Missed the hayday of Tumblr (was a Twitter gal but did lurk on here) but decided to come check this place out again.

Intro for me is that I'm Emily. I'm a 24 year old transfemme aroace living in SoCal. Ex-cult.member. While I'm personally very eh religious wise at the moment, I do enjoy talking about theology and religious studies. Also enjoy talking about gender studies, history, and languages.

Languages I'm learning are Classical Syriac, Latin, Dutch, Koine Greek, French, and Modern Standard Arabic.

So yeah, that's me! Nice to meet everyone

Relistening to The Magnus Archives is sorta wild. Partly doing it cuz have a tendacy to space out so missed some parts of the episodes. But also just wild picking up on so much more the second time.

[acryinthedark]

Basically got a The Magnus Archives kick and I think went through basically Episode 22 to 200 in the last month and I'm not okay that it's over~

Now I feel like have nothing to listen to and honestly can't wait till the Magnus Protocols but well that will be a long wait.

Very enjoyed it and glad I finally got around to finishing it even if I got to it later than a lot of people.

Heads up: If you consistently CANNOT do tasks unless they are at the “Must Happen Right Now” stage, then you have a disability. 

Most people CHOOSE to put stuff off sometimes, but abled people do not consistently feel UNABLE to complete tasks without threat of consequence.

Maybe it’s an executive dysfunction issue, maybe it’s fatigue, maybe it’s chronic pain– doesn’t matter why, what matters is acknowledging it so that you can move forward. Reach out to resources that are there to help disabled people! Ask for accommodations! They’re there FOR YOU, BECAUSE YOU NEED THEM! Understanding and accepting that you have the limitations you have, and learning what can be done about them, will lead to a much more fulfilling life which you absolutely deserve.

In September 1985, Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) entered the transcript in support of an amendment to the federal budget revoking the tax-exempt status of "any religious or apostolic organization which has as its primary purpose the promotion of witchcraft or which has substantial interest in the promotion of witchcraft," witchcraft in this context meaning "power derived from evil spirits; sorcery; or Supernatural powers of malicious intent." This provision passed the Senate by unanimous voice vote—which is to say that in the penultimate decade of the 20th century, the most powerful branch of America's representative democracy unanimously agreed not to grant tax-exempt status to citizens who traffic with "evil spirits."

Literally every time I read more about the Satanic Panic, the more it feels like a fever dream.

Aro culture is dying inside every time aromanticism is treated as a subset of asexuality instead of a completely separate thing.

"Transfeminism holds that sex and gender are both socially constructed; furthermore, the distinction between sex and gender is artificially drawn as a matter of convenience. While the concept of gender as a social construct has proven to be a powerful tool in dismantling traditional attitudes toward women's capabilities, it left room for one to justify certain discriminatory policies or structures as having a biological basis. It also failed to address the realities of trans experiences in which physical sex is felt more artificial and changeable than their inner sense of who they are."

-- Emi Koyama, "Transfeminist Manifesto"

Today’s gender is- just a feral lil creature.
