“You Tell Me To Be A Biblical Woman. You Tell Me To Be A Biblical So That I Might Become Silent, Complicit,

“You tell me to be a biblical woman. You tell me to be a biblical so that I might become silent, complicit, weak. Become a biblical woman. Become complacent with the authority of a man. I am a biblical woman. I am Deborah with the power to control the armies, the wisdom to prophesy. I do not tolerate the cowardice of men. I will give victory and honor where it is due: to the woman who is brave enough to stand. I am Jael. I have the blood of the enemy on my hands. I saw a victory for my people and I took it. I took with a warm glass of milk and a tent peg to his head. I am a biblical woman. I am Esther, who stood up to the men in power and saved my people. I used my beauty and my position to do what is right. I am a queen. I am Ruth, a foreigner who left everything she had for the sake of loyalty to family. I seduced the man who I knew could provide for me. I worked hard to provide for myself and for my family. I am a biblical woman. I am Bathsheba, who was taken advantage of by the king. I am more than just a bathing woman on the roof. He objectified me. He murdered my husband. And he was the one who paid the price. I am Abigail, whose wit and wisdom prevented violence. I rescued my husband from his own foolishness, and I prevented the King from acting rashly and violently. I am brilliant. I am a biblical woman. I am Rahab, the prostitute. I am Mary, the pregnant teenager. I am Junia, the female apostle. I am Dorcas, the woman who served the poor. I am the woman at the well. An outsider welcomed into the kingdom of God. You think that I must be silent and meek to become a biblical woman? You do not know what a biblical woman is.”

Olivia

For all the men who have made biblical women out to be nothing but silent property.

Can't decide whether it's funnier to say "my hungry ass could never work at a" and then say something that implies you're eating something truly grotesque or something that just, makes no sense

Media so good, they (the forces of evil) are hiding the fanbase from you. Media so good, you thought you dreamed that shit up and it don't really exist. I'M KNOCKING ON THE DOOR (CLICKING THE TAGS) FOR FAN CONTENT AND THERE'S NADA. Come outside y'all, I wanna talk like a normal person. (I'm going to rock back and forth frantically to convey my feelings about these podcasts)

It’s got to be a good sign that my cat will just lay on his back with his belly exposed anywhere in and around the house, but gosh sometimes I look at him like “you have the WORST survival instincts bub” especially when he does it so close to a doorway I’m constantly walking in and out of.
