i love poly ppl being like "my primary partner" i love them reinventing the concept of "my main hoe" and side hoes

fun fact is the idea of marrying one person for romantic love is actually a newer and more modern concept than polyamory. whereas polyamory was common in the ancient world for thousands of years and is still practiced today, marrying one single person for romantic love alone was a rebellious concept that emerged in the early 1800s with the rise of the romanticism movement. they love to reinvent the wheel!

I knew one of you was going to get mad about this and write something long

“Polyamory was common in ancient times” yes that was called having a harem and it didn’t usually happen with the women’s consent

It also wasn’t for commoners like Bobikles the farmer

friendly reminder that polygamous societies fuel child brides. The more “desirable” women are taken in by a single male (usually in a position of power) the more likely it is for lower class men to snag up any barely pubescent girl child as a wife before someone else “gets her.”

Human beings aren’t resources to hoard and polyamory is like…three degrees away from that reality at all times.

also this idea that they invented having feelings for a person in the 1800s is just the stupidest fucking shit, will that ever die

There's probably an interesting essay to be written about the cult of personality around Donald Trump and Taylor Swift.

The biggest problem would be that when the author of the essay is found brutally murdered it will be difficult to work out whose followers are responsible.

"The question of forgiveness is not a moral issue. We do not forgive because it is the 'correct' thing to do. We forgive because it is the true nature of the life in Christ. As Dostoevsky described it: it is Paradise. In the same manner, the refusal to forgive, the continuation of blame, recrimination, bitterness, etc., are not moral failings. They are existential crises - drawing us away from the life of Christ and Paradise, and ever deeper into an abyss of non-being.

We who expect to receive such great mercy at the time of our own death - should we not extend the same mercy to all while we are yet among them?"

~Fr. Stephen Freeman, Forgive Everyone for Everything

Why is it only Catholics have to sell their priceless artifacts of worship? What about every other religion with gold statues and jewel-encrusted temples? Why is no one joking about making them give all that away?
By the way, the Catholic Church is by far the largest charitable organization in the world, and many of those “golden cathedrals” you so badly want to have sold off double as homeless shelters and soup kitchens. We already give and give and give but every time the joke is “Hm, well that tabernacle looks expensive, why don’t you have it melted down and feed a bunch of starving African kids?”
Just say you have no respect at all for Christianity or what’s considered sacred. You don’t give a shit about poor people, you just have a personal disdain for the Church.
Children in Africa aren’t starving because the Catholic Church won’t feed them. They’re starving because we keep sending them money but their corrupt governments keep it for themselves while their people continue to fucking starve.
I’m not even Catholic, but this has been common knowledge for years.

Now, I’m no economics major, but I’m pretty sure all the money Catholics would make from selling all their gold and stuff wouldn’t make much of a dent in world hunger and might actually crash the gold and stuff market.

But of course tumblr thinks “throw other people’s money at the problem!” is a good idea.

99% of the “solid gold” stuff you see in a church is like $5 worth of gold leaf (a couple hundred atoms thick) over plaster. There’s no way to melt it down, and if there was they would probably have either turned it into food for the poor years ago or used it to fix their leaky roof.

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

No, no, no, you see on tiktok an algorithm feeds you misinformation. On Tumblr I feed myself misinformation from my charcuterie board of hand-selected unhinged mutuals.

None of that mass market junk. Only artisanal, small batch, sustainably cultivated, fair trade horseshit.
