Dear queer Christian, dear queer person,

You are worth the fight.

Stay alive

"The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same"

goodbye Marjane Satrapi, rest in peace 🕊️

Would god still have some love for someone who forsakes their faith every once in a while? Or is there no forgiveness for constant blasphemy in such a manner

you think this god's has a policy of "no forgiveness"? have you read his stuff?

I remember still the speech of a priest who told all about a rock that was thrown at a display of an icon of Christ outside, the Priest then proceeds to use the rock as the first brick of a monastery, or perhaps of a hospital. For out of hatred love grows, this symbol of detestation shall be the one who holds all the bricks together as the house is served for the poor.

i loooove little moments of human connection. i love it when a stranger has something good happen to them and you get to be a part of the celebration for a moment. i love it when it starts raining and you and a stranger get to say wow its really coming down out there! i love it when something happens and you and a stranger get to share a look. i will never see you again but we did experience something together and for just a moment we were a pair! i genuinely live for that shit

May you be filled up with hope, again and again and again. Slowly but surely, assured no matter how tenuously so, like the waiting out of the flood in the rainfall. As many times as you need, as many times as you are knocked down and emptied of it, as we human beings often are. May the patience to hold out for the hope to fill you always prevail, and may it return to fill you up, indeed.

yknow, I think it's really beautiful to think that Love itself created the universe, created us. Love predates everything, and Love conquers everything.

what he says: I’m fine

what he means: Jesus crucified and Jesus resurrected must both be proclaimed and the tendency of our culture to remove one or the other completely is a scary indication of the deadly polarization that is occurring. Mercy and justice are one and the same; to proclaim justice alone with no mercy is to bar people from entering the faith and to proclaim mercy alone with no justice is to distill the faith until it becomes little more than an aesthetic. To take away Jesus’s cross is to rob Him of His throne; to ignore His resurrection is to forget His victory.

1) any stretching is better than no stretching

2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable

3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

Keep making things

Human-made things

There ARE still those of us who will wait patiently for human made art, who will engage with and think deeply about your art and who will support creators without being assholes

The more you make your art, collectively, the more non-Al stuff there is for anti-Al folks to engage with

It doesn't matter if a million Al pieces are pumped out to your one human-made piece.

Because there are those of us who will never touch Al-generated slop. We need you and your human art or else there is nothing left

Al is not sustainable artistically, socially, or technologically. It will eventually collapse, and restorative efforts for the environment are still being put into motion. They're still working, every day

And you're not alone. There are still so many artists creating, again, collectively

Human artists still manage to outnumber the Al slop I see a million to one

So don't give up. Keep living, and keep creating. It's actually more important now than ever

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

god is your grandmother's voice. he's your favorite cookies. he's the color of your loneliness. he's the nasturtiums on the ceiling, the ones that look like icing. he's the noncon e tag. he's the tune of the lyre. he's the narratives you tell of him
