Broke: The Catholic faith has nothing to say to the modern world. It’s incompatible with life today. Humanity has grown beyond faith in divine or saintly persons and moral absolutes.

Woke: The Catholic faith has a lot to say to life today, and can be enthusiastically accepted by everyone if we just explain it so it isn’t misunderstood.

Bespoke: The Catholic faith is hard and challenging. It is radically opposed to our culture and the way that even most Catholics actually go about their daily lives. If we’re not being challenged in our internal attitudes and our external actions, we need to take a harder look at our faith.

I made a thing.

[pastelparrotlet]

I am learning to be okay with chipped nail polish, with stray threads on shirts and scuffs on boots.

I am learning how to live with hair that doesn’t lay straight, with teeth that are a little crooked and with eating foods that aren’t 100% ‘clean’ and ‘healthy’.

I am learning to stop looking at the clock, to take my time and to breathe, because an imperfect life is where perfection is found.

Really? Y’all are seriously going to claim that it’s “homophobic” to be concerned about an 11 year old boy dancing for the enjoyment of grown ass men at an adults only event in exchange for money?

Bitch, many of the people calling this shit out are LGBT themselves. Because it’s fucking creepy.

Allow me to reiterate. An 11 year old boy performed in drag at a gay club for men several times his age, at an event that was explicitly for people aged 21 or over, in exchange for money. You seriously don’t see anything wrong with that? This is the kind of shit that homophobic pundits would use against us.

YOU SHOULD BE OUTRAGED ABOUT THIS! THERE’S NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS SITUATION! THERE’S NOTHING THAT SHOULD BE CELEBRATED HERE!

[gestapoknallmuzik]

And here’s for anyone that still wants to pretend none of this is problematic in any way.

Here is the kid sitting next to Michael Alig. Well known methhead who was a drug addict/party personality in the 80s and served time for murdering his own friend with a hammer and cutting him into pieces.

In front of a painting that says “rohypnol”, a date rape drug.

[rtrixie]

Considering his parents are unemployed bums that basically depend on their 11 year old child for income, god knows what other situations they put him in for extra revenue. 

That this kind of stuff flies now without any authorities stepping in or at the very least the general public decisively condemning it shows just how absolutely morally rotten society has become. For “progress”, anything goes.

Russia Steps in After US Pressures WHO to Drop Healthy-Baby Resolution

A Russian delegation stepped in to right a wrong perpetrated by the Trump administration, as UN and WHO officials offered no resistance to US demands supporting big business at the expense of infant health.

"We feel that it is wrong when a big country tries to push around some very small countries, especially on an issue that is really important for the rest of the world," pointed out the Russian delegate, cited by Nytimes.com. "We were astonished, appalled and also saddened," noted UK advocacy group Baby Milk Action policy director Patti Rundall, a member of the WHA decision-making body since the late 1980s.

Toronto student arrested by Israeli forces for protesting demolition of Palestinian village

Michaela Lavis, one of three foreigners arrested Thursday, had been doing humanitarian work in the West Bank since late May

I bet you Trudeau will shed some tears and then do nothing.

And the Tories will continue supporting Israel no matter what.

holy shit dude

[firebirdscratches]

I was really shocked by this and dubious, so I decided to read further. There’s a great article about this here: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35813470 As it turns out, this is more like a halfway house. Prisoners usually begin their term in a prison more like one we’d typically recognize - bars on the windows, locked in their cells. But the emphasis there is on successful reintegration into society.  As their sentence progresses, with good behavior, they can move into a facility more like this, where their freedoms are still restricted, but they can do things like network with people outside of prison, search for employment, cook and clean and look after themselves, and begin making plans for their reintegration into society.  As a result, Norway has one of the lowest rates of recidisvism. 20% as opposed to America’s 76%.  It seems like a shocking idea to us because of where and how we live, but apparently, Norwegians are addressing the real problem. When you take people who can’t function well in society, and then…help them do that?…they….do. Without the crime-ing. 

[daxlo-ren]

Turns out treating people like human beings makes them more likely to act like human beings….

[liquidsodanium]

But won’t that incentivize some people to go back there since they get treated so well and get a nice room versus the streets?

[kompanie-mutter-deactivated2021]

If you read the post above, it says Norway’s recidivism rate - that is, the rate of released criminals who go on to be arrested again - is 20% versus 76% in the United States, so for the most part, no.

[theyoungestwhateleydaughter-dea]

Isn’t that white-lined black cross on a red field flag a Nazi flag? Are we going to talk about how wonderful it is a Nazi gets a nice halfway house?

Norway’s prison system is based around the notion of creating “good neighbours”.

[fiercefatfeminist]

It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs

[fiercefatfeminist]

Now. More. Than. Ever.

[princeoftheplayground]

Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.

[protectnevillelongbottom]

Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer. 

[inquisitivespirit]

I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer: 

“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “

[animatedamerican]

(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)

[scifibi77-deactivated20190412]

If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.

[meanieyards]

yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified 

[hollowedskin]

for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.

everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.

[quadriparesis-deactivated201908]

as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?

[wear-it-like-armour-bastard]

^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally

[soul-angelos-deactivated2023102]

For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.

Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.

Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.

[clairethehuntress-deactivated20]

In the horrible climate we’re currently in, please take note of this.

Reblogging this again for the guy-instructions

[geekandmisandry]

Same

[traditionalistmillennial]

One - yes, I agree that it is unkind to pull off someone’s hijab. It’s also fricking stupid and anyone who gets a thrill off this is would make an eight-year-old  look mature.

Second - a woman being forced to wear a hijab is a symbol of oppression. Real feminists in Middle Eastern countries rebel by not wering the hijab. Anyone who wears a hijab and proclaims they are a feminist is a fake.

Women are claiming they’re going on a ‘sex strike’ if Roe vs Wade gets overturned.

Looks like we’ve figured out how to de-thot the nation.

[higher-order]

[traditionalistmillennial]

This is what TED talks have come to. But is it really a surprise?

"Only 20-30% of child molesters are pedophiles." Give me a break.

"You probably know at least 1 pedophile." Time to get out the pitchforks.

The "distinguishing" between pedophiles and child molesters is absolutely ridiculous. Accept pedophiles otherwise they will molest children! GARBAGE.

"No one chooses to be a pedophile and no one can stop being one."

The only good thing from this is that TED talks removed the video and YouTube keeps trying to remove it as it is uploaded, showing that they at least feel some shame. Also notice the silence through the video. Usually, there will be applause, laughter, or comments of affirmation throughout a talk. No such thing here.

However, that doesn't mean we're safe from this happening again. Pedophilia is beginning to be pushed more and more in today's society. They will keep pushing as society begins to accept the idea just a little bit more.

[higher-order]

So apparently, this isn’t the first time that TED Talks has allowed pedophilia apologists onto it’s platform.

Bear in mind that this is the same organization that refused to publish a talk given by Rupert Sheldrake on ‘The Science Delusion’, so they clearly have the power to decide what gets seen online and what doesn’t.

RACISM BEING USED AS A TACTIC 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[traditionalistmillennial]

I agree that this is humorous, but racism?? Really? It’s racist when you can’t honestly tell two people apart but are trying your best? 

God. You can never please these people.
