A Heathen’s Perspective on Polyamory

I was recently reading a thread on Bluesky about Pope Leo's denouncement of polygamy. This is another article from CNN on the matter. "Succession of Faces" would be awesome as a name for a band, let alone polyamory itself. Water is wet, the Pope is Catholic,…
A Heathen’s Perspective on Polyamory
I was recently reading a thread on Bluesky about Pope Leo's denouncement of polygamy. This is another article from CNN on the matter. "Succession of Faces" would be awesome as a name for a band, let alone polyamory itself. Water is wet, the Pope is Catholic, and monogamy is the norm they wish to enforce. Between the cultural forces they are pushing against and economic realities, I doubt this is going to make much of an impact.

I just want to say thank you to all the new peeps and mutuals who showed me love on this piece 💕🫶

This is the most likes and reposts I think I’ve ever gotten, it’s such a nice feeling thank you for making a girl feel like her fanart / art is loved <3
Totally random but couldn’t get her out of my head and had to draw @sp00kwave.bsky.social ‘s OC Bubblebelly ❤️ surprise! Lol
Just a rough sketch and colour-in, but I absolutely adore her design and would love to see more of her!! 🥰

My hot comic take is all wfh comic shit should be paid a salary, every other week, like everyone else at the publishing company. I’m tired of hearing about our colleagues crowdfunding funerals and healthcare.

“You’re so cringe bro.”

“Y’know I can draw you pregnant, right?”

“Right. Like I haven’t heard that one before.”

“Giving birth then.”

“You wouldn’t.”

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

John Beckett wrote an excellent post on Patheos titled What It Means to Be a Pagan. He reminisces about the blogging scene for Paganism circa 2015 and earlier, and I would echo his sentiment: "One of the things I miss about the pinnacle of Pagan blogging from the mid-2010s are the back and forth statements and rebuttals by people who were trying to figure out what it means to be a Pagan in the contemporary world.

Gonna bang the drum once more: Labelers are inherently someone else making a judgement call about whatever they are about. People will get it wrong. Just like blocklists, you are outsourcing your judgement to someone else, who may have an agenda, use it to settle scores, or just get it wrong.
This is not AI!!! Help me remove this claim? Everyone who's visited me at cons has seen me do live drawings!! Who flags this?? @aimod.social

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa has died. Bummer news.

I mean, what do you even need to say about his performance as Shang Tsung? Iconic.

Thoughts on Considering Kinship Vol 4: Persons
November 23rd of 2024 I wrote a post stating that I would be exploring the central question in each book as I finished them. Since I have finished Considering Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations, Vol 4: Persons, as a Heathen polytheist and animist I wanted to explore the question that the volume explored: “Volume 4: Persons -Kinship spans the cosmos, but it is perhaps most life changing when experienced directly and personally.

In the rest of the world, it is World AIDS Day.

I was a high school student when it started, though we did not know that at the time. I was into my college years before the pandemic became widely noticeable. I was a young artist when my friends started to leave us.

We will always remember.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

Oh no. Now I am listening to BattleTech Lore and now the gears are turning on making a small MechWarrior mercenary group and writing their story. Nothing Terra-shattering, just picking a section of space and following their journey.

Eagerly awaiting the Clan Wolf DLC dropping December 3rd. The first two MW5 Clan DLCs were great and I deeply enjoyed playing them. Best part has been playing through them with my son, who really enjoys the setting.

You don’t get to promote yourself as a vegan friendly company when you’re using tech that’s literally killing the environment. Not without being massively disingenuous.

You also can’t pretend you’re pro-artist either. AI is artistic theft being used to try and make artists extinct. Fuck off.

So yeah, as noted in replies yesterday, the company uses AI in its “photography” which means I won’t be using them again.

They don’t use it for designs so I’m keeping my goddamn boots that I waited ages for but I won’t be mentioning the site anymore.

I hate that this keeps happening.
