“Inseminary”
or “Lockpick to the Priesthood” or “Come Unto Me” or “Pearl Necklace of Great Price” or “Faith is Like a Little Seed”
Authentic stolen holy text, Near Clear silicone, gold pigment.
I went to the mormon church’s website, looked up their views on homosexuality, noted the scriptures they referenced, ripped them by hand out of the bible and book of mormon I stole from their chapel, and then mixed them into a silicone dildo of my own design like confetti. A dildo which will of course be used for homosexual purposes (with non-lubricated condoms and water based lube, for safety).
I’ve wanted to try dildo making for literally over a decade. I don’t have any fancy equipment like a 3D printer or a vacuum chamber, I made the sculpt by hand, and I fucked up a lot along the way, but all that being said I’m proud of what I was able to accomplish and I learned a lot. I put in more gold than I meant to, but honestly, it was meant to represent scripture’s gilded edges, and as it turned out, it looks really beautiful or quite filthy depending on the lighting, which feels entirely appropriate for scripture.
It was hard to read all of those verses. But as I tore them up I bathed them in the intention to take words that were meant to inflict queer pain wherever they go, and say “Actually, I pull those words out when I want some queer pleasure.” Build joy where they want you to have it the least.

It really bothers me when people describe the way I grew up as "sheltered" when in reality I was not being sheltered or protected. I was intentionally confused. I was kept in the dark. My reality was being controlled.

Your body is not your enemy. It isn't a shell that you inhabit or an empty temple. Your mind is not a separate entity, your soul is not an inhabitant. Its desires and needs are not the devil trying to trick your soul. The 'natural man' is you. Your body is you. That's YOU.
It's okay to treat yourself with love and respect.

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
Tumblr media
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!

Even if I had definitive proof that the Mormon church was true, I still would not be Mormon. Mormon god is not a being who deserves worship and adoration. Honestly, Mormon god is a pretty shitty being, so why would I worship him? He’s the epitome of a toxic, bigoted parent, and I would want no part of that if I believed.

I don't know how to say this but there is something about being raised in the church and being taught to stand up for what you believe in but to always be humble so you never learn how to stand up for yourself or advocate for yourself but at the same time when your beliefs change you have to stand up for them and the morality you were raised on ultimately undermines the church's system because you know what agency is sacred and so is love and so is human life.

Hey, it's conference weekend, which means it's time for some reminders:
You are loved, just the way you are (I know it's been a while since I said it, but yes, I still love you).
The church is not true.
The Bible actually says some pretty specific things about man speaking for god.
You are not broken or lost.
You will get out.
I won't be watching because my husband works over the weekends and I don't want my toddler hearing this shit, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you need to vent or ask questions or even if you just want a distraction.

"XMO Heart Attack"
Glued inside the stall door of a bathroom in a mormon chapel. "Praise to the man" is one of the most disgusting hymns to me. It was a real struggle to keep it in my head long enough to write this. I know saying you were literally shaking is kind of an eye roll on here (for good reason) but I can honestly say I was trembling with rage as I composed this. So cathartic to finally, finally do something with that anger.

Poem in plain text under the cut
Praise to the man who wrote Doctrine & Covenants!
Verse 59, Section 132
Nothing is sinful if men do it in God's name
Thank Joe for that, or the mormons would be doomed
Praise to our Brigham, who ordered "EXTERMINATION!"
A series of massacres we call the "Black Hawk War"
Those poor Timpanogos, they were killed by the thousands
But our grand, spacious building was built upon the gore
The mormon militia carved the heads from their victims
For two weeks, the captives were forced to watch them rot
Those women and children were then sold into slavery
They were Lamanites; they deserved what they got
Your children sing of "Lamanites", just as I did
So don't try to tell me it's different today
Say that your prophet told you, "Murder your brother"
Could you, a good mormon, really disobey?
Packer and Oaks said, "Sometimes truth is not useful"
What useful lies have they told you instead?
Pulled threads cannot unravel truth, so I ask thee
Why have they made it a sin to pull their thread?
This made you uncomfortable, and thus, must be evil
A test of your faith, I remember, yes, I know
But Jesus will want to know why you're cool with murder
He won't be impressed when you say, "Have you met Joe?"
"Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of Heaven"?
The church must atone for the blood on stolen land!
Wake up, the world will see your buried injustice;
Millions SHALL KNOW "Brother Joseph" again!
