Dive Deep into Creativity: Your Ultimate Tumblr Experience Awaits

Turning conventional restrooms into coed bathrooms is not a sin against the Christian God. And, assuming that there will be men who just say they identify as women merely to get inside a woman's bathroom is ridiculous, and that devalues the experience of those who actually identify unconventionally.
Maybe instead of putting so much emphasis on only two genders, male and female, we instead reinterpret our core beliefs to embrace masculine and feminine energy, and souls, as opposed to male and female bodies.
Maybe it's time to address why traditional Christians are so overly obsessed with sex and gender and purity. As well as why traditional Christians are overly obsessed with sin, and do not give notice to the essence of connection and love that can bring humanity together for the greater good as a whole as opposed to an "us vs them" mentality of the "haves and have nots," the straight and the unconventional; the dualism that has oversaturated the minds of traditional Christians to the point that they can't even accept that there has always been more than two genders, Middlesex people and eunuchs, and other outcasts that have been in our societies as long as humans have been around.
Maybe we ask ourselves why we believe what we believe, why are we not open to expanding our beliefs outside of the traditional walls we've been raised in? Why is it so hard for us to understand that people are people, and it's been those who are judgmental that have excluded outcasts such as LGBTQ+ & gender non-conforming people. Is being a beloved child of God an exclusive opportunity reserved only for those who are perfect in Christ? Newsflash, no human is perfect, we all have cast stones at others to move the spotlight off of our own missed marks and insecurities. We project all over each other all the time.
If you're a traditional Christian, I challenge you to challenge your beliefs. Ask yourself why you believe what you do, without referencing something you've been told or heard someone else say. When that happens and you can legitimately defend your stances on traditional Christianity, I'd love to have a conversation about hot topics such as trans rights, LGBTQ+ rights, equity and equality of BIPOC and Native Americans, and all marginalized groups. I'd like to talk about socialism versus capitalism and the influence of religion on our politics. We need to be having conversations with people we do not agree with, and not only that, we all need to be open to learning something uncomfortable, challenging to our own beliefs, and have the ability to open our minds to other cultures and ways of life. Just a thought
“Superstition is a part of the very being of humanity; and when we fancy that we are banishing it altogether, it takes refuge in the strangest nooks and corners, and then suddenly comes forth again, as soon as it believes itself at all safe.”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Maxims and Reflections
What Do You Believe In?
I never really knew if the earth went around the moon or the sun around the earth, but I still went to church when you asked me to. I still held hands and prayed with you even though I had questions about your prayers and your God and your Heaven and the stares I used to see your momma give to the Reverend when he sang hallelujah. But I never questioned your truth. I admired you for the fact that you could believe in something so blindly without ever needing proof, and that was enough to make me believe in us. I believed in love.
They say God is love so I thought my love was your truth, and I made sure I loved you exactly how you asked me to. On Sunday mornings at 8:00 am so we could get an early start on repentance for the sins we committed the night before. I was never sure what you prayed for, but I went through the motions with you even though all my prayers were ignored. I prayed for us.
I even turned my back on my own Catholic Jesus to pray to yours, despite the fact he and I still had some unresolved issues between us.
You shunned my philosophy. I held your hand as we believed in all your contradictions and hypocrisy.
You prayed for everything but us. You believed in everything but me.
I never had a religion, but I believed in you and you let me down. So what do I believe in now?
Radicalisation, Hate, and the Great Die Out.
I didn’t write for a while, it is hard work using my brain to the extent that I do so time off is necessary, as any hyper vigilant person may already know... and for the record, I am playing with this “great die out” in the title. You should know that I classify those using phrases like “the great reset, the great bla bla, etc” as radicalised people.
I want to write about our ongoing, and in my view, dangerous journey that is deepening into the world of single mindedness.
By single mindedness, what I mean is the one track, intolerant, anti diversity that our brains appear to be being trained into, by what often traces back to source as social media.
It doesn't only track back to social media, it also tracks back to certain public speakers, those of which who rightly so, hold their own beliefs and value set in the world, but instead of keeping those various laundries at home on the drying rail amongst friends and family sharing a cup of tea and a biscuit, they are taken out in front of great audiences both in person and online, with the intention of letting people know that their view is the only one that matters.
The problem with that is where some people in the audience have a tendency towards hate, and in many ways would like to act out that hate as a form of completion in their lives to please a specific person, being, or god. They really just want to please themselves.
Beliefs of people are one thing, but when they are pushed upon others as the “right” way above others personal will, then what we are dealing with is a person who wants to radicalise others into their own ideas about how life is to be lived.
Most of the obvious people who do this in the public eye are acting under the guise of religion. They are permitted to be there because they tout the religion as the reasoning behind their thinking, but looking at them all it is easy to see they are simply incredibly old fashioned. They, powerless in a rapidly changed, and still changing world, are struggling to grasp with the realities that they now find themselves in and perhaps have deep, survival based needs to make the modern world that they now find themselves in even more evil than it ever has been.. even though we come from a time where the iron age was probably as gruesome as it gets, and open incest is catalogued in their written histories.
Despite all of our efforts to be beautiful in the world, inclusive and if we like, engaging in of all of our individual, creative worlds, hate will preside both in the overground and the underground, but at least in one projection I can see high potential for the old fashioned overground to simply die out as the arrow of time continues to direct us all ever onward, and onward’s :)
Public speakers who preach hate trickle down their one track ideas to the next generations, but the beauty is that each generation waters it down before the hate it becomes nothing, non existent.
May you all be beautifully blessed, and sending extra massive love to the trans community and all those creating with genders, non genders, roles, and identities right now.
""There is a saying,'What got you here won't get you there.'" "What does it mean?" I ask "That the same set of circumstances, beliefs, actions that got you to a moment won't get you to what comes next. If you want a different outcome, you have to behave differently. That you have to keep evolving."" - Rebecca Serle, One Italian Summer
Opinion on "ignorance is bliss"?
It’s the cowards creed, an irrational sentiment harnessed by those succumbing to the traumatic insecurity that lies in relinquishing deceptive childhood fantasy’s; so they opt instead for a kind of optimistic denial that demonizes knowledge as a defense mechanism to remain complacent in their delusions.
The fate of these individuals then, lies in the will of those brave enough to endure the tribulations of educating and empowering themselves. At best, these individuals are destined to live as parasites; at worst, they will have their ignorance utilized by ambitious deceivers to enslave or destroy them.
As I read through this book, I am confronted over and over again with my mistaken understandings of terms and with how I do not really know myself.
I have adopted beliefs about myself from outside sources and ascribed that those are who I am. I haven't ever really taken time to get to know me because I thought others would know me better. I know it is not too late in my life for me to figure myself out and learn about myself... so I think I will.
October will be a month about myself (and my marriage). I'll be offline during October and whatever posts will be what is left in my queue. If anyone wants to keep in touch through October, please privately message me so we can exchange Discord information.
Blessings to you guys. All my love.

A person’s actions may be a result of careful thinking;
they may be a wim based on precursor principles and ideas,
although they might just as well be without a meaning.
A shell.Or not?
A wall.Or not?
Ensuring the groundwork behind every action should be the first priority.
None can be commenced whenever it is missing the meaning that should be conveyed.
However fundamental I regard this notion to be,not many do so nowadays.
Therefore I am left wandering about whether the meaning I see is real or made-up by my own beliefs,thoughts and needs.
Humans can be rather imaginative when it comes to deciphering the smallest of actions.
Nothing is almost ever delivered in its integrity,
May it be for fear of giving away the true meaning and reason they formed in their minds;
Or for a specifically intended reason,which,for all intents and purposes,is intangible.
in the softness of your voice, telling me that everything is going to be okay.
I belived, in the way your eyes sparkled when I smiled and hugged back.
I believed, that day on our porch, in the love that we shared.
And after so many more such beliefs, here I stand beside your grave. Not knowing what to do or where to go.
I believed you when you said we had an eternity.
We didn't.
You lied.
And I believed.
I believed
AUSTRALIA ABORIGINAL PICTOGRAPHS WORLD HERITAGE ROCK ART WANDJINA ART found throughout the Kimberley. Strange are these heads with short, narrow nose, so different from aboriginal faces, a sort of helmet on the head, a sort of glasses. They haven't lips, because according to the Mowanjum tribe, the Wandjinas didn't speak. It reminds me of "Memories of the Future. Unsolved Mysteries of the Past" by Ernest von Daniken. The book suggests that some ancient artworks throughout the world could be interpreted as depicting astronauts. Harald Reini made a documentary movie of 1h30 based on the theory developed in the book of Daniken. This documentary film was presented for the Oscars en 1970. #landscape #indigenous Australians #aborigines #dreamtime #australia #harald Reini #ernest von Daniken #kimberley #aboriginal pictographs #rock art #pictographs #national parks #world heritage list #dreamtimel #myths #beliefs #wandjina #art #history of civilizations #gods #mowanjum tribe https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRvkIrgE0zfQd1_GJjHIbIyARbeF8c7fSPjdo0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7omw1uf9itf9
Dating with purpose?
When you are young and pretty, there are things like "Seeking Arrangements" and more than a few other options online and off to get whatever it is you're after. But, what about when you're older, not so pretty, and no longer trying to pay for school? Are there rich folks out there, looking for old, chonky, and broke... but funny, curious, and not "dead" yet? Are there also dating? sites for that sort of connection? Seems to me everyone wants a pretty face or some sort of impressive resume but what about the folks still trying to find happy, without the good looks, or impressive "goals"? Are they stuck dealing with whatever they can find at the local bingo hall?
hahahaha Random curious thoughts.... heh.
Breaking Free: How Societal Stereotypes Limit Young Women and How to Reframe Those Beliefs
Let's talk about something real: societal stereotypes. From a young age, women are constantly told throughout our lives about who we're supposed to be. We're supposed to be quiet, agreeable, nurturing, and perfect. These stereotypes not only shape how others see us, but they also shape how we see ourselves. These stereotypes can create fixed mindset beliefs that limit our sense of identity and potential.
Think about it:
“I’m not good at math or science.”
“I shouldn’t be too ambitious or assertive.”
“I need to prioritize being liked over being heard.”
Sound familiar? These beliefs aren’t just harmless thoughts. They’re barriers. They tell us what we can’t do, who we shouldn’t be, and where we don’t belong. But here’s the truth: you are not defined by stereotypes.
How Stereotypes Create Limiting Beliefs
Internalization: We absorb societal expectations and start believing they’re true.
Fear of Failure: Stereotypes make us afraid to step outside the box, so we avoid risks.
Imposter Syndrome: We doubt our abilities, feeling like we don’t deserve success.
How to Break Free and Reframe Those Beliefs
Challenge the Narrative
Ask yourself: Who told me I can’t? Why do I believe that?
Replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones: “I am capable of learning and growing in any field I choose.”
Embrace a Growth Mindset
Believe that your abilities aren’t fixed. You can develop skills, overcome challenges, and redefine your identity.
Celebrate effort, not just results. Progress is progress, no matter how small. Even if it's 1%, it still counts towards the 100%.
Surround Yourself with Support
Find mentors, friends, and communities that uplift and inspire you. You can join communities on Tumblr or search for Discord servers you align with.
Share your goals and struggles with people who believe in your potential.
Redefine Success on Your Terms
Success doesn’t have to look like what society says it should. What matters is what you value. This is your life after all.
Do not be scared to take up space. Be bold. Be unapologetically yourself. Live in your authenticity. It is what makes you you.
Take Action, Even When It’s Scary
Start small. Apply for that opportunity, speak up in that meeting, or try something new.
Remember: Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s acting despite it.
You Are More Than a Stereotype
Your potential is limitless, but it’s up to you to claim it. Reframe those beliefs, challenge the status quo, and step into the person you’re meant to be. The world needs your voice, your ideas, and your brilliance. Don’t let anyone (including yourself) tell you otherwise.
Homework time!📝
What’s one limiting belief you’re ready to let go of? Let’s cheer each other on in the comments! ✨
All that I know about me is that I exist. To me I've always existed and the fact one day I won't exist anymore terrifies me.
