today in “cis people are unhinged” a parent overheard a second grade teacher i work with talking about pronouns in zoom class and decided to a) try to get the teacher fired and b) pull her child out school. the reason my coworker was discussing pronouns? she was teaching a grammar lesson.
honestly the whole santa mythos kinda slaps from a theological perspective
like the fact that it’s overtly a fictional mythos intended to teach moral lessons, getting around the problems inherent in religious literalism. the way it takes concepts from christianity and just does whatever the fuck it wants with them. saint nicholas, a real person who lived in turkey in the late 200’s to early 300′s AD, now lives on the north pole, with elves (possibly an elf himself?????) and rides in a flying sleigh pulled by magic reindeer, one of whom has their own sub-plot. unironically love it. do this to all the saints. joan of arc lives in the center of the earth and rides a sasquatch.
finn going :0 as marceline talks about how saving the last remaining humans was her one constant in life is so fucking funny. u can see him loading. like “girl didn’t you endanger me when i was 13 like 900 times as a joke. i am literally the last known human boy on earth.”
Good God. The new strain was discovered in the UK and yet people are making jokes about “China released a new version.” It’s almost as if it literally doesn’t matter where an infectious disease actually emerges – people just want an excuse to be racist.
