Unfortunately, a large percentage of the Christian population in North America actually believes that witchcraft is A Real Thing that needs to be fought against tooth and nail. I was raised by people like this, who believe to this day that Harry Potter is evil because “spells” and “magic” are evil, as though they’re some kind of insidious gateway to hell itself. It’s madness. :)
My religious mother declares that trans people (and anyone who’s not strictly hetero) is “going against god’s plan for them”. Arguments that perhaps god made them that way are rebuffed with, “that’s not how that works”.
There’s no logic, just dogma and hate. It’ll never be over until empathy wins, and some people would rather that never happens
This thin gruel could have presentation & sugar added to it and be sold as a $14 aperitif
Just finished both “Mickey 7” and “Antimatter Blues” by Edward Ashton. I liked these a lot, actually. Liked the movie less, once I read the first book.
Also finished “Platform Decay” by Martha Wells, book 8 of the Murderbot series. I found it to be somewhat lacklustre, perhaps the weakest of the series. I’d be curious what others think though.
Currently reading, “Ingathering: The Complete People Stories”, by Zenna Henderson. These are a bit cozy, a bit familiar. Not sure yet if I’m going to make it through all 700+ pages.
So long, bradley

This one’s out of South Korea, so take it with a grain assault. Worth noting that,
People who believe in the devil and hell are more likely to blame society for poverty, while those who believe in a supportive deity are less likely to do so
In my experience, people who believe in a “supportive deity” also believe in the devil and hell, because in most religious frameworks, one implies the other
Ewww
This is the definition of cringe

Why not just start a bridge building company, identify the top 100 most urgent rural bridges, build them, and then find the next hundred and keep going?
Probably should have been Ensign Kim
To me the implication lacked true follow-up narratively in order to establish factual events dramatically (and thematically) with subsequent witnesses providing additional context. I could be wrong tho
I’ve never seen this movie, so I don’t know what famous song is or is not sung, unless the song is also called “The Squid and the Whale”, in which case I’ve never heard of that song.
Love it. I used to have a yellow one that was similar
Just because he said it’s called Cosmic Brownies, and there’s a picture of Cosmic Brownies, that doesn’t mean that he used Cosmic Brownies in the recipe.
Wow, you definitely sound like a real human person with a totally normal human name, xhhimrskcvf
Not in my household, sorry
