Ma'am I don't think it should have surprised me but it somehow?? didn't occur? to me that you reblogging things was you recommending the source materials. Which is incredibly obvious now that I'm typing it out.

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

Look I believe deeply in research and studies and careful analysis of heaps of data ("In God we trust; all others, bring evidence.") but something deep in my bones tells me that being outside playing so much you inevitably attempt to eat dirt is, in fact, a healthy thing.

if pointing out that the age of getting a phone decreasing along with the prevalence of short form video as the dominant form of social media content during the most significant collective educational gap in recent history all of which happened during one of the most significant windows of psychological development in a human lifetime has had a deleterious effect on the attention spans, self-regulation, impulse control, social skills, tech literacy, and actual literacy of zoomers and gen alpha. if pointing out that that is a real and serious problem makes me a boomer and an old crank who has fallen for “kids these days” propaganda someone find me a porch and a rocking chair so i can yell at you to get off my lawn

When I was younger (high school aged) I wrote a fanfic for My Little Pony (MLP). By all measures, it was terrible; there were pages and pages of pre-plot details about business practices and logistics for an OC who was flagrantly a Mary Sue. I hardly mentioned any canon characters, the plot was mostly an afterthought and half baked, etc.

In a few years, I grew enough to recognize MLP had devolved into a silly children's show, that my pages and pages had no literary merit, that fic writing was not a serious hobby.

I deleted it.

In college, with joyful friends who taught me to love life, I came to see that I had so much FUN writing that fic, unburdened by any thoughts of an audience or expectations of quality.

I regret deleting it.

Now, I start new projects, and they are terrible, and I savor their creation.

as a protestant there’s some pretty crummy portrayals of protestants in media but honestly i get sooooo angry on behalf of catholics for all the horror movies revolving around nuns and priests and the catholic church specifically. like. LEAVE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST ALONE. STOP BLASPHEMING THINGS THEY CARE ABOUT

Sunday Will Come

“I think that of all the days since the beginning of this world’s history, that Friday was the darkest.

But the doom of that day did not endure.

The despair did not linger because on Sunday, the resurrected Lord burst the bonds of death. He ascended from the grave and appeared gloriously triumphant as the Savior of all mankind.

Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays.

But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come.”

—Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, “Sunday Will Come” 2006 (emphasis added)

"lean not on your own understanding" because we can't have the whole picture because some things can't be understood from a human perspective within time etc etc. However also because I, specially, am an idiot.

It's so weird how many people just don't understand forgiveness, redemption, or penitence/penance, at all.

Like you explain that a person or character did something bad but then became penitent and was forgiven and/or redeemed of it, and people will say "OH SO THAT MAKES IT OKAY??" like.... that's not....... the point??????

What if, hear me out here, what IF I didn't have to see porn bots on here?

#If that is the content I wanted to see #I would be searching it out myself #Thank you #Porn is at best deeply disrespectful to the personhood of others #And corrupting to myself and my actual relationships with others #I would love if I could go look for posts about my lil' interests #Without having to report and block another one.
