Seeing a white person say unironically that PK and WL are colonizers is so fucking telling that they have zero idea of what racism actually is or the implications behind it, they're just parroting the most basic bullshit to look good. Like come the fuck on that take is racist as shit and its not because PK and WL are any less awful than colonizers. It's incorrect at best but genuinely an awful fucking take when parroted for clout bc you dont wanna be seen as problematic

(It's racist bc equating a genocidal god who you have to shred apart with extreme violence in order to have peace with the pain and anger of indigenous people is. Hm. Bad!!! Not to mention the fact that Radi has a very strong Christian angel motif going on and engages in a 'holy crusade' against everyone in Hallownest INCLUDING OTHER INDIGENOUS TRIBES NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE PALE KING like how the actual fuck can you look at her and go 'oh yeah she represents indigenous people because the moths have what look like dreamcatcher motifs with the essence motes' and unironically think you're not being racist. What the actual fuck)

((Double disclaimer: you can actually write a really interesting and nuanced altcanon narrative with this concept but the problem is that almost nobody ever does, they only ever flag it as 'problematic' because they want to look good, not bc they know the implications))

#im not saying who it is but god fucking damn. idiot.#hollow knight #anyways maintagging this bc i hate this so damn much #also no this is not bc i write a lot of pk or wl. i do not care to defend them. they're fun bc they're awful #and honestly if they were colonizers canonically id def. enjoy writing them getting their just desserts just as much #but the problem is specifically centered around looking at radi #a very CLEAR old testament example of divine wrath with christian ties and a fucking crusade to convert everyone #and go 'oh yeah shes the victim'#im telling you right fucking now as a mixed-race muslim that she is NOT #also to be clear i do like radi as well but she genuinely scares me #which is good! but she scares me because shes a genocidal force who demands you convert or die horribly #which as a guy who grew up in a middle eastern family post-911 #is not that great!

for as much as I've talked about my belief in God on here today I should emphasise that I'm not a member of any church and I have not and have no immediate intentions of formally "converting" to any major religion. I pray privately but that's about the extent of it.

#a few years ago an anon once asked how I ended up becoming Catholic and as I pointed out then: I'm uhhh not.#My dad is - he converted when he was around my age and describes himself as 'pious albeit lapsed' now. Which I respect and admire.#But I was never baptised and I have a lot of criticisms of the Church and for a number of reasons I would not and could not join it.#& as much as I respect Muslims and Jewish people and Protestants I don't suppose I've a desire to join any of those religions either.#it's a personal thing for me. i was an atheist for years & i'm not one now but I don't think i can get more specific than that.#I've sometimes called myself Christian if someone presses the issue but like. I feel like many Christians would contest that I qualify. lol

American writer Najla Tammy Kepler, who was born and raised in a Christian family, converted to Islam and described the process of becoming a Muslim in her book titled "Journey from Texas to Truth", said, "For 3 years, I prayed to Allah to guide me. 3 years later, God showed me that way. A book given to me changed my life completely. It was a book to be read in half an hour. But I read for days. Allah, prayer, fasting, ihsan; I learned a lot of concepts. And I met Mohammed. This completely changed my life. I found what I was looking for and I was happy.”

قالت الكاتبة الأمريكية نجلاء تامي كيبلر ، التي ولدت وترعرعت في أسرة مسيحية ، اعتنقت الإسلام ووصفت عملية التحول إلى الإسلام في كتابها بعنوان "رحلة من تكساس إلى الحقيقة" ، وقالت: "لمدة 3 سنوات دعوت الله. ليوجهني. بعد 3 سنوات ، أراني الله بهذه الطريقة. كتاب أُعطي لي غيّر حياتي تمامًا. كان كتابا نقرأه في نصف ساعة. لكني أقرأ لأيام. الله ، صلاة ، صوم ، إحسان. لقد تعلمت الكثير من المفاهيم. و قابلت محمد. هذا غير حياتي بالكامل. لقد وجدت ما كنت أبحث عنه وكنت سعيدًا ".

Hristiyan bir ailede doğup büyüdükten sonra İslam'ı seçen ve Müslüman olma sürecini "Teksas'tan Hakikate Yolculuk" isimli kitapta anlatan ABD'li yazar Najla Tammy Kepler, ''3 yıl Allah'a bana bir yol göstermesi için dua etmiştim. 3 yıl sonra Allah o yolu bana gösterdi. Bana hediye edilen bir kitap tümden hayatımı değiştirdi. Yarım saatte okunacak bir kitaptı. Ama günlerce okudum. Allah, namaz, oruç, ihsan; bir sürü kavramı öğrendim. Ve Hz. Muhammed'i tanıdım. Bu tümden hayatımı değiştirdi. Aradığımı bulmuştum ve mutluydum.'' dedi.

How long have you been Muslim? What lead you to Islam?

6 years, الحمدلله 🤍 I was raised Christian but struggled with the Trinity from a young age. Can’t really explain it besides fitrah & and an innate inclination towards Tawhid. I met a muslim for the first time in 2016 when I was 16, and initially asked questions and talked about faith out of curiosity. I ended up going out of my way to learn more on my own though, and eventually after a couple of years, I said the shahada in 2018. I didn’t tell anyone I wanted to convert, not friends or family or even the muslim I knew. I was scared of backlash- and caving to backlash… I’m a chronic people pleaser 🥲

Alhamdulilah for everything. Despite my hardships after converting, there was still goodness that came from it. I learned how to set boundaries & how to speak up for myself. And the muslim I knew then? Yeah, we eventually got married❤️ together we now have a 3 year old son and are expecting a little girl in just a few weeks inshallah!

Can't wait for Christmas fever to be over it's too exhausting

#Personal #Nothing ever good happens during Christmas #You have your catholic parents and relatives spewing the most atrocious bullshit and u have sit there like 🙎🏻‍♀️#SHUTUP #I am glad they aren't so uptight abt church & all now at least.#The fact they are converted Christians is hilarious and sad like #Christian missionaries are EVIL and I will never stop yelling about it. If something has to convince you or worse prey when you are the mos #Vulnerable then that's not a religion that's a cult. Especially led by 1 (one) person????#When that church can only ever talk abt Jesus being killed by the blood thirsty jews. Flat Earth.#or whatever bs u try to cook up. This group of missionaries have been busted on news a lot for being. funded by outside aid to #Convert more people.#I can't believe how brainwashing will have you believe the most weirdest shit.#Altho I'm thankful they weren't converted to Islam because then i wouldn't have the freedom I do now plus the horrible stories I've heard #From ex muslims #What other religion is there anyway who is so bent on converting as many people as they possibly could #To all my friends who have succeeded in leaving behind their families of both these cult-ish religions I love you and I'm glad you're safe.#It still affects me. I can't wait to finally start earning enough to leave this whole chapter behind. I've had enough.#Anyway if you can't tell or simply lack basic comprehension it's not a attack on YOU. It's a world wide phenomenon of conversion and brain #You can't deny that and I'm again NOT blaming you for it. Religious trauma is real.#The gangs or worse family members who will kill you for leaving religions is not something unknown. It's real it's true it's happening.#Anyway

Today we celebrate the Holy New Martyr Aquilina of Zagliberi. Saint Aquilina's father denounced his faith and became a muslim out of fear when his daughter was still young. Her mother raised her a Christian, and taught her never to abandon her faith. When Aquilina came of age, the Muslim authorities pressured Aquilina's father to convert his daughter to Islam. When she heard this, she utterly refused, wishing to die rather than deny her faith. She was subject to torture, but this did not shake her faith. They then attempted to win her over with flattery, riches and even a prince to marry, however she remained steadfast in her faith. Eventually, they tortured her so harshly, they left her for dead in the court. Her mother collected her body, and noticing she was still alive, asked her daughter, "what have you done, my child?" To which she replied, "behold, I have preserved the confession of my Faith, just as we agreed.” With these words, she gave up her spirit. On the way to the cemetery, a divine light shine upon her holy relics which also emitted a heavenly fragrance. May the holy New Martyr intercede for us always + #saint #aquilina #akylina #akilina #newmartyr #martyr #turk #turkishoccupation #christian #islam #muslim #convert #faith #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Zaglivérion, Thessaloniki, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci_vfNCDd_-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A 92-year-old woman in our area used to put together around 1,000 ‘goodie bags’ for area prison inmates at Christmas time, full of things like granola bars and noodles and other foodstuff that was allowed but incredibly expensive in the commissary (like one little pack of instant oatmeal costing $5 or something.) She would just do this out of her home over time and then take them in for the holidays (she used to work in the prisons offering classes in managing substance abuse, etc.)

She just passed away in November, so our parish (which is working on funding a bakery to employ recently-incarcerated people and has connections with various prison volunteers) took up the challenge, so I was already down there this morning unloading two pallets of various snack goods and helping arrange the hall to make a bag-packing assembly line, so tonight we can pack 1,000 bags all at once (fingers-crossed, we have never done this before.)

It was interesting, though, the Advent novena antiphon for today:

I mean the least we can do is stuff goodie-bags.

#our priest was already venting about Christian organizations going in to prisons to ‘convert people’#like if you are trying to help people don’t proselytize #“what if they are Jewish or Muslim? how would we like someone trying to manipulate us?#but packing up snacks is a different story

One of my favourite twitter accounts to follow is of this one Canadian gay reverend (@/revdaniel highly recommend) whether it's him posting about his day to day life with his husband and dog or eviscerating evangelicals who come at him with their queerphobia.

But I also think why don't *I* get to have the same thing, you know? Why are there no openly gay imams leading congregations that not only tolerate but embrace and celebrate queer identities? Offering readings and interpretations of the Quran that go beyond 'well you are sinning for being queer but God even loves sinners?' I haven't prayed in years but I would literally sprint to mosque if I had that. Why can't I - literally anywhere in any Muslim community??

#islam #if anyone knows of such an imam/mosque/congregation in london pls do hmu #or anywhere in the uk tbh #best ive gotten from - devout - muslims is extremely uneasy tolerance #and a *i* think what you are doing is wrong but i am not Allah and this is not for me to judge or to tell you how to live your life #and i need and i deserve more than that #😤#it's also a good thing this reverend is not local tho #bc i have the sense id find myself in his church and i have no interedt in converting to christianity rip

to steal a line

may i perhaps assume

no genuine thought of mine is my own

that I may do nothing,

that in itself is a stolen line.

so I shall twist two or three

my meaning is my originality.

"what's in a name that which we call rose"

never truer lines spoken

no matter rhyme,

eloquence

grasped straws,

they're all vanity.

for a rose is the beauty of nature

the bane of the forest

envy is its best friend

cynicism her daily mana

to which we put our adornments

"true love" "passion" "seduction"

we display the words of heart

yet shy behind the concept of truth

to tell me you love me

even with the crusade between us

#valentines day #poetry #new guy this time #I'll call him Seuss cus he has two cats #we talk every day #he's the first one I say hi too #and the last I say goodnight to #AND WE SIT IN CHEMISTRY TOGETHER #WE STUDY TOGETHER IN THE LIBRARY EVERYDAY #WE TALK BOOKS AND EXCHANGE NOTES #he's so sweet and kind and thoughtful #and I think he likes me and I don't know if I like him #our school is selling roses for valentines and I was so close to buying one for him but I didn't #they get DELIVERED BY STUDENTS TO THE CLASSES #but he was talking about them and he was like 'imagine getting roses '#AND I'M LIKE '...I THINK IT'S THE CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD'#btw crusades is allegory for him being Muslim and me being Christian #cus those situations barely work out without one person converting
