I Have Received An Important Email. It's Kind Of A Big Deal, Especially In The Sad World We Live In Today.

When The Lumineers said " Oh Ophelia you've been on my mind since the flood "

And when Hozier said " Wasteland baby I'm in love I'm in love with you "

Things I remember reading online that I wish I had screenshotted: Story of a trans guy, estranged from family, who got an invitation to his sister's wedding, but their parents had specified that he'd better come in a dress or not come at all. But they hadn't seen him in almost 7 years and didn't know that not only was he on T and had surgeries, he's a passionate weightlifter.

So if I remember right he sent the sister a heads-up beforehand and the sister was like "holy shit do it", and he showed up in a pink, frilly dress, and sneakers. No makeup, jewellery or anything, just this bulky, hairy dude in a dress for no particular reason.

Their parents, naturally, still got mad despite of him following their exact, specific instructions in order to "not embarrass the family", and after the wedding the sister made sure to pick as many photos of the wedding as possible with the brother visible in them, because it was now a funny family story of bringing the family together by pissing the shit out of their parents.

Gentle reminder that Jesus was an immigrant, whose parents had to run from their own land in a quality alike to modern refugees. Gentle reminder that Jesus helped the poor and unfortunate and despised the greedy and miser, “It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God”. And let’s not forget the cleansing of the temple.

He protected women and rightfully blamed men for their own sins, even going as far as to tell them “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. (…) And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away”.

He didn’t ever speak of abortion, but on Exodus 21 it’s stated that “If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise”. Which shows us a woman is to be valued over that which she carries, for the loss of the fetus would be compensated with as little as a fine, but the life of the woman merited as high a penalty as life for life.

Anything else Christians use to justify their anti-abortion posture is taken out of context (seriously, they use verses like Genesis 9:6: “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image”, as if it wasn’t very obviously speaking about murder among adult men. Or verses such as Exodus 23:7b: “Do not kill the innocent and righteous”, which, to be applied to abortion, requires us to understand an unborn fetus as “innocent and righteous”.

So no, he definitely wouldn’t agree with nazis. Nor with American Conservatives.

a warning about “defenders of tomorrow”

Don’t harass the fucking creators of Voltron with it.

I can’t believe I have to fucking say this, but your fandom? The vocal part of is, quite frankly, is insane. NOBODY deserves to have death threats, abuse, or this “Leakira” promoted and shoved in their faces as “the better story”. Whether you like it or not, these staff fought for Shiro, Dreamworks is still treading on eggshells around homophobic countries where a lot of their revenue comes from. 

Run with this idea! Make content for it! It’s fun and creative and original. Make fangames, fanart, stories, whatever! Cyberpunk is fun, and I encourage creativity wherever it lands. 

But don’t push this idea onto the staff. They did fight for you. They’ve had troubled production issues since seaon 3, and this would be a slap in the fucking face. They’ve apologised, they’ve tried to explain without potentially losing their jobs. 

Leave them alone.

I’m in a love-hate situation with this fandom but the idea of defenders of tomorrow is fucking hilarious to me so here’s my messy-ass contribution

I can’t believe this is the first drawing I’m posting on this website ugh

charlie spring is a MASSIVE cavetown fan

I made a handy diagram

seeing all the 14-17 y/o queer kids who don’t know what v for vendetta is…. u mean the blockbuster film written by two trans women about a masked vigilante who decides to singlehandedly take down a fascist alternate version of england set in the distant year of 2020… and his driving force was getting justice for a lesbian who he never met but whose diary he found, who was separated from her wife before being killed by said fascist gov…. and it stars natalie portman…. okay

actual diary entry from when i was in 5th grade oh my god
