In Class: what-even-is-thiss: bobcatdump: jaskiegg: mellomaia: aphony-cree: beyoncescock: gahdamnpunk: Honestly!!! This is just psychological trauma in the making THANK YOU Iā€™ve asked parents about this and they always say they are teaching the child responsibility and ā€œrespect for other peopleā€™s things.ā€ If I point out that the child accidentally broke their own toy they always sayĀ ā€œI bought them that toyā€ orĀ ā€œmy sister gave that to them.ā€ The problem is that parents view all possessions as not really belonging to the child. A part of them always seems to think that the adult who provided the money is the real owner If a parent breaks a dish they see it as breaking something that already belonged to them, but if a child breaks it they see it as the child breaking something that belonged to the parents People raising children need to realize that household possessions belong to the entire household. If everyone has to use that plate then it belongs to everyone and anyone can have a forgivable accident with it. Itā€™s okay to deem certain possessions as just yours and ask everyone in the house to respect that, but extend the same respect to your childā€™s belongings Big mood. I know most of these are talking about little little kids, but hereā€™s a tale from middle school. I had forgotten to charge my phone one night, and this was back when cell phones used to beep loudly when they were low on battery. I kept hearing the noise throughout the afternoon and not recognizing what it was because Iā€™d never heard it before. When I finally did realize what it was, I was in science class and my fellow classmates were making presentations. I reached into my bag to try to turn off the phone, and then the low-battery sound went off, loud enough for the teacher to hear it. She confiscated my phone in front of everyone, and I didnā€™t get it back until after the weekend because it was a Friday. I was really embarrassed, especially to tell my parents. When I got my phone back that Monday, my teacher said it was important for me to learn this lesson now since in college they wouldnā€™t tolerate phones going off. Fast forward to when I was in college, any time someoneā€™s phone went off, either the professor would tell them to turn it off, or they would say, ā€œOh, my bad,ā€ and turn it off themselves, and everyone would move on. I even had a professor who danced around while someoneā€™s phone went off, and it was a welcome moment of levity during the lecture. I say all this to say, one of the worst aspects of being a child/teen was adults assuming my intentions were malicious. God Iā€™ve been reading these posts for a while and each time I am struck with the realization that certainly not all parents were supposed to be a parent ā€œI say all this to say, one of the worst aspects of being a child/teen was adults assuming my intentions were malicious.ā€YES this The problem is, even if families are forgiving the culture around children still effects the child. I use myself as proof of that. A few times between the ages of 4 and 18 I broke things. I broke my grandmaā€™s favorite Christmas ornament. Her first question was: ā€œAre you hurt?ā€ and when I apologized profusely she said ā€œIā€™m just glad you werenā€™t hurt.ā€ I broke a few plates. I broke a couple glasses. Every time my dadā€™s first response was ā€œDid you get cut?ā€ the second step was cleaning up the broken bits, and the third was a discussion of what led to me breaking it and how I could avoid doing that in the future. Same with spills. Same with stains. My biggest ā€œpunishmentā€ from my immediate family was being taught how to clean up the mess I made and being shown in detail how to avoid the same mistake in the future if it was avoidable. There were consequences for my actions, but they were the direct result of those actions and nothing much beyond that. My family tried so hard to teach me how to deal with accidents in a healthy way. They were patient. They treated every slip-up as a learning opportunity. They showed me a lot of love. The other adults still got to me. Teachers still punished and publicly shamed me and other students for our mess-ups. Extended family members outside of my small supportive circle still yelled at me. My friendsā€™ parents still got mad. To the point where whenever I messed up my first instinct was that my dad or grandparents were going to punish me, or yell at me, or hit me, even though they never did. They just didnā€™t. They always responded with patience and an attitude of ā€œIā€™m glad youā€™re safe and I want to help you learn from this.ā€ And I was still afraid of messing up. Mortified. Expecting the worst every time. Itā€™s likeā€¦ we need to change the culture around this, man. Completely.

In Class: lyrica-in-nerdvana: daysofstorm: pilgrim-soulinyou: jeremyyyallan: fagraklett: Chinese emperor Ai of Han, fell in love with a minor official, a man named Dong Xian, and bestowed upon him great political power and a magnificent palace. Legend has it that one day while the two men were sleeping in the same bed, the emperor was roused from his sleep by pressing business. Dong Xian had fallen asleep across the emperorā€™s robe, but rather than awaken his peaceful lover, the Emperor cut his robe free at the sleeve. Thus ā€œthe passion of the cut sleeveā€ became a euphemism for same-sex love in China. ā€” R.G.L. get you a dude who will fuck up his own clothing for you NO OKAY THIS IS REALLY COOL SO SHUT UP AND LISTEN KIDS. Ancient China was super chill about homosexuality okay. Like we have gay emperors and feudal lords, lesbian princesses who were girlfriends with their serving maids, gay ass poets who wrote lots of poems about that one courtesan who played the guzheng so well.In fact homosexuality was so okay that in Shiji, which is basically the Bible of Ancient Chinese history, there is an entire section dedicated to the gay lovers of emperors. Whatā€™s the best part? All the laws and criticism about homosexuality in Ancient China were all about shit like prostitution and rape. These laws wereĀ  outlawing homosexual stuff were all very specific. For example, there were laws banning male prostitution, but no laws against homosexuality. These laws were passed to stop the spread of prostitution and laws targeting prostitution in general were pretty common in Chinese history. There were also really strict laws about male rape. Rape was punishable by death, regardless of the gender of the victim. Rape a girl, you die. Rape a guy, you die. Have sex with a minor, you die regardless of whether it was consensual. The lightest sentence you could get was slavery where you were bound to the army.Also scholars wrote essays criticising the boyfriends of emperors, saying that they distracted the emperor from work blah blah blah but THEY ALSO DID THE SAME FOR THE CONCUBINES. Thatā€™s right - the issue wasnā€™t homosexuality but rather the hormones of the emperor. They didnā€™t care about the gender of the emperorā€™s favourite lover but rather the fact that the emperor was too horny to get shit done.ā€œBut WAIT, Modern China is a hardass about homosexuality!!!! How do you explain that!ā€Yes. That. Thatā€™s because of the late Qing years where Western influences entered the country and brought their gross ass homophobic attitudes with them. And the Qing government was so anxious to seem modern and be seen as equals to their Western counterparts. So they adopted Western ways and discarded their previous attitudes about homosexuality. Hence you have Modern China.So the next time someone tries to tell you that being LGBT is wrong because it goes against traditional Chinese values, tell them to go fuck themselves with 3000 years of Chinese queerness.Ā  Here are all the illustrations of historical gay couples by Ryan Grant https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/artist-spotlight/2012/08/11/ryan-grant-longs-history-gay-love#slide-0 This is one of the best things I have ever read.

In Class: crispy-ghee: Thereā€™s been a little bit of interest in Jagged-Tooth, Cousinā€™s first born son. A specific question was about his first meeting w/ Shepard, which I was gonna go on about, but I might make a comic about it later. So have a few sketches.Ā Jagged-Tooth:Ā  A rare Yautja Biotic, an elite Enforcer, and despite a rocky relationship w/ his father, he risked dishonor and punishment to join a faction of Yautja that went against the clanā€™s decision and went to aid Shepard. They meet when he arrives during the Battle for Palaven as surprise back up. Capable, dry, could be considered friendlyā€¦unless youā€™re Garrus.(When your dadā€™sĀ ā€˜favorite sonā€™ seems to be someone who isnā€™t even his fucking son, and who you think is a total dweeb, youā€™re not gonna be happy about that, I guess)He takes after his mother more than his father, though has his fatherā€™s intensity and skill, if only Cousin were more forthcoming w/ praise for that (he does recognize it, though he is very critical of his son and always being hard on him). Their relationship is that of an accomplished child with a father who has incredibly high expectations. That means that their relationship is very rocky.Ā This started when he was young, as his path diverted early from Cousinā€™s hopes and plans for him. Not many Yautja are taught to develop their biotic abilities, and due to there being some contention over whether or not biotics are respectable in the Hunt tradition, the training is more often than not discouraged. But Jagged-Tooth went into training, and instead of becoming a traditional hunter, went down the line of enforcement. Cousin still hasnā€™t fully recovered from that disappointment.Ā Joining the Yautja faction during the reaper war is the first time that Jagged-Tooth has ever had to operate under his fatherā€™s lead. He tries to be professional about it. Cousin, on the other hand, doesnā€™t try as hard to do the same.Ā Someone described Jagged-Tooth as aĀ ā€œrare Yautja Bishounenā€ and you know what? Yes.

So much of the Old Testament is HORRIFICALLY translated from the Tanakh, it drives me batty. WAIT WAIT WHAT DOES IT SAY?????? I NEED TO LIKE,, DESTROY MI MUM FOR BEING REALLY HOMOPHOBIC Okay, so, strictly speaking, the infamous Leviticus 18:22 does say ā€œforbidden.ā€ Hereā€™s the thing: 1) The word translated as ā€œforbiddenā€ is ā€œtoevah.ā€ While that translation isnā€™t ā€¦ wrong, itā€™s sort of like saying ā€œMcMansionā€ means ā€œreally big house.ā€ There are a lot of connotations in that word. The specific issue with toevah is that we ā€¦ sort of ā€¦ donā€™t know anymore exactly what it meant. Based on context, it seems likely that the word referred to something ritually forbidden. This part of Torah was written not only as a guide for future generations, but also to say ā€œso, look around, see your neighbors? DONā€™T DO THAT.ā€œ Thus, if we interpret ā€œtoevahā€ to mean something thatā€™s forbidden to do as a ritual before G-d, then the verse says nothing whatsoever about Adam and Steve and their two kids and their dogā€“itā€™s saying you shouldnā€™t have sex with another man in the Temple as a sacrifice. 2) Following the same ā€œthis is ritually forbiddenā€ logic of toevah, this verse may also be interpreted as ā€œdonā€™t do sex magic,ā€ which was a thing in. Like. A lot of fucking cultures at the time. 3) Hebrew is a highly gendered language, and the grammatical gender in this verse is really really weird. One of the ā€œmenā€ in this verse is given female grammar. Why? Who fucking knows, man, this isnā€™t the only grammatical oddity in Torah. (There are also places where G-d is referred to as plural, and also as female.) One suggestion is that this is a way of creating a diminutiveā€“that is, that the verse should be read as ā€œa man should not lie with a boy.ā€ Now, itā€™s worth noting that modern secular scholarship has concluded the written Torah was written down around the 6th century BCE, and most non-Orthodox Jewish scholars are like ā€œyeah, all things considered, that sounds pretty legit.ā€ Do you know what else was happening around the 6th century BCE? What laypeople tend to mean when they say ā€œancient Greeceā€ was happening. Do you know what happened a lot in that time period in Greece? Dudes forming relationships with younger boys, like ages 10-15, and using them for sex in exchange for financial gifts, mentorship, etc. While we donā€™t know just how young some of these younger boys may have been, we do know some were prepubescent. In light of this, and also something I mentioned under the first pointā€“ā€see your neighbors? DONā€™T DO THAT,ā€ if this verse is interpreted to say ā€œa man should not lie with a boy,ā€ then itā€™s pretty clearly ā€œmy dudes, my fellows, my lads, donā€™t be fucking pedophiles.ā€ 4) Because of the grammar I mentioned in #3, itā€™s also possible that ā€œshould not lie with a man as with a womanā€ is actually referring to a place, not an abstract personhood: a man shouldnā€™t have sex with another man in a womanā€™s bed. In the time period, a womanā€™s bed was sort of likeā€“that was her place, her safe sanctuary. It was also a ritually holy place where babies were made. By having sex in her bed, youā€™re violating her safe space (and also introducing a man who may not be a male relative, thus forcing her into breaking the laws of modesty). If this verse is read this way, then it should be taken to mean ā€œdonā€™t sexually violate a womanā€™s safety and modesty.ā€5) And as an offshoot of #4, this may be a second verse relating to infidelity. Which womanā€™s bed is any random dude in 600 BCE most likely to have access to? His wifeā€™s. But laws were administered differently based on whether the person they pertained to was slave or free, male or female, and so onā€“thus, a man committing adultery with a woman would be treated differently than man committing adultery with a man (especially because the latter would carry no chance of an illegitimate pregnancy). So youā€™ll note, there are a lot of ways to read this verse, and only a one-to-one translation with no cultural awareness produces ā€œbeing gay is wrong, all of the timeā€.(Youā€™ll also notice the word ā€œabominationā€ is nowhere to be found. Thatā€™s like ā€¦ a straight-up fiction created for who only knows what reason.) Apparently tumblr mobile doesnā€™t want to show @prismatic-bell ā€™s long and in-depth essay, so hereā€™s the screenshots, because it still shows up on mobile browsers: Much appreciated. I love when scholarship and history debunks bullshit ā€¦I sadly have more bullshit to report. ā€œremoved for violating guidelinesā€, EVERY screenshot. ā€¦goddamnit Letā€™s try this again I am horrified that @prismatic-bell keeps getting censored + this info is gold. Many thanks, @pulmonary-poultry. This isnā€™t the only Jewish post of mine thatā€™s mysteriously stopped showing up in searches and/or vanished from my blog entirely, but it is the one I get the most requests to repost, so this saves me from having to rewrite the whole damned essay. @the-invisible-self, thanks for bringing it to my attention that someone was able to preserve the post!
