Light in the darkness🤟

@sexy-people-contests-2026 I request that Janus be put in the roster. Other people need to know the glory that is Janus!

some people may see this as a contradiction, a sort of clashing of ideals. i cannot disagree more.

for what is the Sacred Heart if not a devotion to God as Love Incarnate? His love that is boundless, passionate, and flows eternally like the ocean waves.

and what is Pride Month if not a celebration of love? love that persists in the face of great adversity and turmoil. love that has, does, and will forever endure even as the whole world seeks to destroy it.

against all of the hate and wrath that much of humanity has for us, always remember that it is never hopeless. for if God is Love, and He is, then He is on our side. and what can these people do against us if God is on our side?

happy Pride Month, and happy Month of the Sacred Heart. God bless you all <3

“Here’s the thing about the Force — maybe it’s just my interpretation of it, but I thought it was something George [Lucas] told us back on The Phantom Menace: There was no light [versus] dark side of the Force. The dark side is part of the Force. What keeps it in balance is saying no to it, allowing it to do what it does, to warn and to frighten and to guide us through our dark emotions, and then you’re using all of the Force, not just one little piece, which is where the dark side always goes wrong. But what [the Jedi are] calling the light side is the entirety of the Force.”

Like, the whole purpose of fear as an emotion is to warn you of danger and to keep you alive. So it makes sense that the purpose of the dark side of the force is to warn you of danger and keep you alive. But then sith twist it, and instead of using the dark side as a way to warn and protect others as well, they’re using it specifically to gain power over others.

Which is why Anakin was so susceptible to the dark side: he wasn't allowed to express or even acknowledge those emotions and thoughts, so when he did, it exploded all over the galaxy.

God needs to stop making people immortal, fr fr.

1 Nephi 17:2 And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us, that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings.

3 And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore, he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness.

There are so many forces in this world (in lds, christian, and just overall culture) trying to convince women to be weak and small. Diet culture is coming back with a bang. I get ads for weight loss drugs just about everyday. Any female fitness influencer's comment sections is full of both men and women talking about how women shouldn't be "bulky" and they need to be petite delicate little flowers. It's started to drive me insane.

Despite all that, here's a verse in the book of mormon literally talking about strong women; and it's portrayed as a good thing. Nephi could've left it at "our women did give plenty of suck for their children," and that would've gotten the point across, but he didn't. He included that they "were strong, yea, even like unto the men." They're not just getting enough food to feed their kids, they're getting enough food to be as strong as their husbands and brothers and fathers. (As a woman who works out this is harder than you'd think. The part testosterone plays in building muscle is so annoying. After years of going to the gym and getting my protein in I'm about as strong as the average teenage boy lol.) They're not criticized for being too bulky or too heavy or too masculine. The men aren't criticized or emasculated because their women are as strong as them. They're all praised because this is the result of following the Lord's commandments.

It's all about the Lord. He told them to travel throught the wilderness and provided a means for them to do so. They didn't just barely get by, they had enough food that the women were able to breastfeed babies for what was probably years, and become strong themselves.

How do you get over clothing sensory issues?

I want to dress in all sorts of clothes and I have ideas on clothes of my own like cosplay. However I have one of the worst sensory issues in the world:

I hate having things on my waist.

I have a pretty big belly (despite being small everywhere else), so I feel anxiety (not quite panic, but you get the picture) every time there is a band or even stretchy elastic on my waist. It feels like I won't be able to breathe.

I also don't really like anything formfitting. I mean sometimes I do, but it's so inconsistant.

Woman's clothes are notorious for having things at the waist and above and being formfitting. I like the look on me, but I just can't wear it. And the clothes that do fit me well look so pillowy and like a potato sack.

I could wear guys clothes, but I get dysphoria thinking about going into that section. I like masc clothes, but I like wearing dresses and skirts.

I also like to move. A lot. And clothes don't tend to have that in mind.

I learned how to sew so that I could shrink and adjust my clothing and now I only buy large or above sized clothing (except for underclothes like bra/underwear) It lets me adjust to how I need, means I can hide tighter clothes underneath to catch sweat if it’s needed and hides my curvy figure which gives me dysphoria. Also knowing how to adjust clothes means that I can shop in any area of the store (i love thrifting so it opens more options) and then adjust as needed + if there’s a weirdly shaped/formed part of the clothes I can just say fuck that and change it.

So yeah. Oversized always and learn to sew.
