things that are less exciting: still having the "turn-the-dissertation-into-a-book" item on my to-do list

see i think the original netflix run of Daredevil did a great job which is why im so annoyed at the reboot
iβm still not sure the writers for Daredevil Born Again really get his character if theyβre gonna just completely leave aside his catholicism. like itβs a core part of the character ?? weβve gone four episodes and have yet to see the inside of a church π
if youβre a religion nerd and a daredevil nerd and have watched the new season stuff please slide into my DMs i need to yell
Cool event for the comics nerds happening next week !
i donβt find the βi work 80+ hours a weekβ rhetoric to be impressive, awe-inspiring, or positive in any way (in any field). my first thought when i see these types of comments is more like βoh how sad, i wish that was not the case for you, may you get rest soon.β
the duality of my life is watching the usa/canada hockey game while also listening to a queer studies in religion keynote talk
I have this same issue with the glacial pace at which hockey twitter is moving over
i am quite positive a circle of hell is having to read the earliest diss chapters you wrote.

A I age showing a typical collection bucket for the salvation army which is read with a lid holding mechanism on a tripod holder. There is a big stop/do not symbol over the hand depositing money with the words "we don't donate to the Bigot bucket" over the bottom bucket section
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

That turned into an interview, and now, into a video for Religion for Breakfast.
