The thing is I don’t think mercy replaces justice or makes it void, I think it incorporates then goes beyond justice. I think it’s bigger.

Across tumblr no one owns a truck for clout and that’s quite a good thing.

phantomrose96

To start 30% of tumblr users don’t own their own car, which already eliminates quite a lot of potential truck havingness you see.

Then among the car havers, the most common kind is a 20 year old sedan that was purchased for $2,400 and will be driven until the rims weather into sediment and become a new kind of sedan sedimentary rock called a sedanimentary rock. The second most common kind of car is a Subaru purchased by two lesbians who are no longer in a relationship but remain good enough friends still to be effective car co-parents.

Now this does leave an amount of truck havers. About 0.5-1% according to science. But importantly when you ask them about the truck the answer is “yeah my job is to pull stuck bulls out of the mud on the farm” and then they pull away and you get to see all the muddy bulls in the back of their truck, which is a real treat.

The Odyssey but make it a Christian allegory.

The war is over, it's won. The king is coming back. But no one knows when he will return, they just wait for him. And evil forces are at work, plotting, abusing, taking over. But the king is coming--he has won the war and he is coming home. He will bring justice and punishment for evil when he returns, and he will claim his bride and elevate his son. No one knows when he is coming, but his wife remains faithful, waiting. His son remains watchful, waiting.

The king is coming.

i feel like there's gottabe an inbetween of "you must only feed your child meat and you must only eat meat and be outside 22 hours of every day and teach them to read and use the restroom independently at 6 months old and if you wear anything other than cotton you'll explode immediately" or "ipad baby forever" like i feel like there is an inbetween but if you look anywhere online there is not actually

Normal, well-adjusted, nuanced parents are generally not online telling everyone else how to raise their baby.

"People are not property!" - *loud cheering*

"This includes prisoners! They are not suddenly property of the state when they're convicted!" - *a little less cheering*

"And that includes children who are not their parents' property!" - *almost no cheering*

"What? I thought we said people aren't property?"

I'm gonna say that there really should be an understanding of dependence, fiduciarity, and authority separate from ownership, and describing either modern-day authority over children by parents or modern-day incarceration of criminals really doesn't make sense to describe as ownership unless someone is doing something extremely wrong.

I also think that proposals to reduce the paternal authority of parents rarely fail to be a power-grab by the state and also an attempt to establish the means to commit cultural genocide even if the intent is not there.

#Yeah my children aren’t my property #but they are my responsibility and I’m not willing to outsource

Like. Imagine. You are an Italian businessman in France and such a oui-aboo (medieval version) that you nickname ur child "Frenchman" (ur child, who has a perfectly good Italian name already, btw). Ur kid goes on to become one of the most widely popular saints in all of christian history and so now thousands of unsuspecting italian children are called french(wo)man. Not even as a nickname. That's their whole ass actual name. Happened to a friend of mine*

#The more I learned about st Francis the more confused I got about his name #Also I resented being an American girl named French man

“I think [Catholic chatbots] are an anti-Christian form stuffed with Christian content, and that their presence is as unfriendly to humanity as their use is stultifying to the evangelizing efforts of the Church.”

relentlessly funny to me when people treat a relationship between someone in their 30s and someone in their 40s as "age difference". bro i cannot tell you which of my friends are 34 and which are 44. i can probably tell you which ones aren't 30 yet, but it's probable some of them are 50 now and i didn't notice. if you're over 30 and don't have kids, it's kinda all one age until you can collect social security.

#Yeah once you have kids your age is measured by that #I’m in my 30s and I have a friend in her 50s/60s who has kids the same ages as mine #and I’m constantly forgetting that she’s my parents age and not mine

one of my favorite bits in lord of the rings is something the movies didn't really try to do because it's entirely internal, but sam's carrying the ring and it starts trying to do its work on him, so he's having these intrusive visions of himself marching at the head of a vast and terrible army, and he just starts laughing because, me? samwise gamgee? sam gamgee the general sam gamgee the dark lord are you for real? man i just want to go home and do some gardening. and the ring gets frustrated and it starts trying to figure out other stuff that would actually tempt sam and it's finally like, okay, but hear me out: imagine if you could have...A REALLY REALLY BIG GARDEN

and then he's like, i don't know that sounds like a lot more work than a regular garden actually. why don't we just get on with finding mister frodo
