A little get to know me.

I was going to post the header project with this too, but that'll be later now.

My sona:

Because I don't want to write on this drawing, here we go:

Some fun facts:

Currently 18. (Dec 30, I'm one of those crazy Capricorns)

Christian - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jesus loves all of you so so much!

American, of Finnish descent (my gran is an immigrant). Minä rakastan Suomea! Such a lovely country. (I can hardly speak Finnish though).

Southerner, of the Texan variety. I do not like the heat there in the summer however ;-;

I am basically a magpie, if I see a shiny or a click-clack or something that makes me go brrr- I collect.

Chronic-overthinker

I love my Mutuals <3

I'll be going to uni soon to study Illustration.

Likes:

Positivity

Rain and Snow

Sleeping

Music

Really soft things

Dislikes:

Negativity/pessimism

Hot weather (especially in the humidity). It makes me feel ill.

Paper cuts and cardboard cuts

Germs and left over textures from touching things.

Random aches and pain. (I'm fairly young but sometimes I feel like a grandma with the amount of pain I get in my back, knees, and jaw.)

So... Yeah. That's me! I really don't have anything else to say at the moment so...

Thank you all for stopping by!

Have a good day or night.

There are a lot of adults going to church today who are going to be Pikachu-face surprised when they get to judgment and are handed a millstone to place around their necks because of how unsafe they've made this world for children.

I don't wanna think celestial, I wanna live celestial

I wanna help build a society without poverty, where we recognize the divinity within all members of our human family, and I wanna build it here in this world rather than being preoccupied with the next

People who talk about how “how could you believe in the church ever, how did they talk you into getting baptized when you were 8? I NEVER would’ve fallen for that!” Did you believe in the Easter Bunny? The tooth fairy? Santa Clause? All things that are made up but you believed were true even though there were some weird and honestly creepy aspects of it if you look at it now, but you still believed in it and believed in the good parts of those things. Do not blame people for believing in something that they were fully taught was the truth because the people around them were taught it was the truth. Do not criticize a little kid for believing in Santa.

Do the LDS have any special holidays or is it just Christmas and Easter? If the answer is yes, please talk a bit about them! If not, any ideas what they might be?

Hmmm the only one I can think of would be Pioneer Day?? (July 24? I think?) But I think that’s mostly just a Utah thing not worldwide. Since I live in the “Mormon Corridor” of Canada with lots of our ancestry being from Utah we do sometimes celebrate a little bit as in like we sing a pioneer type hymn in church that week. Some years I remember talks about pioneer ancestors in church. I don’t think it happens as much anymore here.

I guess we also remember the anniversary of the church’s reorganization (Apr 6) and those who are really on the ball might know the anniversary of the first vision (I don’t) It’s not really a holiday though. More just like “huh thats neat” and maybe some years they will do a special broadcast on like the 175 anniversary or something.

But as everyone knows, general conference weekend is the biggest holiday there is 😂

#christianity #the church of jesus christ of latter day saints #sorry I should explain #general conference is a worldwide broadcast twice a year from church leaders #a weekend each in April and October #we watch the broadcast instead of going to church #lots of families have traditions like special meals or staying in pjs all day or conference watch parties #it’s like the Super Bowl but spiritually uplifting lol

Reading M. Kelters essay in Knowing Why: adult diagnosed autistic people on life and autism 

There was a moment where I couldn’t help but feel so seen and this page was it

I hid, but my favorite place wasn’t in the ceiling but in a tiny secret closet off of one of the classrooms on the second floor above the sacrament meeting. I could see the meeting from up there and would know when it would be over.

And yes I see the irony of literally hiding in a closet at church!

I was gonna say Elder Christofferson's talk about those who stay valiant in the gospel and how it impacts future generations makes me think of all the wonderful people I've interacted with here in the queerstake. You've made a difference and an impact on my testimony, and I hope I can help make an impact and strengthen the testimonies of younger generations of LGBT saints.

A sizable chunk of the bad things people say about Mormons are, in fact, true. Like most USAmerican institutions, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has an ongoing legacy of queerphobia and racism. Also like many USAmerican institutions, the efforts to address it (and yes! there have been efforts!) have been inadequate. I'm not saying anyone has to like the church as an organization (half the time I don't either) but like. It would be nice if a part of my identity wasn't treated like Terminal Creepy Weirdo Disease
