I will fulfill the promise I made when I survived cancer. I will open a cozy little pizza place that makes and rescues its own authentic 16-bit games. Yes, actual Sega Genesis games. I will bring people together, and create happy memories. And I will do it with love.

Anxious energy has to get out somehow, so here's another drawing of #wicanderhalovar from #criticalrolecampaign4 Spoiler warning for... Thimble having two failed death saves? Again? We started out that way, and I just feel like it's normal. #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolewicander

A man dressed in fancy teal clothing holds his hands up in surrender. He closes his eyes and says, "I'm going to close my eyes for this, because I don't want to see myself die." Behind his shoulder, a pixie watches him disapprovingly.

I'm a month behind on #criticalrolecampaign4 but I'm working my way back up lol. Have a picture of Wicander and Thimble to pass the time until the next session! #wicanderhalovar #thimble #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart

A man with white hair and fancy teal clothes cups a pixie in his hands. "Wow! You're so warm!" He says with a smile. The pixie, wearing a green and brown outfit, puts her hands on her hips and glares back. "Ugh. Your teeth are so much bigger up close."

There are many reasons to help people. One that I think gets overlooked sometimes is: helping others often helps you. So if you feel like shit, don’t flagellate yourself in the dark. Leave your head a little. Extend some kindness. You can’t do everything, but you can do some things.

A black and white comic page. A person sits at the bottom of a whole, endlessly anxiety rambling to themself. A speech bubble yelling “HELP!” cuts through. The person stands up and peers out the hole, seeing a figure lying injured on the ground with people starting to gather around. The person says “Hold on, man! I got you!” Another person in the corner says “Y’all need water? Bandages?”

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

All politicians should be good Christians, and most Anericans are people just like them (oddly enough, most of them are retired or on disability, many are veterans, and most are blue-collar workers; many that I know are in Unions) Despite this, they don't actually know how Anerica is doing currently

Whereas the smaller, older nondoms that focus on the unjust arrest, trial, and death of Jesus are the media illiterate who, despite mostly growing up during the Cold War, all seem to just intrinsically trust America to always do the right thing and be the good guy. To them, America IS chosen by God

Readings or think critically for themselves. What they are told is what they repeat, and so long as they continue repeating, they should be fine. What they do doesn't matter, so long as they continue to talk the talk and agree with what the group wants. They're the willfully ignorant in this case.

Hammering those cheap nails onto a cross as some sort of edgy, showoff bit is exactly what "megachurch" Trump supporters do- rage-bait, trolling, playing devil's advocate; they want to exist under the label of Christianity, with the safety of community and easy rules to "follow," but don't do the

Is sort of integral to the whole "Good Friday" story. It's an awful Friday, with targeted arrests, an unfair trial, an angry crowd wanting a revolutionary instead of a peacekeeper, and state-sanctioned death sentences being carried out at the end. There's a lot to unpack, but it's not a celebration.

Tornado @tornadoodles.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

The focus was on shocking the audience, giving them an experience and them letting them loose to enjoy the weekend without any substantial food for thought. Maybe I'm just a bleeding heart liberal, but acknowledging the fact that Jesus was arrested, put on trial, and the people voted against him

This chain-church I attended did not have a sermon so much as it had a reading of the text interrupted by an invitation to those in attendance to join the stage and hammer a nail into a cross. Nails were handed out as people arrived, and pew-by-pew the congregation hammered them in.

Tornado @tornadoodles.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

The smaller, older, generally nondom churches tend to focus on the honesty and integrity of Jesus. He knew he would be arrested, and yet he didn't run; he knew his trial would be skewed, and yet he stood trial. He did what was right, even when the literal (textual) world was against him.

Tornado @tornadoodles.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

I attended a Good Friday service with family at a new church, and the disconnect from small, nondom churches to megachurch services is a great example of the disconnect of Trump supporters (even when 80% of those in attendance are all Trump supporters.)

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".
