If u can't fake dry socket just say being around food you can't eat makes u too sad

no i've gotta pretend i'd really super love to be there for their weird mandatory half day where we do a white elephant AND exchange gifts like we're friends and scratch lotto tickets and say grace before eating the old white people food. "i bought such a great gift for the white elephant with the $10 limit no one else sticks to" i will lie from home while nursing [mystery illness]

#original #my worksona is currently white-passing christian-passing and straight-passing and i'm holding onto that by the skin of my teeth #i figured out a workaround by telling them i'm native but south american native #none of them have connected the dots that this means latina #one time they asked another department head about their christmas party and he said they don't have one #he just lets everyone go home early so they can celebrate with their families because the holiday is supposed to be about family #my coworkers acted like this was the most insane thing they'd ever heard

I dont really like criticizing rick riordan's writing cuz he's really special to me but the fact hera was the one he chose to be demonized by the narrative instead of zeus is extremely misogynstic and honestly just disappointing

like I was rereading botl and like. the way she was written at the ending was so odd? it wasn't consistent with her earlier characterization at all and came out of nowhere. like how would the goddess of motherhood not care about CHILDREN GOING ASTRAY????

#“why is a straight white christian man special to you” he created nico di angelo? next question.. #daniel.txt #percy jackson #hera #zeus #pjo #hoo #rr crit #sorry baby #rick riordan

Seems to be in vogue to shit on attending university/college but I will say the most important and life altering thing that college gave me was giving me the opportunity to meet a wide variety of people; many of which I previously would have had no contact with or would have had the opportunity to meet.

#for context i grew up in a very cishet white and catholic background #so college honest to god was the first time i was able to meet and really get to know people who weren't white cis straight christians #it was great #blew my mind

seeing the majority of the news coming out about Horner and the allegations against him center primarily around his achievements in his current position has been incredibly upsetting.

mentioning that he managed the most successful season in f1 history alongside, and as an aside to the fact that a female employee has accused him of inappropriate workplace behaviour is not the way something like this should be treated—especially considering that it’s being reported by some sources that there is genuine evidence to back up these claims.

a reminder that (despite the demographic on this platform sometimes suggesting otherwise) the majority of people who follow Motorsport and take interest in it are men—and it has an incredibly bigoted, non-inclusive history.

i really hope that the woman who came forward is protected and listened to. at this point, the investigation has already moved past the confines of just Red Bull Racing to the parent company of Red Bull, but Horner continues to occupy his spot unsuspended. while this is disappointing, i’m unfortunately not surprised.

#a brief rundown of my thoughts on the situation #it’s very easy to glamorize this sport but remember that it has historically not held space for anyone other than straight white men #christian horner #f1 news

I've dragged my mom to so many rock and metal concerts she's finally getting me back making me go to a Christian pop concert

As someone who grew up brown in a post 9/11 America I gotta say it's wild seeing some internet racists pivot to stanning Muslims cause apparently virulent antisemitism is the new big thing? Like 10 years ago you people were calling everyone darker than a paper bag terrorists and testing me for bomb residue everytime I went to the airport and now you're quoting the Quran???

I mean i know why it's happening it's racist grifters looking to use minority groups as battering rams against one another I just have to say it's a wild switch to see in my lifetime.

#ive straight up seen so much oh jewish people hate christians and jesus content just coming across my feed on X and PEOPLE ARE AGREEING LIKE #WHAT #anyways i know the reasons its happening its just very strange seeing white supremacists suddenly be like yayy muslims!!! #antisemitism tw #islamophobia tw #oh and im not even muslim im catholic we were straight up just brown and caught in the crossfire im 🧍‍♂️ #also i get that antisemitism was always a thing but uh its definitley been getting worse on twitter

SOOOOOO hard to go through everyday life trying to ignore the never-ending feeling that im just irreparably fucked up and therefore should just give up on everything

#this aint exactly s******* but it aint exactly not s******* either #anyways it gets even harder when i have to live under the same roof as my brother who is so much better than me in every single conceivable #and imaginable way possible like #and i knowwww a LOT of it comes down to us having relatively similar yet wildly different lives despite being 1.5y apart and having the sam #family our entire lives like he has gone through NOTHING and i mean not a single societal issue ive had to face and endure my entire life #he's a man im a woman. he's white im black. he's straight im gay. he's skinny ive always been 'overweight'. he's always been the good #christian kid ive always had issues w faith and religion. he's never been mentally ill i was clinically depressed for nearly 8yrs of my lif #we both lost the same parent and im the only one who got pathological grief and a personality disorder out of it. he's had a great job for #the last 7yrs that now pays him 20k+ every month ive only had 3 odd jobs my entire life and 2 of those my MOTHER had to give me so i would #have SOMETHING and ive never made over 1.6k monthly n my last job was minimum wage only #he's had like 4 relationships and is nearly engaged im so traumatized + emotionally unavailable ive only ever been on 1 date my entire life #he has a good relationship w every family member we have i have Issues w like half the family. he's always been an active member of our #church i can barely listen to like 4 traditional hymns before i start losing my mind and spiraling. i think the only two ways we're pretty #much equal like socially is that we're both able bodied cis and christians but still the cis and christian thing is debatable for previousl #stated reasons so like. do yall see how much better he is doing than me in every little last area in life and how he's always gotten the #long straw when it comes to Not having to deal w certain obstacles in life. n i know its like yea idk what it actually is like to be him an #he could not be doing all that well first of all shut up. second of all if it was 1 or 2 things i'd get it but it's literally EVERYTHING #and i know bc of said things n our v different lives it's unfair to me to compare the two of us but then it begs the question: WHY #WHY did i have to go through these things. WHY do i have to deal w this. WHY did i get the short straw literally every goddamn time #WHY did i have to get THIS life like WHYYYYY why ME GOD. why have I had to put up w all this bullshit for 24 fucking years!!!!!!!!! im TIRE #and this is not me hating or resenting him i know it's not his fault and he is so good to me #but still. why was i left with these things? to live like this? #so yes i guess i do envy him a little bit. who wouldn't #mari.txt #personal #tw negative #dl #btw i do NOT mean some identities are better than others. i mean he is better and is doing better than me in life partially bc he's never #had to deal w certain social issues and obstacles that come w oppressed identities.

there’s a certain amount of acceptance of sacrifice and suffering that goes along with gender that crosses the binary in the wildest ways; destroying one’s body and peace of mind in service to labor is the height of what it means to be a man or a woman from childbirth to linework, nobly suffering in a christlike fashion for one’s designated labor defines successful allegiance to and performance of gender, those that reject labor, that resist the narrative of glorious christian martyr suicide, emasculate and de-feminize themselves, choosing to live means entering failed genderspace.

Hey people of tumblr I have an idea of a way to help support Gaza. This one's especially for people living in Christian areas with a lot of mainstream acceptance of israel. It's only a few days until Christmas and as for all Gazans, things are incredibly desperate for the small population of Christian Gazans. In particular here are some articles talking about fears all Christians in Gaza will be dead soon.

So how about we call up our local churches and ask what they're doing to help the people of Palestine?

The articles I've linked come from a variety of backgrounds. Some predate oct 7th. All focus on the plight of Christians in Palestine. Take your pick for what source you think will speak to your audience.

I want you to find a church that is ignoring the genocide or even praying for israel and then point out it's not just people being murdered. It's their people being murdered. Contact your local church like "Hey I'm Name, I'm not really a member of any church these days but it's Christmas and I really want to do something to help people in Palestine. I was wondering if you have something planned over Christmas? Maybe a prayer meeting or a protest or something idk 🥺" Then if you recieve any pushback switch to "oh but I'm just sooooo worried about our fellow Christians unable to celebrate Christmas".

It's a great place to ease people into caring about genocide who normally wouldn't. And if you convince a priest they might tell their whole congregation about how this christmas they have to show up for persecuted christians in jesus' birthplace. Worth a try?

#free palestine #free gaza #christmas #christians in gaza #i did not fact check the articles i linked i wanna be upfront about that #this is from a place of emotive headlines i assume ppl will barely skim bcus thats how ppl engage with me when i link them things #i skimmed the articles and i straight up dislike some of them! #some of them are from right wing backgrounds so ugh #some make such a point of bashing hamas and its like sure yes hamas have done some bad things too does this really need such focus rn #but i reckon some ppl will have a way easier time with their cognitive dissonance if you gave them that article rather than a more focused #also and this is obvious i am not an expert maybe my idea isnt that good pls school me if im an idiot #im not palestinian #im white and was raised christian and like i read the part where they said being mean was a sin and was like okay why are yall ignoring???? #so basically this is coming from my background with christian cognitive dissonance and how what they say and what they do are very at odds #but if you learn to point that out using juuuuuuust the right lingo you can make them do better #they generally genuinely do want to be good they just Do Not See the same things i do #and like my autistic ass cant see what all the other kids at church saw so diversity ig #also heads up if you do this you have to be down to pray like a bunch with nice people on the phone or whatevs #the churches i rang arent having separate prayer meetings but did pray with me on the phone and like my relationship with religion is weird #but it was ~emotional~ #anyway they are all already praying for palestine near me so thats something ig #i checked in on a church that kinda scared me out of the faith by being homophobic years ago and theyre already prayin #so like idk everyone in the world really is praying for gaza

how much fucking a) privilege and b) audacity does it take to claim that "rights don't matter" and "we need to stop focusing on rights"

#i don't listen to sermons voluntarily nowadays so this is just something i overheard and i hope to god i'm misinterpreting this but #what the FUCK man #that feel when a white straight cis man tells you that rights don't matter #ex christian #exvangelical #ex fundie #apostate

it really pisses me off that any attempts to discuss how misogyny statistically leads to violence against women at the hands of men and then defended by everyone brainwashed by patriarchy regardless of gender (re: mothers protecting sons who assault their partners) is immediately derailed by mras claiming it's terf rhetoric???? trans women are part of the women facing the violence what the fuck are you talking abt? it boggles the mind that half the time when ppl are trying to 'combat' transmisogyny they're fucking being transmisogynistic

#every time they're like don't shit on men that's transmisogynistic #trans women aren't fucking men bro #and terfs don't really hate men imo some of them will complain abt them ig #but most transmisogynists are like.... straight.... theyre tradwives obsessed with the white supremacist patriarchy #the idealogy is rooted in the 'supreme divine feminine' that's skinny white christian or culturally christian and cishet #and they'll be more mad at someone talking shit abt men who are literally online putting femicide #and abuse of women in general as the pinnacle of manhood #see the way all those men changed their tune on Jonathan majors when he was accused of domestic violence? #so why are you defending that??????? #i really do think these chronically online ppl think transphobia is only perpetrated by lesbians for some reason #likeeeeeeee who is passing these laws babes #who's beating women for any perceived faults or 'hints' of 'masculinity #it's a system of violence and it's a LOT of different ppl perpetrating it

And so Jesus said to the multitude, Thou shalt not shop on the Sabbath.

For it is the busiest day of the week, yet the one most desirable for rest, and the stores are therefore consistently understaffed.

If ye shop on Sundays; lo, the retail employees shall beat thee to death with hammers; and dismember thy body with an axe.

And ye shall go straight to hell no matter what.

These are the things the Lord hath spoken, therefore it is good.

New Honest Version; Mark 17:1-5

#.ix #in case this somehow breaches containment: this is a joke. there are only 16 chapters in mark #this is about the multitudes of (mostly white) christians who come straight from their church to my workplace and make my life hell #personally i hope they either get better or they all die die die die die die die die

Stone me to death if I’m wrong I guess but I really feel like any privilege comes with the responsibility to distribute that privilege downward any way you can and not hoard it exclusively for your own benefit. but idk who am I to say

I read our history. All of it. All of that "personal revelation," it seems to me that it's just... men listening to their own selfish desires and calling it God. So, they can justify... anything.

-Allen Lafferty, Under the Banner of Heaven

#this might be specifically referring to mormonism #but its really accurate for ALL religions... #if it involves any prophets or personal revelation being written down and spread as holy truth then its b.s. #religion is a tool meant to control people esp anyone who is not a straight white man lbh #and i am not talking about spirituality or having a belief in a creator etc #only about organized patriarchal religions that use the idea of divine god given revelation as some sort of sign of absolute truth #funny how so many offshoots of xtianity/abrahamic religions all have the Truth isnt it #anti religion #anti christianity
