I know I'm a week late but I do think people are misunderstanding the point of the Anthony Bourdain quote about Kissinger
The point was never "Anthony Bourdain has good politics and is an unproblematic fave," the point is that even someone with mainstream liberalish politics who goes to Cambodia for a food tour - a, let's be honest, very bougie type of trip to be part of your job - and has a basic understanding of history and a bare minimum of human decency can come away from that bougie food tour wanting to murder Henry Kissinger with their bare hands. The point is that Henry Kissinger fucked up this country so bad the only reason he wasn't lynched decades ago is because it's on the opposite side of the world and the people who were in proximity to him never really saw what it was. The point is that if we could see firsthand what our First World politics do to the Third World we would understand that monsters walk among us and it's a cultural failing that we let them die at home at 100 years old surrounded by their friends and family.
Let No Man Deceive You
Let no man deceive you with vain words. Words alone can be deceptive so they must accompany the corresponding action.Everyone in a church is not saved. Everyone on the job is not a good worker. All teachers do not have the best interest of the student.
Let no man deceive you with vain words. Especially when their words offend you. Keep it moving. However, at times you…
All the bullshit queer infighting about queer subgroup a refusing to be normal about queer subgroup b, or no it's b that can't be normal about a, or no it's both of them refusing to be normal about subgroup c-
And I feel it's time to recognize that the problem has less to do with specific identities and more to do with people refusing to be normal about queer people other than themselves
Yes someone who's like this will usually be slightly more normal about someone whose queer identity is more similar to their own than not, but I have never seen, for example, an explicitly transmisogynistic trans man who wouldn't jump to throw another trans man under the bus for "making us all look bad" at the first viable excuse, and we all know how big overt exclusionist movements like terfism end up just aggressively policing the ingroup to make sure they never, ever, ever deviate from a perfect True Scotsman
It's self-centered bullshit is what it all is and I think it deserves to be seen for that
Server-wide reactions to: Scar failing in the first 10 minutes on ep 1, first yellow, end portal opening, ender dragon kill (pretty calm compared to everything else lol), first red kill (poor lizzie), first perma-death, Jimmy and Mumbo’s perma-death seconds apart, end of session announcement on zombie apocalypse ep, and finally- reading the last secret task
Others from the series: The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Devil, Strength, The World
A bit of symbolism under the cut, but I'm curious of other interpretations 👀✨
I matched The Star with Ruth based mostly on visuals and the reverse meaning (which among other things mentions feeling like everything is against you, which I thought fit her well).
Elements that represent hope, opportunities and shining bright from the original card are turned into foreshadowing of her death here.
Light - Her Moment, chance, ambitions and wants. The second she enters it, she's dead.
Really annoying how many ppl's framework for religion is (white) Christianity = bad // other religions = good.
Like, we have historical examples of ~The Big Five~ all being used to put together genocidal ideologies let's not push for a framework that suggests that's impossible.
