"We're gonna be talking about the BOOBY! We'll be talking about the WOODCOCK! Do you think that's FUNNY, Butthead? Do you find it AMUSING that we'll be talking about the SWALLOW? Yes, we're also gonna be talking about the DICKCISSEL, the BUSHTIT, the COCK-OF-THE-ROCK, the SHAG... and we will DEFINITELY be spending a LOT of time talking about...GREAT TITS!!"
It’s maddening to find out that the scholar who first developed the idea that “Zionism is Settler Colonialism”, Fayez Sayegh, was a member of the Syrian Nazi Party during and immediately after the Holocaust, was an active participant in the Red Scare, using it to demonize Israel as a manifestation of a Global Communist Threat™️ through the height of the Cold War (true to his Nazi roots, accusing Israel of Judeo-Bolshevism) before switching to a Colonialism narrative when Post-Colonialism came in vogue in the 60s. And yet, the people I hear parroting the talking points of this anti-Communist, Ultranationalist Fascist-turned-scholar are the people who are constantly talking about how Liberal Progressives aren’t Communist enough and actually enemies because “Liberals will always side with Fascists”. Maddening.
If you’ve ever noticed how the “Zionism = Settler Colonialism” narrative eerily shares the core components of the far right’s Replacement Theory (that there are 1. Jews 2. conspiring to invade a given place and 3. replace the population with Jews), this is why; it’s because the idea that Zionism is Settler Colonialism came from a literal Nazi.
shoutout to the girls who talk too much. to the girls who get overly excited at the opportunity to speak to someone. to the girls who love too quick. to the girls who give all of themselves to everyone they meet. to the girls who are always scared of making a bad impression. to the girls who’s only dream is to have friends like the other girls. to the girls who will do anything to be good for people. to the girls who are scared they won’t ever receive the love they give out so eagerly. shoutout to the girls who are filled with love for everything around them, even though they’re scared of what it may bring. i love you. you are loved and will find the love you need. <3
ok but helen and odysseus have SO much potential as a brotp. his lying/disguise skills + her vocal impression abilities? the chaos would be UNSTOPPABLE
Please be wary of imposing things that have worked as good spiritual habits for you onto the lives of other people as law.
I'm afraid even the best teachers and pastors have done this but it's precisely because these habits were born out of sincere desire that it worked for them, and it's admirable to have strong self discipline and dedication and wish to share such habits as ideas with other people but please don't let anyone tell you that you are sinning if you don't:
Read the bible at a specific time of day
Read through the whole bible every year
Never miss church ever (even if you're sick)
Schedule your travel so that you never miss church
Avoid being in a room alone with someone of the opposite sex
Have a bible that's literally physically in bad repair
Many, many other things I've heard people speak as if they were law
