construction workers were a superstitious organization who thought orange objects could ward off vehicles, or even control people.

Legend has it their most important ritual was destroying a section of a road then smoking cigarettes around it for hours on end. Experts say this was to bless the area

for the ladies

I often deny myself little treats. This takes a supreme act of willpower, but I am able to overcome. I am quite proud of myself, and wish to reward myself. with perhaps a little treat. However.

Do y’all want to hear the story of the most ridiculous church I’ve ever encountered?

Shoot

>Be me >Be taking an internship over in California for a few months between school years >Be looking for a church >Mom recommends one she found on Facebook >All their stuff on the page is for the Lorax >Figure it must be some thing they’re doing with their children’s classes >okayletsdothis.jpg >Pride flag flying outside >Okay that’s a little weird for a church, but it’s Cali, maybe they’re just trying to be welcoming >Go in >They sing a couple hymns I haven’t heard before >Is nice >Pastor goes up to preach >Eventually I notice he doesn’t have a bible >He pulls out the Lorax book >Reads it in its entirety >Keep in mind this is the adult service >Proceeds to wax poetic about nature and environmentalism for the next 45 minutes >Mentions a vague ‘creator‘ maybe twice the whole service >Still never mentioned the gospel the whole time >By the end of this I’m beginning to think maybe the Catholics are right about us all being heretics >My family still jokes to this day about the Church of the Lorax

That’s the second worst I’ve seen.

The story of the worst one goes like this

>Same summer >Family is in Cali for another reason so they visit me while they’re there. >It’s Sunday Sunday Sunday! >Figure we’ll find a place to go to service >Already know to avoid the Church of the Lorax >See that Stanford chapel is nearby >Figure we’ll see what that’s like >Place is gorgeous >Looks like a cathedral inside >The ordained minister comes up >She’s a woman >First thing she wants to tell us is that she’s a lesbian >The rainbow stole already kind of gave it away >californiansbelikethat.png >Preaches on the sermon of Jesus driving the legion of demons into the pigs >Seems weirdly fixated on the legion character >Quotes his lines a lot >Not a lot of focus on Jesus >Gets really passionate about LGBT people and how people may hate them but they’ll never back down >Flat out says ‘We are Legion, We are Many‘ at one point with no trace of irony >Tries to use it as an inspiring slogan >I think by this point she’s forgotten she’s flat out endorsing the demons >In what is nominally a church >Rest of the congregation just nods along like ‘hey, maybe the demons had a point‘ >You know, maybe it’s not protestants >Maybe California is just Hell

i just saw someone describe a disabled person as "someone with beautiful abilities" i cannot do this anymore

god can we stop softening the term "disabled". disabled isn't a dirty word. it's not "special abilities" or "differently abled" or whatever the fuck you want to call it. people have disabilities that cause life to be hard and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that?? it feels so invalidating when people are like "ohh you're not disabled!!! you have special abilities!!" like. omg a) it feels so infantilizing. b) by saying that you're basically saying our struggles aren't real...? some conditions are disabling. it's not hard to understand?? like there is NOTHING wrong with being disabled & using the word disabled. it's not offensive it's not a dirty word can we take the shame out of it pls oh my god. this goes for physical & non physical disabilities btw

fascinating to me how quickly we forget that the cycles repeat. people treating 5-15 year olds like this breed of superchild created to do evil and taint the world. that was all of us. "they're wrecking sephoras" you would not survive a 2015 hot topic with this mindset. "they're falling for the stanley cup thing" buying on trend overly robust camping gear for every day use is like. a middle class tradition in this country. our glorious kånken backpack vs their wicked stanley cup.
