I Can Be Shaped By More Than The Things That Hurt Me

Part of Apple's new terms include "do not post incorrect things about religious texts" but even scholars of religious texts often disagree on the actual content or intent behind them. Apple has therefore declared itself the arbiter of the true word of God. 🤔

Family means the knife held against my throat is done out of love

the walking polar bear gif is already one of my favourite gifs so can you imagine the noise I made when I saw this version

Anyone else totally desensitized to the delta variant with a side of futility or is it just me. Im wearing my mask and stuff but the scale of the horror of it is just lost on me now

This image in the latest watchtower is so unhinged. I'm waiting for this to have animated gifs of the words "BUY! BUY! BUY!"

And the fucking 3d modeled Bibles?! It's insane to me for reasons I can't articulate

This is so good! I love the quirk's connections to his appearance and nickname.

Thought id share one of my other bnha au’s, my Deku themed qurik au.

THE WOODEN DOLL HERO: DEKU!

Okay but shout out to religious trauma/cult survivors who don't have the most talked about no-nuanced "I'm an atheist now" response to everything. There's definitely a sense that if you go from one state of believing in a god/religion to another that you're somehow weaker than other survivors or that you're trapped in a cycle, and whilst it is good to look for patterns found in your original religion, I don't think this is the case at all.

Like, if you worship another god now, if you found some other spiritual practice that's soothing, or if you just don't know what is out there and just kind of vaguely pray to anyone who might be out there, you're not delusional* or dictated only by your trauma. You're allowed to believe again, if you want to, in whatever helps you.

(* being delusional isn't a bad thing to be btw)

It's honestly really sad to see what Pixar has to say about the possibility of queer characters or themes in Luca. Of course they never say anything especially problematic (Mickey Rat has got to keep making that pride merch money), but it hurts to see it directly dismissed. That there is nothing relating romance at all and it's just about "misfits".

Seeing companies like Disney control animation is depressing when it feels like minorities will always be sidelined so they can be edited out overseas. I want stories that acknowledge my existence, even in subtle ways, instead of being a dirty secret that fans gather crumbs online to prove.

This isn't to say that I still don't love the queer themes in Luca, or that the director's intention for the film isn't valid. I just want more.

The reason I stay up late is because I don’t want my free time to end and tomorrow to start
