salty kisses under the sea

Really though, like we've made our cities so uncomfortable even for housed people, just in an effort to hurt the homeless. Parks and beaches close at night so homeless can't sleep there. Loitering is illegal so homeless can't sleep there. No bench at the bus stop because someone might sleep on it. No overnight parking because someone might sleep in the car there.

These laws aren't even beneficial to housed populations of the city, and they purely exist out of a) hatred for the homeless and b) an attempt to make your city look "presentable" to tourists. And it just sucks all-around.

still thinking about "decolonising" missionary work.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:

"but it's part of my religion to evangelise"

"but we need to go to Ethiopia (one of the oldest christian countries in the world) to make them the right kind of christian!"

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆

jaguars

"but..."

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆 jaguars

Also if your god were as pro-evangelism and great as you are trying to evangelise maybe you wouldn't be being eaten by jaguars in the first place, some people might see that as a sign or something

Okay but the part of the bts scenes from yesterday that's actually sticking with me the hardest is Stede saying "I'm sure we're not the only ones who want to live forever."

Like...fuck if that's not a gut punch. Stede started out the show with such a low sense of satisfaction and expectation with his own life that when he's asked if he wants to live he goes "I dunno probably?" Ed went from being passively suicidal in s1 to the entire first three episodes of s2 revolving around how he is so convinced he's unlovable that he sees no option for him other than death. These are not two people who started the show valuing their own lives.

And now they want to live forever. That's the power of queer love, queer joy, queer community, finding people who truly care for them, finding new meaning in their lives, getting to learn that life is really worth living. And that's fucking beautiful.

OFMD textposts

EDIT: A few people have pointed out my lack of credit to the gifmaker of the textpost. My sincere apologies to @blakbonnet who made the lovely gif in the first place and my apologies for posting while not in my right mind.

I am just. So weirdly tickled by this Watcher situation. Like yes, initially I was very disappointed and upset but honestly now I just think it's funny. I can't remember the last time a creator or group of creators misread the room this hard. Like they really thought they were cooking with this one. They had a countdown to this. They announced their paywalled streaming service with their whole chests and expected rapturous applause. Instead, there has been a non-stop chorus of boos and thrown tomatoes for days now. They would have probably gotten a better reaction if they had posted a video where they sprayed a dog in the eyes with soapy water.

It's all so pleasantly... low-stakes. The consequences are nonexistent. It's not like the Ned Fulmer situation, where a friend group is destroyed, real life relationships are ended, and young children are potentially subjected to the trauma of divorce. Nah, all that's happening here is three idiots will be making a lot less money than they wanted. Maybe they'll learn something, maybe they won't. Either way, they brought it entirely upon themselves, and that makes it okay to laugh at in my books. So I will!

Watcher google drive

i think the title is pretty self explanitory

Only ghost files on it atm but Mystery Files and Puppet History are next. Watcher has back pedalled on deleteing all their free content to lock it behind a pay wall but y'know what? maybe I just dont want to give them ad revenue anymore, which is evil but screw them. Also they may still back pedal on their back pedalling, which is to many pedals anyways.
