sarah laughs in god's face. moses refuses the prophetic call. jeremiah refuses the prophetic call. elijah tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. jonah tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. psalmist 88 tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. saul goes right ahead and does kill himself. jacob sees god in the wilderness and tackles him. noah tells god he's a liar. micaiah ben imlah makes god a liar. if scripture has anything to say about the god-us relationship, it's that he doesn't fight fair, and so we shouldn't, either

you have to love trans women more than you hate transmisogyny, you have to love jews more than you hate antisemitism, you have to love Black people more than you hate white supremacy, you have to love Indigenous people more than you hate colonialism, you have to love the disabled and mentally ill more than you hate ableism, you have to love. you have to love.

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

There's this video of nuns talking about their favourite things to do outside of nun activities and one of them says "ultimate frisbee" and the other one goes "and sister you are so good at that." I literally cannot get "and sister you are so good at that" out of my head. Out of all my stims this one is my fav lolol

Remember when Pope Francis said faggotry and then had to apologize for it

AND THEN he got caught saying it AGAIN and had to apologize a second time

And then it turned out the word he was using was specifically a word that’s intercommunal gay Italian slang

And since he’s Argentinian that means someone had to have taught him that word

And he had to have been comfortable enough with it and its contexts to use it not once but twice in official closed door meetings as pope

RIP king one of the funniest things you’ve done tf do you mean there’s an air of faggotry in Rome of course there is, fork found in kitchen

All girls these days know how to do is be lesbian, obsess over niche medieval theology, hyperfixate on Mary Mother of God and yearn.
