I dont know how I feel about the existence of a subsidiary primary creator deity of each individual universe like brahma is said to be. I'm inclined to reject it out of monotheism while accepting that devas and progenitors (prajapatis, not to be confused with brahma who is also called prajapati or the vedic prajapati) can be creative in a smaller sense, but it does help explain evil in the world if the primary creator was a flawed being subject to maya. its kinda weird how in the hindu trinity (which I take with a grain of salt as a systemized thing also) sustainer/preserver and destroyer/transformer are both regarded as Supreme and timeless in their own right, but not the creator hiranyagharba who has his 100 "years". idk, even if there is a brahma who is firstborn and highest of all created beings (though hes called self-created in a sense in early texts), he is taught to create by the Supreme Lord who is also his soul and whos will presides over his and every other action.

I'm feeling a lot better for partly fucked up reasons. because I lost a friendship I can finally stop grieving it being a source of stress and heartbreak for the last two years, and can also (with proper cognitive dissonance) more easily imagine it will be better again than I could when all I had to go by was its own languishing existence.

the khazar myth is edgy but if you want to insult ashkenazi jews by saying were not "tru israelites" while remaining accurate, dont call us slavs or turks, call us romans. its much more accurate, were like half descended from southern italian converts, also it names us after our enemies.

so disappointed by fucking activia

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

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
