just had a Thought™¹. ✨Reader discretion is advised✨, AKA read at your own risk and hate will be blocked.
¹ based on conversations with my ex-Mormon friends & Christian friends, & my attempts to understand and reassure them
~~~~
¿what if suffering is the worst sin? ¿what if building a life that brings you joy is the ticket to heaven?
~~~~
in more detail:
¿what if causing suffering of any kind unto others is the worst sin? ¿what if letting your suffering hurt other people is the worst sin?
¿what if telling everyone they’re sinned and doomed to hell is enacting the worst sin? ¿what if telling children they are unholy and sinners is the worst sin? ¿what if “holy” wars are the worst sin?
¿what if being “kind” and “charitable” only for status or out of fear of eternal punishment is a sin?
or even.... ¿what if forcing yourself to eat something you don’t want to is a sin? ¿what if submitting to “the grind” is a sin? ¿what if complacency is a sin?
~~
in reverse, ¿what if joy is the ticket to heaven? ¿what if going on that trip you wanna go on is the ticket to heaven? ¿what if being kind just to be kind & for no personal self-gain is the ticket to heaven?
¿what if telling people they are sacred and holy and loved (truly loved, for who they are & not in spite of it) by God is the ticket to heaven? ¿what if telling children that (because Jesus died for their sins) they are protected and holy just for being alive?
¿what if knowledge, and wielding it wisely is the ticket to heaven? ¿what if the lesson of Adam and Eve was to remind us of what was sacrificed to bring knowledge to us, making knowledge itself holy and of God Himself?
¿what if the lesson of Lucifer the Devil is not to fear him but to love his complexity and embrace him as God’s son? ¿what if God told the tale of his fallen son to remind us all to love our children dearly? ¿what if God was sharing his deepest regret— that he did not love his son as deeply as Lucifer needed?
¿what if the tale of Abraham and Isaac is to remind us that your children are just as important as God? ¿to show us that loving and protecting your loved ones is, in fact, to love God Himself?
¿what if kindly alerting the waiter/waitress or server that something is amiss (you received the wrong food, or it’s cold when it should be warm, or the cooks / preparers forgot to add or remove an ingredient, or etc.) is a ticket to heaven? ¿what if revolution and standing up for what you believe in is a ticket to heaven? ¿what if using your voice is a ticket to heaven? ¿what if using your privilege to protect others is a ticket to heaven?
¿what if self-love and self-respect are a ticket to heaven?
¿what if love and respect and unity are holy and lead to heaven, but hate and division and ignorance and complacency lead to hell?
¿what if the reason it’s a staircase to heaven is because you have to evolve and heal and grow as a person, to resist and re-evaluate instinctual feelings (and written languages, and spoken languages, and thoughts) before acting upon them, and that takes a lot of work?
¿what is the whole point is to show God you are willing to work on yourself and build connection with others before you are allowed into his home and around his children (angels, beloved pets, and other deceased souls)?
¿what if it’s a highway to hell because you can stay complacent and blind and are easily manipulated (highway hypnosis), and because you can hurt animals and people easily, and because you’re on autopilot and instinct and thoughtless power saving mode, all of which are easy and require very little from you?
¿what if it’s a highway to hell because you can crash blindly through wilderness, through homes, through living beings, and hardly notice a bump in the road? ¿what if mindlessness and carelessness are the fuel (gas, battery power, etc.) to drive to hell?
~~~
¿Do you hear me? ¿Do you understand?
(Also semi seriously, ¿should I start a branch of Christianity / a church based around this concept, with its own commandments that are freeing and gentle and loving?)
~~~

The Idea
Sometimes, the idea of someone or something can be captivating, but the actuality often diverges. It's the concept that fuels our actions in reality. Yet, there are occasions when reality falls short or even inflicts disappointments.
Nonetheless,
We persevere, Fueled by the concept, Which in turn ignites our hope, Allowing us to persist and thrive.

I'm so often torn between following my impulses/intuition and taking a step back to reevaluate and think about things, which inevitably leads to overthinking.

lol I can’t fucking afford groceries, so sorry my attention isn’t 24/7 on Palestine 🙄
listen i feel u. i do. but i honestly cannot get over how immature these asks are (and i've received a few of them by now, cannot imagine the volume of them actual palestinians get) bc it should be an unspoken caveat that a lot of these posts are not targeted at people who're living paycheck to paycheck, working busy lives, have copious amounts of shit to deal w etc etc. the problem comes in when you go out of your way to ridicule genocide by sending asks like this, especially to people who lost family members to israeli attacks. i know this isn't the social etiquette site, but someone has to tell you it's incredibly rude, distasteful, tone deaf, disrespectful...
if you can't afford to do anything, okay. keep it pushing instead of going to people's inboxes trying to make an obvious point.
and if you do have time or money and you're not doing nearly enough, you are the problem.
it's literally that simple.

Pivot
Along the way, we switch our startup idea from a  blue-collar job platform to a Coffee reservation application. Since employment portals are commonplace today and there are other well-known job portals already in existence, we adjust our original idea. Instead, we created a reservation software that would benefit both small and large local businesses.

“Hey Mom, Dad, what would you do if me or Danny comes back as a ghost?”
Maddie looked at Jazz as though she were silly for even asking. “Why, we’d catch you, of course! It’s not like it would actually be you, just a shell.”
Jack frowned. “Even though it’s not really them, I’d still feel bad if we did any of our experiments. We’d probably just exterminate them as quickly as possible so your souls could rest.”
“But we could get so much information from them! Why wouldn’t we? It’s not like they’d feel it!” Maddie shot back. Jazz sighed and walked away as their voices began to rise, indicating a starting argument. She had what she came here for.
And, glancing at the cold spot by her side, so did Danny.
College is fast approaching, and Danny knows that it’s unlikely he’ll be accepted anywhere. Really, that’s fine. It’s just… he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life living in fear of his parents and lying to them. It would even be fine if they restrict his powers as long as they close the portal and stop all the ghost attacks! He just doesn’t want to be scared!
So Team Phantom comes up with an idea. Jazz will ask what will happen to them if they become ghosts. And Jack and Maddie both agree that, at the very least, they should be caught and Ended. There is no chance for a safe reveal. No hope that he could ever stay.
So he leaves. Jazz switches to Gotham U without telling her parents, and Sam and Tucker both agreed that they wouldn’t go to Gotham for college to throw off any leads the Fentons might have.
They destroyed the portal before they left. A very, VERY thick layer of ghost ice managed to contain most of the damage. They leave behind two prerecorded tapes, one where Danny knows they’re recording a message and one where Jazz quietly threatens the Fentons to leave them alone. She says that she would sooner kill them before she lets them lay a hand on Danny, who by the way, still feels emotions and pain, and your stupid confirmation bias is preventing you from making any real progress in your career.
(That’s all I have so far but I couldn’t stop thinking about it lol)

My covid post from last year is going around again, as I sit here debating how and what to write about HPAI H5N1.
I'm tired.
Things to know:
HPAI H5N1, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1, is so far wildly lethal when humans get it. Somewhere between 53% and 56% of the humans who have been found to have it have died.
Those people mainly got it from interacting with sick birds. A couple have gotten it from interacting with sick mammals. The one of those that's most important to US news right now is a worker at a milk cow farm who got sick very recently. That worker's only symptom before getting on antiviral medication was pinkeye.
(Keep your cats indoors; cats are getting it from sick birds. Don't have bird feeders this year. Do NOT interact with wild birds that are acting strangely; do not poke at dead wild birds.)
Humans are not yet giving it to humans. There are one or two cases where they might have done, in the last few years; those cases guttered out quickly, to the great good luck of our species, and did not spread.
Human-to-human transmission is the big concern.
We are not in any immediate danger of H2H transmission. When we're in immediate danger, you'll know.
When the flip happens, we will go from not being in immediate danger to being in immediate danger, very rapidly. This could happen this month, or in five months, or in five years, and we don't know when.
By the time we are in immediate danger, it is too late to do the greater bulk of your preparation.
So it's time to prepare now. This time we have is a blessing. We should not squander it. What would you have done differently in September, 2019, if you knew what was coming? Do that.
With some differences; a) flu can pass by fomite--that is, a sick person touches a doorknob, you touch a doorknob, you rub your face, you get sick--so you actually do need cleaning chemicals for this one. b) This one gets in through the eyeballs pretty easily in its current shape, so eye protection should be prepped for adding to masking in public spaces. c) this one is gonna call for fever reducers and we know how hard they were to get when covid hit; stock up. And stock up on pet food if you can keep it from going bad, because pet food gets its protein from cow and bird meat; there will be shortages.
With a lot of similarities; the flu is airborne so don't stop masking, if we have a proper lockdown this time you're going to wish you had flour and rice and canned fruit so keep stock of all your staples. If you have a nice big freezer, now is the time to get beef and chicken before the prices shoot to the ceiling. I'm also stocking up on powdered milk and powdered eggs for baking with.
We have made a lot, a LOT of mistakes with how we've handled covid. But one thing we didn't do wrong was all of the community-building in the early days. Think about what worked then, and what didn't really work. Now is the time to make sure community bonds are strong. As always, as in ANY potential disaster, there are two most-important questions?
Who can protect and support you?
Who can you support and protect?
Plan accordingly.

will went to lithuania BY BOAT to learn more about hannibal, got pushed off a train for him, followed him to italy with the fantasy of him, hannibal and abigail living happily there AND made a tableau for him that HE’D NEVER EVEN SEE.
let that sink in the next time your man texts you “good morning” and reevaluate your standards.
