Thought it's about time I made a post to pin, so:

Hi, I'm Seraph (real name Chris) and I post gay stuff, a lot of oversharing about my mental health, poetry and whatever seems amusing to me at the time. Follow me for writing, compassion, humour and raw honesty.

See the replies for my content.

A man with glasses, mid length brown hair and a greying beard.

One would presume a teacher might say of such a thing, "well it's not perfect but some of it is still l useful", only I can't see anything on here that's useful at all. What was going through that teacher's mind!?

Poor baby (that goes for you too!) I hope your day is swift and painless like a good execution. 😅

How could you do this to him!? 😭

Sanskrit manuscripts have these abbreviations in the margin referring to texts - anyone aware if there is a complete list of the standard abbreviations?

I go by he/him. I'd decided that my masculinity is whatever I want it to be before I came out and that has only felt more so since. It's a core part of my identity as a queer man. I'll answer to anything though even if she/her might still result in an unconscious flinch.

Oooh. Cool. So I go by He/Him, purely for the sake of ease. They/Them is probably closer to my sense of self, but even that isn't quite a match.

I'll know it when I hear it. Maybe it's more of a feeling than a word. 🤷

I am They/Them, but don't mind He/They too much, and fully understand why people would automatically default to He/Him so don't get annoyed when it is a genuine mistake, I do when they continue if, and I rarely do offline, I have corrected them.

This looks like the cover of a 90s techno single. Make of that what you will.

Apart from that, I feel ya. 😮‍💨

Seraph @seraphism.bsky.social · 6h

Thanks. I'm fine, just... tired and in need of a holiday, I think.

Seraph @seraphism.bsky.social · 6h

Feeling like a disaster this morning. Oh well. Work won't wait.

Indeed, all the tracks on Medusa were.

As the one agnostic (yeah, I know, even though I'm leading it) I was outnumbered, but all the views expressed were different and felt safe to express, which was nice. I do love our homegroup. 💜 2/2

Seraph @seraphism.bsky.social · 16h

We had a really good discussion in Homegroup tonight about what the beast represents in Revelation (and what it doesn't) and how that might translate to other periods of history including our own, as well as sharing different views on supernatural theories of evil. 1/2

I now love him forever and ever!

Cannot tell if I'm coming down with something or just exhausted. Or both, I guess?

TBF, I've been feeling like this on and off for a few weeks. I kinda wish it would just resolve itself into the crisis it's imitating so I can at least have some time off work and get it over with. 😝

I think my break is over. Still, is like to stay here. I could get a blanket and just watch videos all afternoon. No one would mind!*

*Everyone would mind.

Today is brought to you by Voltarol™️, which is the only thing stopping me from saying "ow" everytime I move my knee.

Seraph @seraphism.bsky.social · 1d

A moment to commemorate in these difficult times.

On this day in queer history: Oct 14, 1977

During a live TV appearance in Iowa, anti-gay activist Anita Bryant was hit with a pie in protest of her “Save Our Children” campaign. A sweet moment of queer resistance.

Gosh it feels like a long week already.

I'm just very aware of my evening commitments and preaching b for the second week in a row. Next week will be a bit better and the week after that might just be heaven.

Seraph @seraphism.bsky.social · 1d

I actually love 'I see Fire', but I feel your pain nonetheless.

He looks like he's considering it himself.
