I just want everyone to know, my friends aren't exempt from being held accountable for their actions.

If @hellboundwitch did some fucked shit, I'd tell them that they did some fucked shit. Bestie gets told even quicker than others, tbh.

At all our big grown age, it should be normal to hold our friends accountable for their actions even if it's hard to do.

[awitchnamedjuniper]

100% this.

I can promise I always have the best intentions, but I am not immune to fucking up. Hold me accountable because I assure you, I want to learn from my mistakes and grow.

And everyone needs friends who aren't afraid to sit you down and have big talks with you.

Little Plastic Jesuses in the Woods

Somebody left little plastic Jesus figures all over one of the woodland trails I like to walk. They have big, cartoonish grins, white robes, and brightly colored sashes in a variety of colors. I’ve been picking them out of knotholes and tree-forks for days, dropping them in the recycling bin by the parking lot.

At first, the whole thing just made me very angry. It wasn’t just litter; it was litter that felt like an invasion of my own sacred space with a cheap, mass-produced icon that felt like the sacredness-equivalent of empty calories.

Honestly, it made me furious, my rage directed at a kind of deeply American-feeling religiosity that is sold in packs of 72 for $29.99 (I checked). Religion as cheap, brightly-colored, disposable eyesores littered somewhere quiet and gentle and authentic. Religion that is colorful and easy and leaves a mess behind for somebody who actually gives a damn to clean up.

Perhaps worst of all, I suspected that somebody thought of scattering the little figures everywhere as a moral act.

I’m still not happy about it, but my anger has cooled through many walks and the imaginative empathy that always arises from my long contemplations. I reasoned that it was probably a child (encouraged by adults). I reasoned that I wasn’t always respectful of wild places when I was a kid. I reasoned that there is huge, institutional religious machinery at work that seems designed to shrink participants’ worldviews down to a pinhole.

So, my anger slowly resolved into sadness.

And I’m left hoping that whoever tucked trash all over one of my favorite woodlands meets with some moments of clarity and self-reflection. I hope they consider the real value of plastic sacredness sold in bulk. I hope they consider the usefulness of virtue expressed as litter. I hope they question who they expect to comfort or convert with mass-produced trash that smells of a chemical tang, trash abandoned to block sunlight from a tiny patch of moss or wedged in tree-bark like a pebble in a shoe.

I hope they awaken to the symbolism of dropping something inert and obstructive in a place that otherwise grows and breathes and provides.

The Apostles' and Jesus' ministry wouldn't have been possible without the money and invisible labor of the women around them

The Gospel message was heard and believed by those most downtrodden in the Roman Empire, women and slaves

Bibles were transcribed by thousands of nuns for hundreds of years

Nuns like Catherine of Siena were advisors to popes and kings and rulers

Women writers like Hildegard von Bingen, Therese of Lisieux, Theresa of Avila, Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Bridget of Sweden, etc. were influential to theology and faith

You're just going to throw women under the bus because of someone's bad interpretation of Paul? Fucking Paul?? We're not even sure how many letters were actually his, and you're going to follow the words of Paul and maybe Paul over the example of Jesus???

You've had disappointments because you've been brave enough to have hopes. You've got scars because you're a foundational part of a big, wild world that leaves nothing unchanged. Keep going.

People should feel as gutted by this as they did by the Notre Dame Cathedral fire. Except this was a deliberate act of cultural erasure by Russia.

it's been observed many times before but man it is kind of funny that Americans were so galled about the idea of foreign interference in the presidential election. Fuckkkkkk who would do something like that... Truly shameful behavior what kind of monstrous government would do something like that

Shout out to the clover, the dandelion and the daisy. The triumvirate of springtime childish whimsy. WHO is doing it like them

[thestuffedalligator]

This plant, we tell children, has a one in ten-thousand chance to have four leaves. You can search through a clover patch all day and never find one. But if you do, and you pluck it and keep it, it will bring you luck.

And this flower, we tell children, if you let it bud and bloom and age from sun-yellow flower to moon-white seed, you can then pluck it and blow its seeds away to make a wish.

And this flower, we tell children, can be woven into a hat

Homosexuality occurs in most animal species, from insects to mammals, and it is more common amongst males. But how could homosexual behaviou

[queers4christ]

"catholics cant be misogynistic because we love Mary so much!!!!!" no actually you can because you use Mary as a device to teach women that their oppression should be holy by painting the Virgin to be that of a dainty housewife thats quiet easy and submissive instead of the meek and powerful QUEEN she is. you dont love the Blessed Mother and the female Saints you love making excuses to belittle women in a religion thats yelling in your face to do the opposite.
