Had a dream I had already finished my japanese traditional leg tattoo but in my dream Sailor Mars was portrayed as Guanyin/Kannon riding a dragon on my leg, which I think is a cool idea cuz of the whole Virgin Mary syncretism/mask situation, so I told my artist

stressed I got a clinical rotation approved but then they said they wouldn't be able to grade me since there's no agreement between my university and theirs and I need a grade

I don't understand how they could just show no respect at all to a kid like that, who ultimately did the right thing... In all my years of playing, I've never been so disappointed overall...

Kinda feels like Zul'jan dying killed off the community investment in the story lmao Retail story overall feels like it's just meandering until 12.2 though, and I have no desire to burn out on Forever before actual launch, so I have resolved to just soaking in all the delicious WC3 Forsaken content

I remember 10 years ago I said that Evangelical Protestantism is an arm of US Empire and the entire theological/philosophical structure behind it is both intrinsic to US centric cultural empire and also a detriment to humanity by its annihilation of culture and worship of capital

Me ten years ago: Protestantism, especially Evangelicals and Dispensationalists, are deeply evil and will lead to global catastrophe Everyone: what Juan you're crazy Everyone today: ªh, I see

hmmmmmm finalized my chest tattoo concept representing god the father / creation

The specialists trust me enough to train the new residents in the hospital's system :) nice

Okay so: Left scapula I'm going to do Inti-Saturn but left pectoral I'm gonna put a Moon, right scapula I'm going to do Isis-Yemaya but right pectoral I'm gonna put a Sun

Yep Ppl don't have to be persuaded to accept fascism. If it makes them feel good, if they aren't the outgroup suffering under it? They'll handwave literally anything associated with it, if not fully enjoy it. The only reason the Taliban is floundering now is EVERYONE is suffering, not just women.

This leads to the uncomfortable conclusion that, like average Russians, many Americans would be largely okay with fascism so long as they felt the economy was improving for themselves personally. trib.al/JBa1Ma6

My med school friends get confused and upset when I tell them to get into esoteric stuff and magic and mysticism you first need to read philosophy and the mythologies of many cultures

It's so sad when a tattoo concept you have is thematically fire but aesthetically it's ass (Wanted to do a Jerusalem cross but replace the four crosses with a Chakana, an Ankh, a latin cross, and a bead cross to represent the four continents)

ToS and EULA’s need to apply to ALL players regardless of whether they bring in a bunch of revenue or not. Ignoring the issue is not effective PR.

Anyways now that the Roaches have been sufficiently blocked and I assume the bot money for the season has dried up, I will once again point out they were sending death and rape threats against a lot of us and most content creators didn't give a fuck until a dev deactivated lol

I wrote for @thecut.com about the Cornell case and what it says that, at my institution and many others like it, protesters are often punished more harshly than sexual assailants www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

For anyone thats saying oh im on EU I will be safe from Asmon and his fans... im sorry but u very likely wont. They want to spread it to EU as well and on Normal mode and even RP if possible. Pls raise your concerns about this as it is a serious topic and the man and his guild are harassing others

asmongold should have been banned a looong time ago and the forever situation is basically the invoice for all the times blizzard decided not to get rid of him.

Thinking about Genesis The Abyss was Formless, Empty, and Dark God the Father Created, giving Form, then the Spirit who is Wisdom Moved, which Filled, and then the Light who is Word Was, which Shone. To Darkness belongs Death, to Emptiness belongs Sin, to Formlessness belongs Nothing.

The biggest problem with integralism, I think, is they just want a moral justification for fascism. They don't want a Catholic state in order to promote virtue, evangelization, and care for the needy. They aren't even assuading a guilty conscience. They want it to be praised for pious aesthetics

Was designing my chest tattoo and I swear both Christ and Sophia illuminated my mind

So many "Witchtok" posts are recycled Tumblr posts of mine from 10-15 years ago I'm realizing

wait, left leg tattoo ideation update: half leg (booty cheek to knee) in traditional japanese style of anime characters I really like/meant a lot to me growing up: unohana, sailor mars, gomamon, chopper (as a qilin), spinel sun, gengar, nall (lunar legend), card captor sakura

Filled the book of my Christ tattoo Decided to do Math™ Back when I was a teenager, I had the idea that Christ is both Derivative and Integral, and it's an idea I've come back to on occasion, so voila :) One must be A Little Edgy And Corny when getting religious tattoos to offset the pretense

I remind everyone Pedobear as a meme originated on 4chan to warn people *against* CSAM being posted on the website, because people would often post CSAM in porn threads. The fact the Roach Squad don't know this is telling. They're not even real gamers. Just fascist LARPers.

"All the philosophies of change, the revolutionary, nihilistic, futurist utopias, all this poetics of subversion and transgression so characteristic of modernity, will appear naive when compared with the instability and natural reversibility of the world." - The Perfect Crime

"This reminds me of a critical mistake made in previous generations of socialists; the idea that before any political action happens, before it’s worth contesting power, the people need to be educated."
