YOU HAD ONE JOB, TRANSPORTER ROOM LADY. ONE JOB.

I think this is better if you assume that “[music playing]” Is “Beam Me Up” by Cazzette

I HAVE NEVER LOVED A VIDEO SO DEARLY

I reblog this for the purpose of making paraTactician watch it, as it is strangely reminiscent of Dave and Sollux in Double or Nothing.

I went with a friend to a training seminar in New Paltz, New York last weekend. The seminar was on building a church that welcomes all, regardless of background, and focused primarily on LGBTQ issues. During worship, we sang an inclusive doxology which I loved. It goes like this:

Praise God…

I find it amusing that the lyrics for the doxology you’ve found as progressive are really old. As in 1674 old. It’s awesome that you like them and if that comes across as condeacending I’m really sorry. I accidentally phrase things poorly so if it appears that way it’s unintentional.

I think it’s a reflection of the Christian culture of which I’ve been a part for most of my life.

Fair enough. I only recognized it because I’ve been going to a Lutheran church (that is thankfully gradually becoming less conservative) since I was 4 so I’ve heard it hundreds of times.

Plus side I didn’t realize how cool it is till you posted it because it became rote. So thanks for that.

Went and saw Jurassic Park 3D this weekend (I have never seen it in theaters and it was a blast)

Thought of how different the movie could seem from another perspective.

I just read another Russian folk tale about the Baba Yaga (Vasilissa the Beautiful). This furthers my belief that Kenzi from Lost Girl is totally justified in being absolutely terrified of the Baba Yaga.

““Our perception of religion’s influence in [Viking] society is based on texts written hundreds of years afterwards, by men from a different and more misogynistic religion.””

- Don’t underestimate Viking women | ScienceNordic.

Other interesting things from the article: A lot of Viking grave sites have been gendered according to modern Western perceptions of “feminine” versus “masculine” burial objects. Only problem? In graves where human remains have been found (and examined) as well, men have been buried with things like beads and cloth and jewellery, and women have been buried with weapons.

The fact that the Christian men who wrote down most of what we know today of Viking history/religion downplayed the role of women is pretty much a given, q.v. how few stories of the ásynjur survive, versus the “gaps” in the sagas where women would seem to fit (and the women that we do have are not meek and mild little things). It’s good to see more and more of these stories coming out in recent years (and telling that they all come from female anthropologists/archaeologists/whatever).

My Viking feels. Let me show you tiem.

some days I just go hard as fuck at the gym, that’s why thug kitchen keeps avocados stocked. not to mention all the other bad ass health benefits you get from this tasty mother fucker, like lowering the shit out of your triglycerides and raising your HDL. not to mention the fucking carotenoid lutein that helps prevent eye sight degeneration and cataracts. how about all the fucking folates in avocados that lower the risk of stroke? this shit also inhibits cancer growth.

fuck this, I’m making a sandwich.

seriously though, mayo is fuckin nasty. ain’t nothing in there for nobody. ugh.

Mostly for me to revisit and laugh later. It’s pretty funny if you liked The Dark Knight.
