Me, a devout Catholic, whenever I get ads from Planned Parenthood on YouTube, panicking about the new abortion restricting laws:

An important reminder:

You are important. Your submission is important. Your dominance is important. The cards you have been dealt are not a reflection of your importance as a human, and the sky is the limit as far as what you are capable and deserving of. You can do anything.

I am proud of you.

Here's my hot take today inspired by a conversation I had with Honeybee:

Any Catholics out there using Church teaching to justify prejudice of any kind, but in this case specifically, against our brothers and sisters in the LGBT communities need to check their hearts. Like making such a big fuss about gay marriage but staying silent on domestic violence, birth control use in marriage, sterilization, and cohabitation??? Cohabitation and gay marriage is the exact same sin. It has little to do with sexuality and more to do with the sanctity of marriage and the dignity of our bodies.

All criticism should be founded first and foremost out of love. If you have no love for your neighbor, then you need to attend to the log in your own eye first. I believe in what the Church says on same sex marriages, but let's remember what the actual sin is, and that we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves

@ all my Catholic followers I gotta ask:

What's your view on suffering and toil? While I know it is a huge part of our faith, do you think we are required to seek challenge and suffering so we can practice self denial? I feel like life already kinda throws enough at us to give to the Lord but some may say that we live in much cushier times, and that we have to continuously push ourselves to develop discipline. Idk this just feels a lot like the self flagellation and hair shirts to me. Like what part does happiness and joy play in our lives? Are we supposed to deny ourselves comfort or breaks? Whats y'alls take?

Okay this is because of my friend @kzizzles but to my Catholic peeps out there, if say I became an organ donor and my kidney was placed in someone else's body and I become a saint, is their body now technically a relic?🤔🤔🤔

My freshman year in university I had a roommate who would snack late at night/watch TV with the brightness pretty high, and my anxious ass had to hype myself up for like over an hour to gather the courage to speak up and ask her to turn the brightness down or something. I'd always imagine the worst like her getting mad at me or something but whe would always just be like "oh okay! :) Im sorry!" And I'd sit there like wow u wasted an hour freaking out about this.

In relationships its the same. You can freak yourself out about something for ages and then when you bring it up, the right person will always receive you with compassion and understanding. If they don't, probably not the best fit anyway. Im grateful Honeybee is so patient with my anxiety. Reality is often not as scary as my brain makes it out to be

@ every adult who keeps telling me I should get my doctorate even though I tell them I don't need it and don't really feel like getting one: hi please live your own life and don't try to live vicariously through mine:)
