Good news! It gets worse!

I think it's the galactic orbit thing that really did me in

Last Tuesday I tested positive for covid and after having to check with my insurance and then check with the pharmacy about if the government was still covering paxlovid I thought I was going to be out more than a thousand dollars to ensure that my ass didn't end up in hospital from my first covid infection. Thankfully although my insurance thought they weren't covering it, they ended up covering it for me so I was only out the 20% I have to pay for drugs on my plan. It would have been much better if the government were still covering it 100% but I am now done with taking the five day treatment.

Now I would like the coughing and tiredness to stop as well as the sewage taste to go away. It's not even the taste of sewage when I'm eating. It's just always there in my mouth. Citrus seems to help it immensely but there's only so much I can do without constantly drinking juice.

Guy dies and finds himself standing in front of Satan. 

He says, "Oh no, am I..."

Satan says, "Yes, you are. But it's not as bad as you think. Let me give you the tour."

Guy looks around and sees that they are in a grassy field with rolling hills, chirping birds, bunny rabbits hopping around, for as far as the eye can see.

They start walking. Satan points to the right and says, "Over there is the sports center. There are three arenas, an Olympic sized pool, tennis courts, an 18 hole PGA approved golf course, and more. You can watch or participate in any one, any time you want."

Satan continues. "On the left is the theater district. Every movie and and Broadway show ever produced can be enjoyed there 24 hours a day."

Then he points ahead. "The marina is down there, where any sized craft from a dinghy to an aircraft carrier, fully crewed, is available for you."

As they proceed, they pass a fenced off area filled with molten lava all the way to the horizon. In it are hundreds of millions of people, drowning and screaming in agony.

Guy says, "See, now that's what I expected Hell to be like."

Satan replies, "Nah, we just keep that for the Christians. They seem to like it for some reason."

This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.

The database is a little clunky to use (especially on a phone), but still loads of excellent information.

[plantyhamchuk]

Here’s their website - Food Plant Solutions - and they can use volunteers! And $ of course. What they really need help with is connecting with NGOs/groups on the ground already working in countries, to get them access to the database. They also need help from formally trained agronomists, people good with website stuff, and people good at marketing / getting the word out about their project.

You know how people sometimes get a cat by just having a random stray cat with no collar and no chip walk in and sit on the couch like "yo fucknuts I live here now", and the people just go "well fuck, guess I gotta go get a litterbox then."

Now consider: Humans doing that to the fae. Not being captured by the fae folk, not taken against their will but stubbornly walking in to their realm and refusing to leave before one of them agrees to take this damn creature. Faeries telling each other "naww come on, you can't make it leave, it already ate your food. Everyone knows you gotta keep them if you've fed them."

And another faery yells back "I did not fucking feed that thing, it climbed into my pantry and was eating flour straight out of the bag!"

TIL that a recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.

Socializing speedrun (Any %)

[kiwianaroha]

This is why it was so much easier to make friends when you were in school; you were trapped with those people all day Monday to Friday. It’s OK that it’s harder to make really good friends now that you’re an adult

[ignescent]

Yes, this! It’s also why regular get together are so useful. If you want to make friends as an adult? Join a book club, go to a craft meet up, find an excuse to hang out w/ approximately the same people once a week for a couple of hours. As you get to know them, invite them out other places. Yes, it’s a pain to have to do the work to socialize, but if you want the friends, you have to trap yourself with the other people.

[spytap]

Reblogging for all my mutuals who have asked “Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult?”

[turnabout]

“if you want the friends, you have to trap yourself with the other people” sounds so sinister.

It becomes very very evident when an author has never interacted with small children before. PLEASE stop writing 4 year olds with baby voices, I promise you they do not answer in short sentences the way a baby might. They can and Will start monologing

#i have read supervillain speeches less verbose than some 4 y.o. who just learned 60 turtle fun facts#please understand#1 y.o. = single words#2 y.o. = phrases/frustration with being misunderstood#3 y.o. = you will understand if this child has to suffocate you by using all oxygen in the room to explain#4 y.o. = probably not necessary to use all O2 for you to 100% understand their point. but they saw a bug and the world must know.#5 to 10 y.o. = keep that 4 y.o. enthusiasm. then add sass. vocab. and begin the sarcasm skill tree.

This post is meant to serve as a jumping off point. Those citations exist for a reason and we encourage you to read further. This post can only address so much.

There was so much that simply couldn’t be covered in such a short post; not to mention a breadth of research that feels like it should be must read material for this topic.

A huge thank you to willatheewisps and a.hearth.witch (on instagram) for going over this prior to posting.

Let us know in the comments if you’re interested in a post going over the origins of the Christian Zionist movement, as well as how it inspired Jewish Zionism.

Did you know that it was a “proto-Christian Zionist” Church of Scotland clergyman & author Alexander Keith who coined the phrase, “land without a people and a people without a land” in his 1843 book?

@unsungunstrung

I’m reblogging this to reply to you because the notes are restricted. You asked to be pointed in the direction of someone who believes this…let me introduce you to the entire congregations of all 3 churches I attended as a child. Why did we attend 3 different churches? Because my dad was and still is a crowd follower. When his church bestie went somewhere else and said “the spirit” was moving more over there, off we went.

This is a very popular mindset in my neck of the woods. It was only 2 years ago I overheard him on Skype with his fiancée telling her the Palestinians basically needed to get out and “leave The Holy Land to the Jews and if not…oh well.” In a conversation where he was shrugging off and cheering on genocide, because in his mind it’s the first step toward the rapture.

In which he’ll be one of the first ones drawn up, of course.

Now, having said that, I will not be entertaining any replies from you that have even a hint of skepticism. You will simply be blocked. You asked to see such a person, I obviously can’t introduce you to my dad and a couple hundred people who live in my town. But this is a very real, very dangerous mindset.

But there’s always John Hagee

He claimed God sent Hitler to create Israel. Now he's speaking at the pro-Israel rally. What?

John Hagee is the leader of the United States' most prominent Christian Zionist organization.
