    I know a Thomas too! He’s the straight cis eye of a queer hurricane. And it wasn’t always this way, he just keeps pulling folks into his massive orbit. Folks who later realize they are queer. He never brings it up or even seems to notice.

    I finally realized what’s going on and it’s just a little weird. Like, what the hell is going on? Do my friends even have free will?! Do I?!

    I conclude that Thomas has such a pure heart and loves so freely that he innervates people with restless souls. They/we are drawn to this vibe like planets in his solar orbit.

    I should write him a poem about this

    Thomas’ pure heart

    Orbit for expanding souls

    A queer hurricane



  • Yeah, TBF I was really just making a snarky dig at the misogyny in the evangelical world.

    I can immediately think of a counter example: the Golden Compass. It’s written by a man, but basically takes the stance that the devil is the good guy and has a main character whose best skill is the ability to lie so well she can pretty much always get what she wants. The church equivalent abuses children and looks the other way about it when confronted 💀

    Unsurprisingly that series isn’t too popular among fundies

















  • Definitely include a graph of shareholder value overlayed on top.

    Sarcasm aside, maybe we should have a graph that also shows:

    • average hours worked a year
    • average number of sunsets a person sees before they die
    • average hours spent with loved ones per year
    • average rent
    • average hours worked to pay for groceries
    • average hours spent doomscrolling on social media
    • average student loan debt payments
    • suicide rate
    • average zoom calls a year
    • happiness

    And see that by basically all metrics we are working more, paid less, more depressed, more stressed, and unhappy.
