thinking about how the bible is all affect. about how it is an oral thing, a leak between bodies, a murmur between lovers or a yell at a wound or a song in a nursery. the bible is a language that falls over itself. it is a word left untranslated. i am thinking of סֶֽלָה (selah), a transliterated word that means nothing except for when it means everything—it is a word that is really a sigh. or, i am thinking of יהוה (yhwh), the name of god that is no name at all but instead the panting of breath. affective, rhythmic, pulsing, the bible and its language can't catch up to itself. it was never meant to. cantillation and intonation can do no good with a text in excess. nor anything the masoretes did, nor new lexicons either (הַֽלְלוּ/hallelujah can't attach itself to meaning, no matter how hard you try)
(nothing between me and god except a thin panel of aquarium glass) ahem *bonk* hey *bonk* excuse me *loud thunk* i have questions about the nature of things
Favorite literary technique in the Bible?
repetition, not necessarily parallelism though. a prophet splits a river, his fellow prophet splits a river. a form is severed into twelve pieces here, and here, and here. a king is refused, a king is refused, a king is refused (repeat until assyria ends kinghood)
do you have any spiritual thoughts on blood? pomegranates, periods, prophecy-- does what comes out of me monthly and hurts me so horribly mean anything at all besides that familiar pain no one will help me with?
the priests feared it for a reason
As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.
In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.
You know, museums lend exhibits to each other all the time so it's not like the British museum would be completely without exhibits from other cultures if they returned the stuff people are asking for. Unless they've made so many enemies that nobody wants to lend them exhibits I guess.
I drew a little something for the Hiveworks micro comic summer~
painted some of this with my fingers.
for authenticity?
no. I didn't want to wash my brushes
colour theory this, flattering silhouettes that.
babes I cannot overstate the importance of wearing things just because you enjoy them.
NOTHING is flattering if youre uncomfortable while wearing it - not a goddamn thing.
orienting your sense of style around what makes you visually palatable to others: 1) outsources some of your self-worth so it's beyond your control, and 2) sets you up for a Sisyphean journey of never being enough which feed the consumerist machine.
Don't try to look good. Try to look and feel yourself.
I wanna see more cultural punk outfits. I wanna see more punks adding their culture to their outfit. I think it would be a neat concept. Embracing your culture and who you are and saying that no one can take that away from you. Fuck racism and fuck anyone who thinks they can take away your culture. Put spikes on your hijab. Wear a black leather jacket with patches of African patterns on it. Punkify that Kilt. Embrace your culture and don’t let anyone take that away from you. Be punk and embrace who you are because you’re amazing.
i think it would be wise to seriously reconsider any statement you make about God in which the word “God” cannot be replaced with “love”
I’ve been seeing something going around about how since Hermes is a trickster god, April first should be a new day of celebration for him. Here’s everything I have on it so far.
Seems super interesting and something I could really get behind.
So I did a lot of digging to find this. Pretty difficult to come across good resources sometimes. Here is a great educational resource on Loki. I think it'd be really good to get the word out there on this, as it spreads information that people may not otherwise know. Take care, everyone! 💚🖤
It's April 1st today and in the light of april fools day i'd like to announce my opinion of this day being sacred to Hermes
since i only ever send rick rolls to ppl i figured id just post one for all my followers for april fools day this year to save myself the effort
happy april fools y’all
Here's something that's a good source on Hermes, if you're not really sure what he's like as a god and a person.
jesus would've hung out with furries in high school if he were born in 1998 and subject to the american school system he would have let them make a fursona for him over lunch even

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” - Luke 23:34
sooo… jesus art got me to 10k on twitter😳, here is some more art, i can’t draw wolves, or clothes, or anything really
Do you think people who are virgin should write smut? I feel like most of them don’t even know what they’re writing and just write what they think sex is
the implication this ask suggests that people who write about murders, cannibalism, politics, magic, royalty au, sci-fi, wars, supernatural, time travel, medieval era, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins must be murderers, cannibals, presidents, wizards, royalties, astronauts, ghost hunters, soldiers, time travelers, knights, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins in real life is so funny to me
