I have -never- heard of a convert who wasn’t down on their luck when they started talking to the missionaries. It’s always “I was into drugs…we were going to get a divorce…my kid just died” etc etc
It’s because the missionaries prey on those that are weak or have a hard life. They sell investigators rainbows and sunshine and refrain from telling them the actual history of the church.
this post is a roller coaster, not in the way that people call wild posts “roller coasters,” but in the way that i knew something was up when i started reading the first paragraph, it was like the track slowly rising up, the wording just tipped me off, i knew there was going to be a serious drop that was going to give me whiplash, but when it arrived i still wasn’t ready for it
Twitter has prohibited misgendering and deadnaming on its platform in an effort to curtail anti-trans abuse.
The social media company has changed its rules to ban the practices and has warned that any user who deliberately targets a trans person in these ways may face permanent suspension.
These offensive techniques—which involve using the wrong gender to refer to a trans person or a trans person’s old name—are often used on Twitter to insult and erase trans people’s identities and right to exist.
One of my regular $25 patrons decided to leave their commission for this month to me.
Their last one was a Shadowrun character, so I was inspired to redraw/redesign my first Shadowrun character. She’s a cybered out Street Sam/Security Op, her name is Dallas, she’s an amnesiac, and works special missions for a small corp out of the California Free State. Her weapons of choice were a pair of Ares monofilament knives, and a PSK-3 Heavy Pistol.
honestly missionaries are evil. the idea of traveling the world to tell people Who Didnt Fucking Ask that their beliefs are wrong in the hopes that theyll adopt your beliefs seems sinister
