According to the 2020 World Watch List (WWL), 8 Christians are killed daily for their faith. Every week, 182 churches or Christian buildings are attacked. Every month, 309 Christians are imprisoned due to their faith. The top 50 countries worldwide that oppress Christians total 260 million Christians suffering ‘high to severe’ levels of persecution, up 15 million from 2019. Under the 50 countries, at least another 50 million Christians are facing martyrdom for their beliefs in 23 other countries.

1 in 8 Christians worldwide face persecution. 2 in 5 Asian Christians now face high levels of persecution. Christians are oppressed, and we need to stop being euro-centric.

Even in Europe church attacks are on the rise and people keep getting injured or killed. I saw a US map of church attacks too. Bigots just don’t want to let go of their scapegoat.

It’s also super fascinating that tumblr has decided Christianity is a monolith as if Protestants and Catholics haven’t been trying to kill each other for centuries

^thisss, ex-fundie atheists are always so shocked at the answers I give as a Catholic, like honey no offense but I do not abide by the teachings of Evangelicals and vice versa. Our histories and historic/current traumas are different. It’s not a hard concept to grasp.

Armenian genocide: survivors recall events 100 years on

cataclysmic-writer

To this day, the quote I read in a survivors biography in 7th grade still haunts me. “Who does now remember the Armenians?”

You know who said that? Hitler. Adolf Hitler, as a way to justify the Holocaust. Because the world turned a blind eye to the Armenian genocide, he thought the world would turn its back to the Holocaust.

The worst part is, he was right. America, Europe, the governments knew what was going on. And they ignored it. Now, more than ever, remember the Armenians. Remember the Cambodians, Rwandans, Jews. Never again means now.

Remember the Armenians because it’s happening again and it can literally be stopped but not if people keep turning a blind eye, just as they did a century ago

In some local Ainu groups there were found, besides regular members, a certain number of persons in the category of anun utari, foreign people. The word was prefixed with the name of the river where they stayed, e.g. Otopuke anun (utari) and so forth. By anun utari is meant observers of anun kamuinomi or non-local kamuinomi rituals. They fall under two classes. To one class belonged those from other places who, relying on some affinal relationship or kinship with a local member, had come to stay as a sort of guest by his or her side. With aid from the member and the headman, they were to remain for a year or two, or even four or five, enjoying hunting and fishing with regular members and then to go home again to their native area. They were usually married and were with their families. To the other class belonged those who had no relations among the local group members but, pressed by narrow circumstances, had come to aid from them. After passing certain questionings by some one headman they were taken in and then, whether married or single, male or female, were temporarily housed for the first year or two by the side of the headman’s house, e.g. under the floor of his elevated storehouse built on piles. Provided also by him with food and clothing, they were to live by helping in manual work for the headman and his people, all under his direction and supervision. They were called ussiu. Eventually, as their character and personal circumstances became known, the headman, if convinced of their good intention, real need and absence of selfish conduct, gave permission for them to build and live in a house of their own somewhere in the area according to his direction. Never the less, they remained anun utari just as before; at all times in hunting and fishing they were under watchful supervision in case they should behave wrongly or thoughtlessly and ignore the nature-spirits venerated by the local members.

Husband presented me with a challenge. Recreate something.

So made Reidunn a Bunad to wear at festivals. She’s even got makeup on (she usually doesn’t like wearing it). I wanted something other than her gákti that is more formal than everyday wear, but less than like the masquerade or balls. She’d also still be wearing Guivi’s band but it didn’t look right with the pouch.

Birger is there for food and buttons.
