kinda neat how arabians originally probably came in large part from natufians. so the palestinians and hashemite jordanians can say that even if (at least some of) their ancestors were in arabia for thousands of years, they began in the Levant (after Africa obvi). however this was practically prehistoric. honestly if you go far back enough pretty much every claim to roots in a place winds up leading to some other place. this is especially true for the near east, fertile crescent, and mediterrainian. I think what matters more than anything is whether your culture is indigenous and unique to a place and not found other places, whether you first became the group you consider yourself to be there, and whether you regard the land as very important to your being. while it could be said that indigenous Hawaiians were somewhat recently Polynesians, they have a unique culture to Hawaii, became Hawaiians in Hawaii, and revere their land, so it doesnt matter. existence precedes essence here and everywhere, a group can use genetic studies all they want but if they dont have a significant common experience of standing out at least somewhat from other groups due to their particularities and also of remembering shared treasured stories of their people and land, what's the point?

incredibly vivid dream with sound and touch of my dead cat where my room was almost identical but I saw no mess and light streamed through the window I saw sammy in after he left instead of me having a blackout curtain thats been there since my last hospitalization. seems like a very good omen

your oomph keeps getting tummy aches

acid rain. base rain. cringe rain.

sue me for expecting my favorite yoghurts formula to be consistent.

this is important but i want to note it applies to legally adult transitioners, not kids. kids often do desist naturally with puberty and thats okay.

they changed the activia formula in the last 18 years. what the fuck smh

this is very christ pilled

I dont like trinitarianism but its very rooted in the bible. this shit isnt lol

when I post or text I type all in lowercase except when referring to God

such a beautiful dream of the Devi/Adi Shakti/Kundalini. lovely!!

hilarious that the US government hated catholics and peasants so much that we supported the calles government despite us being all about freedom of religion allegedly

I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep. #getfedihired #mutualaid #finance #gaming

dog begging for red pepper jelly on a cracker

I just realized that "jellyfish jam" is a god-tier pun what the FUCK

"conquest" has a very different ring than "invasion", doesnt it?

this shit is crazy

now this one i really like. i disagree with it in ways as im not a christian but I cant deny its beauty in how it frames existing christian thought. his sermons must be incredible.

I believe that predestination exists for particularly special and holy events. the unfolding of new yugas, the descent of avataras, the divulging of scripture. karma explains much of the story but many people are just blessed beyond their karma, and unlike karma which was caused by them great blessing is always directly from God, and thus could be said to be predestined.
