Been looking for this

[lauralot89]

Jesus Christ was a brown Jew in the Middle East, conceived out of wedlock in an arguably interracial if not interspecies (deity and human) relationship, raised by his mother and stepfather in place of his absent father.  He may not have had a Y chromosome.  He spent his early youth as a refugee in Egypt, where his family no doubt survived initially on handouts from the wealthy (You think they kept that gold, frankincense, and myrrh from the wise men?  Hell no, they sold that stuff for food and lodging).  He later returned with his parents to their occupied homeland and lived in poverty.

The religion of Jesus’s people has no concept of a permanent hell and instructed its priests on how to induce miscarriages.  Jesus explicitly rejected the concept of disability as a divine punishment.  He spoke out against religious hypocrites.  He had enough respect for women to let his mother choose the time of his first miracle.  He blessed a same sex couple.  He told a rich man that he must give up his wealth to get to heaven, and also told a parable about a rich man suffering in agony in presumably Gehinnom (basically Purgatory) just to hammer the point home.  He told people to pay their taxes.  He declared “love your neighbor” to be one of the two commandments on which all laws hang.  He commanded his followers to help the poor.  He commanded them to help the sick and the needy.  He spent time with social outcasts.  He healed the servant of a high priest during his arrest rather than fighting back.  He was put to death by the occupying government because he was a political radical.

Trump and his administration are xenophobic, misogynistic, racist, fear-mongering, warmongering, tax-dodging, anti-Semitic, anti-choice, anti-welfare, anti-equal pay, anti-LGBTQIA+, anti-immigration, support tax cuts for the rich, support Citizen’s United, want to keep refugees out of this country, want to limit our ability to speak against the government, plan to abolish the Affordable Care Act, and they wrap all of that up behind a banner of “Christian family values.”  If you support them, you have no right to call yourself a follower of Christ.

it’s so rare, yet so fulfilling, to see the J-man on my dash

[killerchickadee]

One of my friends is literally the most religious Christian I have ever met. What does that mean in regards to her lifestyle and outlook? She loves everyone. EVERYONE. Unconditionally. And she supports healthcare and education and birth control and everything that’s necessary to have a healthy, stable society.

Because that’s what her homeboy JC would want.

My wish is for you to feel special. But not at the cost of anything. Simply because someone saw the authentic person you are and took time to appreciate it.

[gymhairdontcare]

Sometimes when you get yourself to the gym and you have a bad workout, you need to be proud of yourself for just getting there.

Okay so...

This is the first time I've been on Tumblr in MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS. And oh God... I missed it. How did I forget how LOVELY AND HILARIOUS AND MEME-FILLED AND GIF-FILLED this place was?!?!

[finallyfindingsarah]

The Start of Something (long ass post but read please?)

Okay, so. Let's just say I've been falling off the metaphorical wagon for the past several months now. My reasons that I gave power to over the last several months: -time -money -I'll get back into it after (insert excuse here) -healthy stuff is expensive -late hours Also, I've been incredibly STUBBORN with the idea of losing weight and becoming less plus size. Because let me just make one thing clear: I LOVE my body. I may not look the "best" in a tight dress but I can't help appreciating what I see in the mirror. Additionally, I'm an actress. And I don't want to play into the "must be thin and beautiful to be cast and fit in." I want to change the culture and boundaries of how we fit bigger bodies into stories. I want to be a part of that. The fear people have surrounding the word "fat" pisses me the fuck off. Many people are fat and healthy. Many people love their bodies and are proud of fat with a big F. I'm constantly trying to eliminate that fear in other people (and myself) by being confident and rocking the whatever I'm wearing. I watch my friends who are healthy (not by weight but by more important, scientific standards) become so so anxious over their thighs or rounding cheeks of their face. To me that is fear. As in Harry Potter: "Fear of the name only increases fear of the thing itself" (if I quoted this inaccurately, you get the muggle-effing point.) But, after all that, I realized I was so FEARFUL of what others thought. If I lost weight, it was a sign of: - not being confident in my body - not loving myself - being fearful of fat - that I had finally "come to my senses and realized it was time to be healthy" And maybe, somewhere, those things aren't far from truth. They've all loudly whispered in my ear and heart from time-to-time. So today. I signed up for Weight Watchers. It feels different this time than in the past. I'm grown up (mostly, haha) and confident in who I am. But I'm not healthy. I can't walk up 4 flights of stairs without breathing heavy. I don't go on hikes with friends for fear of slowing them down. I can't do a push up. I can't defend myself. I can't run for more than a minute at a moderate pace. Lastly, I don't give my body that I appreciate so much the fuel it deserves. I put my body through hell with what I feed it. It makes me feel physically ill but I still eat it out of convenience. I don't want anymore negatives in my life like the ones above. I want more positives. So today. I started something.

2016

I've been trying to think of what I really want from 2016. Here's what I've come up with: 1. Do 40 push-ups without stopping 2. 10 tri-dips 3. Find an agent 4. Book something 5. 10 minute mile I'm no longer allowing myself to set goals around weight. I truly believe this is achievable. Here's to keeping it on my brain for the next year! What's yours?

“And since we all came from a woman

Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman

I wonder why we take from our women

Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?

I think it’s time to kill for our women

Time to heal our women, be real to our women

And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies

That will hate the ladies, that make the babies

And since a man can’t make one

He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one

So will the real men get up

I know you’re fed up ladies, but keep your head up”
