I’m so pumped for the upcoming Moonstar series. I did a quick test to try my Hellfire Vigil look for her turned into an action costume.

Joshua Kimmich says that Arsenal are not the best side Bayern Munich have faced this year, claiming the Germans’ 3-1 Champions League defeat was not a “football game.”

Honestly, we need more East Asian-style accountability over here in the US
Something my American brain cannot comprehend is a tragedy like this occurring and almost immediately the CEO's responsible are arrested.

I feel angry about the all hostile narratives propagated against immigrants. It's socially hard for an ethnic minority woman to express anger but nevertheless I feel I must. Anger is the appropriate emotion here with such gross unfairness & public harm. Let's give eachother permission to express it.

Christian colonizers famously never produced piles of dead children in the name of their God.
![[screenshot from 'The American Conservative' with some text highlighted]
Whatever good was present at the Ossossané ossuary—where those who had not yet encountered the fullness of Truth honored their dead as best they knew how—is increased a thousandfold in the cemeteries of the residential schools, where baptized Christians were given Christian burials. Whatever natural good was present in the piety and community of the pagan past is an infinitesimal fraction of the grace rendered unto those pagans’ descendants who have been received into the Church of Christ. [begin highlight] Whatever sacrifices were exacted in pursuit of that grace—the suffocation of a noble pagan culture; an increase in disease and bodily death due to government negligence; even the sundering of natural families—is WORTH IT. [end highlight]
It must be, else two millennia of Christian civilization, in which oceans have been bridged, wars waged, continents conquered, and the lives of a million Jean de Brébeufs given in service to the Lord’s final commandment—Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.—all has been for nought.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7soh2zyx7vqj37ngempaec4d/bafkreicaasekhxx7uemusqy5iognhjfh7y6grptdkyctpdp5x5f42p5m4y@jpeg)

There’s a reason Caesar was forbidden to cross the Rubicon and return to Rome with his army. It’s what separates a relatively free society from a fascist one.

Arsenal scored 2 goals from open play and 1 goal from a set piece. Bayern's 1 goal was a long ball over the top, and they were completely outplayed in the second half. Cry harder, Kimmich!
