I am asking you to endure it.

a lot of Gregory Berrycones in the notes missing the reference to my twelve note magnum opus from several hours prior in which the narrator silently begs an entity that isn't really God for death and the entity says no

the narrator is operating under the constraint that they can only use words "god" has already spoken, "god" is aware of this and says the 'Time flies' sentence on purpose in order to give the narrator the pieces they need to voice their complaint; "god" has constant access to the narrator's thoughts, and answers them as though they're having a conversation between equals, but clearly absolutely dictates the terms under which the narrator can speak. it becomes obvious as the scene continues that the narrator is silently screaming and that the request being denied may be a request for death, but is at minimum a request for some acute suffering to be stopped

this could be an interaction between a normal person and an evil telepath with some mind control ability pretending to be the voice of a benevolent god. or it could work as a demon lord speaking to a soul they've trapped in a mirror and keep at their side. or it could be an actual god trying to calm down their only believer because they're trapped in the same prison. the concept amused me so kindly forgive the ugliness of the execution

you are asking me to endure it

Can anyone find the version where OP explains what “Narrow is the straight” means?

it's "narrow is the strait"

try looking up "the narrow place" see if that helps

I'm broke and don't feel safe here, please help me move

Hi! My name is Gabe and I've been having a hard time since moving away from my brother to live with my boyfriend and his family back in December. It was only meant to be a couple months but things have gotten harder since his parents started charging us literally half our pay in rent each week. It's gotten to the point where they will argue and berate my boyfriend if we don't pay right as we get home on payday or if it's one dollar short. This on top of some things that my bf's father has said about me and my body, and his behavior towards me that have made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe to be living in this place.

We're looking for an apartment to move out but without money for a deposit and necessities there's not a big chance of it happening in at least a few months which is a long time to be walking on eggshells and feeling unsafe.

Here's my p!ypal link

And also my wishlist if anyone wants to help me get some much needed stuff

Thank you!

I just got fired :)

I have been trying to get a better job so I could quit the one I had but it seems I don't have to quit since they fired me out of the blue today in the middle of my shift.

I do have a job lined up but I wouldn't get paid until two weeks for now, and with bills coming this week on top of rent I'm not sure we'll be able to make it since mine was the only income we had at the moment. I'm really trying to hold it together but things keep happening and I don't know what to do or what will happen

#to anyone wondering why react this way?#odds are they drugged more than one person#and this way no woman needs to feel singled out as a potential victim#sends the message that people who do that aren't welcome there and they're actively ruining the night for others#and gives anyone who might have been drugged a place to go to get help (via @wingedkiare​)

honestly missionaries are evil. the idea of traveling the world to tell people Who Didnt Fucking Ask that their beliefs are wrong in the hopes that theyll adopt your beliefs seems sinister

The Christians in the notes whining are so absolutely stupid

I don’t even want to talk about how they specifically target poor people and hold basic necessities over their heads in exchange for faith.

“I read about an [Inuit] hunter who asked the local missionary priest, ‘If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?’ ‘No,’ said the priest, ‘Not if you did not know.’

‘Then why,’ asked the [Inuit] earnestly, ‘did you tell me?” -Annie Dillard

(edited to remove slurs/dated language)

My culture and our religious practices (Inuit) have been decimated by Christianity and I fucking hate pretending its a neutral thing.

Christians in the notes still don’t get it. They’re saying that missionaries aren’t that bad bc they’re just trying to save all ppl and they’ve started quoting bible verses and whatnot but here’s the thing: I. Don’t. Believe. In. That. Like your beliefs and scriptures are non applicable to me (and everyone else who isn’t Christian, or at least abrahamic) bc we’re not christian and I literally don’t care if you think we “need to be saved from Satan” or smg bc frankly, it’s not your business and that “well meaning, innocent” intention is still forcing your religion onto us. OP is right. Missionaries are evil. Leave other religions tf alone.

One half of my family is Native Christians via forced conversion.

The other half is white Christians, including missionaries.

I can tell you that missionaries don’t just invalidate other religions (mainly indigenous religions) to try to convert people, they blatantly hold valuable resources hostage to convert people.

They’ll provide books to communities with low literacy rates… but all the books are bibles or otherwise Christian-centric.

They’ll host free meals for the whole community… but the people have to attend a church sermon before they’re allowed to have food.

They’ll host events and groups for kids… but all the education and activities are about Christianity.

Missionaries blatantly take advantage of scared and vulnerable communities, who are like that because of Christian colonialism, to forcefully convert them and kill off their religions and cultures.

Honestly, the belief that if you know about God and don’t accept Jesus as your savior, you’ll go to hell is why I consider all missionaries to be arms of a death cult.  You’re trying to guarantee that everyone who isn’t exactly like you burns forever in the fiery pit.  How is that an act of goodness or benevolence?  How is that kind?

Introduce hell as the stick and “sharing the goodness of God” is no longer a carrot.  It’s another stick.

As someone who grew up in south america and africa with missionaries as parents…. Yes they are evil. They don’t mean to be evil, but they’re so brainwashed they cant even see the damage they’re doing. We were with a missions agency as well as with ERDO (emergency relief and developement organization) and they *absolutely* held resources for ransom. Your whole village was washed away by this big natural disaster and we’re here to help! First thing we’re gonna do is build a church where your village community centre was! Next we’ll offer free food to everyone who needs it! (but only people who are willing to sit through a church service and accept jesus get to eat) and then once our new church has members, we’ll start doing things like rebuilding houses for those members! (but not anyone else) next time you need help (like maybe when the flood waters stagnate and the mosquito population booms and you’ve got a malaria epidemic in town and everyone is dropping like flies but the missionaries have medicine), you’ll need to publicly declare you are abandoning your ancestors and their ways, publicly burn their effigies and any trinkets you may have that have “dark magic” (read all magic) and declare you are going to bible school, then you get help! They’re ransoming aid for the cost of their souls, their traditions, and their very identity. Its nothing short of cultural genocide.

about the Taíno cacique (chief) Hatuey who was “one of the first fighters against colonialism in the New World“:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatuey

In 1668, a Jesuit Missionary named Father San Vitores came to the island of Guam and established the first Catholic Church in the Marianas Islands. Four years later, Vitores kidnapped and baptized the infant daughter of Maga'låhi Matå'pang against his wishes, which was the final straw for the chief; he had Vitores executed, a death which Vitores welcomed as martyrdom.

The death of Vitores outraged the people of Spain and led to a 26 year long war between Spain and the Chamorro people; at the end of this war, 90% of the indigenous people of the Marianas had been slaughtered. In the following decades, the Spanish began relocating the people of the northern islands to Guam where they could be more easily controlled, and outlawed canoe culture to ensure they stayed there.

Now under total Spanish control, the Chamorro people were forced to abandon their connection to the land and many of their traditions, stories and spiritual beliefs. Modern Chamorro, while retaining its original grammar, has had 55% of its vocabulary replaced with Spanish words. Today, the vast majority of Guamanians are Catholic, because the Spanish slaughtered all who refused to be.

Nearly 50 thousand people dead, a whole culture destroyed and subjugated, all in the name of the so-called “God of Peace.” All set in motion by one Jesuit Missionary “Martyr”.

Missionaries. Are. Evil.

I grew up in an evangelical church and a family with a very “religion is sacred and very serious” attitude. They’d constantly talk about how “brave” missionaries are to go and risk being “prosecuted” in other countries to… what? Try and convince people to join a religion?

“Oh they aren’t forcing it on them! Just asking!” No. Nope. No way. Because one of evangelical Christianity’s main constructs is that you want to convince people to join the religion so they, among other things, don’t go to hell.

It’s like saying “Hey wanna go out with me? But if you say no I’m gonna beat your ass tomorrow in front of everyone in the cafeteria.” While they might not be forcibly or physically making you go out with them, they’re coercing you by fear of consequence. Same hat with missionaries.

If your religion brings you joy or light or happiness or whatever, cool (as long as you don’t use it to push down marginalized communities). But the rest of us probably don’t want to hear about it. So stop telling us.

white people have to stop acting like asians exist for their consumption

oh you’re boosting awareness posts because you “like kpop”? because you reblog anime gifs? why do you base your support off of your consumption? why is it not enough to support asians without a reward? why do you never mention western asians? south asians? do you only care about the light skinned east asia you see in the photography you reblog?

Say it with me folks:

My uncle was one of the top surgeons in the country. He was upper middle class definitely. When he got cancer, his insurance didn’t cover all the treatments he would need and after 5 years he drained his savings on cancer treatments (while still working most of that time) and eventually died because he couldn’t afford the expensive treatments that might have saved him.

If you are upper middle class and you get sick, it will likely bankrupt your family. It’s fucked.

For all of the idiots in the notes ^

Honest to god - even if you make 6 figures a year? you're closer to poverty than true wealth. Check your shit and remember who your real allies and enemies are guys.

A 6 figure income is a lot right? That’s say: 223,000 dollars a year Which is 112 dollars an hour. Most people would consider that upper middle class. That’s enough money to have a nice house, go on fun vacations. That’s slight more than the average doctor makes.

223,000 dollars is what Jeff Bezo makes in a minute

the well-off and the rich are not the same. 

CPD just killed a fifteen year old child.

a fifteen year old black girl was shot four times in the chest by columbus police in columbus, ohio.

as derek chauvin was found guilty, a black child lost her life to police.

we still don’t know her name, but we’ll scream it the minute we do.

“well that can’t be worse”

except it is.

except this child got jumped by the other girls present. she was afraid for her life enough to grab a knife and call the cops herself.

let me repeat that.

the black child that they killed was so afraid she called the cops herself.

they killed the very person who asked for their help.

and before you flip over the knife, they didn’t even ask her to disarm. they got out and immediately opened fire on her and shot her four times with deadly intent.

did y’all think i was kidding.

her name is ma’khia bryant.

i’m such a small blog but i’m begging y’all to spread this story. i can’t speak directly to this- no matter how hurt and angry and thrown by all of this i am, my voice isn’t the one that matters. i recognize that. but i’m still begging for this to not be overlooked. say her name, remember her- remember that this fight never ended, and keep fighting it.

derek chauvin being found guilty is a victory, but we can’t let that blind us to the fact that this has kept happening and never actually stopped. even if the protests went quiet, that doesn’t mean things changed. we have to hold them accountable and we have to remember those who have died and will continue to die beneath the shadow of everything else that’s happened this year.

my heart is going out to her family.

rest in peace, ma’khia.

this is the official gofundme for ma'khia.

*pushes up glasses* tEcHnIcAlLy, peanuts are in the bean family.

Were I not a holy man I’d cut you down where you stand for this comment

Then sharpen your blade, coward.

Do we put tomatoes in fruit salads? Am I to serve a loved one a bowl of hot peanuts?? Fancy dictionary sneakery means nothing to me

but… they’re not. Trans is short for “transitioning” which is to say you go from one gender to the other. Non-binary people are not transitioning to another gender. They’re just not moving from one to another.

trans is not and has never been short for transitioning you dumb hoe

trans is short for transgender dumbass

also for those who don’t get it, the creator of the trans flag herself (monica helms, to be exact) has stated verbally, herself, that the white stripe in the flag was for nonbinary individuals + that nonbinary ppl are absolutely trans

if you exclude nonbinary folks and tell us we’re not trans go fuck yourselves
