Am I glad she existed? That she was a constant thorn in the side of so many people? That she called out shitty priests?

And that she had it all written down for her from her own perspective? 100% YES

For those of you who don't know: She lived in the late 1300's to mid 1400's. She was English and middle class, and married and had fourteen children--at which point she told her husband God had asked her to be chaste. (Which was actually a struggle for her, side note.)

She was prone to having visions during mass that caused fits of hysterical sobbing, writhing on the floor, and wailing. I cannot exaggerate the degree to which people found her incredibly irritating! But courageously dealing with others' hatred of her was part of her devotion to God, so people complaining always backfired lol.

She was tried for heresy multiple times, as well as preaching (which was illegal for a woman to do)--but was never convicted.

She went on numerous pilgrimages (including the Camino), annoying the shit out of people all across Europe and the Holy Land. She also met Julian of Norwich, who said her visions were genuine but also told her to maybe cool it a little with the hysterics lol.

And we know all this because she wrote (well, dictated; she was illiterate) what is considered the first autobiography in English! It's called The Book of Margery Kempe.

Further, some authors may never even find out the lawsuit is happening. The court's suggested notification scheme "would require class claimants to themselves notify other potential rightsholders," groups said, overlooking the fact that it cost Google $34.5 million "to set up a 'Books Rights Registry' to identify owners for payouts under the proposed settlement" in one of the largest cases involving book authors prior to the AI avalanche of lawsuits.

If you're an author, please use this database to see if you could qualify for that sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

I have never ever ever in my life asked someone to blaze my posts.

But if you want to throw me some pennies blaze this. I want ALL OF THE AUTHORS to know that they have the opportunities to get some sweet sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

Like to charge. Reblog to cast that Anthropic will have to pay out the ass.

For Meta to steal that work and use it to enrich billionaires while at the same time spreading harmful misinformation and doing their part to dilute genuine scientific knowledge is such a violation of their work.

A scene that takes place BEFORE sex that makes it clear that it is NOT secular.

A scene AFTER which CONDEMNS or SHOWS AMBIVALENCE toward EMBODIMENT.

A depiction of both people SUBMISSIVE before God.

It must be thoroughly clear that a SPIRITUAL LOVE is coming and the bodily habits associated with it will gradually come to WITHER AWAY.
