I don’t know how anyone could watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and not come away with a deep and abiding respect and admiration for the strength and capability of women.

In the OT there are these idols called Ashera Poles. In that text specifically, they promote fertility. Like Ba’al and Moloch, they’re representative of Israel resisting God and making their own way into their own ruin. So the conservatives are gettin real precious about birth rates, huh?

I think I would have felt more secure in my masculinity as I grew up, if I had the terminology to refer to them as “boy bazongas” instead.

We’ll have made it once someone sells a VR/AR headset that looks like the helmets Daft Punk wears. I don’t wanna look like an early adopter weirdo. I wanna look BIGGER BETTER FASTER STRONGER.

The real problem with the old Lilo and Stitch movie is that it presumes Nani benefitted from a queer couple helping raise her younger sister at the end. That’s why they changed it.

My favorite questions to ask are not Normal People questions, but one day I will ask someone “do you know more about [insert thing] than me” and they will respond “yes” and that will make all of this worth it.

In a place where there are no men, strive to be a man. Pirkei Avot 2:5

I wonder how many lives were saved because one of My Chermical Romance’s biggest hits crescendos on “I am not afraid to keep on living” and any fan would betray themselves if they didn’t sing along and physically have to belt that specific line.

"gotta admit, Mussolini made the trains run on time." can you imagine Trump making the trains run on time? brother he will not be doing that. he will not be giving us the autobahn.

I feel like learning how to sing in that snarling furious howl Ramses had in the second verse of The Ten Plagues would finally fix me.

“Praise be unto my lord? More like praise be unto Malört” the pope probably

I hope little fellas know how valuable they are in American product marketing. They make all the products look so big!

I wonder where America’s Nuremberg is gonna be.

“Bustin’ makes me feel good”

Wondering how many “toxic masculinity” traits can be easily rebranded “bratty bottom” and I fear its all of them.

Maybe God delights in teaching us the same message over and over in the same way we like playing peek-a-boo with babies. Over and over God can see our joy as we find his face, as though for the first time, every time.

The biggest problem facing the American Church, the BIGGEST, is that NONE OF THESE WEIRDOS are able to SPELL MY NAME RIGHT. IT’S MICAH LIKE IN THE BIBLE. THE ONE YOU CLAIM TO READ.

Just remembered that at some point last week I told someone that I like immigrants. Just, like, as a concept? The US is a nation of immigrants, myself included when you count very few generations. And realized later that in middle America this is a bit of a hot take these days. Criminy.

Thank god i didn’t become a lawyer because I’d absolutely say “this is a law that’s been around since the book of Leviticus” like way too often. Mostly in relation to compensation to personal injury. It would not play, no one would like it, but i wouldn’t stop either.

One comfort with tech-weirdos asking American citizens to breeeeed so the workforce remains abundant and cheap is that it means that no one is close to the sort of cloning tech that will Brave New World everything.

I’d feel better about speculative markets if they didn’t use the same currency I pay my bills with. Like call it something else, give people poker chips or something. But also I don’t mean crypto? Idk. It’s just very different activities going on to both be called “money.”

Oh to be a data analyst as a hobby and thread/toot/bloosk things like “upon the news of Columbia declaring its refusal to be a vassal state, views of the film Encanto on Disney+ rose a 15%, compared to the previous Tuesday hashtag activism.”

Everyone reading the Colombian President

To put it simply, if our cars looked any good these days, we’d have more movies about cannonball runs, or animated rock adventures with astronauts driving corvettes. Those cars looked better and people of the time KNEW IT.

My mind’s telling me news focuses on rents and student loan numbers double what I’ve seen because storytelling prefers larger numbers for emphasis. But my body MY BODY MY BODYYYYYYY Is telling me that the news still focuses on the upper-middle class in its scope and leaves the rest of us behind.

The difficulty in saying that the Bible “makes sense” and that anyone can figure out what it means just from a plain word interpretation, is that it provides no room for those that actually read the thing and saw how strange it is.

today has been a rollercoaster for t-rex, vis-a-vis the tunes and the chipping thereof qwantz.com/index.php?co...

some buds act like it is so hard to love but it is so easy. you just do nothing. in the absence of all things, we just love. it is what we are built to do. just strip off everything else, all the baggage, and love is underneath

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Today may be scary, but now it's up to us to be the heroes we need to see in our communities. Our institutions and elected leaders have failed to prevent this moment, but if we work together to stand up for our friends and neighbors we can make a big difference.

Church growing up: “Slow obedience is no obedience!” Jesus, around 99 perfectly good sheep, completely able to afford losing one stubborn sheep: *sighs and picks up walking stick* “I guess I’m going after ‘im, then.”
