A new religious statue in the town of Davidson, N.C., is unlike anything you might see in church.

The statue depicts Jesus as a vagrant sleeping on a park bench. St. Alban’s Episcopal Church installed the homeless Jesus statue on its property in the middle of an upscale neighborhood filled with well-kept townhomes.

Jesus is huddled under a blanket with his face and hands obscured; only the crucifixion wounds on his uncovered feet give him away.

The reaction was immediate. Some loved it; some didn’t.

“One woman from the neighborhood actually called police the first time she drove by,” says David Boraks, editor of DavidsonNews.net. “She thought it was an actual homeless person.”

That’s right. Somebody called the cops on Jesus.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Since you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.

“Why are you in Hell?”
“I called the cops on Jesus.”

Flood-Resistant Bamboo Housing

Designed by Vietnamese H&P Architects, these bamboo houses are designed to be affordable for rural Vietnamese families, being made from locally sourced and recycled materials. The base of these bamboo houses is made from repurposed oil drums, allowing it to float during floods, with a steel backbone to protect the building’s structure and keep them from being washed away. 

The bamboo and thatching which make the building itself are locally abundant and renewable, with the style being inspired by traditional building techniques. For sustainability, especially during crises, the houses also incorporate a rainwater harvesting system and garden walls for fresh vegetables.

To survive the tropical storm winds and torrential rain which come with the floods, the canopies and decking areas can be folded up to enclose the entire house to protect those inside, plants and all.

Kids these days who think that being a bard is just about swinging swords and playing lutes disgust me. Where’s the pizzazz? The showmanship? The seduction??

you ain’t a real bard until you seduce your way out of at least 19 situations that would normally end in combat

You’re not a real bard until you make your DM cry because you seduced the Big Bad that they’ve built up to for 10 sessions

Once a bard friend rolled a 1 for a seduction and ended up killing a girl and tried to hide the body. He was caught, rolled low on deception and they all thought he was fucking her corpse.
He then tried seducing the guards and rolled low again so all the guards had boners while arresting him and the DM had to sideline the entire game and make up a dungeon for the rest of us to get our stupid bard out of.
But we didn’t. So for like 3 nights the DM essentially ran 2 different games, one of us questing without ol’ corpsefucker and then the adventures of corpsefucker: escape from boner castle.

He seduced his way out, naturally.

A true bard

What I want to know is what type of seduction could end in the protagonist killing someone

Person A: hey why do you look so tired and have bite marks all over your neck?

Person B, who got fucked within an inch of their life the night before and is about to invent vampires: oh haven’t you heard?

#and that mans name was lord byron

You made it better

No, it was John Polidori. Byron wrecked him thoroughly the night before. Facts only.

Thank you for your correction. There can only be facts in this gothic dragging

List of artists and vendors who were robbed at comic con

rockpapercynic:

There was a recent run of thefts at comic cons in Ontario and Quebec, and I’ve gotten in touch with a lot of the amazing creative members of our community who were hit.

I’d like to encourage you to share this post and support their businesses if you have the option of doing so. Artists and creative entrepreneurs fight so hard to make a living. It would be awesome if we could make that fight a little easier after a terrible setback.

I will update this list periodically so click here to make sure you’re reading the most up-to-date version.

It’s been a rough year. This felt like the universe kicking me while I’m down. A sign I should cut losses and pick a life without 80-hour workweeks and sleeping on couches and fighting for every dollar I earn.

An old friend of mine, Rodney, held a fundraiser and raised  more than $1000 in 12 hours.

I realized the theft wasn’t personal. The community rallying behind me was personal. And generous. And beautiful.

Not everyone else who got robbed was as lucky as I was. At least 6 other booths got hit. This is the 4th or 5th con where the thieves targeted artists and vendors.

I’m donating the surplus from my friend’s fundraiser to other people who have been affected. I’m also raising funds by selling this t-shirt and putting 100% of proceeds toward other vendors who were robbed. I’m not taking any cut.

You can order a T-shirt from the fundraiser here. 

You can support their businesses directly here.

UPDATE: On request I’ve added an option to order a shirt directly from my webstore.

Gag Reel of the phone wallpapers post

@aspectofbacchus replied: This post converted me to Christianity

Good. That’s where statically classist, misogynistic, nationalist and racist views usually find their home in the modern world, sad as it is that any religion would be made into something it originally wasn’t.

@blackmetalbitch replied: What the Fuck?! Stop fagging up my religion. The Norse warriors were not a bunch of hippy queers. They slaughtered Christians and sacrificed their own to please the gods. They weren’t twinks in T-shirts. Fuck off.

Says you to a Nordic citizen born and bred in the Nordic community. All the while vikings never made any conscious effort to spread their beliefs (p. 4, “Adoption of Christianity to Scandinavia, Iceland and Finland”), and the most conventional sacrifice gifts for pagan gods were certainly not people, but horses, weapons and silver:

Man offrade till de olika gudarna beroende på vad man ville ha. Olika
djur som hästar och tjurar dödades och blodet samlades upp i skålar.
Detta var själva offret. Ibland beströk man avgudabilderna med blod.
Ibland hetsade man hingstar att slåss mot varandra till en av dem
stupade. Man offrade aldrig hästar till Frej, då man trodde att han var
särskilt förtjust i detta djur. Vikingarna
offrade också vapen till sina gudar. Svärd bröts eller böjdes och
kastades på elden. Ibland lades de också i gravhögar.

“People offered to all the different gods depending on what they wanted to get in return. Different animals, like horses and oxen were killed and the blood was gathered. That was the offer itself. Sometimes god-statues could be wetted with the blood. Sometimes people made stallions fight against each other until the other fell. Freyr was never offered horses, for people believed that he held those animals especially dear to himself. Vikings also offered weapons to their gods. Swords would be broken or bent and thrown to a fire. Sometimes they were also placed in burial mounds.”

Source for kids still learning about vikings 🙂 

@castle-engineer reblogged: “We worship paganism because it is a connection to our ancestors and honoring our heratage.” Five minutes later: “Paganism
is about what I want to be about even if it means ignoring or flat out
changing what my ancestors believed and did, and pissing all over my
heratage.”

Said heritage (you spelled it wrong buddy) being common democracy and gender equality in profession and posessions (vikings), end of slavery and serfdom (middle ages), wide and open trade (hanseatic league, viking eastern route), universal schooling (lutheran orthodoxy of 1600s), and the welfare state model with its public services funded by moderate income redistribution ie. taxes (aptly called ”the Nordic model” in social sciences).

Every nazi I piss off makes my day a little bit better.
