Aha having an almost panic attack is great but ya want to know what’s better? Having an almost panic attack in-front of your favorite teacher and having to play it cool because you don’t feel like spilling your trama 😃👍
I think many people need clarification on the catholic religion's stance on the LGBTQ+ community and I'm going to give it to you.
Firstly I have seen a lot of people talk about how the text was mixed up and the words were actually mistranslated, now I don't know if this is true, but for argument's sake, we are going to pretend that it was not. But even if that wasn't true people (read: mostly Catholics) are misinterpreting what it says so here.
so, in the bible, it says that a man can not have sex with a man. now let's look at this. It does not say a man can not be in a relationship with another man, and it says nothing about female x female relationships or any other LGBTQ+.
Also, we as Catholics are not supposed to judge others for their choices or actions so whenever you call someone out for being gay and being like "you're going to hell!" your sining -_-.
AND if you're going to call out other people for being gay because it's a "sin," then start calling out people for every other sin. I mean divorce, cursing, sex before marriage, racism, harassment, hatred in general.
In conclusion, if you call out people for being gay, it ain't because you're a catholic, it's because you're a homophobic asshole.
what the heck did I make?
Lmao what if I babysat by new neighbors children and accidentally killed them because they where annoying haha just joking, unless...

God okay I'm just. So fucking tired. So here's a list of resources to educate yourself on issues within Star Wars. In light of the Bad Batch Finale and the announcement of the second season, it's vital that you educate yourself about the racism and other issues present.
And if for some reason, you think I'm overreacting; for some reason, you think I'm sensitive; for some reason, your first instinct is to get defensive and lash out; you really need to do some thinking as to why you want to scream at POC who just want the right to be recognized and seen. Who just want the right to not be erased.
And if you think this is "not good enough" because they're "just blog posts" or whatever - don't bullshit me. Even if I posted a shit ton of scholarly articles you wouldn't have read them anyway if you're coming at me with excuses for why you think the discrimination is okay. These posts are accessible, and well-written, and straight from the lived experiences of the many minorities and the allies that want to amplify their voices. I'm not asking you to take everything at face value. I'm asking you to do your own research and engage in some critical thinking instead of blindly accepting what you're given.
*Disclaimer: while I have read these sources, i read some a while ago and if there's an issue you have with some of them let me know!
(If your post is listed and you want me to take it off the list please dm me and let me know!)

What I've listed above is only a single drop in a massive ocean. There are so, so many other minority groups who are also suffering that I haven't listed. I haven't even touched on homophobia, on transphobia, and I've barely touched on ableism, not to mention that there's so many other issues out there. I haven't talked about the issues with how the Tuskens are portrayed, or how Watto is portrayed, or how Jar Jar Binks was portrayed, or how Kelly Marie Tran was treated, or how Trace and Rafa Martez were treated, or how the fandom hates Mace Windu, or how Poe's backstory was butchered, or much, much more. If you have more resources, please please please share them in the reblogs. It is impossible to encompass everything in a single post, but we sure as hell can try.
Alright. I've given you the resources. I've given you my time and energy. It's up to you now to educate yourself. It's ok to make mistakes - we're constantly learning and unlearning. It's ok to need to take breaks, and to save this for later because you're tired and the world is going to shit. We are human.
One more tip: when reblogging or sharing your own resources, flood your tags with everything to do with Star Wars. Flood the Crosshair tag. Flood the Hunter and Omega tag. Flood the tags, because this is relevant to their characters and to the entire saga, and fans need to know.
Including tags of the people I posted resources from under the cut!

So I saw this dress on @ahsokalegend‘s page, saying it was for her Foxiyo fic called My Guardian angel (witch by the way you should definitely check out cause it’s awesome) and me and my one braincell were like “I need to see her in the actual dress” and this is what came from that. She was really fun to draw, and I’m feeling nice so if anyone wanna use this for whatever you can without my permission. (unless you plan to take credit, then don’t cause that’s just mean)
