This year I'm giving up my personal social media for Lent! :) I hope y'all have a blessed and fruitful season, and I'll be back at Easter! 💚
"love is in the air" wrong! that's the buildup of static electricity before the discharge of lightning. you'll want to seek cover. quickly
This poll is for my practicing Catholic beloveds! Please only vote if you're a practicing Catholic (except for the see results option)!
Edit: autocorrect corrected whore of Babylon to whole bc apparently it's baby's first swear word 🫠
If y'all could send this to people who won't just vote see results I'd be obliged lol 🙃
should have said this to begin with but this poll was created with the mindset of like. “You move into a dorm/apartment that already has a fridge, stove, oven, and microwave, and you only have space to fit one of these other things.” If the question was like, “you’re in a hotel that has a kitchenette (only fridge & microwave)” that would probably get different answers.
I didn’t include coffee maker because, while yes there are lots of ways to make coffee without one, caffeine addiction is still rampant and a coffee make would have likely swayed the vote.
I thought you meant, like, deserted island.
But then where would you plug it in? A palm tree? Crab?

Fuck every other question about John Gaius, none of that matters. Do you think he actually only ate peanuts discreetly, the once?
John Gaius is a dirty liar who lies. That was just the only time he was caught.
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
The people in 1897 were mentally in 2030
“Gorilla Violence” is my punkabilly band name.
[ID: A scan of an old printed page, possibly from a newspaper, reading “The Best Gorilla Joke of 1897.” The joke is as follows:
Gorilla: Did you hear about the gorilla who escaped from the zoo?
Zookeeper: No, I did not.
Gorilla: That is because I am a quiet gorilla. [Muffled sounds of gorilla violence.]
my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in
…i did read some of the novels, but i couldn’t get through them entirely…
…and so i genuinely have no idea whether or not this is serious. coz i mean, obviously, it could be a joke. but it could also have legitimately happened. people who have only seen the films underestimate the amount of random things that happen in the books that could come off as utterly silly and ridiculous if removed from their context.
Haha, well, it is pretty much what happens. Sam is looking for Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol and is despairing that he will ever find him. He sits down and does what any self-respecting Tolkien character does during their moments of hopelessness and bursts into song.
It’s a really good song (ten year old Ship had it memorized) and as he begins the refrain a second time, he hears Frodo’s voice answering weakly from above. Frodo is poisoned and despairing and beaten but he is still a Hobbit and cannot resist a singalong even while on the brink of death.
I just have to reblog because it makes me laugh EVERY TIME
yeah that seems roughly correct
Hello! This is your yearly reminder for Catholics and members of other denominations with official fasting guidelines: you can absolutely abstain from the practice if it will be detrimental to your physical or mental health, and in fact you are encouraged to do so.
Catholic guidelines: "Those that are excused from fast and abstinence outside the age limits include the physically or mentally ill including individuals suffering from chronic illnesses . . . In all cases, common sense should prevail, and ill persons should not further jeopardize their health by fasting." (x)
Orthodox guidelines: "Orthodox Christians must always fast in ways that are not a detriment to one’s health (to do things that harm the body goes contrary to the faith)." (x)
This absolutely includes people currently struggling with or who have a history with eating disorders/disordered eating. There are many sacrifices you can make for Lent that don't involve triggering/worsening an illness, and I encourage you to form your Lenten practice around things that will bring you closer to God and not further into harmful behaviors. God be with you in your recovery and faith journeys.
““Lord, I believe; help my unbelief’… is the most natural and most human and most agonizing prayer in the gospels, and I think it is the foundation prayer of faith.””
