As an Art Historian and Catholic Theologian who purposefully taught this artwork to my undergrad Art Survey course, Ursula is SPOT ON and ALSO it is part of a history of Jesus and gross stuff related artwork and people need to stop being mean to piss Christ.

this is why you shouldnt believe what you see on the internet. It was actually closer to 50 years. His name was Porphyrios, he actually caused the creation of entirely new trading routes just to avoid him and was declared enemy of the state by Justinian. He is the hero we need.

An open letter to Senator Hickenlooper: I was at your Town Hall on Monday And I'm scared. I'm so scared. I'm scared for myself, a trans individual. I'm scared for my friend and coworker who just passed her citizenship test.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Asitsin was scared at first, but then he found the blood. He created a night-sight spell, grabbed the first aid kit and headed down. The Creature's winged appendages prevented it from helping itself, but Asitsin knew what to do. The glass splinter gone and now he has a new housemate.
