what is this cockknockery?

went into the hellraiser 2022 tag and it was full of people being horny for this random white human dude in the movie.

i'm sorry, i thought i was on the monsterf*cking website and i'm disappointed in all of you.

angels, deciding what shape to take when interacting with The Humans: well….eye contact is important to humans, right? they find it reassuring when they can see the eyes of the person they’re talking to. so if we have LOTS of eyes, in very visible places, that’ll be even MORE reassuring

can’t stop thinking how much sense it would make if every design choice angels made was just a misguided attempt to Relate To The Humans. imagine how those conversations went

#and this is why angels got so boring in the new testament after the Updated Guidelines were rolled out. “Four limbs???? i’m only allowed a maximum of FOUR LIMBS????? this is BULLSHIT”

#alternatively all the reported sightings of creepy ass angels was literally just the SAME angel  #just the same freak who kept changing its meatsuit for funsies before god caught on

ok i have REFINED my theory!

Old Testament Angels look like that because life in the ocean outnumbered life on land, so naturally when they visited earth they modeled their appearance on the most common lifeforms. Hench you get things like

in the majority of inhabited Earth areas (i.e. anything deeper than the continental shelf) old school angels would actually pass as Normal And Relatably-Shaped Lifeforms

this checks out

I think you all need to know the actual reason that seraphim have six wings–with two they covered their faces and with two they covered their feet and with two they flew–because it’s awesome.

So, first thing, in most of the Hebrew Bible nobody can look directly at God’s face and live. God is simply too amazing/great/alien. You see God’s face, you die, not because God wants to kill you (God doesn’t!) but just … because it’s the inevitable result of contact with God’s holiness. (This is responsible for such incidents as the time God mooned Moses. Moses wanted reassurance, and asked to see God. God said, “well, you can’t see my face, but how about this. You hide in that crevice in the rock over there, and I’ll cover you up so you’re safe, and then I’ll pass by, and when I’m safely past you can look at my back, k?” And that’s how it happened.)

Anyway, even angels can’t bear to look at God, which is why the seraphim cover their faces in God’s presence. All the weird stuff you all have just been attributing to angels? Can be applied to God with at least as much plausibility.

And then we come to the seraphim covering their feet. Or, perhaps I should say “feet.” Because the Hebrew language, like many languages, has some euphemisms for genitalia. One of them is to call them “feet” or “hands.” This is how, for example, Ruth gets Boaz to marry her. She goes in and lays down at his “feet.” Wink wink, nudge nudge.

So when Isaiah tells us the seraphim are flying around covering their “feet” with a pair of wings, what they’re actually doing is this:

Gaud: makes a weird theory

The Bible: is somehow even weirder

ok folks

I don’t think I actually have to spell this out

but there will be no prophesying, speculating, speaking into existence, etc about next year

no “I feel really great about next year,” no “I’d love more time at home to work on my hobbies,” no “surely it can’t be any weirder than 2020,” nothing

I am so ready for the first of Halloween.

Give a ghost the right pair of shoes and they’ll conquer the world.

Super hot where I am today, so have a summer spook.

Send me pics of your ghost costumes :> 

Why is everyone into dom ghosts…?

If youve ever said something nice to me and i never replied I apologize! Unfortunately i am a neurotic prey animal and your message was nice enough to make me scurry under my leaf mold and hold still to camouflage myself until the danger passed

Been a rough couple days for one of our favorite cats, send Miette some good thoughts.

TREMENDOUS news

Happiness for Miette!

You DRUG Miette? You lace her lizard with the HALLUCINOGEN??

Are we at the burning man??

Tripping balls for Miette. Tripping balls for Miette for 36 hours.

i understand the whole “it’s offensive to ask a woman if she’s on her period just because she’s nervous” thing but i also think we should start saying more that yes, periods can in fact make you tired and nervous (and you’d be nervous too if you were going on about your daily activities while bleeding and battling with cramps) and maybe instead of making an unfunny joke about it you should try to be more sympathetic towards someone who’s clearly having a difficult day for reasons outside their control. like idk i think i should be able to say “yeah today i’m super tired because my period just started” the same way i’d say “yeah i’m super off today because i slept badly / have a headache / whatever” and have guys just go “okay fair” instead of acting either like i said the most icky and disgusting thing ever or like it’s okay to make an unfunny sexist joke about it

As you might have noticed, we’re beta-testing something new: Tumblr Post+. What’s Post+? A big deal, for starters. Post+ is our new subscription feature that allows you to use our existing multi-media post form to create unique paid feeds or support other blogs by subscribing to theirs. Fear not, Tumblr will always be free to use, this is just a way to continue to empower unique voices and throw a little coin to your favorite artists, fanfic writers, or maybe even that one mashup Supernatural/Studyblr blog you’ve been following since 2016.

(3 a.m. infomercial voice) But wait, there’s more. We want to know every possible way we can make Post+ the best experience for you and your community. To do that, we’d love to hear from you. Specifically, we want your thoughts on how you’d use a feature that provides a feed of exclusive posts on Tumblr. What would you like to see? Don’t be shy 👉👈. Get in touch. Do it often, if you like. We’re excited to hear your thoughts. And keep your eyes on this space (go ahead now, click follow ☝️). Teamwork makes the dream work, etc.

don't know why this post disappeared when I tried to reblog it the first time, but here, I did your survey :)

Adding onto this

Everyone do this actually, we all don't want this to become a thing, so fill out their survey and tell them exactly why. This is the official means of giving our feedback, use it.

Oh hey I finally found the actual announcement.

Holy shit please do not do this. This is the most disorganised disaster I’ve ever seen and all they’re going to do is get vulnerable people fired. Do not go on strike as an individual. Do not do not do not. The point of a strike is collective action to show the collective power of workers.

It is not enough to say that the NLRB has made vague gestures at showing that a non-union strike is theoretically possible. If you get fired illegally and you’re not part of a union, who’s going to pay for your employment tribunal? You? Unless you’re aware of how expensive tribunals can be and have that money set to the side, you’re opening yourself up to a world of hurt.

This is genuinely the most dangerous, nonsensical thing I’ve seen on this website in a long, long time. Do not do this. Do not mistake masturbatory individualistic action for a collective movement.

If you would like to find a way to seriously stick it to your bosses, speak to your coworkers, organise an actual union in your workplace (if you need pointers on this, don’t be afraid to reach out — I’ve done it before and would be happy to share pointers!). If you want public healthcare, get involved in any of the myriad campaigns for single payer going on. But do not, do not welcome unnecessary risk into your life like this.

Seriously, this is so incredibly sus. You do not just organize a general strike on a national scale by sending out a tweet and slapping together a website with no relevant information. At best, this is a well-intentioned but dangerously misguided social media activism move. At worst, this is an intentional disinformation campaign to undermine the labor movement. Do your research and learn your history before getting involved in stuff like this- the consequences are very real

I’m not passing around blame but this feels like a consequence of social media activism misunderstood as organizing. It rarely if ever is. Social media can be introductory, informative, and discursive, but you can’t organize workers by announcing what they should be doing

Trust me on this one: it's a total shit show. It's Dashcon levels of shit show. I wrote a post expanding on what I found on 7/19/21 and since then the people running this thing have had two massive shakeups.

The coordinators are changing usernames and profile pictures to shake off the negative screenshots. The oldest coordinator at the present moment is 23 and I don't think any of them have any experience organizing anything.

There are no unions backing this. They don't have any money for legal funds or compensation if you lose your job.

These people aren't bad, but they are young and have no experience.
