Today we celebrate the Holy Great Martyrs Sergius and Bacchus. Saints Sergius and Bacchus were appointed to high military positions in the Roman Emperor Maximian's army in Syria. Envious people reported the saints to Maximian as Christians, which was considered a crime at the time. The emperor ordered them to sacrifice to the idols, which they adamantly refused to do. He stripped them off their military insignia, dressed them in feminine clothes, and paraded them in chains in the streets as a form of mockery. The emperor again asked them to forsake their faith, which they once again refused. He then sent them to the Emperor Antiochus, a fierce persecutor of Christians, however he received his position from the help of these saints. He implored them to deny their faith, but the saints remained steadfast. The Emperor Antiochus beat the holy Bacchus to death and sent off the venerable Sergius, after having been tortured, to another city to be beheaded. May the Great Martyrs intercede for us always + #saint #saints #sergius #bacchus #sergiusandbacchus #greatmartyr #greatmartyrs #martyr #martyrs #syria #emperor #roman #romanemperor #maximian #antiochus #faith #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Al-Rusafa, Syria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYsPi2rNt_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

we are all trapped together
we are all piled together,
with no order
just a pile of limbs and faces and legs and fingers
and you may cry out
please, please, please release me
please let me breathe
please let me stand
but there will never be any reply
as there was never any cry to reply to.
once you have the answer
your life is over
all of you here
if you have heard my voice then
your life is over
your life is over.
because you sought truth
and now you have it.
death is truth
and truth is death.

Re-Dedication
Hanukkah Hanukkah commemorates the Maccabean victory over the Greeks (specifically, Antiochus IV) and also the cleansing and rededication of the temple. Just for fun, notice what themes surround the context of the story of the Feast of Dedication presented in John 9, 10 and 11. (I like to picture them corresponding to 8 Branches of the Hanukkiah or the 8 days of Hanukkah.) The Messiah interacted…

ALCIBIADES: Finally, we're alone! After so much fighting with the crowd, it's something for me to be again with my wife and my best friend.
HIPPARETE: it's been a while since I last heard you talk like that. I was not expecting it today
ALCIBIADES: Today, you should have expected it. In a time like this, I need you more than ever.
HIPPARETE: You know well that you need only to remember us, give us a nod, and we'll be by your side. We'll never leave you. Isn't that right, Antiochus?
ANTIOCHUS: Whoever loves Alcibiades, is bound by a tie stronger than anything in the world.
HIPPARETE: An irredeemable bond, i can say this.
ANTIOCHUS: For many people today, in Athens, Alcibiades is the purpose of life.
HIPPARETE (to Alcibiades): you hear what he's saying about you? The purpose of life. What should I say then?
ALCIBIADES: Don't say anything. Don't make me feel how selfish i am towards you (both). But do not doubt ehat I'm telling you now. The wind is cold up there, on the lone peaks of fame and power. I have need of this warmth I find near you (both) and that makes me, for a little while, feel like a child again. Without your (plural) love, i don't know if I could manage to stand until the end the role I've chosen.

Based on this post from @suburbanbeatnik. There are some others that unfortunately I couldn't mention due to limited space, so I picked the most famous/the ones I liked the most.

every day some christian weirdo goes online saying this person is the antichrist and the end of the world is nigh because the omen got really popular in the 70s and too many christians tend not to read the bible critically or through metaphors, or through knowledge of historical context... but man i also wish dragons were real

I'd like to bring this into attention: most arbiters have "insufficient data, unable to simulate conversation" on their descriptions, EXCEPT...!
I'm on pure copium, but if arbiters ever become playable, these might be the devs pick.

i've found out about a queer character in skyrim that isn't mentioned to be queer on any wiki. the fandom elder scrolls wiki has a page on queer characters and moments overall so i'm gonna figure out how to edit the article to include this :3c
it's gonna be my first time wiki-editing, wish me luck!
