CW/ Opinions on Religion
@peterrelph2
Being religious is perfectly fine with me. I have no problem with people's religion.
If you're Catholic, you do you.
If you're Protestant, you do you.
If you're any other form of Christian, you do you.
If you're Jewish, you do you.
If you believe in Hinduism, Buddhism, or Daoism, you do you.
If you are Islamic, you do you.
If you are Pagan, you do you.
If you still believe in the Old gods, like the Aesir, you do you.
If you believe in a religion you made up five minutes ago, you do fucking you.
My belief that religion is dumb doesn't come from religion itself. It comes from people who use religion to justify their horrible actions.
When your argument is centered around your faith, my faith in your argument vanishes immediately.

1960s Psychodrama of Eldritch Suspense https://ceoln.wordpress.com/2023/05/05/1960s-psychodrama-of-eldritch-suspense/
The old Truman quip: “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog” does not hold for Supreme Court justices it seems, who have no problems making friends with some very generous people who also happen to be conservative activists.
Last year we learned that Judge Alito shared information about a big court case with some of these friends, who were part of a co-ordinated effort to lobby the court.
Went to a donut shop in Japan today.
They had a CO2 monitor on the counter and a UV light on, plus circulating air through the ventilation system.
Also all the staff and most of the customers were masked. 😷
It's really not that hard and if a donut shop can do it we can certainly do it at least in schools and hospitals.
US politics
The GOP has made the Supreme Court a cesspool of corruption. #USPOL #scotus #clarenceThomas
America is built on a social order that gives some people – white men, specifically – the power to use whatever form of violence they deem necessary to “defend” themselves against all threats from “others,” real and perceived. The Right wants to preserve that order.
Not all monkeys are in the zoo,
Ev'ry day you meet thirty-two,
It could even happen to you;
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish is an animal
with long floppy ears,
It bristles at ev'rything it hears.
It's not no money
for the telephone,
It sure looks quizzical
when it comes home!
But if that sort of life
is what you wish,
You might decide to
be a fish. 🎹
I'm not normally political on here, but everyone on earth should read this article by Thom Hartmann. The title is a little misleading, because the primary topic is how fascism arises and takes over a government, precisely what the ignorant supporting Trump are slowly but surely doing.

Gotta like ADHD, this time my hyper fixation is, well, mushrooms! 🍄💜
Here are some unisex and more fem/masc options for all. Reblog if you agree that mushrooms are great and would like to support a small business devoted to using funds to the creation of music, film and poetry about neurodiversity, the climate crisis, gender and mental health. Thank you:)
