As a result of all this, many of us have developed ‘Machine’ imaginations. If, from a Christian worldview, we want to un-‘Machine’ our minds, it might help by opening our imaginations to the nature of reality as expressed by that worldview. This could happen in different ways, like spending more time in prayer, or through meditation on Scripture.  For example, if God thinks and feels and speaks—if God has something like a ‘mind’—then maybe to be fully human means exercising our own mental functions, and not enfeebling them through excessive device use. Or, if God is face-to-face relationship as a Trinity, then our real center is not within us, but within the other—in our real relationships. And if God made the earth, plants, and animals, then maybe being human means staying physically close to these things.   All that might sound very basic, yet in all these areas—mind, relationship, nature, embodiment—the ‘Machine’ competes against God, by framing every part of reality as a biological mechanism or a simulation, to be manipulated according to our caprice. I think this is where the real battle is—a battle to answer the question, “What is reality?”

tumblr trying to be like tiktok then trying to be like twitter then giving us the 3rd unreality inducing immersive ad, its staff members being condescending to the userbase, the marketing team trying to parasocialize their way into your pockets, youtube trying to do away with adblockers after upping the percentage of ads by 40% and making it so even if your video is demonetized watchers will still get them, youtube removing the dislike button then making it so you don't get a home feed if you have watch history turned off, google being able to remove your synched bookmarks if they don't comply with their policy, if i listed every way in which twitter has gotten worse in the last year this post will be as long as a novel, ai generated articles and images everywhere, google searches sucking ass in general, reddit charging for its api, KOSA being introduced into the US senate, tiktok in general, every social media under the fucking sun introducing log in walls, being unable to browse most sites on mobile from the sheer amount of popups taking over your screen WAUUUGH social media being products and thus requiring infinite growth and thus trying to introduce newer and newer shit that alienates its dedicated userbase. saturated sludge era of the internet

I've mostly left Tumblr. But still lurk. Have considered putting more on here, but I think that reblogging may counterproductive to how I would want to share content. Is there a way to turn off reblogging from all posts of a particular tumblog? I know it can be switched off per-post, but can it be disabled for a particular blog (such as a secondary blog)?

today is trinity sunday.  the athanasian creed, which ive seen dated from the 6th to 9th centuries, is one of the most standard formal descriptions of the trinity.  if youd like to read it for the first time, refresh yourself, or just think about it, i illustrated it here.

We do not need inclusive universities, businesses or societies.

We need non-exclusive universities, businesses and societies.

There is a significant difference.

“It  has been said that there are two kinds of people in the world: sinners  who think they are saints, and saints who know they are sinners. A saint is a Christian who lets God’s light shine through, and whose life has been transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

In Christ, death does not divide us, for the saints are not dead, but alive in Christ Jesus. Glory to Jesus Christ Who is glorified in His saints.
