Isaiah 28: Six Slinky Chapters

The following six chapters, Isaiah 28-33, are like a Slinky, or an eagle in the updraft. In a series of sermons, Isaiah gives a woe, then a promise and call to faith, then he wheels back to the woe, and again to a promise and call to faith. #Isaiah28

Lessons of a Slinky Did you ever play with a Slinky? When I was a child, Slinkies were coils of wire (they are now made of plastic) that look like a large spring. When I placed one end on a step and the other end on the next step down, the Slinky goes down the rest of the steps on its own―somehow the tension in the coils makes it move. Or have you ever watched an eagle, or an osprey wheel in an…

Updated Emergency Cleaning List!

As thanks for the warm (and, at times, hilarious) welcome back, here's an updated, significantly less wordy version of my Emergency Cleaning list. The original will be a decade old in a few months, if you can believe it!

You may need to modify or adjust the steps on this list based on your own situation — it's meant as a general guideline for those who need a little help pushing past the "Where the hell am I supposed to start?" feeling. This is also not meant to be a comprehensive "How to clean your house properly and maintain it forever" guide. It's for those moments when you have to quickly half-ass it because someone is going to be in your space soon and it's a disaster. If you can close some doors and cut some steps from the list, even better. Definitely do that.

(This is one of many checklists and downloadables available on my Patreon, if you're into that sort of thing.)

#ufyh #unfuck your habitat #emergency cleaning #I am bad at graphic design and that's OK #ufyh's return to tumblr #I thought it was twitter that made me defensively add a million disclaimers to fend off bad faith replies #but no that definitely started here #I know I can limit replies and reblogs but I like the community participation so I'm not gonna do that yet #just don't be an asshole please?

the catholic rejection of it all

#one piece #op #trafalgar law #monkey d. luffy #gear 5 luffy #song is big god by florence and the machine #religious symbology? in my shounen anime protagonist? it's more likely than you think #im 24 years old it's the end of 2023 it's MY turn to finally make a cringe amv for christmas #to be clear. i dont think law sees luffy as his god. but i definitely think he's helped law regain some faith #i.e. catholicism (yeah hardy-hah one piece character is an ex-catholic its all very silly but let's take it unironically for a second) #it would've drilled into law as a child to believe in one true cause (that cause being god). and that will supposedly carry him through lif #give hope purpose etc. but a lot of former catholics choose instead to find that in something else. in law’s cause: #the freedom and hope corasan gave him #the freedom that luffy brings. the will of D. the goodness in the people around him #it's a transfer of faith that feels real and tangible #it's a neat concept and I don't see it talked about much #CJ's op watch-through #corasan #donquixote rosinante #sun god nika #CJ's edits #op analysis #amv

the thing about eliot spencer as a character, right. the thing about him.

(and as always your mileage may vary on my analyses so if we disagree that's cool actually)

is that he is in fact a somewhat emotionally constipated idiot who is occasionally sensitive about his perceived masculinity and gets defensive about emotional intimacy around other men (largely hardison, who's much more comfortable expressing affection and embracing a softer kind of masculinity), but eliot displays enough emotional awareness and sensitivity and respect for women etc etc that anyone who's been subjected to that era of television will put on rose-tinted glasses without even looking twice.

(and he is, don't get me wrong, incredibly emotionally aware for a professionally punchy guy with enough trauma to sink the titanic. it still startles me to see.)

on top of which we have the layers and the accessories and the excellent hair with the secret braids and the way he barely has an ego and he's good with kids and protective of his team without taking it too far, and some of us never stood a fucking chance.

#eliot #eliot spencer #orig #further discussion in further tags #I'm being perhaps a little critical and there are other ways to read eg the fragile masculinity moments #but I Do think they were intended this way and largely come across this way #I'm quite happy playing with a fanon eliot who's better at this shit is the thing? it feels faithful enough to the original. #but this is something I'm chewing over in a rewatch and it's interesting so far #the fact that he pretty consistently respects women doesn't stop him from treating men and women differently y'know? #the fact that his bantering with hardison expresses affection and gets quite soft over time #doesn't stop him from pushing hardison away on a semi-regular basis. often physically. #the fact that the fandom unanimously decided he's an utter gentleman in matters of dating #doesn't quite negate the time he physically stopped aimee from getting away when he wanted to talk to her #though that's one I might disregard because it's so early and I think they hadn't quite figured out the characters then #and it was admittedly a brief moment followed by very consensual happenings #perhaps. honestly. eliot may be reflecting the attitudes of the show here. #which were very progressive for the time and are still startling on several fronts now but also showing definite signs of age #arguably fanon eliot (as I understand him) is eliot adjusted for inflation. as it were. #there's a lot going on here I'm having a normal amount of thoughts about it I'm. stopping now

Some doodle requests of John Ward from insta. The ones submitted, in order, are:

Throws a bagel at him

Exorcising a demon child

Draw him pregnant

On all fours eating a pile of toes

I will perhaps post some other doodles of him because I'm getting back into Faith for the first time in a few years and I got some ideas while I was gone (namely one about a particular game over screen). Anyways see you guys later and sleep tight.

Things that would’ve been fun in Far Cry 5

The option to set up camp! To get advanced crafting and sleep-healing when you set up camp. Ambushes if you do it in enemy territory would be cool too. It’s such a beautiful landscape.

Incorporating more resistance members into the scripted kidnappings would help integrate them into the plot. Maybe Jess saves you from Jacob which leads into her story about the Cook, Grace tries to save you from John but fails, giving her a sense of uncertainty she can overcome by the end, etc.

The choice to spare the Heralds but also facing immediate, story-relevant consequences for sparing the Heralds. Joey refuses to acknowledge you if John lives. The entire Wolf’s Den becomes hostile if Jacob lives. If it’s Faith, angels stop attacking you, but their former friends and family do, and that’s a lot harder to see coming.

Textual mentions of conflict between the different factions of the resistance over their methods and struggles. A couple of radio arguments between Jerome and Eli over the torture of captives. The occasional ostracizing of refuges from the Henbane out of fear of the addictive, hallucinogenic effects of the Bliss spreading into different regions. Weird local feuds getting either forgotten about entirely or blown ridiculously out of proportion now that everybody suddenly has a sticky bomb. Jim from down the street has been waiting to blow you up for years.

we do not talk enough about how in 'after school special' we find out that Sam canonically wrote creative non-fiction about his own life as a child

AND he says this in an interview 10 episodes before we know Chuck exists??

I mean, I'm not saying Chuck made up that whole persona because of Sam but. I am kind of saying that.

#chuck shurley #sam winchester #I just think it's fun to think about Capital-G-God obsessing enough with this faithful little bloodfreak to write himself into his story #also they definitely fucked in the monster at the end of this book but that's not necessarily relevant to this #4x08 #4x13

ROTTMNT Theory: Donatello's Hidden Role

After rewatching ROTTMNT (shorts and movie included), I realized something about Donnie's character that I've hardly seen anyone mention, and I'm going to talk about it in depth here.

I'll assume you've already watched the series and dive right in, but spoiler warning under the cut in case you care about that.

Let me start with something seemingly off topic. Raph is the oldest of the four brothers, which landed him the responsibility of keeping his younger siblings safe when their father was unavailable. (Not trying to bash Splinter. He's gradually grown to be a better parent later on, but you can't deny he was fairly neglectful in the beginning of the series)

The constant pressure Raph went through was brought up in the episode "Anatawa Hitorijanai", and then the movie showed he still struggles with it now.

He's constantly shouldering the burden of being their family's sole protector, but is this the truth? What if I told you there are actually two protectors in the family? And that the other one was Donnie all along?

When you look closely, Donnie is surprisingly protective of his loved ones. I did a tally of how often each brother exhibits what could be protective behavior, and Donnie was in second place (29) after Raph (35). Some of these choices are debatable, but here's a bunch of examples as pictures.

Would you believe me if I told you I still have a couple smaller examples I had to leave out due to the picture limit? And that's not even including the few moments where Donnie and Raph ever-so-subtly parallel each other.

All things considered, Donnie and Raph aren't so different. Raph is the primary protector who faces the threats head-on with his physical strength, while Donnie is the secondary protector who tends to use more distant methods with his tech and wit. However, when push comes to shove, Donnie will also step up to take direct action when he deems it necessary.

They may be the brains and the brawn, but they both use their respective skills to defend and support their family.

#analysis #rise donnie #rottmnt #Donatello #Raphael #Sorry in advanced if the pictures have trouble loading #But seriously #I would love to see more of Donnie and Raph's dynamic if we get season 3! #Interestingly enough Donnie seems to be the least outwardly protective of Leo #Maybe the sibling rivalry makes him too prideful to show it as much #even though we know his protective instincts definitely extend to Leo as well #Alternatively there are a couple clues pointing toward Donnie seeing Leo as intelligent #so maybe he has a little faith in that? #The disaster twins are complex to say the least #I actually have quite a few extra examples I could share #but some of them are more debatable than others #I changed the tag from 'theory' to 'analysis' but I'm keeping the title the same

im doing a lot better now!

#ace attorney #i love adrian :) i think abt her a lot #she's like 'you guys saved me and i feel a lot better now bc of you' like we didnt try accuse her of murder girl IM SO SORRYYYYYY #one thing i did rlly like abt her in 2-4 #was like. phoenix's savior complex in putting all his faith and trust in his clients yea? #and well engarde betrayed that so it was like #this little sink of despair. but adrian ohh adrian she asks phoenix for help when everyone is at rock bottom and when it seems lost #and phoenix does. she becomes his new 'client' to redirect that faith towards #she's been through so much and was so so important to turning 2-4 on its head #IM GONNA GET YOU OUTTA HEEEEERRREEE #i was delighted to see her again when starting aa3 and so soon! im so happy for her. love her so much #definitely top 5 witnesses for me #she got her riza hawkeye fit on ...

how come you don't say palestine in your posts? the unnecessary censorship is weird...

hi friend. we really have no idea where this inaccurate and incorrect take is coming from seeing as we absolutely do say Palestine in the tags of pretty much every post we make. please note that we are a bear blog and post photos of bears. also please read our pinned post. if you would like more specifically Palestine related content please follow @fuckyeah-bears

#trying to take this in good faith #But it sure is a strange strange ask to be receiving #Definitely sent by someone who doesn’t actually read any of our posts #People sure are funny #Ask #Not bears
