Heard someone say that Ethel Cain, Hozier, and Florence and the Machine all make music for dead people it's just that they all died differently.

I love the continuing theme through much of Hozier's lyric writing that love between two completely ordinary, imperfect people is more intimate and profound than anything heaven promises.
The only Heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
_
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby, and my babe would have me
When I was kissin' on my baby
And she put her love down, soft and sweet
In the low lamplight, I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
_
There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come
But I'll be your man if you got love to get done
_
Be as you've always been (Lover, be good to me)
Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover, be good to me)
That freed the first man and will do so again
And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)
It's been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed (Lover, be good to me)
Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?
Oh, lover, be good to me
_
I would not change it each time
Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
#hozier#love and intimacy#it's no wonder that lgbtq people who grew up in christian cultures (regardless of their own beliefs) appreciate his music so much#so true

i was thinking about the sleep deprivation thing that cults do and something i completely forgot about with regards to that conversation is that the sleep needs of children/teens are different to adults. it's a range as most things are, but when it comes to sleep you HAVE to go based off the biggest number to ensure everyone gets proper sleep because you cannot function properly without proper sleep
so, if you were a teenager who went to church camps and they allowed for less than 10 hours of sleep, or if you were a kid (6-12) and they allowed for less than 12 hours of sleep, you very well may have been sleep deprived, either intentionally or unintentionally
and as a little bonus: adults tend to respond to sleep deprivation with tiredness, but kids tend to respond with hyperactivity, and even one night of sleep deprivation can affect someone
#to add another layer to this#the whole perpetual spiritual warfare thing has manifested itself as long nights of prayer for children as young as like 10#in the denomination i was raised in at least#i used to be forced to wake up at 4am on school days to pray because “satan never sleeps so neither should you”#it's seriously so fucked up

Ok new thing, rb and put in the tags:
Do you have the game cats and soup
If you have it, do you name your cats anything specific (I name all of mine after flowers, my friend names his after musicals)
If you do, how do you name them
Examples! Tell me the names of your cats and soup cats
#Cats and soup#i name them randomly#like the first word that comes to my mind#maybe i should rename them

Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.

I think it’s fascinating how the time and social context a piece of media is released in can drastically change what an audience takes from it.
When Hamilton was first released in the mid 2010s, I don’t remember seeing any sort of criticism of it. It was near universally beloved (to my recollection). But when the Hamilton movie was released on Disney+ during the BLM movement, then we started to have conversations about celebrating slave owners and if racially blind casting actually makes it “woke”.
Rian has said he intended Miles Bron to be a stand in for Mark Zuckerberg. But in 2022/3, as we watch supposed genius Elon Musk destroy Twitter and throw a temper tantrum, we see him instead.
No story’s message is universal, nor is it static. Every person, every time period, with their own values, life experiences, priorities, will read it in a different way. And as our societies change and evolve, so will our interpretations of older books, movies, musicals, tv shows, and more.

No listen, casting Lin Manuel Miranda as Hermes is actually a genius move because Hermes is one of those characters that at the beginning makes you think "I dunno, I think I like this guy" but some time later it has swifted to "I don't know why I still like him but by GOD do I want to punch him in the face". And honestly, the "I like you" to "Punching On Sight" pipeline is the peak Alexander Hamilton experience
