Kiss of Judas. Napoleon Abueva, 1955. Filipino.
This one lives in my head rent-free. This is such an accurate simplification of literally, so many of these Kiss of Judas paintings. It made me laugh in shock the first time I saw it. Abueva, you are so right.
unfortunately, “it’s complicated” continues to be the correct answer to most questions worth asking. yeah I’m annoyed about it too
Favorite literary technique in the Bible?
repetition, not necessarily parallelism though. a prophet splits a river, his fellow prophet splits a river. a form is severed into twelve pieces here, and here, and here. a king is refused, a king is refused, a king is refused (repeat until assyria ends kinghood)
mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.
East coast counties are so small because they were made so nobody in the county had to ride a horse for more than a day to get to do government business.
Midwest counties are often square because of the homesteading act. Everything was cut into square pieces of land for a while to make it easier to distribute.
Western counties are just big. Nobody in there. Had to draw lines somewhere. Trains exist now they’ll figure it out

naw. i think the monkey part of my brain just thinks that trees are Safe. besides god would have needed to climb up the tree if he wanted to smite me, which would’ve opened him up to getting kicked in the head. if the romans could kill him for three days with t-posing im pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to make it up my tree, which would’ve turned the whole thing into a siege, and i can say right now there’s a 0% chance of god being able to out-wait an autistic kid in a tree. he’s gonna get called away on some godly task in an thirty minutes tops but that kid has nowhere to go until lunch. easy win.
I can't debate this logic it's pretty sound
