WHY DOES THIS DANCE SEQUENCE FIT WITH EVERY SINGLE SONG

Ok,
So a few of you may know my story but for those who don’t, prepare yourselves. I’m a lesbian, but I prefer the term gay. I came out to my Mom in september, she was quiet and didn’t have much to say. Something went down in January that I...
I have no idea. But I’m so not sorry. XD
Will still do the OC Meme prompts.
Side note: I do randomly disappear for long periods of time with out warning. Going to try and finish something big and then get back to responses for Cardie.
“………….”
“……..*muffled grumbles*……”
“Zis is not zunny” Cardie growls. “Zis uas not to be seen by anyone……”
Isn’t it nice how people twist their religious scripture to suit their weds but when it’s used against them it’s suddenly not okay
I talked to a monk about this quote once (we have mutual friends, and he came to a New Year’s Eve party at my shared art studio). He said this isn’t even talking about homosexuality. That the bible never actually says homosexuality is wrong. What that passage means is this:
Women were treated as subservient and it that you shouldn’t treat other men as subservient, like they are beneath you. It is not talking about homosexuality. If it was, it would say it outright since the bible lists other things outright.
I take the word of a monk who have studied the bible extensively more than a self proclaimed Christian.
The above text, I would like to point out is from the point of view of this translation of the original Hebrew. I spoke with my cousin’s rabbi on the matter and his response was different, saying that it was a mistranslation. See, the true translation says that a man shall not lie with another in the bed of a woman, which is to say, the Hebrews had a shit ton of rules about when a man was or was not allowed in a woman’s bed and private quarters (including, if she didn’t want you there, you weren’t allowed there. Hebrew women were also allowed to divorce their husbands and the image of the ‘oppressive Hebrew people’ is an image that was propogated by Christianity which, historically speaking, doesn’t treat the Jewish people too well and liked to paint them as being rather barbaric and backwards and cultish with their traditions, which, another piece of fun info, their traditions were one of the main reasons why the Jewish people were less likely, in medieval times, to die of the plague. Because washing your hands and avoiding the dead and vermin and the like was a lot of help. Of course the Christians persecuted them for not dying but that’s another matter. I’m sidetracked). So the verse is literally saying ‘Don’t fuck in some lady’s bed because that’s just goddamn rude’
Also, whenever a Christian brings the book of Leviticus up, you should feel free to point out that these are rules that were given to make the Hebrew people prepared for when the son of God came to earth. In Christianity, it’s believed the son of God was Jesus. So by following the rules set in Leviticus or pushing them as things we should follow, they’re saying that Jesus was not the son of God, and that Jesus did not, in fact, die for our sins. Jewish people believe, in their faith, that the son of God hasn’t yet been born, so many choose to follow these rules.
Most people of course roll their eyes when I explain the translation of the verse (full breakdown found here) but it’s always fun to point out the nature of the rules in Leviticus and the implications of following them.
I’m a theology student and I am on the verge of crying because of how accurate this commentary is. Historical context is simultaneously the most interesting and most important part of interpreting any texts.
Most religious people seem to base their beliefs on things that are severely mistranslated. I wish they would do their research before using the bible for hate.
I studied theology extensively and was going to become a theologist until I switched majors. The above commentary is 100% accurate and what I try to stress in a lot if conversations with Bible Thumpers.
Jesus also affirms the homosexual relationship between the Roman Centurion and his “slave”. The particular Greek word used to refer to this special slave was “pais”. Greek language studies and contexts show that a “pais” was a male love slave. Regular slaves were called “doulos”. The Centurion makes this distinction clearly when he asks Jesus to heal his slave (pais), and then to prove his status he tells Jesus that his slaves (doulos) go when he tells them to. But this slave (pais) was special. He was the Centurion’s lover.
Hearing this, Jesus was so amazed he says he had not found ANYONE ELSE who had such great faith. He then blesses the Centurion and heals his male lover.
Matthew 8:5-13
THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY TEACHES ABOUT SAME SEX COUPLES.
In short, the English adaptation is a mistranslated farce.
I had never heard the above story, and reading this post I didn’t understand why Jesus would think the guy was such a huge example of faith, so I googled it.
And I discovered something brilliant. I can’t stop laughing.
Here’s what happens: the Centurion goes to Jesus and says “My pais is really sick, please, save him”, and Jesus is like “sure, take me to your house and I’ll heal him”. The Centurion then replies “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word.” And that’s why Jesus was so amazed, because the guy believed he could heal without even seeing the sick person.
I had never heard the story before, but man, had I heard the Centurion’s response. I remember it vividly from when I was, like, 3 to 6 years old and had to go to church with my grandparents. It is one of the sentences people have to keep repeating during catholic mass. It was, in fact, the very first problem I ever had with the catholic church. I never believed in god or anything religious, but I liked the church’s beautiful windows and the choir. What made me start to hate going to church was how much people had to constantly humiliate themselves and blame themselves for everything. I do deeply respect religious believes, but I hate the abuse organized religion can commit against it’s members, and the frequency with which that quote was repeated was one of my first hints of that.
So I can’t help being amused by discovering where it came from. C’mon! I don’t know about other christian religions, but catholics are devoutly quoting a non-straight man in church every week. A non-straight man who Jesus held as an example in front of a crowd.
This is gold. This is a treasure that will probably be very useful during this year’s Christmas family reunion. Matthew 8:5-13. Gotta memorize that.

Beauty is not long hair, skinny legs, tanned skin or perfect teeth. Believe me. Beauty is the face of who cried and now smiles, beauty is the scar on your knee since you fell when you were a kid, beauty is the circles when love doesn’t let you sleep, beauty is the expression on the face when the alarm rings in the morning, it’s the melted makeup when you have a shower, it’s the laughter when you make a joke you’re the only one who can understand, beauty is meeting his gaze and stopping understanding, beauty is your gaze when you see him, it’s when you cry for all you paranoias, beauty is the lines marked by time. Beauty is what we feel in the inside which also shows outside us. Beauty is the marks the life leaves on us, all the kicks and the caresses the memories leave us. Beauty is letting yourself live.

(I am working late at night in a 24-hour pharmacy. There are only three customers in the store: a scruffy but clean young couple and another gentleman. The woman in the young couple is very heavily pregnant, and her partner is picking up the range of baby hats we carry and holding them up against her stomach, then looking at the prices and sadly putting them back. They pick up a packet of the cheapest pain medication we carry and bring it to the counter.)
Female Customer: “I’m sorry, but can you please ask the pharmacist if these are safe for me to take?”
Me: “Of course!”
(While we’re waiting for the pharmacist to come out, they tell me they’re expecting their daughter any day now. The pharmacist has been watching the young couple since they came in.)
Pharmacist: “These are fine, but can I ask why you need them?”
Female Customer: “Oh, I have a horrible cough that’s making my back ache even worse. I can’t get to sleep.”
(The pharmacist goes through a list of cough medicines safe for her to take, before the young man shakes his head with tears in his eyes.)
Male Customer: “I’m sorry, I’ve just lost my job and we really can’t afford any of those. Sorry for wasting your time.”
Pharmacist: “That’s okay, but this packet is damaged, and legally I can’t let you take it. Seeing as it was the last one, let me and [my name] go look in the back for some more.”
(The pharmacist takes me out the back, where he puts three packets of name brand painkillers, four bottles of name brand cough syrup, a wheat bag for her back, a tin of formula, a packet of newborn nappies and a few of the hats the couple was looking at into a box. He hands me the box and tells me to take it out to them. I do and they both burst into tears, thanking us over and over again. They leave with huge smiles on their faces.)
Female Customer: “Thank you again!”
Other Customer: “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but over hear. Did you say you just lost your job at [local company]?”
Male Customer: “Yes, I was an IT tech.”
Other Customer: “I own [other computer store in the area], and I’m looking for a new tech. Can you start tomorrow?”
(There were tears all round that night. A week later, the young woman brought in her beautiful daughter and a giant batch of cupcakes for the pharmacy staff. Best night at work ever!)

[[STARRY NIGHT INTENSIFIES]]
1. Male eating disorders are on the rise — or more men are becoming brave enough to seek help. A January 2013 study estimated that 10 to 15 percent of anorexia and bulimia sufferers are male. Data from Britain’s NHS has shown a 66 percent increase in hospital admissions for male eating disorders over the last decade. It’s unclear whether this signals a vast increase in men struggling with disordered eating, greater awareness of how and where to get help, or both.
2. Men are affected by images of celebrities’ “perfect” bodies, too. “The Mask You Live In,” a new documentary from Jennifer Siebel Newsom, explores the pressure society puts on young boys to look and act “like a man.” Muscular, toned male bodies in the media are perhaps just as harmful as slim, pale female bodies.
3. Disordered eating in men may be linked to experiences of sexual harassment. A study released in May 2013 found that, among college-age participants, men who had experienced a high level of sexual harassment were more likely to purge or take laxatives than women who had gone through similar experiences.
4. Men who are critical about their bodies are less hopeful about finding a romantic relationship. According to an April 2013 study, the more often a male participant surveyed and judged his own body, the higher the level of body shame he experienced. In turn, men with a higher level of body shame were much less hopeful about their romantic prospects.
5. Treatment options are often tailored towards women — which can deter men from seeking help. I have noticed this and it SERIOUSLY pissed me off which is why you’ll see on my resources page why I’m beginning to specify treatment centers with programs tailored to men.
6. Men face unique challenges in explaining their illnesses to friends and family. ”It’s bad enough and hard enough for women to get help and be taken seriously, and men have to deal with an additional layer of stigma that supposedly challenges the way people see their masculinity and sexuality,” eating disorder activist and blogger Matt Wetsel told The Huffington Post in August 2011.

#ACTUAL CANON HARRY POTTER
Photographer James C. Lewis of Noire3000 | N3K Photo Studios was tired of the Media’s White Washing ; so in a series of Photographs,depicted some of the most famous Bible characters as people of African and Middle Eastern Origin.
“I think it is very important to see one’s self in the Scripture so that it may become real in their eyes. The whitewashing of the Bible has always bothered me. However I’m happy to now have the opportunity to give a different point of view.”
The series will be fully released on the 14th November in a three night exhibition.

ORIGINAL SOURCE [this does not belong to me, I’m just sharing it with you guys] ALICE IN WONDERLAND JAM TARTS There were a few chapters in Alice in Wonderland dedicated to these simple pastries. Some may remember the trial over who stole the Queen’s jam tarts, where absolutely nothing gets solved and the Queen shouts “off with their heads!” a lot. There was an old English nursery rhyme that no doubt inspired the jam tart drama of Alice in Wonderland, which you can find here. Jam tarts are a traditional English tea snack, especially for small children. They were most often made for “Nursery Tea,” a sort of High Tea for kids where milk is served instead of actual tea. Those who might be excited about the arrival of Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie could celebrate by making some of these and having a tea party… In a year. You’ll need tart tins and cookie cutters for this one. Ingredients 1 ¾ c. flour ¾ c. butter , chilled and diced ¼ c. superfine sugar 2 egg yolks 1 orange, rind grated 1 ½ c. jam of your choosing Directions 1. Blend the flour and butter to breadcrumbs in a food processor. 2. Add the sugar and blend again. 3. Add the egg yolks and the orange rind and pulse until it comes together, you may need to add a bit of water. 4. Wrap in saran wrap and chill for about 20 minutes. 5.Heat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. 6. Roll out the pastry as thin as possible and stamp out circles big enough to fit your jam tart tins with a cookie cutter. 7. Mould the circlular cut-outs into the tart tins. 8. Bake for 15 minutes then add small spoonfuls of jam to each and bake for another 5 minutes. Careful, the jam will get really hot!
