Also hate how parents wanting to keep their kids away from microplastics and the god awful crazy over processed foods and ipads are labelled as “crunchy” now as a way to shame them.
Capitalism has normalized junk foods, algorithms and constantly Being “Productive” so much than people wanting to steer future generations from the addictive brain rot we’ve been given is something shameful.
The way everyday people do capitalism’s job for it is terrifying.
I want my children to grow up running barefoot through the woods, playing in mud and grass. I want them to taste wild berries and organic vegetables long before the taste of chocolate. They won’t know what an ipad is; and they will be happy.
“And I have a son, and I don’t know what I would look like if I lost him. But I do know that if I had the opportunity to save him I would do anything. I would do anything to save him. So people have asked me, why would Joel do that when he could have saved the world, and my answer to them is always this — he did, he did save the world. It’s just that the world was that girl, and that’s it.” - Troy Baker
Saint Longinus the Centurion Died: 1st century Feast Day: October 16 (new) March 15 (trad.) Patronage: the blind and those with poor eyesight, for discernment, Mantua
Saint Longinus was the centurion that pierced the side of Jesus at the Crucifixion. He was losing his eyesight at the time and when Christ’s blood fell into his eyes his sight was restored. He then said, “Indeed, this man was the Son of God.” (Mark 15:39) Subsequently, he received instructions from the apostles, converted, left the army, and became a monk. He was arrested, tortured (teeth pulled out and tongue cut out yet could still speak clearly), and martyred. His relics are in Rome and his lance is contained in one of the four pillars over the altar in the Basilica of St. Peter’s.
