I’m Obsessed With This Actually

I’m so happy I get to be alive at the same time as the first live healthy photographed BABY colossal squid

I'm just-

we classified the colossal squid in 1925, put together from pieces found in sperm whale stomachs.

we've found them dead or dying or in distress, floating on the surface or entangled by trawlers.

but now

in 2025

100 years later

we finally find one alive and thriving in the deep Antarctic sea

and it's a baby.

Ok last one op I promise

Okay but on a real note...

When Tyler called Wednesday a cockroach he had to know she'd take that as a compliment right? Like he's been around her enough to know that insults like that don't work..so was he like actually flirting?

My wonderful boyfriend, having just woken up at 4 AM for his grown up full time job: good morning baby! 😊😄☀️

Me, who has Not Yet Gone To Sleep because the characters in my book finally decided to start making out: ……😳😳

Why Muslims won't convert unless having a direct experience with Jesus.

Based both on my personal experience and their own discourses.

Muslims cannot fathom nor comprehend that God is our Father. To them, He is a Creator that purposely keeps His distance from us. He is a MASTER and we're His SLAVES, SERVANTS. As much as they insist that God is merciful and loves us more than a mother, there's always an invisible wall between God and humans that prevents a closer bond to develop.

Original sin doesn't exist in their dogma, so there's no need for a savior.

Following this, they also have difficulty understanding why God would become human to suffer like us, (lesser beings) and die a horrible death out of love for us. Again, this is due to their perception of a distant God.

Another main obstacle they face, is understanding the Three Persons: that He is a One, Triune God. They're quick to shut it down as shirk (idolatry). This is a problem by default, since their own prophet Mohammed didn't understand the Trinity to begin with.

Since they believe the Bible got corrupted over time, they don't bother to read and study it, despite "believing" in it. Rather, they lean on the Quran's recollection of the Holy Scriptures, since they believe to have the definitive and unaltered Word of God.

When they say they know and love Jesus, they mean they know and love the Jesus misinterpreted in the Quran, since they don't read the Bible (except to pick and choose something to try to disprove poorly).

In my POV, for born Muslims this error can be understood as invincible ignorance. For converts, it's proof that they're looking for an authentic, black and white kind of religion with God. Most of them had bad experiences or poor catechism in the past, and want a religion "with no intermediaries." (i.e. priests and the saints; but mostly the latter).

The problem? They rely on their own understanding of the Quran and Hadith, plus whatever their local Iman tells them. (Proverbs 3:5-6; Jeremiah 17:5, Ps. 146:3). So much about no intermediaries.

All this, to say:

Since the grace of God works beyond the Church, Jesus, in His love and mercy, starts appearing in their dreams after many signs of His authority go ignored by them out of fear.

It's interesting to me how Muslims can "debate" with priests, pastors, missionaries, etc. for years; yet they only humble themselves once Jesus starts touching them in ways they can understand and accept --dreams.

Once they have this experience, then they're open to know Jesus, or they convert on the spot.

I might return to this later to expand on it. Nevertheless, please be kind and compassionate to those with an aggressive style of dawah (the equivalent of "evangelization"). More often than not, there's something behind the anger. With that said, stay firm and brave--don't let them insult our creed. Pray silently for them, and move on.

I love this so much I need more of this immediately

It’s Mermay! Last year I drew Visera as the seductive but deadly siren she is, and Gale as a professor who might like going for a swim with her. My early obsession with Atlantis and Pirates of the Caribbean makes me want to drop everything and make a pirate/fantasy comic. But alas, one project at a time.

The dialogue is from Stranger Things, in case you didn’t know!
