still thinking about "decolonising" missionary work.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:

"but it's part of my religion to evangelise"

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆 infinite jaguar attack

"but we need to go to Ethiopia (one of the oldest christian countries in the world) to make them the right kind of christian!"

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆

jaguars

"but..."

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆 jaguars

"but missionaries bring schools and hospitals to poor countries" that's called humanitarian aid and trying to use humanitarian aid to get religious converts is actually SUPER fucked! hope this helps 🐆🐆🐆

i think it's fine to attribute some desire to biology, like wanting to have kids. like yeah I'm sure a lot of it is the living creature need to proliferate. it doesn't bug me. same as acknowledging that love is dopamine or whatever. a cynic saying love is just chemicals in our brains isn't a gotcha. like ok we as humans were so driven and fascinated by our capacity to love that we found the exact juice that produces that feeling and gave it a name. that's awesome, actually, i dig that, i love that. with my chemicals.

what if... our chemicals....

and they were both boys 😳

okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.

I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.

so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.

Hell yeah

girl help they are making me do my job at work

I feel cheated. no one on Reddit told me that tumblr is a serotonin factory. Keep liking and reblogging my posts please thanks

Just don't fly too close to the sun.

Throw me to the sun and I’ll get it pregnant

he understands the website your honour

Wow peasant 6 and peasant 8 are so mean

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

Will is better than me bc if I ever died and had to be brought back to life n anyone tested my patience I’d be a BITCH about it. Oh you’re blowing off our plans today? Guess I came back to life for nothing. No it’s fine we don’t have to do my campaign. Maybe ill just go fucking die again. Your middle school girlfriend dumped you? I wonder if it felt like when I was literally killed remember that?

you're going to see mike and will kiss on your screen in a couple of months let that sink in

One more thing I need to get off my chest. I'm kinda sick of the term "parasocial" being thrown around for every single little thing. Parasocial behaviour generally isn't inherently wrong or bad. We are humans, it's in our nature to seek connection. It is not strange that we connect to fictional characters, actors, or musical artists. Where parasocial behaviour starts being an issue is when you take it too far.

It's ok to make jokes and be dramatic. It's ok to project onto songs or the artist. It's ok to write fanfictions. Honestly, it's even ok to be a little obsessed.

It's not ok to doxx people. It's not ok to release birth certificates and other personal information. It's not ok to behave like a stalker. It's not ok to pretend to be in a relationship with a person who doesn't know you and cause them real life trouble over it. It's not ok to harass others for selfish reasons. It's not ok to yell disrespectful shit at them.

Just don't go real life on them and fucking respect clear boundaries. It's literally that simple.

emptying and reloading a gun with practiced efficiency so you think i'm an expert marksman but you later find out that's just how i stim

turning the safety catch on and off like i'm clicking a pen until everyone gets really mad at the noise but no one says anything because i have a gun and they don't

i own a shitty toy airsoft gun for this exact purpose it is fun as fuck actually. would recommend it

Introducing yourself to people is so embarrassing. Like hey this is my stupid fucking name, I enjoy exactly 3 things, and am clearly anxious. please don't immediately hate me

i wish tumblr was more accepting and encouraging of problematic people unlearning their shitty behaviour and educating themselves and growing as people. im tired of labelling everyone as a demon because they made mistakes out of lack of education

it’s nearly 2014, wake the fuck up people. girls don’t HAVE to shave, being gay isn’t a choice, racism is pointless, rape isn’t funny and sexism is fucking stupid.

HEARTBREAKING: band you just discovered doesn't have any other songs that sound like that
