I feel like not enough people are talking about how the reveal that Monsignor Wicks also desired the diamond that he believed had driven his mother to sin - just like Adam took a bite of the Biblical apple after Eve. And, just like Adam blaming Eve,  Monsignor Wicks has spent the rest of his life blaming his mother (and women like her) for the world's misfortunes.

Oh, and also, remember how Christ's sacrifice on the cross, in the Biblical canon, redeemed this original sin of Adam and Eve by taking it upon himself ? And remember how Jud (St. Jude, The Saint for the Hopeless and the Despaired, patron saint of hopeless causes, little prayed to because of his superficial similarity to deception and murder, commonly  depicted carrying the image of Jesus in his hand or close to his chest) took the diamond that had symbolised this "original sin" of the Church and placed it literally into the image of Christ ?

Also, the fact that the person who "redeemed" the Church in this way is explicitly called out to be a CARPENTER - or at least someone good with wood ?? The fact that the image of Christ - which he makes himself - in which he hides the diamond was raised up to replace the empty space left by the cross destroyed by Grace ?? The fact that, in doing so, he removes the physical symbol of Wicks' grudge and hatred, and lets go of these emotions in favour of Christ ?

All this while Tom Waits' "Come Up To The House" is singing "Come down off the cross, we can use the wood" ? Metaphorically calling for Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude to "come down off the cross" of it's hatred for it's founding sin ? To learn to show - as Jud changes it's name to, not the fortitude to bear it every single day, but the grace to let go of it ?

This movie makes me insane

I know that Mass Effect 3 gets a lot of shit - and fuck knows it deserves it - but I swear it also has the ability to make me feel more emotions than any other piece of media ever has.

Forget the endings bullshit, and the ridiculousness of Kai Leng - it's about Javik's voice when he asks you "Why didn't you prepare for the reapers, human?" It's the old lady whose daughter is dead on earth, but she doesn't know, and doesn't remember she's talking to her asari daughter in law. It's the kid in the refugee camp, waiting for her parents. It's Mordin singing Amazing Grace, Thane's last prayer, Legion and Tali on Rannoch - does this unit have a soul? It's asking the elcor ambassador how many of his people you managed to save and hearing "Not. Enough." It's hearing the casualty reports over the radio in London - areas reporting 90, 95 percent casualties - and knowing there's nothing you can do. It's hearing Anderson whisper "You did good, child" as he dies. It's hearing Hackett's voice and standing up one last time, ready to fight, ready to die.

the mass effect trilogy is a wonderful game series with high replayability that i never take advantage of because i have 1 shepard that is The Shepard and i will probably never make any different choices ever

One time my grandfather picked me up from the airport and was driving me home and asked if I wanted to stop at McDonald's. And I was like sure, we can stop at the one in [town].

And he was like "we don't need to go to [town], we'll just go to the one in your town. And I said my town doesn't have a McDonald's. And he was like "okay, we'll go to the closest one". And I was like right, the one in [town]. And he said "that's twenty minutes away from your house, you really don't have one closer?" And when I confirmed that he said "well, it doesn't have to be McDonald's. It can be whatever fast food place is in your town." And I was like there is no fast food in my town. There is no food in my town period unless you want to stop for gas station hot dogs. And he was like "that doesn't make any sense. Then what do you do when you need food?" And I said I drive to [town]. And he said "every single time you need food or groceries?" And I said yeah, that's sort of how the fixed nature of buildings work. And then we drove in silence for ten minutes while this man tried to wrap his head around the fact that I had to drive twenty minutes to town to go grocery shopping.

Anyway a lot of you remind me of this experience pretty much every time the urban/rural divide comes up on this website.

[captainjonnitkessler]

I'm really enjoying that this is picking up notes because most of them are people like "oh yeah, 20 minutes isn't even that bad, I have to drive an hour to my [town]" and then there's a handful of people freaking out like "oh my god, are Americans okay??? Shouldn't your government be doing something about this????"

Idk what the government is gonna do about it man, I think me and my 6 neighbors within walking distance are just gonna have to keep driving to [town]

[rosstmcd]

Reading through the notes on this is wild because they seem to fall into three groups:

Yeah, same.

I flatly refuse to believe such a place is possible. You're all making this up.

I wouldn't want to live in a place like that, so obviously nobody would, and it should be illegal for these places to exist.

idk I just think happy queer stories need to be properly labeled so I can be warned beforehand to not get invested in the main ship because there won't be a culminating catharsis of mutual corruption and self-betrayal crystalizing into an inevitable murder-suicide :/ . like I don't think happy endings in queer media shouldn't be "allowed" to exist or whatever I just think tbh honestly to be honest that those creators need to think and be more responsible and let me have my boundary of nottttt wanting to see that. this is because I feel it's really important for me to see myself represented and reflected positively on screen and the real truth of my lived experience is that I'm gay and evil and I'm not going to make it.

Ok I tried this and it was a HUGE hit!

Main recommendations: Season the dough AND season the filling. Also, make smaller loafs, about the size of a spatula head, for easy flipping!

Here’s how they look! Recipe below (doubled bc I have a big family).

Loaded Potato Loafs

Poke holes in and boil 6 large potatoes until soft

Peel potatoes (do this after boiling to retain nutrients and get the texture needed for the dough)

Mash into a smooth puree

Add 4 tablespoons of melted butter

Add 10 tablespoons of flour

Add a bit of pepper and a good amount of garlic salt

Mix until it forms a soft dough

Lay out plastic wrap and grease with a little oil

Place 1/8 of the dough into the plastic wrap and flatten it into a round shape

Add shredded cheese, shredded chicken, bacon bits, more garlic salt, chives, and Italian seasoning.

Grab the plastic wrap and use it to fold each edge of the dough over, starting with parallel ends. Make sure the dough is sealed all over and doesn’t break. It should be about the size of a spatula head for easy flipping.

Airfry two at a time. Fry one side at 450 degrees for 7 minutes

Flip with spatula and airfry other side for another 7 minutes

ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE EATING

🥔 picture perfect babey🥔

Couple of notes:

Season the shit outta this thang

Like it’s actually fucking crazy that neither cook in the video mentions seasoning 🤨

Don’t overstuff with fillings if you’re frying in oil bc it might lose structural integrity and fall apart on the flip

I filled mine with just cheese and hot dog bits (it’s what was immediately available and I’m lazy) and topped it with some ketchup + mustard to go with the hot dog theme

It was bomb as fuck chef kiss 😚👌💋

I’ll definitely be making again and trying new fillings; this recipe is pretty much endlessly customizable
