One thing that is certain though is I will not spend my precious time trying to figure out which category any particular person with toxic and hateful beliefs happens fall into.

I believe you can politely argue SOME people out of their toxic and hateful beliefs. However, I also believe there are some people you will NEVER politely argue out of their toxic and hateful beliefs.

You know you're getting older when you feel like you need a nap after bringing groceries into the house.

"The true test of a spirituality is how does it impact people who are not members of that group, will never be members of that group, are members of a different group...."

-- Pastor Josh Scott, Gracepointe Church in Nashville TN. Quoted from "Community," the sermon given on 10/12/2025.

My attempt at humor for #NationalComingOutDay back in 2011.

If I was making this video today, I'd drop a few of the jokes since i realize they're problematic now. But I still appreciate my old attempt at being funny.

Ah, fair enough.

Jarred The Wyrd-Worker @jarredh.bsky.social · 5d

Okay, why frogs? I mean, I love it. But I feel like there's possibly some deeper meaning or context behind it that I'm missing.

Granted, I suppose this assume you observe Álfablót and Dísablót at all. 🙃 If you don't, share that and why as well.

Question for other Heathens: Álfablót and Dísablót seem mostly set up for the gender binary. How/when do you honor ancestors that don't fit the gender binary?

At Álfablót?
At Dísablót?
At both? (Double Honor for enbies!)
Some other way/at some other time?

Nice! Thank you for sharing!

Ah, as I said, sometimes rude is the appropriate response. This is a fine example.

And I found the setting. Thanks for the help.

I'll have to figure out how to do that.

Also, I doubt @postingtreyf.bsky.social was actually being rude. But even if she was, rude isn't always wrong.

Churches should start passing out rapture punch tickets.

"Survive nine failed rapture predictions, get the tenth one free!"

In honor of coming upon yet another rapture prediction.

Don't want to help clean up the mess you contributed to?

PRAY FOR THE RAPTURE!

Happy Thunar's day. In honor of that, hug your local union rep. (But only if they consent first!)

So I decided "fuck it" and said my own prayer after he finished. Let's just say my prayer ended with the phrase "Hail Freyr!" 😄

I had a weird dream this evening. I dreamed that I was at a family function and someone asked me to say the blessing for the food. Before I could, someone else (a particularly nasty Christian Nationalist in the family) started praying instead.

I've met so many assholes, I feel like I should be a proctologist.

I found this gem in my Facebook memories.

If you have an opinion about my life, please raise your hand.

Now put it over your mouth.

Seemed like a reasonable answer to me.

Q: How real is voodoo and witchcraft?

A: As real as transubstantiation and the prosperity gospel.
