panic in the west are from both of these religions. Their rhetoric has led to the harassment and d0xxing of multiple people and have recently led to the death of a non binary teen in Oklahoma.
How can we say that Christianity or Judaism are somehow “different” from the queerphobia we see these days or that the queerphobes arent “real Jews/Christians”. Both of these religions share some of their scripture and if you want here’s the part that endorses transphobia:
Deuteronomy 22:5 [The Contemporary Torah] [21st Century KJV]
“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for all who do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God”
“A woman must not put on man’s apparel, nor shall a man wear woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is abhorrent to your God יהוה.”
Remember calming cat? Remember when tumblr was this color? If you don’t that’s fine. I just feel old and alone.
i need y'all to understand something about the real world: sometimes, you cannot avoid complicity. sometimes, the only way to get something really fucking important done is to shake hands with people who have shaken hands with baddies.
because sometimes? the alternative is failure. failure which leads to fucked results that hurt people and ruin society, long-term.
now, i'm not saying the Concept Art Association isn't playing with fire. i'm not even saying it's guaranteed they'll protect artists from tech's egregious, illegal, harmful misuse of AI Art technology.
i don't know if it's going to work. but i'd rather bet on a horse that can win. if you won't—because you think that makes you a good person—newsflash: it doesn't.
it makes you immature and ignorant.
your ideal society where good causes don't vaguely brush against bad brands is a fairytale. bad brands have their hands in everything that works. do the math.
GUYS. DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN WRITE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE FICS ON AO3
Like imagine crying on the couch and you hear his thunderous, big body SUV built ass footsteps approach you.
"Baby, what's wrong," he says tenderly as he rubs your shoulder.
You look up to explain how bad your day was with tears in your eyes and you fucking see this:
I made a small drabble based on this
Quora Atheists TM will insist that the New Atheist movement is just atheists “finally standing up for themselves” but every time they hear someone mention anything to do with religion they’re all “SPOOPERSTITION! MAKE-BELIEBE! HAHAHAHA YOU ARE DUMB FOR EVEN MENTIONING RELIGION! UNGA BUNGA CAVEMAN! I AM VERY INTELLIGENT!”
I wish I was making it up, but I genuinely see that kind of response over and over whenever there’s a question on Quora that even mentions religion, and I am barely exaggerating
There’s a question about w*ndigoag and 90% of the answers call the belief “another laughable superstition” and go out of their way to mock the idea that saying the name might be a bad thing
Any time someone asks about the Torah or the Old Testament, it’s basically guaranteed that the answers will be full of people talking about “bronze age superstitions”
I once answered a question about religion, making it clear that I’m an atheist while trying my best to answer the question respectfully, and I literally got a comment in all caps, talking about how religion is fake and was invented by cavemen, and featuring the phrase “unga bunga”
You’re not “standing up for yourself” you’re going out of your way to be a dick
a raven father (i call him "pants") I've been feeding sometimes likes to sit outside my window and either wait for more food or just listen to the stuff I'm watching while I draw. Today's a colder day so he likes to fluff up a bit, and I kid you not :
this is an accurate representation of my view
