cryptotheism

If the Holy Spirit is the aspect of God that exerts influence on earth, is that also true for Christ's miracles? Like when Christ did the loaves and fishes was it the Holy Spirit actually making changes to reality? Or can Christ also do that?

cryptotheism

Oh this is the filioque schism again isn't it

heresylog

Every major Christian theological question goes back to the schism?

Yep, always has been.

Signs of abuse, neglect, or mental health issues in younger people often get turned into a joke or a stereotype and I think that’s worth talking about.

The depressed teen that hates their parents has been a trope for years. Saying someone has daddy issues or that their behavior is fatherless is an insult. People call kids “ipad babies” and make fun of their short attention span.

It’s dismissive. Dare I say victim blame-y?

Seriously though.

I have so many thoughts on the 80s and early 90s movies that were "teen comedies" focused on the idea of "here is a teenager who has a very valid reason for being depressed, but the fact they are depressed is a joke for at least half of the movie". Like, kids getting bullied. Kids having parents die. Kids having parents divorce. Kids being forced to move away from their families. Those kids have reasons to be depressed and feel down. How is that a joke? How is it a joke to have a child be anxious or grieving?

this-is-adultism

This is a result of adultism.

this is literally what transphobes say about trans women. this is literally 1:1 transphobic radfem rhetoric, just directed at trans men this time. some people have identities that dont make sense to you, doesnt mean theyre malicious. but i mean, everything you do is malicious so i guess i understand why you assume that in everyone else too. like seriously do these people not hear themselves spouting what is Literally TERF rhetoric ABOUT THEM??? is there no cognitive dissonance???? no moment where they stop and realize what the fuck it is theyre saying??? jesus fuck i am TIRED of these fake fucking feminists!

in the new year i’m cannibalising any non aussie who makes a “australia was founded by criminals” joke who can’t tell me what year the convict system started and ended and what percentage of those people were below the age of 18

earlyspringbaby

”australia was founded by criminals”

  1. australia is host to the world’s oldest surviving cultures, who were here long before australia was “founded”
  2. the criminals didn’t find australia. colonists and explorers from the british upper class did
  3. the criminals were penal slaves. and 80% of them received this fate for petty crimes. 33,000 of them were below the age of 20. children were forced to travel with their convict parents on disease ridden boats, torn from their parents and institutionalised into orphanages upon arrival
  4. there were literally people already here
earlyspringbaby

there were more people under the age of 20 transported to australia as penal slaves then there were in us america at all. btw. if you even care

My therapist, who specializes in adults with ADHD, recently told me that all of her clients need a three day crashout period after a big life change. Finish the semester? Crashout. Change jobs? Crashout. Go on a really cool, really relaxing vacation? Crashout the moment you get home.

It's true of literally all of her clients. She works with a lot of them to put systems in place so that their crashouts are only three days. This includes the high-powered execs who travel regularly for work. It does not matter how successful or high functioning they are - they have ADHD, and a crashout is just part of the process of living with it.

I'm sharing this with all you ADHD friends out there, just in case you (like me) start shaming yourself if your crashout lasts more than one day. It turns out three days is kind of the best case scenario. Be kind to yourselves!

If you walked up to a trans woman and said “you’re too masculine I’m calling you he”

It would be horrible transphobic and a terrible thing to say

Same if you told a trans man he was too feminine

So why do so many of you feel comfortable doing the same to nonbinary people?

proudfreakmetarusonikku

like it makes me so sad that stuff that’d be recognised as horribly transphobic if it was done to binary trans people (and unfortunately it absolutely does happen and people are correct to see it as cruel and bigoted!) but for some reason it isn’t when it happens to anyone who doesn’t perfectly fit in a gendered box

whatthehellisthis-world

And the answer is exorsexism! People just don't see non binary people as real trans people or at least not real enough for them.
