St Michael Prayer - Anarchist Edition

St. Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle.

Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the empire.

May God rebuke the Devil and the Oppressor, we humbly pray,

and do thou,

O Prince of the heavenly hosts,

by the power of God,

thrust into hell Satan,

and all the evil spirits,

who prowl about the world

seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

O glorious prince St. Michael,

chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,

guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits,

servant in the house of the Divine King

patron saint of freedom fighters,

protector of the oppressed,

and our admirable conductor,

you who shine with excellence

and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil,

protect us from all surveillance,

guard us against the state

who turn to you with confidence

and enable us by your gracious protection

to serve God more and more faithfully every day

through ripping out the roots of power

and emancipating our countrymen.

Amen.

As a Christian, I have the unique reassurance that my God understands what it is to literally be human. Jesus was a human, He experienced pain, hunger, social rejection, and many other pains we face in this fallen world. It's beautiful that God loves us so much He suffered as us. That being said, I am disgusted and outraged at how trans children (and adults) are forced to suffer. I hate this world right now.

I'm legitimately in tears.

JKR is once again attacking a woman of colour

[mentally-thrown-out-a-window]

Isn’t ssooo crazy that the ‘defender of women’s rights’ constantly attaches and harasses women who aren’t hyper feminine looking all the time or who otherwise don’t fit in to the gender binary

That’s sooo willld

[desertbuddie]

Transphobia, Misogyny and Racism all intwined and like the bigot JK is she is once again doing all three.

I think it's important to remember that every single religion can be twisted for violence and oppression and abuse and control. Yes, including the one that you think can't be. But quickly, before anti-theists start saying that religion is an inherently evil violence accelerant, remember that this is true for any ideology, including anti-theism. Violence and oppression and abuse and control happens wherever there are people who think that those things will help them get what they want.

I will never recover from how everything and everyone was so queer in The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit and everything else. Legolas and Gimli built a boat together to go to the Undying Lands together and spent all their time *together* after Return of The King but yeah totally platonicly™️

Frodo and Sam were so queer in the books and movies that the actors themselves ship them together, and Sean Astin wanted them to kiss but we all know they wouldn’t have been able to get away with it. Bilbo and Thorin were so gay in the movies that this isn’t even an edited screenshot.

And somehow people still believe that it’s all platonic

It wouldn’t be historically accurate for my story to include BIPOC!

This is an argument often made about European-style fantasy media like Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, and Disney’s Frozen. Audiences, often white, assume that due to the majority-white setting, adding any visible number of BIPOC to the story would be unrealistic.

What these critics fail to realize is that BIPOC do in fact live, and have lived, in these settings, and records of BIPOC presence in places assumed to be majority-white have been buried, written out, or not taught due to white supremacist and/or colonial bias in the field of history. There are historical European settings that were far more diverse than is often portrayed. Consider:

The Moorish Empire exerted an extensive influence over life and culture in Southern Europe from Spain from 711 to 1492

The Ottomans were heavily involved in European affairs up until the treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, but still considered a part of Europe even through the 19th century

The sheer size of the Roman Empire ensured the continued movement of people from various backgrounds within the Mediterranean well until the end of the Byzantine Empire.

“Historical accuracy” should not be used as an excuse for media to be exclusively white in its casting. While there are places which are or were predominantly white, there will always be factors like global trade and immigration that bring multiculturalism to their doors.

And even if the presence of a certain demographic is unrealistic for a certain setting? Consider that we’ve accepted far worse inaccuracies in historical fiction in the name of artistic license. Consider that our understanding of human history is, and will always be, incomplete.

Here's uBlock Origin's official guide to bypassing youtube's anti-adblock popups, updated weekly. Please share widely. Don't reward google for their predatory anti-consumer bullshit

To summarize: 1. Get uBlock Origin and make sure it's updated to the latest version. 2. Click on the gear icon to get to the dashboard, go to "Filter lists", and make sure that "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" is up to date

Repeat those steps any time you get another popup (google and uBlock are having an arms race right now so it might stop working at any moment), and if you have any more problems, read the reddit thread for troubleshooting advice

it comforts me to personify Adonai as a god of death, as lord of the dead; a patron of bones and graveyards and darkness, a surveyor of mourning and transition and finding peace in mortality.

greek deities such as Hades and Thanatos as well as the egyptian gods Anubis and Osiris, have always been my favorites, and were it not for my faith, I would worship them wholeheartedly.

regardless, viewing Adonai as one who has dominion over all means everything that entrances me about death and the dead is under His jurisdiction as well.

i can dress in black in devotion to Him. i can find comfort in darkness and bones and decaying things as remembrance of His power. i can research burial rites across various cultures and visit graveyards to care for the fallen as methods of prayer and reflection. i do not have to limit a deity so omni just because it does not align with his common or traditional presentation.

yes, He is a god of strength, of love, of peace, of light and a million other things involving war and bloodshed. but to me, He is a god of all. darkness is not inherently negative, despite what biblical poets would have us believe. removing borders placed by mankind is something so wondrously freeing to me, because i can come to Him in whichever way feels most genuine.

that’s all lol

amen & blessed be 🖤
