Pope Francis has died.
I know to a lot of people on the left and in the LGBTQ+ community, he wasn’t exactly seen as a holy herald of progressive values. That said I think he was more helpful to our community than we have ever really given credit.
The Catholic Church is hugely entrenched in the past. They may not ever accept gay marriage within our lifetime. But if you compare Pope Francis to any other Pope that came before him, he did more to progress the Catholic Church than anyone else ever has. He constantly spoke out saying that the church needed to accept LGBTQ+ members. He has denounced laws that criminalise homosexuality. He supported same sex civil unions—which I was literally taught was evil and dangerous when I was in Catholic high school. Transgender people can be baptized and same sex couples can be blessed because of him.
He was never enough, of course. He has affirmed the teaching that gay marriage is not spiritually possible and prior to becoming pope he opposed the legalization of same sex marriage. He has said gay children should seek psychiatric care. He has also been even less accepting of transgender people than same sex couples.
But at the same time he was the most empathetic Pope to have existed in the past several hundred years. I have left the church because I no longer believe in God, but I do recognize that the Catholic Church has power over huge swaths of the world. My mother still believes in her Catholic faith and has always stood by this idea: it’s impossible to move a behemoth organisation like the Church overnight. She stays in the community because she wants it to become better. She pushes, in her own small way, a little bit every day towards what she thinks is right. In this conversation, that is the acceptance of LGBTQ+ youths. Pope Francis was helpful in moving the Church away from a stance of hate. Now I hope that whoever the cardinals choose next for pope is someone who joins her in pushing that ball forward.
dead
The pope wasn't perfect but he was the reformer we needed (queer people, palestine, the environment, refugees and migrants, the poor and the homeless, probably even more) and if the church swings hard right then we are all SO COOKED
The Catholic Church is at a crossroad now.
They can elect a new pope that is even more progressive than Francis, making the church's future more closely aligned with society at large and what most Catholics actually believe.
Or they can elect a pope that is more conservative and lean into the "traditional" Catholics who make up a large part of the far-right movements throughout the world.
CRYING OVER DICK.
this is actually so cute
YOU hate JK Rowling!

For anyone who hasn't already, in lieu of the Great Pixilating, go to your Settings> Account Settings> Content You See and make sure you're shit is set so that mature content isn't blurred, like this:
Mine apparently got re-set at some point, so I had to go in and switch things on and off again, myself.
(Unless, of course, you purposely have things set up to block/blur mature content, obviously then this message isn't for you)

the first rules of being pretentious and a hater in an honorable way is to not take yourself too seriously and acknowledge that you're being a little antisocial. if you become self-righteous about your correct attitudes and opinions on things that dont matter then you have become the very cringe you have sworn to fight
i think it would be kinda fun to do a watch thru of every 'launching point' godzilla movie (as in, each film that's been presented as a titular introduction to a specific era or series. yes including both american versions). it would be a fun way to get a feel for how each iteration of the franchise has shifted.
you don't understand

i love the phrase "which could mean nothing" i think its my favorite thing to come out of the internet ever i love saying it. it could mean nothing but we all know better. we know the truth.
Reblog if, no matter the size of the role, you would agree to work with the Muppets if offered the chance to do so, no questions asked
biggest reason i make so many flop posts on here is because everything i do reeks of the desperation to make a popular tumblr post. this is deliberate, because it is what protects me from ACTUALLY making a popular tumblr post. so long as i crave it, tumblr fame will never find me. it is only when i turn away, and accept my fate of obscurity, that people will lay their eyes upon me. and it WILL be because i tripped and fell on my stupid face while i was turning
learning a lot
Possible fates of Tumblr
Best Case Scenario: Someone buys the site, gets rid of the phobes, reverses the porn ban
Good Case Scenario: Nothing changes. Current owners keep the site, doesn’t get better, doesn’t get worse
Bad Case Scenario: Elon or Zuckerberg buys the site and all that entails
Worst Case Scenario: The site goes under, deleted permanently
I can never leave Tumblr because after years of sporadic therapy utterly failed to even approach the core of my problem some random tumblr user was like “I processed my trauma by writing a 10,000 word work of filthy fanfic erotica” and I was like “fuck it I’ve tried everything else” and now I’m 17 chapters and 20,000 words deep into an unpublishable work of obscenity and after careful literary analysis with one of the Beloved Mutuals I have come to some Terrible Revelations about my childhood and may now continue the process of Healing. Where else am I supposed to get this kind of experience. Who does this. Why are we like this. I’m never leaving. I love y’all.
