I'm not on here much anymore, but I think I'm required to reblog this.
And thats a fact!
they also steal water from people
[ID Spiderman stands in front of a class delivering a lecture. Behind him is a large white screen reading:
Bottled water companies do not produce water, they produce plastic bottles. End ID]
Yes. If you live in a place where tap water is safe to drink, please take advantage of that!
I've only got one more post in the queue, and then I'm off for Advent and Christmas hiatus! So I'll be gone until 6-Jan, if not longer.
To my Christian followers, I hope this time is filled with signs of God's enduring love. To everyone, have a wonderful season!
me: there should be a (very, very long) traditonally-animated movie of The Ring of the Nibelung
also me: there should be an opera of "The Bremen Town Musicians" (1969)

Do you use “He/Him” pronouns for God? Awesome!
Do you use “She/Her” pronouns for God? Spectacular!
Do you use “They/Them” or other pronouns for God? Totally Rad!
God loves you and so do I!
Do you forego pronouns altogether and just say "God" over and over? Fabulous!
What, to the Native American, is Thanksgiving? Am I to be thankful for the blood-stained stolen land? Am I to be thankful for the 60 million of my ancestors murdered? Am I to be thankful for our crops and livestock that were burned and pushed to near extinction? Am I to be thankful for the barren wilderness we were rounded up and forced onto? Am I to be thankful for our culture and languages outlawed and beaten out of us? Perhaps I accept with gratitude that we are still here because of all of my ancestors and family who fought like hell to make sure of that. For them, I am thankful.

i absolutely hate the beginner’s stage of learning a language, get me to intermediate now
This bothers me too, especially starting a new language after you were already just at intermediate/advanced in another language.
I usually go for Assimil, LingQ, Easy Languages/other YouTube content (with captions), other lower intermediate content now, right away when starting a new language. I like working through short texts or videos to pick up tons of vocabulary right from the start very quickly, rather than start Duolingo over again and translate “the elephant eats an apple” 50 times before I get anywhere useful.
It’s been working pretty well so far, I was able to at least expose myself to over 1,000 Polish words in under a week doing that, and then remember or at least be able to recognize maybe 500 of them.
Beginner stage like this is like hitting the ground running, then B1-B2 intermediate/advanced is a slow marathon.
Affrèrement / Same-sex Households in Medieval France
Yesterday in the group watch we were talking about queer intimacy in Les Miserables and one thing that was brought up was Valjean and Fauchelevent’s relationship in which he takes Fauchelevent’s last name, becomes his “brother”, and they raise Cosette together.
And it occurred to me that maybe this is not something that is Widely Known– so, there actually is a historical context in France of men forming legal households together and raising children together through “affrèrement” (literally, embrotherment). What affrèrement was is essentially a contract in which two men would join their households together under “one bread, one wine, one purse” (un pain, un vin, une bourse, or in Latin, ad unum panem et vinum), much like a marriage contract, making each other their heirs, holding property in common and raising children together. In fact to be an affrère was to have a closer legal status than a brother, since to name someone as an affrère would essentially disinherit other family members like blood brothers.
Obviously this was not, like, designed as a “gay marriage” or anything, and was very commonly used among: a) literal brothers, who wished to jointly administer property they would have come into through their father b) unrelated men who were married to women, joining their households together and raising their families collectively But it was also used, everywhere that affrèrement was practiced, by single unrelated men who came together for reasons such as “pure affection and sincere affinity”– because they loved each other, basically, without speculating as to what form that love may have taken. And to consider affrèrement as a sort of marriage is not at all a stretch; it was essentially the same thing legally speaking, to the point where, in places where affrèrement was most common, straight couples would sign contacts of “marriage and affrèrement”. The difference being that in an ordinary marriage, the woman’s family paid a dowry to the man that he only managed in trust, whereas in an affrèrement, “each and every one” of their goods were held in common.
So there is historical precedent for unrelated men forming households on essentially an equal basis with married couples under a sort of “brotherhood”, and this was quite widely accepted by the legal structure. Affrèrement pretty much died out after the late Medieval period, and obviously Valjean and Fauchelevent are making a much less legal/legitimate arrangement– but having this context does provide support for a queerer reading of their relationship than we might otherwise be inclined to consider when reading the term “brother”.

Give Us Roses While We’re Still Here Transgender Day of Remembrance // Nov. 20th
This is just a poster I made the other day. I love all of my trans family, and I hope you take the day for remembrance & self care.
I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldn’t it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.
He stops and looks both ways?!?
You wanna know what makes this better?
Crows normally walk. This one seems to have both legs working, so he’s not hopping out of necessity, he’s doing it for fun. Corvids can sometimes be seen doing things like this for no evident reason other than enjoyment.
This is my new favorite post
I can’t ever not reblog.

“O life so dull and monotonous, how many treasures you contain! When I look at everything with the eyes of faith, no two hours are alike, and the dullness and monotony disappear. The grace which is given me in this hour will not be repeated in the next. It may be given me again, but it will not be the same grace. Time goes on, never to return again. Whatever is enclosed in it will never change; it seals with a seal for eternity.”
— Diary of St. Faustina (62)
