Gabriel: Stuff "we" planned for 2025? It's stuff *You* planned.
God: Wait, you don't like it?
Gabriel: Well ... I sit to the *left* of You.
God: Ahhh ... So I'm smiting the wrong side?
Gabriel: JFC.

Let them have a win, it’s special year 😂😂 I’m a fashion designer, I understand 😂😉😉

Don’t tease me with potential proper smiting.

Gabriel is that sassy. All that weird trickster energy has to come out somehow. I bet he went to play with dragons.

I've become a lot more forgiving toward the Met Gala since I learned that it was a charity benefit thing.

atomicovermind.bsky.social•5 days ago

That said, when the charity in question is oriented around flamboyant fashion and costuming, the optics are sometimes not going to be great.

kakehres.bsky.social•5 days ago

The reason it's centered around flamboyant fashion and costuming is because it's a fund raiser for the Met's Costume Institute. A wing at the museum.

It's the absolutely the most-appropriate "orientation" for a fund-raising event for that wing.

And every year people get mad at it.

atomicovermind.bsky.social•5 days ago

If you don't know that, and I didn't before earlier this year, the sheer excess can look a little tone deaf. I'm not saying they should stop it, I'm saying I wish more people knew what it was for.

kakehres.bsky.social•5 days ago

They only announce it each and every year. And people still get mad each and every year.

There are plenty of reasons to be mad at the uber-rich. A night of dress-up to benefit a museum's costume collection isn't one of them.

Peace.

Not sure a biblically-accurate angel would have room to complain about anyone else being flamboyant.

Flaming wheels are kind of last season

Funny, but also...how did I never think about whether angels have conversations with God? Presumably yes, they do?

morkandminksy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Also, if we start with the God of Abraham, do these people strike you as people who could storm the gates of heaven? I mean, check history if you think this even registers.

maggiemarbles.bsky.social•5 days ago

The celebrities who are there in the wild outfits are at work... they're part of the entertainment. The people who make their clothes, who cook the meals, and so on, are also at work. The ultra-rich, like Michael Bloomberg who are there to open their wallets, show up in regular evening clothes.

The dandy style of slavery was an interesting concept- but very difficult to pull off.

Too soon, man.

The theme this year that celebrates Black people and a specific style. Certainly not golden calf.

lesliegraystreeter.bsky.social•5 days ago

Don’t smite it during this regime when it’s Black and queer coded, please. Pick another year.

twilightstarflower.bsky.social•5 days ago

What if we smite the ones attacking the poc and queer coded? Angels used the rainbow after all.

kevinriggle.bsky.social•5 days ago

I find it so positively telling too that they’re continuing to do it despite *gestures* everything. It’s such a relief to me to see people say, “well I don’t care what the blowhard in the White House thinks, I know who *I* am”

whetstone.bsky.social•5 days ago

100%. But actually the Met Gala is never a reason for smiting, it's a charity event to keep the costume collection in good condition, and they have to fundraise this way because fashion is ✨girly✨ (ew) and therefore it's not covered under other funding.

The Met Gala is Good Actually.

lesliegraystreeter.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah I love it. They are rich every other day of the year. Let’s celebrate them doing something good with it.

epicciuto.bsky.social•5 days ago

I love it too. I just love seeing the creativity (and tsking the lack thereof)

whetstone.bsky.social•5 days ago

Totally. The very best thing about celebs (unless you're going to a concert or whatever) is watching them get All Dressed Up and either heckling or applauding, and this is even for charity! I love the Met Gala way more than the other red carpet events.

whetstone.bsky.social•5 days ago

Something about having a theme, I think. Fashion is a legit field of expertise and the history of it is interesting, so heckling people who missed the mark is way more fun because it's not just "that's not good fashion" it's "you don't know history, whiffed the theme, & ALSO that's a bad look."
