Wish There Was A Non Rude Way To Be Like “I Understand Your Criticism, I Don’t Even Necessarily Disagree

Whoever was the first bouncer who came up with the "you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here" was one hell of a king for setting professional emotional boundaries. Such a gentle and tactful but explicitly clear way of concisely saying "look man I'm not telling you to go solve all your problems. All I need you to do for me is to stop being my problem."

@necroticblue I kept thinking about what you said and how it relates to manhood and God

(detail from ‘Return of the Prodigal Son’ c. 1619 by Guercino)

I've taken the flesh built from Adam's rib and made it my own, and I put my fingers in his wound and worshipped him like he deserved, because we are not men as god has made us, but as we have made ourselves, and so we have made ourselves gods in our own image, and with my fingers in his flesh i said "Look at us, we are men." Our bodys are holy ground, we made them such and so we took turns worshipping what we created on our hands and knees, inventing devotion. We gave eachother the grace and divinity that such an act of creation earned, inventing faith. We have made ourselves holy all on our own.

when i die, send my body to space. I’ll walk the dog and give her treats. I’ll throw the earth, a little blue ball for her to fetch. When i die launch me into orbit with Laika so someone will be able to take her on walks. Lay me to rest upon the stars so I can rub her stomach like she deserved, let me join Lassie on the moon.

Here's something that's a good source on Hermes, if you're not really sure what he's like as a god and a person.

I’m in an archaeology class this term and fuck, people really are just people no matter what.

I have an essay due tonight and I’m crying about the 3cm comb found in a small girls tomb, suggesting her parents buried her with a doll made of cloth or other material, leaving only the comb to be preserved. The girl found cradling another’s baby to protect it from the ash in Pompeii, the two pregnant women found alone in a house, the younger one being just 16 who was curled up in the other woman’s arms. I’m thinking about the 14 year old who was buried facing their ivory doll. These children who died, but who were not unloved. 

There is so much love in these ancient burials and it makes my heart ache.

Yeehawgust day 5: coyote prowlin’

......in the cosmos.

Why are all the religious horror movies based on the catholic denomination? We need more protestant based horror. Give me backroads and church basements that look like the backrooms.

Hey I know I'm not that much of a punk circles kind of guy, but just in case you kids don't have anyone more credible to tell you this: do not put endangering badges on your back.

Yes, your battle jacket should consist exclusively of whatever the fuck you want to put on it, but if you've got political badges, rainbow pins, or anything advertising yourself as a member of a vulnerable group (whether that's trans, disabled, any kind of ethnic or refugee background, you probably know what yours are better than I do), only put them in places where you can see everyone who can see them. I'm not joking this is a safety measure. Punk scenes can be rough and sketchy places and not everyone who attends them is safe to be around.

You don't need to come tell me that this is unfair, because you're right. You don't need to come tell me that I shouldn't be telling you not to put a target on your back, but that I should be telling people who assault people to not assault people, because you're wrong. Yeah no shit it sucks but unfortunately if nazis gave a single fuck about who is morally correct, they wouldn't be nazis in the first place.

Be yourself by any means necessary, but protect yourself by any means necessary. Rainbows go in the front of the jacket.
