The path upon which the centred person moves... or something like that idk, I've never been to ooba java. Returned to Tumblr after many years away, starting from scratch. mostly interested in learning spiritual practices. My background is mostly in Buddhism, studied with a sangha with a secular view of Tibetan lineage (no, Secular Buddhism isn't a wild new idea, no it isn't cultural appropriation) I am also interested in pagan beliefs as it's in my family, I'm ashamedly quite ignorant and want to fix that. I'll be studying psychology in January, so will likely post fun and interesting stuff from that too. oh yeah im poly too, so expect stuff about that from time to time.
my friend just told me that there’s a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you’ve turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.
I don't care what the state of the world or language is at the time, if I turn 60 I'm going to start talking like an Soulsborne character.
Someone is going to visit by elderly ass on my 60th birthday expecting me to be normal and I'll just be sitting in the corner in full Victorian clothes going "hmmm, dost thou knowst wherein I have place mine dual tablet of writing? Many a word I have typed upon its face, yet flow hath it from this land. I would most appreciate its return, Tarnished one. hehehehehe"
in sekiro when you fight isshin in the normal ending, wolf is japan's only hope because isshin is back in his prime and if he gets both the mortal blades he will literally be unkillable
BUT
when you fight shura isshin, ISSHIN is japan's only hope, because wolf is falling to shura and if he gets both the mortal blades he will literally be unkillable
i saw this comparison in the comments of a video and my mind is blown fromsoft are incredible at writing
It's practically automatic to form our experiences into a coherent story which we are in the middle of, but don't confuse that impulsive storytelling for a view of what's actually going on.
The conservative movement’s annual confab was creepily obsessed with trans kids and showcased the GOP’s alarming and intensifying anti-trans rhetoric.
Thousands of [fascists], including prominent Republican lawmakers and presidential hopefuls, flocked to a suburban Washington, D.C., convention center this week to discuss children’s genitals.
They were there for the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the preeminent annual gathering of America’s [fascist] movement, where speaker after speaker held forth on the urgent need for the Republican Party — an institution ostensibly dedicated to limited government — to criminalize the act of doctors and parents providing minors with gender-affirming care…
But it also became clear at CPAC that the Republican campaign against trans kids isn’t just a mere ploy to energize its base — it could also be the beginning of an insurgent fascist campaign to erase trans people from public life altogether.
Michael Knowles, the host of ”The Michael Knowles Show” on The Daily Wire, gave a speech at CPAC that, at moments, sounded genocidal. “The problem with transgenderism is not that it’s inappropriate for children under the age of 9,” he said. “The problem with transgenderism is that it isn’t true.”
There are an estimated 1.6 million trans people in the United States. Knowles told the CPAC crowd that these people should not have a right to exist.
“If [transgenderism] is false, then for the good of society… transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely,” he said.
Eradicated. The crowd roared again.
Another speaker, Tom Fitton, president of the right-wing website Judicial Watch, called gender-affirming care for minors “a demonic assault on the innocence of our children.”
And there was also a panel on the main stage called “A Time for Courage” featuring panelists Riley Gaines, a former collegiate athlete who made a name for herself complaining about competing against a transgender swimmer, and Chloe Cole, a woman who identified as a transgender male as a minor but later “detransitioned.”
Cole’s story has featured prominently in right-wing media to demonstrate the apparent dangers of allowing children to receive gender-affirming care. But stories like hers are very rare. Only about 1 to 3% of people who start a gender transition later express regret for doing so and then “backtrack or travel elsewhere across the landscape of gender identity,” as Slate once explained.
But for CPAC attendees, stories like Cole’s prove that gender-affirming care for minors is always evil.
