Lucy Lawless was not a particularly burly woman, but somehow she made Xena seem like a fucking tank and I don’t understand how.

I know the whole "humans are weird and scary" thing as a sci fi concept has been rendered kind of cutesy and outre recently but like humans are absolutely the creepiest fuckers on this planet and I WILL die on this hill, doubtless pursued tirelessly by dozens of freakishly vertical ape creatures with unprecedented levels of thermoregulation, possibly accompanied by other animals that they have somehow formed bizarre social bonds with. Oh my god humans are the worst

"And they came unto Alma; and the one who was the foremost among them said unto him: Behold, what shall these my brethren do, for they are despised of all men because of their poverty, yea, and more especially by our priests; for they have cast us out of our synagogues which we have labored abundantly to build with our own hands; and they have cast us out because of our exceeding poverty; and we have no place to worship our God; and behold, what shall we do?" - Alma 32:5

The Canadian Armed Forces has issued new orders to military personnel as senior commanders seek to address allegations of having been soft on hate in the ranks.

The orders, which aim to take a harder line on “hateful conduct,” follow a rash of high-profile incidents in which the military was caught flatfooted as service members were publicly linked to hateful actions or groups.

“The year before, it was more like a reaction kind of approach,” said Maj.-Gen. Marc Gagne, who oversees strategy, plans and policy within the chief of military personnel’s office. “We were reacting to cases.”

The new direction also comes as the military is actively working to recruit more women, visible minorities and Indigenous people to ensure it reflects Canadian society and is better able to operate in diverse theatres.

The new order aims to leave no doubt about what constitutes “hateful conduct” by banning anything — words, images or symbols — that encourages, justifies or promotes violence or hatred against individuals or groups.

That includes discrimination based on nationality or ethnic background, race, colour, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status or disability.

Hot take!

Heavenly Father is Lawful Good, Jesus is Neutral Good, and Heavenly Mother is Chaotic Good

H.F. will reward good and punish bad according to the Rules We All Agreed On. You can ask for help but you have to fill out the right forms.

H.M. doesn't even care if you get her name right and will pretend to be anyone from Hera to the Virgin May as an excuse to visit her kids.

Jesus is just stuck in the middle trying to convince his dad to ease up on the rules and his mom to stop showing up to witches covens.

Ableds' disrespect for the bodily autonomy of people with disabilities has really been highlighted for me during this pandemic. I had four (4!) people come right up and touch my wheelchair to "help" me today. I was out for a beach day and on my way back to the car. They decided that I could not possibly do so on my own, that I clearly needed many strangers to come up and attempt to push my wheelchair. Now, this is never ok. You can not just go up and try to push someone's wheelchair. It is less ok during a global pandemic when you go right into a stranger's space with no mask and then touch their mobility device. This is not helpful. It is endangering the person that you are trying to help, and yourself. Don't push people's wheelchairs without explicit consent. Do follow social distancing guidelines.

next time someone talks about welfare fraud, remember that if you’re homeless you’re not supposed to have food stamps and if you lose your home and don’t report it to DSHS so they can take away your food stamps that’s welfare fraud

I do think aesthetics are important to religion unironically tho. I think creating an atmosphere where people can Feel God is important. It doesn't have to be grandiose or ostentatious, it can be an intentionally very simple unadorned room, or any number of things, but like idk i dont get that from a lot of modern churches. It's like heres a terrible warehouse and you go in it looks like a hotel conference room fake flowers and all. Soulless and uninspiring
