Ritz, The Architect

1800–1802 John James Barralet

There is a trend amongst depictions of the founding fathers to show them as literal christ figures, a trend that started very early in the nation’s life.

I’d also like to point out Washington & Lincoln Apotheosis, artist unknown, about 1865, the same year as lincoln’s assasination

The personification of America in the form of Columbia, a goddess of both the land and the concepts that America tends to inhabit. A pre-anime Hetalia. She was often used in depictions of Manifest Destiny, a religions ideal that stated that America, by God’s will, must go from coast to coast.

American Progress by, John Gast, 1872. Note the indigenous people cast in literal darkness, away from the light. The religions deification of America relies upon colonialism and white supremacy

But no. The Catholic Church and it's Pope are not based. I pray to see the day that institution collapses in on itself. The day their Papacy sits empty forever. I despise the Catholic Church and you should too.

The Catholic Church which covered up abuse scandals and blamed it all on homosexuals. The Catholic Church which UP TILL DISTURBINGLY RECENTLY declared Jews as "christ-killers" (watch Catholics cope so hard when you bring that up ahaha) and held us all guilty for their false messiah's death. Catholicism is a religion BUILT ON CULTURALLY APPROPRIATING THE RELIGION OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE (MY people) and adding Greek and Roman bullshit to it. On top of that it colonized HALF THE FUCKING WORLD. Has racism all over the place and has literally committed MULTIPLE GENOCIDES.

So fuck the Catholic Church, fuck the Pope, and fuck anyone who supports that genuinely evil institution.

We're still stuck living with our abusers— and our last hope of getting out is refusing us because of our ESA (who we are so dependent on she's basically our daughter). One of our abusers has threatened to kick us out 4 times, on 4 separate occasions, within the past month— and the others have done nothing about it. We are constantly being blamed, demeaned, belittled, screamed at, and threatened.

We didn't want to have to resort to this, but we officially have no other choice. We are desperate.

We cannot work. We are essentially living off of coins and borrowed time.

I have that!

So! Here’s some awareness from yours truly!!

We are people just like you

We are statistically more likely to be harmed than to do harm

Not all of us are overt, there’s a good chance you have talked to and maybe even been friends with a schizophrenic without knowing!

There’s more schizophrenia spectrum disorders than just schizophrenia, such as schizoaffective disorder or schizotypal personality disorder

“Schizo” is considered an offensive term by many schizophrenics and some even consider it a slur against us, if you aren’t schizospec yourself please try to avoid using it (as well as “psycho” for psychosis!)

Similarly, the recently common “quirky” online phrases “delulu”, “schizoposting”, “I’m so delusional” (without actually having a delusion), etc are also very offensive! We aren’t a joke!

Not all of us hallucinate or have delusions. There’s more symptoms than just those 2 and the schizophrenia diagnostic criteria doesn’t even necessarily require either of them to be present

We can sometimes know we’re having a delusion while still experiencing the delusion, it’s called double bookkeeping

We deserve rights and bodily autonomy (that includes to not be forcefully drugged and locked up without our consent!!!)
