I’m on page nine right now and this book is fucking weird like…ill admit I skimmed some of the Minecraft fan books and they just tried to be like fantasy novels but in minecraft land but this dude in here is like “uh the dirt is square and I have logs for arms” I can’t tell if this is genius or what

[luxwing]

The guy is pissed that he’s punching the grass and can’t grab it

[luxwing]

He Contemplates the Flat Apple

[luxwing]

This dude is talking about how shit he breaks becomes like flat objects and he stacks them in his pocket like playing cards this is fucking

Shut the FUCK up Max Brooks wrote this?

[ripleyandweeds]

seeing ‘max brooks, bestselling author of world war z’ attatched to ‘minecraft’ was like feeling a sledgehammer being swung into my balls at maximum speed and power

[thyrell]

i have this book, it’s pretty good because unlike most minecraft novelizations it’s written from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know shit or fuck about minecraft

[robobuddies]

Jack Black did the audiobook and listening to it is a spiritual experience

the longer this post gets the faster the sledgehammer is swung

As you can see from the Mojang logo, this book isn’t a fan book, but rather officially licensed.

So, there’s a lot of discourse about whether people should donate to Notre Dame fundraisers or not.

Personally, I would never tell anyone what to, or not to, give money to, but I wanted to put out some facts which might help people make their decision.

The biggest one is The Catholic Church does not own Notre Dame.

You heard that right.

Notre Dame does not, in any way, legally “belong” to the church. Like many French medieval churches, Notre Dame belongs to the people of France. Who graciously permit the Catholic church to use it as a place of worship.

The financial responsibility for repairing and restoring the church thus falls to the government of France. Not the church. The state. The building was not insured, which is fairly common for government-owned buildings. The Federal government tends to self-insure a lot too. Also, no insurer will cover it.

The construction companies working on the restoration may be found responsible, but their liability insurance will be a drop in the water.

So.

If not enough money is donated, then the balance of the cost will come out of the French treasury.

The tl;dr - the people actually on hook for repairing Notre Dame, ultimately, are the French taxpayers. If you donate to help repair Notre Dame, you’re really donating to arts and culture and history funding in France in general.

Make your decision based off of that. The fact is, the church will be rebuilt regardless of how much money comes in in donations, but other parts of the French arts budget may suffer as a result.

Choose based off of your personal priorities. And don’t let anyone on the internet guilt trip you one way or the other.

However if you do decide to donate, please, please send your money to the Friends of Notre Dame. This is the organization that pays for most of Notre Dame’s repair budget. They are registered as a 501c3 in the United States.

Do not donate to random GoFundMes. Some of them will be scams.

If you would rather donate to the black congregations in Louisiana, who admittedly probably do need the money more, this GoFundMe appears to be legitimate and is hosted by a religious non-profit. They’re about 60% from their goal.

“Until death do us part, briefly, followed by a mildly inconvenient period of rituals, and then we resume our time together,” the necromancer said with a illuminated grin and a teasing tone before kissing their newly wedded wife for the first time.

john oliver from “last week tonight” did a piece discussing the extremely homophobic ideals (like support for conversion therapy) that mike pence holds, and at the end of his segment he said that the only likable thing about pence is his pet bunny named “marlon bundo” and john then said that the pence family is publishing a children’s book about marlon bundo and one of the stops on the book tour is at a conversion therapy organization, and how that upsets him bc he doesn’t want marlon bundo to get a bad reputation. so john oliver decided to combat pence’s book by making his own children’s book about marlon bundo being gay and falling in love with a boy bunny.

the book is written by jill twiss in association with last week tonight, it’s available in print, as an E-book, and as an audible with the voices of jim parsons, jesse tyler ferguson, jeff garlin, ellie kemper, john lithgow, jack mcbrayer, and rupaul. and it actually is a sweet and innocent children’s book with a very nice story and one hundred percent of the proceeds go to the trevor project and aids united!! i recommend buying it for a charming and inclusive story for children and for yourself, to help donate to the trevor project and aids united, or just as a general ‘fuck you’ to mike pence!!!

YOU CAN PURCHASE THE BOOK HERE
