Remember that ALL religions are based on the same 3 principles:

1. We do not heed Heavenly voices when they tell us how to interpret the law.

2. Real property is transferred by payment of money, but movable property is transferred by the act of lifting.

3. No one can agree what #3 is.

Haiti is not a poor country—it’s an impoverished country. There’s a difference.

Forced to pay a crippling debt to France for its own freedom—a debt it’s still paying—Haiti was further isolated by global powers, especially the U.S., which exploited its resources and kept it in a cycle of poverty.

Mozart was such a troll

Vatican: if anyone dares BREATHE a word of this super duper pretty song outside these walls you're excommunicated

Mozart: can I hear it?

Vatican: no pen and paper tho

Mozart two days later: here's the entire piece transcribed, I only missed six notes

Vatican: you WHAT

See, I don't understand when people say things like this. lt's such a lazy way of experiencing life.

Genres of art are filled with a wide range of artists, so to claim you don't like the entire thing just shows that you decide in advance to not like it.

I can't remember who said that AI art slurry is the defining aesthetic of American Fascism but they were spot on.

Cherry blossoming dates as an indicator of climate change:

Elected officials, your posts should be:

1. Breaking info (we don’t need you to tell us what we already know)

2. Telling us concrete things we can do (not how to feel, that’s obvious)

3. Telling us what concrete things you’re doing (and why it’s helping)

That’s it.
Stop wasting our time.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

We must talk about the targeting of queerness and transness then and now by Nazis, but you cannot understand the parallels without understanding that in 1929, Hirschfeld was called "a Jew preying on Aryan children" ...

Please, friends, it's important, when we talk about queer history, to remember that Nazi targeting of queer & trans folxs was & is inextricably linked to antisemitism. Nazis explicitly connected them, calling queerness a "Jewish perversion" & blaming Jews for "infecting" Aryans with queerness.

PS. It is entirely possible to read the gospels in an authoritarian way:

No single action can change the world? Nah, that's bullshit. Every action changes something about the world. You and the world change each other every day. If nothing else, there are people who need to know right now that their allies will speak out, whether the oppressors ever admit wrong or not

If you, my ,*Canadian* client, utter the words "force majeure", I will reach through the phone and slap you.

ARGH.

cant decide if it’s funny or heartening or crushingly sad (all of the above!) how if a website (pornhub, sure, why not) picked 20 or 30 of the people making anxious “haha jk unless” jokes at complete random, they’d probably end up with one of the most spectacular mastheads in media history

Do I already have a coffee? Yes.

Will I join in if my coworker is doing a coffee run?

Also yes.

Shalom friends!
