May we all find as much joy in this life as this monk gets from drinking his goofy juice out of a gord.

Opus Dei's dark money ties are global

here's a review of a book that came out about it last fall from America Magazine (the national Jesuit publication) that gives a bit of a primer on their banking fuckery

Review: Opus Dei, inside and out

In 'Opus," Gareth Gore examines many seminal moments in the history of the controversial Catholic group Opus Dei, arguing that its secretive ways have allowed it to cover up serious scandals.

The great Angela Lansbury would have turned 100 today.

Of “Sweeney Todd”, she said: “I just ran with it. The wide-openness of my portrayal had to do with my sink-or-swim attitude toward it. I just figured, hell, I’ve done everything else on Broadway, I might as well go with Mrs. Lovett.”

a tarot like illustration of Zevran Arainai from Dragon Age Origins surrounded by crows. he's doing the hush hush gesture and is probably headed for the window, because when was the last time he used door anyway

he has a golden halo and a golden dagger which has a golden halo of its own

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Yeaaaah. 🫠 The video does discuss Tidal and some of the shit they've pulled, as well as their lack of transparency.

My personal interest is in better compensation for the artists, and Qobuz looks to be it, at least for me.

Not to mention, ban ‘cashless’ brick and mortar stores. Not everyone has tap-to-pay and last I checked, physical money is still LEGAL TENDER and businesses should have no grounds to reject customers paying with hard cash.

Note that Tidal is owned by Jack Dorsey. 😬

Here's a video that lists some alternatives, with Qobuz being the top runner, and you can migrate your playlists. This is the first in a series with streaming alternatives (free and paid) and includes things like audiobooks.

“Feathers grow a little different on some crows.” The Crow Time crow stands on a log and looks down at a smaller rounder crow with rainbow chest feathers perched on a branch. The smaller crow’s eyes sparkle in trans colors.

“And if anyone has a problem with that…” the Crow Time Crow menaces, posing with a red handled kitchen knife in their beak. The little crow is still perched on the stick, but now cheekily brandishes a small dagger with progress pride color facets on the handle.

We want all international travelers who use a passport with an “X” gender marker to know that your identity doc is still legal & valid.

If you run into issues while traveling, please report your experience to Lambda Legal’s Help Desk: lambdalegal.org/helpdesk/

IMPORTANT UPDATE RE: PASSPORTS WITH “X” GENDER MARKER

Lambda Legal wants all international travelers who use a passport with an “X” gender marker to know that your identity document is still legal and valid.

A new U.S. Customs and Border Protection policy is now in effect. Some airline booking systems may not accept an “X” gender marker for international travel and instead might require “M” or “F”.

Your passport with an “X” gender marker is still legal and valid. This change affects airline data systems, not your legal documents or your right to travel.

The design in question doesn't contain most of what the claim states but it doesn't matter because no human was involved in any part of this process. Etsy keeps insisting that I stole the artwork (and yet remains doing nothing about dropshippers ACTUALLY stealing artwork lmao)
