Friendly reminder that, whatever you think you know about mormonism, if you haven't read Queer Mormon Theology by Blaire Ostler you can't come anywhere close to understanding my relationship to Mormon belief and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Please don't talk to me, or my queer mormon siblings, presuming to tell us what we believe.

somehow the poor cops who we were told are simply too understaffed and underpaid because of Woke to deal with 'rampant rising crime' have found the strength to beat the shit out of college students across the whole country for peacefully saying "divest from the country killing innocent palestinians in the tens of thousands"

Scars on your body show that you have lived; scars on your heart show that you have loved.

Scars on your forearm show that once when you were twenty you got an infected cut while driving with your girlfriend through the Yukon Territory and your arm swelled up like an inflated balloon and you didn't know where to even begin trying to find a hospital or clinic so you stopped at a random house that had a red cross outside of it and the lady who lived there turned out to be a nurse and drove you to the doctor's office where the doctor was like "we gotta drain this but I don't have any anesthesia" so he told you to ball your shirt up and bite down on it while he cut you open and he drained an astonishing amount of fluid from your arm then stitched it up with a single stitch and charged you five canadian dollars for the entire affair.

technically under mormonism you cant say that one religion is inherently incorrect, because canonically god appointed different prophets for different people and often customized worship to best fit those people's spiritual needs. sure maybe many of them lost certain details they needed because that's just the march of time, but anything and everything could be a remnant of the gospel given to a different people in a different time.

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

I tried to put the most common choices to kind of see what people think. I'd really appreciate if in the notes or replies if y'all had any specific animals in mind especially birds since I just listed stuff off the top of my head. Feel free to reblog for a wider audience etc etc

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."

as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds

there was a study done in 2015 that shows an even greater possible yearly divide than the 2012 one

Been trying to not bother anyone, but I am wondering if anyone could send donations. I can't pay rent today (even if I pay the half I will on credit) and more fees are adding on, and outside of some help I've barely been eating for a long time here. I'm just struggling to afford rising costs of living with constant new crises happening, and I haven't been able to get someone to take over my lease, so I can't just couchsurf. Not at all asking anyone to over extend or send me more if they've had, but if anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

(I have seen as many case managers and financial aid advisors as I can and am using every resource I can too! There's just not much where I am now.)

I would be SUCH a good Youtuber if I knew anything about cameras, or filming, or editing, or if I had any interest in learning those things, or if I had the capability to follow through on literally anything

This funny guy made becoming the messiah a whole project for himself. Can't believe a fortnite character would do something like that.
