@inneskeeper this seems relevant to your interests
BUT WAIT! THEREâS MORE! SHE DOIBLES DOWN!
It is actually rare that I get shown stuff that could ACTUALLY be the spawning point of a new and proper named heresy within Holy Roman Catholicism.
âJesus actually survived the crucifixionâ is legitimately one of the most terrifyingly viable heretical traditions you could start. It fulfills the exact ramifications for a popular and overwhelming heresy: It supports and glorifies Christâs strength (so powerful he could not die in a meaningful way), encouraging different theological philosophies and understandings of the source material, and is COMPLETELY RUINOUS about the WHOLE POINT of Jesus as the Lamb of God. He is destined to die to take on the sins of all humanity forever so we can br forgiven. The death and the resurrection of Christ after his journey into Hell for three days is cosmologically as important as the Trinity. It is one of the pivotal foundations of the entirety of the religion.
If Jesus didnât die, he didnât die for us. That changes a LOT of things. But it is at its root a heresy which is not anti-Christian and is instead just a completely irreconcilable veneration.
I love this woman. I need to encourage her to be like this.
tOxIcItY iS a ChArAcTeR tYpE this is fucking amazing
Okay itâs been several hours and Iâm still not even slightly over this.
Like, Jesus said âI am the resurrection and the life, except the resurrection bit is metaphorical, because Iâm too swole to actually die.â
âFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, but not really, for he made his only begotten son super fucking butch. Like, obviously way too butch to actually succumb to a little crucifying.â
âPilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. The centurion said to him, âJesus is too shredded to kill, heâs like the Terminator, nothing can take him out.â Pilate sent Joseph away with nothing, for Jesus was indestructible.â
âThe angel said to the women, âDo not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified but absolutely did not die. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was just taking a little nap. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: âHe never died, you all really jumped the gun this time.ââ
âThe Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, but it would take an atomic bomb to kill him, heâll be fine.â
Iâm sorry Iâm still stuck on the idea that Jesus couldnât possibly be a âweak, frail, emotional manâ when the shortest and best-known line in the Bible is âJesus weptâ and three out of four Gospels describe Jesus as being extremely emotionally upset and anxious in the Garden of Gethsemane, to the point that in Lukeâs gospel heâs described as sweating blood (which is a real thing that happens when your capillaries burst out of extreme stress).
The Gospel of Luke, according to this lady:
Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, âSit here while I go over there and pray.â He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him. Jesus said to them, âIâm honestly not even really bothered about this, but Iâd appreciate it if you stayed up with me. You know, like a sleepover.â Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, âMy Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Not because itâs a big deal or anything, itâs just really annoying and Iâd rather not.â And then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping, and was really bummed out about it, because heâd been hoping to play a few rounds of Go Fish with them before he was betrayed.
For he shall grow up before him as the most rugged, aggressive, unkillable weed⊠he shall be super ripped; and when we shall see him, heâs just gonna be like, super masculine and amazing, you have no idea. (Isaiah 53:2)
âTake My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for my muscles are super big and I am strong and brutal of heart, and you will find rest for your souls.â (Matthew 11:29)
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priestâs servant, and cut off his right earâŠÂ Then said Jesus unto Peter, âYeah! Get him!â and then he decked the guy while he was down for good measure. (John 18:10-11)
And of course, we mustnât forget the first few verses of Jesusâ most well-known sermon, the Sermon On The Mount:
Blessed are the strong in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that suck it up: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the aggressive: for they shall inherit the earth.
(Matthew 5:3-5)
But one of the soldiers with a spear tried to pierce his side, but lo, the Lordâs abs did break the spear asunder (John 19:34)
âThink not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. The sword is also my fucking huge dick, in this metaphor.â (Matthew 10:34)

a team of the most skilled writers in the country couldnât achieve the same visceral reaction to anything that this clip got out of me the first time i saw it
so fucked up that i have to take care of my body everyday. what if sometimes i feel sad about the maintenance
why did no one tell me quantum computers looked like that
what the fuck
Are you in the USA? I cannot stress this enough: search your state's unclaimed property site to see if there is anything in your name.
I just got a check for nearly $900 that I didn't know about. Apparently it was sent to me at the end of 2019 and I never got it, so it was sent on to Unclaimed Property.
My friend checked the state he used to live in. He didn't have any unclaimed property of his own. But his dad, who died 20 years ago, had over $10,000 in unclaimed property. My friend is the heir, so he gets that money.
It involves a little paperwork to get the money but it's so worth it!
You can search ALL states using MissingMoney.com. And I recommend that you search ALL states - sometimes you might get a surprise about post property in another state (as my friend did with his dad!)

DO NOT VOLUNTEER TO BE A CO-SIGNER OR GUARANTOR FOR SOMEONE ON TUMBLR.
I just saw a 'mutual aid' post going around where instead of asking for donations, the person was asking someone to be a "guarantor" - also known as a "co-signer" - for their rent.
DO NOT DO THIS.
I am all for mutual aid. I think credit scores are a scam designed to fuck poor people. I get it. I do. BUT. Being a guarantor/co-signer for someone basically means that if they don't pay what they owe, for whatever reason, their landlord, bank, creditors, etc. can and will come after you for the full amount.
It seems like such an easy way to help someone. You don't need to pay any money, just lend them your name and good reputation so they can get permission to borrow and spend their own money. It feels like you're getting one over on the shitty capitalist system and using your privilege of good credit/income to help someone else.
But it is a HUGE risk. Do not do this. All it does is give that shitty system more ways to get their hooks into you and create tons of problems for you down the line.
You can really fuck yourself over in the long run by getting tangled up in a financial situation like this. Even co-signing for someone in your life who you trust, like a sibling or a parent, can be really risky. No matter how much you trust someone not to purposefully leave you holding the bag, now you're on the hook if they end up with financial problems neither of you anticipated.
Do not co-sign for another person's loan, car, rent, etc. unless you are able and prepared to pay the full amount or subject yourself to the mercy of whatever that person gets themselves into.
ESPECIALLY do not do this for someone on the internet, where scams are rife. Do not share your personal information with people online and NEVER allow someone else to use your personal information for their finances.
Here is an article with more information.
I... I can't believe this is actually a thing that's happening. Babies, PLEASE don't cosign for someone on social media! Even if it's someone you trust, it can go tits-up real fast. We talk about it in this episode of the podcast:
Season 1, Episode 3: "My Parents Have Bad Credit. Should I Help by Co-signing Their Mortgage?"Â
[â⊠the American construction of modern heterosexuality was inseparable from white-supremacist gender norms. White male social reformers, who possessed far greater power and authority than civil rights and feminist activists, defined healthy heterosexual marriage in their own image and according to their own interests. Marital rape may have been discouraged by white male marriage experts of the twentieth century, but their emphasis on menâs entitlement to womenâs emotional and reproductive labor, and womenâs ostensibly innate vulnerability, virtue, and tendency toward self-sacrifice, ensured that modern heterosexuality served the interests of white supremacy. As the Black feminist scholar Hortense Spillers illuminates, whites treated Black people with such dehumanizing, âungenderingâ brutality during slavery and its aftermath that whites effectively barred Black men from the kind of patriarchal power that constituted masculinity and Black women from the kind of purity and fragility that constituted femininity. Slavery and anti-Black racism positioned Black people outside the boundaries of a white gender binary, as threats not only to white ideas about normative masculinity and femininity but also to white men and womenâs unity with each other. Illustrating the inseparability of modern heterosexuality and white supremacy, many early white feminists based their arguments for nonviolent marriage and womenâs rights on the claim that bringing white women closer to equality with their husbands would ensure that white people remained a united front against Black civil rights. If white men forged egalitarian, companionate bonds with white women, they argued, then white women would offer race loyalty in return.
In sum, eugenicists, sexologists, and social reformers of the early twentieth century ushered in three concepts that would become enduring features of the heterosexual-repair industry. First, they exposed the ubiquity of violence and mutual loathing in heterosexual relationships but also reassured their readers that these were natural impulses in need of simple management. Rape could be curtailed by sexual and anatomical education. Mutual disgust could be diminished by better hygiene and beautification of the body. Communication between the sexes could be improved if couples read and discussed, together, the right marital literature written by knowledgeable guides. Second, they secured their own role and the role of expert white professionals more generallyâphysicians, sexologists, and later, psychologistsâin defining modern heterosexuality and repairing heterosexual problems. By naming menâs and womenâs ignorance of the unique temperament and anatomy of the opposite sex as the source of straight couplesâ problemsârather than, say, patriarchy and white supremacyâearly promoters of modern heteroromance introduced self-help projects, guided by marriage experts, as the new normal. Heterosexual desire and mutual likability did not come naturally, they acknowledged, but could be cultivated with the proper tools. Last, they accepted the premise that women and men often found each otherâs bodies undesirable and hence advocated for the consumption of beauty products that help stimulate opposite-sex desire. Laying the foundation for the midcentury explosion of beauty interventions targeted to women attempting to appear âfreshâ and âlovelyâ for their husbands while laboring at home, eugenicist advocates for hygienic and modern marriage offered soaps, perfumes, makeup, douching, and other consumer goods as keys to happy heterosexuality. They made explicit that heterosexual marriage was no longer a labor contract in which both parties showed up âas isâ but an ongoing affective project requiring access to precise tools and information that would build mutual affection.
Each of these interventions set the stage for straight cultureâs emergence as the romantic arm of misogyny, wherein the delicate coexistence of hate and love, the slap and the kiss, would come to represent the heteroerotic. But this era also initiated straight culture as a gendered mode of consumption in which the purchase of beauty products and relationship advice were vital to maintaining this delicate balance.â]

Fortune
[ID:
The first image shows a black man wearing a black hoodie with the word 'free' in capital letters sitting cross-legged next to a gravestone reading: The man fortune. Died 1798. Buried September 13, 2013. Child of God. Free at last.
The following two images show a text reading: Fortune, his wife Dinah and their 3 children were slaves of Preserved Porter, a Connecticut bone doctor. In 1798, Fortune slipped from a rock on the west bank of the Naugatuck river, broke his neck and drowned. At the time, dissecting cadavers was illegal; but not applying to slaves, Dr. Porter cut him into pieces at the riverbank. At his office, he boiled the bones so that all the flesh fell off, etched labels into them and used them as a medical training tool. Dr. Porter died 6 years later, listing the bones as worth $15 ($330 today).
Prior to his death, Dr. Porter used the bones to teach anatomy to his son; who used them to teach anatomy to his grandson; who used them to teach his daughter... 135 years of generational doctors and wealth. In 1933, his name long forgotten, the family donated the bones to the Mattatuck Museum where they were displayed next to slave tools as "Larry the slave"; a popular exhibit shown on their postcard; not taken down until 1970 when the Museum realized that it was demeaning. They stored them in the basement.
In 1999, made aware of these bones in the basement, the NAACP and museum staff enlisted anthropologists and archeologists to examine them, ultimately determining this was Fortune. Based on bone density, he was a strong man who lived and work with a broken back, hand and died of a broken neck.
On Sept. 13th, 2013, after being a slave, medical specimen, museum exhibit and archeological artifact, spanning 275 years, Fortune was finally freed...laid to rest next to White society of his time...something that wouldn't have been allowed when he died.
This is not an isolated story. Medical usage of Black and Indigenous people in ways prohibited of Whites was not uncommon. Since I still can't find my GG Grandfather (Ned Mills), Erica and I decided to make a donation to the Assoc for the Study of African American Life & History, as well as to make a regular pilgrimage here to leave flowers for Fortune.
Black History is American History and Black Lives Matter. If not to you, I got this. My actions will show they always have and still do...no statute of limitation. Now rest, Fortune.

not to get political but im begging you guys to stop coming to hawaii. in maui theyre asking to put a âpauseâ on flights bc we literally do not have enough room or staff to service you. the roads are so full that its causing a major backup when ppl need to get to work.
on top of this, i heard that by September? theyre expecting to get rid of the mask rule (if 70% of ppl are vaccinated/all goes well) but ill be honest w/ you, i know many locals arent getting the vaccine and i know plenty of tourist arent gonna take the necessary precautions.
homeless hawaiians arenât even allowed to sit or lay on sidewalks to keep up the âparadiseâ image for tourists
âHawaiâi has the highest rate of homelessness per capita among the 50 statesâ (another source)
do you remember when zuckerburg bought hawaiian land in kauai? then filed lawsuits agasint families that lived their? that land BELONGS to the natives and its extremly harmful to the community.
at this very moment, hawaii is one of the most EXPENSIVE places to live on top of not having a liveable minimum wage ($10.10) this is why many children still live w/ their parents (+ having no space) in order to SURVIVE here, youd have to work full time for at least $15.50 (more links)
in this article it states that âThe Living Wage Calculator from the MIT says that one adult in Honolulu needs to make $16.59 per hour for a living wage. If that is a couple with 2 children, each adult needs to make $17.70 per hour.â
everything is more EXPENSIVE; food, household appliances, clothing, etc bc everything is shipped there.
âthe median price for a single family home in Hawaii was $885K. Condos are selling at a median of $454K.â
âAverage rent in Hawaii (Oahu) for a studio will vary based on location but expect to pay around $1,670 with Waikiki studios going from $1,400 to about $1,700.  Average rent for one bedroom apartments in Hawaii (Honolulu, Oahu)  is $1,743â
PLEASE stop vacationing in / moving to the occupied Kingdom of HawaiÊ»i. You are actively participating in violent settler colonialism when you do, even if you arenât white. Never in my whole life have I seen our airport THIS packed!!! Our islands cannot support this many people â especially during our dry season and in the middle of a PANDEMIC!
Tourism makes it impossible to keep up with the rising cost of living. It brings in revenue and with that, becomes the fake stateâs priority. Tourism pushes native Hawaiians from their land and homes, puts locals at risk for covid19, directly harms the delicate environment and native species here, houseless folk (many whom are native Hawaiian) are being illegally swept to make room for tourists at beaches, and locals are being restricted and fined for using water on east Maui, all while hotels can use up all the resources no problem and our government approves a million dollar home construction for new part-time residents (when locals who have been here for generations are being thrown into poverty, barely staying afloat, losing businesses and even their homes). âHawaiâi has become the Blood Diamond of the Pacific. We are mined for our splendor, and our residents live the every day, complex consequences.âÂ
Itâs absolutely VILE what is happening here. I hope yall know that HawaiÊ»i was overthrown and occupied by the US military, and isnât even legally a state! HawaiÊ»i is not your vacation spot, so you better tell your family and friends to stay at home.
Here is a linktree by my friend with petitions to protect sacred, native Hawaiian land on Kauaʻi and Molokaʻi. Sign them.
Here are a few KÄnaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) folk in need you can donate to (if you know more please add to my thread!)
