Cis White Male, He/Him pronouns, 36 This is predominantly a place for me to geek about my fandoms (heavy focus on anything and almost everything BioWare - expect much Mass Effect and Dragon Age, but also Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Trek, Supernatural, and some others) and things that make me laugh. The latter often overlaps with the former. Organization here is a perpetual work in progress, but feel free to look through my tags at any time and reblog with more comments - if I've got commentary on something, I love talking more about it. For the record, anything that I post is free to reblog unless it has the tag 'dg gets personal'. Those are posts about me, to get things personal to me off my chest, not to be reblogged. Oh, and do note, I am a sucker for puns. There is a dedicated tag for them. There will be many.
Pointing out that the Rapture as a concept is a little less than two hundred years old - it's originally from the 1833 - that really buries the lede on how recent it is. Bc the modern evangelical take on the Rapture is from a book published in 1970. That predicted the Rapture would happen no later than 1988.
some of y'all need to learn how to accept hospitality. stop assuming people are only offering to look after you out of twisted obligation that they don't actually want to do. when you assume that, you are often denying someone the opportunity to genuinely show a friend or stranger love. even if you don't really care about what they're offering, it's respectful of their desire to be kind to accept it anyways.
i had a bunch of girls i've never met over for a women's group. every single one of them denied my offer to make them tea (despite already making myself a mug anyways), get them water, a scone, etc.
i can tell when people refuse to let me be a good host because they "don't want to be a bother". like no!! please be a bother!!! i want to serve you and make you comfortable in my home!
not to be like "we live in a society" but really do live in a modern culture than emphasizes individualism to the point where people will reflexively deny any help or kindness from others for fear of treading on their independence. newsflash: dependence on each other is what makes a community. next time someone offers you kindness, accept it instead of making excuses for why you don't need it. otherwise you've robbed both yourself of being loved and someone else from showing love.
I dunno, sometimes it feels much better to have a neutral word to describe a neutral reality rather than being defaulted to "gay" at best and "frigid bitch" at worst
“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.
