you would think the paganism subreddit would be more respectful of other religions considering virtually nobody but other pagans respect paganism. but i just politely informed them that “yahweh” isn’t the jewish name for god and they didn’t do the normal thing — go “alright thanks for correcting my misconception” — but instead decided that the jews are wrong.

Unfortunately not that surprising. In my experience many if not most pagans, regardless of specific religion, still have a christian worldview with all the supercessionist baggage that entails and they think having renounced jesus specifically means christianity no longer has any influence over them.

and they’re probably the people who get very angry about being called out on their cultural christianity that they’ve failed to unpack too

“you can’t even read cursive” buddy i can’t read anything that’s not basic print and when i try to read handwritten or cursive things i get a headache

handwritten cursive is nothing but one continuous squiggly line. why do you feel superior about being able to read it.

i’ve always been reluctant to do an about me post because i think it’s annoying that people feel entitled to that information, and the less people know the better, but i’m starting to wonder if it would reduce the amount of dumb shit people throw at me on here. could be worth a try.

See you would think that would work but I have that info in my bio and still get dumb shit thrown at me.

well tumblr is called the Hellsite for a reason i guess

At the very least I like putting information in my pinned post that will be relevant to new mutuals, like my pronouns, some hobbies, and some basic stuff I believe that might make them feel safe. Saw your new pinned post and I like it :P

you know what? you make an excellent point. also thank you 😊

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.

All this is gonna do is give people some very wrong and dangerous impressions about Stonewall.

you can believe victims about what they experienced and also not want to torch the lives of the people they've accused without proof. that is a space you can walk in and usually it's not even that hard. I say this as a survivor of domestic violence. "believe victims" doesn't mean get torches and pitchforks any more than "innocent until proven guilty" means victims are lying. please please learn this "believe victims" isn't about the perpetrators it's about the victims

nobody alienates allies like a self righteous leftist huh

asking for reparations from people who have nothing to do with your oppression and aren’t even descended from people who historically were responsible for your oppression should be so laughable that you wouldn’t even do that as a joke. but self righteous radical leftists don’t seem to understand that that’s a great way to make people see your cause as a joke.

you think i jest but my coworker asked me and several other coworkers for reparations this week for pride month and juneteenth. because i’m sure asking your minimum wage coworkers for reparations is the right way to go about anything. and no, he wasn’t kidding.
