Do you ever read a five paragraph Trad Cath or Orthobro post arguing against ecumenism and the general idea of a peaceful life and thank God for making you a Protestant?

Please stop being nonbinary too. God only created one gender. You must conform to that.

THERES ONLY ONE NOW?????

what's the point of initiating conversations with people when 99.9% of them turn out to be normies

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

okay. how do I put this. if you approach interactions with strangers as if the vast majority of them are unbearable losers who aren't worth your time, you will find yourself not liking most of the people you meet because you'll be looking for any excuse to write them off as unbearable losers. I know this is hard to hear but sometimes the problem is you.

Everything I read about recovering from burnout is like “it takes months or even years to fully recover” and it’s like okay…. I have a weekend before I gotta clock in on Monday

When u hear your friend john talking shit about someone but you’re in church so you tell him to tone it down:

And this isn't out of nowhere. It's a natural extension of having a Google device in your pocket so you don't have to retain any information. You can just look up anything you need to know. Which also trains you to be dependent.

Out of all the residents of Kiersau do you have a favourite? Do you have a favourite pentiment character overall?

Illuminata was my favorite abbey character to write. She probably got more of my writing time than anyone else at Kiersau and she was an interesting character to develop. I think I originally conceived her as being even more strict and uptight, but as I continued iterating on her, I found sympathy and leniency in her.

On one of my last writing passes, I added a branch in Act I where you can ask her if she prefers the strict Father Gernot to the lenient Father Mathias. She says it's her duty to obey so it doesn't matter, but, "... every child would prefer that their parents err toward love. To err toward love is to stumble at the feet of God."

She's strict and judgmental but in the end she bends toward forgiveness and grace.

re: last night’s Incident

if you ever see me post an AI generated image, please assume it is because I am fucking stupid and not because I support and use generative AI. the search results on many search engines and picture sharing websites are absolutely infested with AI and I do my very best to avoid AI generated images but there is always the possibility that I will not notice because, again, I am not terribly observant and I don’t have good eyesight. I know it is frustrating and I know it is my responsibility to look into the image source but things will slip through the cracks, please inform me instead of assuming I know

sorry but once you notice how often ppl use a southern accent as shorthand for being unintelligent you can never unsee it. classism is baked so deeply and why are you acting like anyone who talks the way my grandfather talks is stupid.

[in-the-drowning-deep]

ditto cockney accents being used to denote stupid and evil. why are you acting like someone who talks like a member of the working class is irredeemable and an idiot.

this june we are 1) receiving the Holy Spirit, 2) gazing in love and adoration upon the Sacred Heart of Christ, and 3) transing our genders
