Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. Catholic. Married to the woman of my dreams: absolute-chadette

This is my single and final warning to new followers. If you follow me, I will look at your blog. (Especially if you haven't liked or reblogged anything from me, because I'm trying to resolve my deep internal confusion about why you're here). If I'm immediately or almost immediately greeted by porn gifs, I will report you for posting sensitive content. If I think you are a bot, I will report you for spam. (My criterion for what makes a bot is really specific. 99% of humans should pass with flying colours, but feel free to ask.) If your blog then (hopefully) gets taken down, you can blame me all you want, but I consider it your fault for initiating this interaction to begin with. Don't hate me, I'm just the messenger of your doom. :D

The day we stop commodifying women's bodies and put an end to porn is the day we finally take legitimate action against violence towards women. That is all.

(I don't expect this to actually keep the bots away, but I'm really hoping it does.)

Ever since polls were released showing Canadians overwhelmingly reject Donald Trump’s proposal to become the 51st state by 77-15%, the quest

"Ever since polls were released showing Canadians overwhelmingly reject Donald Trump’s proposal to become the 51st state by 77-15%, the question everyone has been asking is: who the fuck are these 15% and what is wrong with them."

I feel like we don't talk enough about how sometimes Don't Create the Torment Nexus is actually Here's an Exaggerated Version of Something Fucked Up We Do Already, For Real, In Real Life, So You Can Understand What's Bad About It and people will STILL look at that and be like yeah you're right the exaggerated version is much better. we need a real life Torment Nexus.

Ok but in the whole 2000 year history of Catholicism, someone had to have accidentally wacked the priest in the face with the thurible at least once.

Not that, but I've seen two altar boys competing to have their metal post with the candle higher than the other one during procession. I've never seen a priest look so stern as he held the post down (also in the middle of procession).

If anyone will wack a priest in the face, I'm betting on those two, and their justification won't disappoint

have been at a mass where my fellow torch-bearer took Father out with her candlestick can confirm

1- rant to me about a book you hate >:)

Okay, this one isn't so much about the book itself as it is people's (mis)interpretation of it, but it has to be said.

Les Miserables is NOT a Catholic book.

"Oh, but the bishop —" Yeah. The bishop who's good and perfect and the Christian ideal whose radical charity kickstarts Jean Valijean's redemption? What does he do?

He gives away his candlesticks and then dies.

Now, these are his personal candlesticks that are part of his household, but candlesticks as an object are immediately recognizable as trappings of the Mass. It's a thinly veiled version of "If the Church REALLY wanted to help people, it would sell all of its gold and use the money to feed them." (To give Victor Hugo credit, I think he actually wanted the beauty to be preserved, e.g. the cathedral of Notre Dame, BUT he wanted the Church's treasures secularized. "Given to the people," in his mind, intact.)

He becomes even more blatant about this when he talks about the convents of France with a pretense of scientific impartiality. His whole spiel (pages and pages of beautiful prose) can be boiled down to "These used to serve a valuable purpose. Now they don't. Get rid of them."

Is anti-Catholic sentiment the ONLY point of the novel? Of course not. Is there a lot in it that's still good and true, and is it completely fair for so many Catholics to enjoy and love it? Of course. But people. I am pleading. I am begging you. STOP acting like it's a Christian novel. It's a humanist work written by an anti-Catholic deist.

The teenagers across the road are throwing an unsupervised and (potentially) drunken party. They were all dancing around in front of a huge bay window until one of them put on cocomelon and then they all sat down to watch.

Oh my gosh, the parents just got home. None of the kids that threw the party even lived there or were related, they were just supposed to be house/dog sitting. They left vomit on the rug and booze in the trash. Unfortunately for them I took a picture of their vehicles, so ain't nobody getting off the hook lmao

God the Father was always Father, will always be Father, and would have been Father even if God had never created. His Fatherhood has everything to do with Son and nothing to do with creation. Any Christian who believes “Father” merely a helpful metaphor has fallen into error.

God is not the Father of the unbaptized except by analogy. God is the Father of the baptized because they are adopted into the Sonship of Christ, and it is now no longer they who live but Christ who lives in them. “Father” isn’t a metaphor, nor is it’s proper relation to mankind.

An important aspect of this is that God owes us nothing. Insofar as he can be said to owe us anything, it is because he freely chose to enter into a covenant with us. This mercy and condescension should stagger us, that God so loved the world, that he so loved creatures of dust.

Sunday thoughts from Fr. Brendon

one of my skills is going on pleasant walks in the most unwalkable environments ever

There is no sidewalk. Also the road has no shoulder. And there is no level, clear ground beside the road. "I think I'll go for walk" says I. The weeds and grasses are knee to shoulder high. Sometimes the ground is a 45 degree slope dropping towards the road that bends my ankles sideways to walk on it, sometimes it's just a muddy ditch. Sometimes you have to jump down into the ditch or climb out of it. There are thorns and brambles. The cars and trucks are speeding past with extreme ferocity. There is garbage and litter along the road. My instincts dictate I must go on my pleasant walks. What a pleasant walk

my custom when staying in a new place is to find out how far away from it I can reach on foot and tbh it's very rewarding. you can explore little hay fields and vacant lots and you'd be shocked at how much biodiversity there is.

i keep finding uncommon plants with few occurrences literally just in fields and road sides

i think it's really interesting how most of the biodiverse environments humans create in my area are accidental. a lapse in "management," a bit of neglect, in a place that provides whatever kind of unique conditions and it becomes something super special

Another one of my skills is picking out biodiversity hotspots in my surroundings. Little patches of the landscape that have unusual variety of plants.

I'm not very good at it because environments constantly shock and surprise me.

An area with a fixed management plan will be less biodiverse than an area that gets managed "whenever someone gets around to it." Transition zones between two types of areas are more biodiverse. Ambiguous places of unclear purpose are more biodiverse. Lower income areas are more biodiverse. "The bad part of town" is more biodiverse. Any small area with novel or unique characteristics distinct from all of its surroundings is more biodiverse. Proximity to suburbs lowers biodiversity. Suburbs themselves are the most ecologically sterile places you've ever seen.

Would you ever consider making a full size X stitch pattern of Moontain Valley? I’d be more than happy to pay for it.

That's tempting. Maybe I'll put up the full sized pieces' patterns for a little tag; or not- The real question is, can you guys even make that big of a pattern, a 320x180??? 🤨🤨🤨 Prove me wrong and I'll give it out for free on the ko-fi

Alright since all of you guys are crazy and are forces of nature for cross stitch, I'm pleased to announce your demise in the form of:

THE FULL PATTERN for Moontain Valley ⭐ Free on my Ko-Fi Shop! ❤️🐦 (this is a big one, I warned ya)

My favorite emoji expression me and my friends came up with is "throwing rocks at it"

Basically if you ever see or hear something that displeases you, You go like this:

🫳🪨

🫳🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨

☺️🫳🪨🪨🪨

So on and so forth. But also if something is beautiful or true you throw lotus.

🫳🪷🪷🪷

I have one that;s called "picking grapes off the vine"

this method could also be used to pick other things, if you'd like...
