growing up in a mostly scent-free home makes you realize how stinky everywhere is

[saint-ambrosef]

im serious though. it feels like everywhere i go is drenched in artificial fragrance. people wearing perfume/cologne, air fresheners, candles, lotions, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies.

why does everyone need things to smell. i think its hard for people to get perspective as to how overly-scented we make the world (unnecessarily) unless you purposefully try to take a step away from it in some respects.

If Native folks are making it to sell to white people with the approval of their tribe, it’s not “appropriation”–its support and appreciation! So yes, buy that native-made dream catcher, but not the mass produced fakes made by white people. Like, you can go to a pow wow and buy native crafts there, too.

This semester in college we’ve been working with a company in an indigenous museum to help their sales

They work with native artists in all of Brazil, so the site is in portuguese

Buying from indigenous artists is not appropriation!

why is it that coffee shop employees never know how to spell my name

[saint-ambrosef]

if everything God is "telling you to do" always ends in some sort of recognizably external or material benefit to you, girl you're confusing God for self-affirmation and you've fallen prey to prosperity gospel

I think a place of hurt a lot of single women are coming from, right or wrong, is youre told as a teenager to know your value in dating and it’s up to you to hold your standards but when you hold your standards so long you become a single woman at 30 you’re now the problem for never getting married

Actual working class people don’t want a revolution they want opportunity, stability, and to be left the hell alone.

in the lighthouse robert pattinson plays a man that has beef with a bird. and then in the boy and the heron he plays a bird-man that has beef with a boy. this leads me to belive his next role will be a man that has beef with a boy who is also a bird. and this is how i know robin is going to be in the batman 2.

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

#i love prayer plants but they're fussy so I don't keep them#can we have a picture op they're so pretty

Behold, Dorothea

(Naming my plant "Gift of God," and then giving her to a seminarian with just the explanation that it's a prayer plant? Okay, that's my bad.)

[jewish-joy]

I should also add- I ran into my rabbi and explained the situation. I then asked, earnestly, if there was a remedy. A mikveh of sorts, or a beit din, or something.

He turned to me, sighed, and said in a very deadpan tone-- "Plants don't have covenants, Joy,"

So Dorothea's a free agent according to rabbinic opinion. I guess I'll permit her to be Roman Catholic.

Andrew Tate is complaining his jail cell isn't nice enough. How's he tweeting this if he has no contact with the outside world?

i think too many people reach for the word unforgivable when what they actually mean is inexcusable
