the that one with the words

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

…relic…

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

But I just saw a video of a TT user explaining that they decided to do their own little social experiment — by walking up to drug dealers on the street, telling them there's a young woman with a baby who needs help with formula, and literally all of them immediately reached into their pockets. In this story, the OP did have a real neighbor with a baby who ended up getting some much needed baby supplies. Thanks to the charity of local drug dealers.

Christian theologies that deny the doctrine of the Virgin Birth and hold that Jesus was an ordinary man who was adopted as God's son during his life – often at his baptism, though some strands place the event elsewhere – are broadly grouped under the heading of "adoptionism". We'd need to get a lot more specific about the particular theological claims being made to narrow it down any more than that.

As is always the case with Christian heresies, it's tough to pin down exactly how commonly adoptionism has actually been practised, as most surviving descriptions of it come to us via its critics, and early Church authorities were notorious for making up guys to get mad at. However, in the case of adoptionism in particular, we have pretty solid evidence of widespread practice prior to the First Council of Nicaea, and the argument can be made that it was the majority view in at least some Christian communities as late as the 5th Century.
