not “oh my god it’s just a tv show” as in you are not allowed to find genuine joy and form a true connection to fiction, but “oh my god it’s just a tv show” as in, if it legitimately stresses you out and impacts your mood when things don’t happen exactly the way you want them to, and it causes you to lash out at other - real - people, maybe you need to take a massive step back.

that moment in this house of brede when Sister Cecily is talking to the Mother Prioress about her (former) fiance who came to the convent asking her to reconsider marrying him and saying “Isn’t it right to refuse to communicate with him anymore? Isn’t it right to refuse to answer his letters?” and the Mother Prioress says “it may be right but it isn’t kind.” it shakes me to my core.

Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.

Blessed Clare (Chiara) Bosatta

1858-1887

Feast Day: April 20

Baptized Dina, also known as Chiara de Pianello, Blessed Clare Bosatta and her sister, Marcellina both cared for the poor, uneducated children and the neglected elderly at their local parish, administered by St. Luigi Guanella, their priest. So when he asked them to help start the House of Divine Providence, serving the poor and the religious order, Daughters of St. Mary of Providence, they eagerly accepted. In 1887, both sisters contracted tuberculosis. Clare served as superior of the community for a time. A contemplative, she offered God her own life to protect raise, and educate children and young people in difficulty. She died at the age of 29 and was beatified by John Paul ll, April 21, 1991.

Can I have a fun fact on this here Fun Fact Friday?

Yes you can! Today You Learned about the Lady of Elche!

Discovered in Elche, Spain, this lady with wheels on her head is from ancient Iberia (where Spain and Portugal are now) in the 4th century BC, before it was controlled by the Romans. It is generally regarded as from a time when Phoenician/Carthaginian culture was the primary influence, and so there are many who think it's a depiction of the Carthaginian goddess Tanit!

[Every so often, someone suggests that this is a forgery, but that doesn't appear to be the mainstream scholarly opinion on the piece. To be clear though, other artifacts with similar depictions of a woman with wheels on her head have also been found in Spain, so I lean towards 'it's real.']

In the same way that there are British people who use Briton/Gaelic figures as symbols of British identity, or French people who use Frankish or Gauls for the same purpose, this has become a symbol of Iberian identity! For instance, in Old San Juan in Puerto Rico, there's a set of sculptures about Puerto Rican identity, and one of the statues is clearly modeled after the Lady of Elche.

Also she appears in Thor: Love & Thunder:
