I know many saints like to toot their own horn about the US needing to be founded as a Christian nation to lay the groundwork for the restoration. But as we fast in celebration of "religious freedom" we need to remember that just because we pitched a fit and got back on the military's list of recognized faiths, doesn't mean we're free to stop fighting the good fight just because we personally aren't inconvenienced anymore.

We are not, any of us, free until we're all free.

Which means you had better be bitching just as loud for the religious freedoms of Muslims, Pagans, Satanists, etc.

Pagans, Unitarian Universalists, atheists and other minority or unrecognized religious beliefs suffered especially under this last cut. Please educate yourself about their plight and keep them in mind.

Revised Pentagon religious codes drop pagans and other minority faiths. Here's what to know

In a list released in May, the Trump administration dropped atheists, the Unitarian Universalist Church and other minority faiths who have t

[deadgodjess]

"pride is over, time for wrath!"

"actually, it's disability pride month"

Solution: Disability Wrath Month

[puppygirllaika]

brutalism hatred over. let's get some hatred going for the intarnational styles. babygirl you didn't have to make everything into a panel.

[puppygirllaika]

"We have developed the technology to create hanging facades, where buildings can be made using interior steel frames with panels hanging off the sides, instead of those gross old buildings where their sturdy exteriors walls supported the structure. This has allowed us to achieve the ultimate dream of architecture, the most beautiful representation of form and function we can possibly imagine: Big Box. All buildings for the next 50 years will now be Big Box. Everyone loves Big Box."

[puppygirllaika]

Behold, architecture.

[charlizetheronsbush-official]

is this minoru yamasaki’s fault

[puppygirllaika]

i would strongly disagree with that. Yes, he designed one of the most famous building ever in the international style, the world trade center, but that wasn't until well into the development and adoption of the style across the architectural world. If anything, the main motif of his career is his arches, and he used them liberally at a time when the arch was well fallen out of favor specifically because of modernist styles like the international style that were obsessed with the advantages of the kind of squared off shapes that could be achieved with steel beams, with the architectural world moving away from more traditional arches. He did a lot of really cool and interesting things with them. it's why the bottom of the WTC looked like that. The man loved an arch.

Why'd they demolish it? Anyone know?

I understand there were a number of criticisms, for one it was in international style.

Pack it up lads, they're closing Greggs because it's too hot to run the ovens.

[mystrothedefender]

I work at one of the greggs that hasnt closed and its actually awful. Our fridges and ac are Struggling. Weve been given permission to wear shorts and vests instead of our uniforms, and we're disregarding our 'no shirt no service' rule 😂

[thatlittleegyptologist]

I hope you have instated the 'no money taken from bras or waistbands' rule, though. That one is important!

Greatest hits of FIFA cultural exchanges thus far:

Learning about flyovers and pyrotechnics at American games being a thing

Non-americans discovering the size of American football stadiums....for high schools in texas. Also the size of our stadiums in general.

Going to baseball games as a side treat! Lmao.

Non-americans losing their minds over "like, 100 petrol pumps," at buc-ees.

Related: Americans often forget how huge target and Walmart is.

People discovering American BBQ

Non-americans being obsessed with mid American restaurant chains like Golden Corral and Taco Bell

A lot of them really did feel god in this chile's apparently

The rightful obsession with waffle house

New understanding of American Big Drink With Ice supremacy as summer creeps in

Begrudging acceptance of mandatory water breaks during games

Americans realizing we have a Team USA and we are not, in fact, just "hosting our friends" from around the world — mostly because we won our first match and our team is decent??? Not amazing but not the worst.

Side rant: us women's football team is legendary good and we should care about that more like. Hello???

Admitting Americans are right about air conditioning

Related: the english team did warm ups in Florida RIP, and also the there's a video of the French team just being like fuck the heat, fuck the sun, this is so hot...

Americans who do not normally care about international football but fucking love a sport and cheering so we're just hyping whatever team is nearby, like we see a party and just show up and learn the chant. Like sorry many of us don't know shit about soccer but if we see a bunch of people in viking helmets or kilts or holding a bunch of flags and cheering we're game.

TAILGATING!!!!

I already said this but American yellow school bus is an international celebrity

The Scottish drank Boston dry of beer apparently, like they quadrupled what Boston normally sells for fourth of July weekend. SAM ADAMS HAD TO GET AN EMERGENCY BEER DELIVERY.

Also the English team fans got kicked out of The Londoner pub in Dallas after drinking 5,000 beers and going over max capacity lmao

Free refill drinks, tortilla chips & salsa.

So many non-americans are going to be here for the 4th of July for our 250th anniversary which is going to be great and hilarious

Non-americans discovering ranch as a beloved condiment

Non-americans understanding American obsession with hamburger now

Japan's homebase is in Texas and the cultural differences are frankly great and also the Japanese fans are SO NICE and helped clean up the stadium after a match???

All the short videos with the eagle screech (which I think is actually a hawk but whatever)

[official-dad-blog]

Like yeah America's government is literally the Legion of Doom, but we generally aren't that bad. I'm glad the world is seeing the little things that there are to love in America.

Queerstake BYU people. How the heck did you survive Eternal Families (the class, not having one). I'm looking at the discussion schedule for this class and it's giving me a panic attack.

Bringing this one back again for pride month.

[spicyvampire]

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

[gothiccharmschool]

I still believe that the harbingers of the tech decline were MP3 players prioritizing streaming instead of making it easy to upload music to a library, and Apple removing the headphone jack. Those things led directly to the whole idea of not owning the media you bought.
