That year was a real shitshow personally, spent half of it in jammies because I was so sick. No reason to think this year will be better but nonetheless I will trudge ahead with grim determination nevertheless. If the world sucks and life is suffering then every day we endure is a victory over creation.

Happy New Year!!

One of the few good things to come out of tumblr was the phrase "Canon Jesus is better than fandom Jesus."

There are a ton of church christians who are the exact kind of people who if Jesus came back today, he'd be flipping tables and beating them with a whip.
