You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

[paradigm-adrift]

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.

Anyone got that comic about making up a strawman to make a point and then turning around and the strawman is standing there

This one?

Dr. Aaron Higashi on the Data Over Dogma podcast

"Straight Christians are reinterpreting the Bible to match their lifestyle all the time when they try and find bits and pieces to celebrate heterosexuality when there is a strong preference for singleness and chastity in the text [of the New Testament]."

Video

Really fascinating interview--not every day do you get schooled in the Bible by a scholar in a Kingdom Hearts t-shirt. The interview is largely about ethnic boundaries in the Bible which is fascinating and extremely relevant, and Dr. Higashi brings up an eerie Bible story from Ezra as a parallel for the Trump deportations.

we justifiably give Biden a lot of shit but I think "at least 3" is the funniest possible response to some right wing dipshit asking you how many genders there are

Advice I gave someone today was: 'do it stupid.'

She wants to learn photography. Do it stupid. Take a million photos. Don't think about why they're not good. Enjoy the process of taking photos.

Pick out tge ones you like the most and figure out why you like them. Is it because the subject is centered? Is it because you caught them doing something cool? Is it because the light made cool shadows?

Do it stupid. If you try to do it smart, youll get stuck. If you think too much you'll never get to doing. Do it stupid.

This is honestly how I started quilting! I had fabric, I had a knowledge of backstitch, I had a quilting magazine. I asked "how hard can it be?" and now here we are. Just have fun and give it a go!

This has got to be my favorite video on Bible interpretation.

Sorry, Millennials, but recent paleontologist findings and hyolaryngeal apparatus reconstructions no longer support the hypothesis that "rawr" means "I love you" in dinosaur.

damn people rly hate type 2 diabetics don't they

[quixoticanarchy]

i (type 1 diabetic) was explaining autoimmune diseases to someone and she was like ohh right so yours is the good kind of diabetes where you didn't do it to yourself. to which i objected that's not how type 2 works either. and she said well that's the fat old people disease. and i was like you can't say that, a) not how it works and b) extremely rude. and her defense was her grandparents have type 2 and "did it to themselves" and since they're fat old people she reserves the right to hate on them. i understand hating shitty grandparents but YOU are the shitty one here to hate on them for their medical conditions and weight rather than literally anything else. hello?!

anyway type 2 diabetics i'm sorry about the world. everyone* be kind to type 2s or else

*note to type 1 diabetics especially we need to be better at solidarity and not cling to being the "good ones" at type 2s' expense. what the fuck is a good kind of diabetes anyway

[quixoticanarchy]

also worth saying diabetes is a complex reaction to a not-yet-fully-understood set of factors and environmental pressures and genetics and it's reductive and fatphobic to say fat=diabetes BUT EVEN SO no matter if someone did incontrovertibly "give themself diabetes" that's not a free pass for dehumanization. shut upppp

[broghini]

The other day I was trying to find info on remission, cause I'm kinda sick of this shit, and all I could find was "lose weight." I know that can't be right, it's gotta be more complex than that. So I look for what they do with folks who actually can't lose weight, and the answer I found was pretty much a shrug emoji. Oh we don't know how people who aren't overweight go into remission! I just...what?! Have you considered, mayhaps, that your focus on fatness is hurting EVERYONE with type 2?

[drachenmagier]

Honestly, painting trees with Q-tips is going to be my new hobby, this is a lot of fun. :D I don't think I shared the scan yet, so here you go~.

He's prostrating himself before the Eucharist, in case you're wondering. Or possibly planking.
