Mormon Kids Under The Age Of 18 Being Told Their Church Is A Cult

Making She-Ra characters on Sims 4 Number 3!

Featuring Swift Wind as probably the most cursed thing I’ve ever made, and Glimbow. They’re so cute :D Made Glimmer a spellcaster because glowy orb things and teleporting.

Please don’t come for me about Swift Wind’s terrible paint job. I’m fragile :o

Probably going to do the princess of sarcasm and UGH next.

Look at her opening doors to thousands of girls (if not more) around the world! 😍

One thing I love about Wicked is that Fiyero's very first song subtly suggests that there's much more to his supposed idiocy than meets the eye. He's singing about the virtues of ignoring school and being brainless, but he's using phrases like "life is fraught less," and "worry is rife," and even arguably "stop studying strife" and "woes are fleeting, blows are glancing," none of which are things you would expect to come out of an academically unintelligent person's mouth.

And more than that, his rhymes are quick, concise, and clever – he's good at wordplay. It's a musical, so obviously everyone's going to be rhyming all the time, but that doesn't mean certain characters can't have different levels of skills at it (consider Glinda's "populer... lar..."). For all Foyero hates school and wants to live the #airhead life, he can't completely hide his wit.

“[I]t is actually more expensive to be poor than not poor. If you can’t afford the first month’s rent and security deposit you need in order to rent an apartment, you may get stuck in an overpriced residential motel. If you don’t have a kitchen or even a refrigerator and microwave, you will find yourself falling back on convenience store food, which — in addition to its nutritional deficits — is also alarmingly overpriced. If you need a loan, as most poor people eventually do, you will end up paying an interest rate many times more than what a more affluent borrower would be charged. To be poor — especially with children to support and care for — is a perpetual high-wire act.”

Tolkien:

- Raised Catholic

- Considered his mom a martyr for the faith and said so

- Delayed engagement to Edith because his priest guardian told him to wait

- Major influence in converting C.S. Lewis to Christianity

- Was scandalized by Lewis marrying a divorcée

- Assisted at Mass

- Wrote a positively gut-wrenching imagination of purgatory

- Gave his main character of LOTR the ‘real name’ of Maura and had him destroy the ring, thus saving the world, on March 25th, the date of the Annunciation in the Catholic calendar

- Wrote a creation account that was a very explicit imagination of medieval Catholic understanding

- Said that the single most important thing he left to his son would be a love for the Eucharist

- Post-Vatican II would Very Loudly say the responses at Mass in Latin, embarrassing his grandson

“Oh but he was just culturally Christian!”

“If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”

We did, except it wasn’t called autism it was called “Little Jonathan is a r*tarded halfwit who bangs his head on things and can’t speak so we’re taking him into the middle of the cold dark forest and leaving him there to die.”

this is a universe where people have superpowers and there are talking trees but this person thinks having a smart teenage girl is unrealistic ok

You know I love how so many people are like “respect boundaries respect consent” until it’s time to respect people w OCD who can’t shake hands or be touched or when an autistic person tells their family member they can’t give hugs or when a chronically ill person tells you “no I can’t do this thing” and you think “maybe if I just make them do it anyway it’ll make them stronger” or when a mentally ill person or someone who has been abused is like “I don’t want to be around this person/thing it’s triggering” and you get people guilting them to “just get over it”

If you’re about consent and boundaries, good, you should be, but remember to keep that energy when moms of autistic kids are like “I still hug my child even tho it makes them have panic attacks” or when someone’s like “yeah they said they don’t want to be around this person cause it’s “triggering” but I’m their friend so they should do it for me” or when a disabled person says they can’t go up the stairs and you’re begging them to “try anyway”

Don’t lose that mindset, or that energy when it’s time to respect the boundaries or consent of mentally ill and disabled people.
