just a bunch of thoughts and musings about life as a queer catholic

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

Translating this into tumblr's preferred public service announcement format for this kind of alert:

Alanna when she reveals her identity to Sir Myles: “I’m sorry, I know you already knew about me. Jon told me. But I wasn’t ready to tell you that I’ve been a girl all this time.”

Sir Myles:

I love being friends with prostitutes and transsexuals and artists and drug dealers and perverts and queers

Everyone talks about how Jesus drove the money changers and merchants out of the temple, but everyone glosses over the fact that he took the time to braid a whip. That would have taken a couple hours. I have braided leather before, and it takes a lot of time and effort. It may have even taken more than one day, all scripture says is, “And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple-“ there isn’t a time period given. But I would still say it was at least a few hours. he had to braid multiple cords, bind them together, make a handle, and fix the cords to the handle.

The point of this is that what he did was NOT impulsive. It was cold and calculated. Premeditated even.

I’m sorry I know this is a really great insight but all I can think of is Jesus sitting there making His whip and the apostles shuffling around nervously wondering who’s about to get it

[catholiccupcake]

That’s some really nice braiding Jesus, but uh… why are you making a whip? I don’t think Judas’ myrhhder joke was that bad.

I was Catholic. Now I'm West Coast agnostic. And I miss the guilt.

Somewhere out there, there is a gay couple named Adam and Steve who are getting very fed-up with hearing the same joke at every party.

I know this is an aside, but I can’t believe I’ve never noticed that Jesus is pouring out from a water bottle

Shoutout to the queer people who are forgotten. To the pockets of happiness you carved out of a society that hated you. To the moments of friendship and laughter that weren’t recorded. To the love and strength it took to just exist from day to day. 

Let’s give a moment of thought to the sapphic lovers who made a home with each other and were remembered as good friends. To the transgender women who snuck out at night and breathed in the city air as their true selves but always made it home before sunrise. To the men who held their loves hand when they were able to scavenge moments alone. To all of the forgotten faces and stories. To all the grand moments that will never be written in history books. Tonight is dedicated to you, our forgotten family.

So myself and two best friends got matching tattoos that say Κύριε ἐλέησον. It’s pronounced Kyrie Eleison and in ancient Greek means “Lord have mercy.” It’s one of the oldest Christian liturgical prayers and features in the Bible, and when Christianity became Latinised, it as one of the only surviving Greek prayers.

Just for fun I plugged it into Google Translate to see what modern Greek thinks of it and

10/10 A+ tat so glad its marked on my skin forever, would tattoo again
