  • For me it would really depend on the context.

    I had an abusive mother and self-harmed, a lot. By my teenage years I was bouncing back and forth between self-harm and realizing I was not insane, my mom was an abuser, and starting to find adults and peers who would listen to me and recognize it. I also discovered I could channel my feelings through writing and art, that catharsis of expressing my feelings in a healthy was rather than just turning them back on myself.

    As an adult, is it worth noting when a young person starts expressing themselves like that; absolutely. Shit’s rough, it can get overwhelming, and a lot of young people cut their journey short intentionally or recklessly trying to deal with it. Sometimes it’s just a young person piercing the veil and figuring out the world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and venting their disillusion. Other times it’s hopelessness. As an adult I’d like to think I could figure out which it is; commiserate with a youth about the bullshit but have the wisdom to know when to know when to intervene.











  • It’s a Bible verse.

    John 20: 14-16

    At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

    He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?Who is it you are looking for?”

    Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

    Jesus said to her, “Open the fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

    She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “WTF!” (which means “what the fuck”).

    They are. Mama/dada/papa/nana or similar sounds made with the lips or tongue against the gums are near universal terms for parents across languages because that’s just easy sounds for babies to make early on. We just roll with it and adopted their “words” as the foundation of assigning meanings to a specific sound.




  • What if the idea that the Grail grants eternal life is a deliberate spin by the Church to turn it into a holy relic, when it’s true nature is that it is lich Jesus’ phylactery? From King Arthur to the Knights Templar, the quest for the Grail has been dedicated warriors seeking to eradicate his source of seeming eternal life. And it can only be destroyed with the weapon that destroyed his first corporeal form, the Spear of Destiny.

    The rabbit/hare as a fertility symbol is a pretty frequent one across a lot of cultures, kinda like solar deities with solstice holidays. The cult of Ishtar died out in the 600s, the first mention of a tradition of an egg laying hare in connection with the Christian holiday is specifically from Germany a thousand years later.

    The bunny is primarily a German tradition. It became prevalent in the US because of the high volume German immigrants. However, the bunny was already spreading throughout the Hapsburg Monarchy prior to America exporting its version. Decorating eggs is also a Slovenian tradition that came to prominence when what would be become the US was still just colonies. Not a lot of pop culture getting shipped back to Europe back then.
