i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️

Feminine like Mary standing at the foot of the Cross. Feminine like St. Joan of Arc stepping into the battlefield. Feminine like St. Catherine of Siena advising popes and kings. Feminine like Mother Angelica berating politicians and world leaders on television. Feminine like Mary Magdalene washing the feet of our Lord with perfumed oil and her hair. Feminine like St. Teresa of Avila writing the Interior Castle in the silence of darkness. Feminine like St. Hildegard of Bingen balancing her role as abbess with writing poetry, play, chants, medicinal treatises, and theological analyses. 

The fact that the KKK, who hated Catholics as well as Blacks, Jews, immigrants, and anyone else they deemed as too “other,” stole outfit ideas from Spanish Catholic processional traditions is just…. Well I wonder how many of them realized the insane irony

anything u think about YOUR life after 10pm is bs to be ignored. anything u think about a character’s life after 10pm should be posted about online and expanded on for paragraphs. :)

As one of eight kids, I don't think I can describe just how it comes across when you play the shocked-and-judgemental "she had HOW many kids??" card. There's this weird calculation to it that I don't think anyone intends, but reads emotionally as an intrinsic threat. Like, okay, hi I'm number five. Am I too many? Do you want me to Not Exist?

Someone will say "as a queer person in the heart of empire, my life is in danger every day" and you'll find out they're a developer for Amazon and live in San Francisco or Seattle or some shit, and then you'll meet a trans girl from Alva, OK who's like "Yeah, things are pretty good. AutoZone moved me to full-time."

I was like 50 minutes late to work bc I overslept and didn’t brush my teeth so I grabbed my toothpaste and brush and came with it to do that here and midway my toothbrush flies out of my hand and into the toilet…… now Satan thought he got me he really did. Until I brought out the brand new 4 pack of toothbrushes I packed in advance the week before see bitches think I’m stupid. Whole time I’m 5 steps ahead. I didn’t even need to pray to god for blessings. I got me

there are songs i hear and go “man there is no way anyone actually listens to this” and then you hear it on the radio 300 times a day and the album is nominated for a grammy and there are fans who spend every dollar they have on merch and concert tickets to sold out stadiums of people who all love that song. and you wonder if maybe you’re the one who’s wrong but then you hear it again and decide that nope, you’re right and everyone else has lost their minds

what do you mean you dont want to buy my $55 dollar unsanded unpainted 3d printed dragon or my $102 resin triangle with sparkles and dungeons and dragons dice in it i worked really hard to make sure these end up in a landfill in exactly 6 months if u dont buy it now ill have to take it to the dump today

hate when people say something along the lines of "we must get along so well because you are/i am [some astrological sign]" to me. what are you fucking talking about. we get along because im fucking nice. a decision which i regret when you say shit like that

this post is a good rent lowering gunshot. in case anyone needs one of those

I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.

unfortunate truth of reality is that oftentimes 15 year olds will say/do/believe some stupid bullshit because they are 15 but telling them that they believe that because they are 15 is probably the most counterproductive thing in the entire universe

wish ppl understood the power nowadays in not giving something attention. things today are so focused on attention and reaction and #memes that the best way to shut literally anything down is simply not give it exactly what it wants. like you arent going to own that bigot on twitter youre going to boost their original message whether thats your intent or not and you arent just playing with ai for shits and giggles you are giving it free learning and data. just stop engaging with things that dont deserve it

having faith is all fun and games until you have to have faith
