THE TARDIS IS MATERIALIZING.
You’ve got to trust me. I’m here, just like, you, to solve this.
1x01 - Pilot
I admit, David Duchovny was hot back in the day. But I had a major crush on Scully.
Free People, you need to stop.
This is UNACCEPTABLE.
What even is this
Sometimes when I see things posted to Tumblr, I worry for a second that the person has posted it because they love it. This is one of those times. I am so glad that you people don’t love this.
What: Big Bear and Giraffe, napping together
Where: Living room floor
Blanket: a bath towel for a bed, and our throw for a blanket
I just squealed and cried and whined a little when I saw that. My husband is rolling his eyes. I want to hold that and love that little sweet kitten forever and ever please please please.Good Night!
Why I Am A Politically Liberal Christian
A family member believes that I have turned my back on God because I am a liberal.
I’ve been thinking about how best to explain to this person, whom I love very much, that my liberalness is a direct result of my Christian faith.
This is the best I’ve come up with so far:
I believe that the primary message of the New Testament is God’s love for humankind, as evidenced by Jesus Christ. However, when I look at the Old Testament and the New Testament combined, I see a single repeated theme: Your responsibility as a believer is to care for “the alien, the fatherless, and the widow.”
In the Old Testament, those three groups would have one specific thing in common: they would have been poor. Powerless. Without authority or the ability to change their social status.
My job as a believer in Christ is to care for the poor.
Evangelical Christians told me growing up that it is my job to vote according to my religious beliefs. Well, I’m doing that. I vote for the political party that I believe has fiscal and social policies that will best protect and care for people who are in poverty. It is my responsibility to work to elect government officials who will prioritize the poor before the rich.
It is as simple as that.
Other “big ticket” issues for evangelical Christians are just not relevant to the discussion of why I am a politically liberal Christian.
The Bible says take care of the poor.
In order to take care of the poor, I vote for liberals.
That’s it.
Insidious?
Today my students tried to tell me that Insidious is the scariest movie ever made, I don’t believe them, so I am watching it right now.
You fail at everything.
The other day while talking about our shitty media writing prof and the totally unfair grade she gave me I said, “This aggression will not stand, man” in my best Dude voice and two of my classmates looked at each other and exchanged WTF faces.
No, no, I give you a WTF face for WTF facing me for quoting the Dude.
I teach freshman composition. I have 80 students. When I asked them on the first day of class how many had seen the Big Lebowski, ONLY FOUR OF THEM HAD SEEN THE MOVIE.
