i just saw a clip of german rapper Ikkimel saying "if someone sexually assults you at my show, kick kim / punch him and we'll kick him out" and so many men in the comment section are like "OMG SHE IS CALLING FOR VIOLENCE" i'm sorry that you feel attacked by a woman telling other women to defend themselves?? Do you think it applies to you?? DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE AFFECTED BY WOMEN DEFENDING THEMSELVES WHEN THEY'RE SEXUALLY ASSULTED?!!! ANSWER MY QUESTION THOMAS?!!!!
The pathologization of anger needs to be talked about. What do you mean my therapist is telling me that thereâs something âchemically wrongâ with me because I am still angry about my mom DYING OF COVID.
of course Iâm still angry? My mom and 1.3 million other Americans are dead and you want me to shoot sunshine out of my ass about it?
âBut Itâs been 3 years since she died, you have complex griefâ yeah and she was on a ventilator for 11 days and she kept writing âI am scaredâ and âI donât want to dieâ on a notepad over and over again. While you were still going out unmasked and unvaccinated and coughing all over each other, I was living a nightmare I couldnât fucking wake up from. And every single day Iâm reminded of it in the form of âhaha wasnât the pandemic such a wacky time hahaâ and âIâm not getting a booster you canât make me 𤪠(nobody asked)â and âitâs not real they made the numbers up!!!â
âYouâre not copingâ Ok hereâs the deal; Iâll stop feeling this anger when we have a national memorial (we donât) or a cdc equipped to stop it from happening again (we donât) or a population that takes a deadly disease seriously BEFORE it effects them personally (WE DONâT!)
until then, Iâm pretty sure my anger is A COMPLETELY NORMAL HUMAN REACTION given the facts at hand
tom nook is NOT a landlord!!! he is a construction worker! he SELLS you a WHOLE HOUSE! He is not CHARGING YOU however many bells a month to live there! You PURCHASE a HOME that he BUILDS FOR YOU and then you PAY HIM FOR HIS SERVICE. He charges no interest he sets no time limit it is a relationship built on trust. the only penalty you get for not paying off your home is that he won't build more home until you pay him for the first one. A guy that builds you a house wherever you want him to and then charges you for the cost of construction is not a landlord you own the fucking home
The Yellowstone Wolves is the first case we study in any Ecology class, since it's the best example on how interconnected the ecosystem is - there's no direct reason why the presence of wolves would change the course of the rivers, but through a series of little things, it does. It's a reminder that everything is important, everything has a role in nature, and how the extinction of a population can bring an entire ecosystem down.
the novelty of having pets really does never wear off iâve had my cat for ten years and i still look at him strolling around like can you believe this. a cat. is everyone seeing this. heâs alive he has bones and all. unbelievable
i hate ai generated photos but especially of things that we already have hundreds of actual photos of. why would you need ai generated images of the eiffel tower people have been taking pictures of the eiffel tower since its construction. you have unlimited eiffel tower photos already. why are you making fake ones. for what purpose.
Jewish baby named Edgardo Mortara is seemingly about to die in Bologna, 1851
Catholic nanny secretly baptises him to save his soul, which sheâs not exactly the kind of authority who can do that, but w/e, itâs interpreted by the church as valid later
Kid survives
1857 her secret gets out, a baptising makes a kid a Catholic according to the Church and a Catholic canât be raised in a non-Catholic household in the Papal States, so the church authorises the police to kidnap Edgardo from his family
Raised personally by Pope Pius IX, Jewish family not allowed to take him back due to Church doctrine, this action destroys the family with grief and despair
This case gets international infamy with the Pope not understanding why everyoneâs shiting on him for doing this, including allies
Emperor Napoleon III shifts from opposing Italian unification to supporting it as a direct consequence
Bologna falls the next year, 1859
Kingdom of Italy forms 1861
By 1870 Rome is lost to the Italians and the Papal States are no more
(Edgardo Mortara goes on to become Father Mortara)
(He dies in Belgium in 1940 three months before the Nazis occupied the nation, which if heâd have lived he wouldâve been persecuted as a Jew)
Fun fact: the Catholic Church did not stop doing this after Edgaro Mortara. During WW2, many Jewish children were put in convents or catholic-run orphanages for their own safety. Sounds nice right? Except after the war ended, when parents or surviving relative went back to claim their children, the church went, âuhhh, actually theyâre catholic now, no take backs!â
The most infamous of these cases was the Finaly affair. Two Jewish children in France, Robert and Gerald Finaly, were placed in a Catholic nursery in 1944 in anticipation of their parents being deported to Auschwitz, where they were both murdered. Their aunt, Marguerite Fischel, survived the war and went to find the boys so she could take them to live with her. However, the nun who had custody of the boys, Antoinette Brun, adamantly refused to give them up, reportedly saying that âThe Jews are not gratefulâ
What followed was a years long custody battle where despite being repeatedly ordered by courts all over Europe to return the boys, Brun took them to many different countries and hid them, with the support and help of other nuns and priests. It was suspected at the time, and later confirmed by documents released in 2020, that Pope Pius XII had supported the effort to keep the boys away from their surviving family and have them be raised Catholic.
Thankfully, after negotiations between a sympathetic cardinal in France and the chief Rabbi of Paris, the boys were finally recovered and reunited with their aunt.
Documents reveal the private discussions behind both Pope Pius XIIâs silence about the Nazi deportation of Romeâs Jews in 1943 and the Vatic
I wish I could say that the phenomenon of the Catholic Church kidnapping children and keeping them away from their families for the purposes of forcefully raising them Catholic is unique to Jews, but itâs not. From the mid nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century, the Church ran hundreds of residential schools in the US and Canada where indigenous children were kidnapped from their homes and forced into these cruel and inhumane âschoolsâ. The children were forbidden from speaking their own languages or practicing their own cultures and religions, their hair was cut, and they were subject to emotional, verbal, spiritual, physical, and sexual abuse. Many of the children died due to malnutrition or medical neglect, their bodies buried like dogs beside the schools. The Catholic Church was not the only Church to participate in this, but theyâve been the most reluctant to fully acknowledge and apologize for it. It was only in 2022 that Pope Francis apologized on behalf of the Catholic Church for their part, but some people found the apology inadequate.
Idk what my point is here, just that thereâs such a clean link between evangelizing, cultural/religious imperialism, and how damaging and horrifying a religion can be when it is thoroughly convinced of its own superiority. And that unless an institution is forced to change, it probably wonât change on its own.
