While the war is still ongoing, pray with the church in Syria, that they will continue reaching out to the lost and downtrodden. And pray for healing for this nation, which has suffered so much.
everyone who asks why im going catholic asks it in a setting where it feels like i’d have to explain it in 10 seconds or less and like….. its a bit more complex than that fam if you want a real answer we gotta take this conversation somewhere other than waiting for the fast food we ordered
I hear a lot of people bitching that they can’t leave kudos multiple times per story, or can’t leave kudos on every chapter, or whatever.
Well, take a page out of this marvelous book, because I swear I’ve never been so happy to receive kudos as waking up to multiple people having done this on multiple chapters on a story I just posted.
The bar just got raised, folks.
Would… would writers be glad to read a comment, that is saying “kudos”?
We’re happy to get a smiley face, honestly. Leaving another kudos like this is great. Anything that tells us we aren’t just screaming into the void
^^^^^ This. Even the smallest comments are golddust.
Seconding, thirding, and fourthing all of this. Saying or typing anything is amazing.
writers are happy with anything that isn’t ‘update pls’ when you just uploaded. type the alphabet and we’ll be grinning like fools cuz ‘sames’.
Dang I know what to do now!!!!
Oh, but you can get creative with your extra kudos!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Feedback means everything to fanfic writers and hitting a like or kudos button doesn’t really give that. Even one word reviews do wonders
Y’all, support your fanfic writers and fanart artists.
I’ve quoted Twain before and I will quote him again:
“
The form of a compliment has nothing to do with its value – it is the spirit that is in it that makes it gold or dross. This one was gold. This one was out of the heart, and I have found that an ignorant hot one out of the heart tastes just as good as does a calm, judicial, reasoned one out of an educated head. “ – Mark Twain, Fables of Man
It was during the part of the trial where they talked about possible racial discrimination in the camps, which would lead to more charges due to the camps being part of the DOJ. Marco was talking about Abby, and how she’d been forbidden to marry Edward Yazzie.
Prosecution: Mr. St. James, please tell the court what Mr. Yazzie said to you about his courtship with Miss Calhoun.
Marco: Edward said he’d asked for Abby’s hand after meeting her on a courtship swap. Abby supported the match. But her dad said–
Calhoun: My daughter would never have wanted to marry a redskin!
Marco: Shut the f*** up, you liar! They were going to run away together! The only reason they’re dead is because of the JM-104! You’re responsible for her death!
Fortunately, there was no mistrial. Marco’s comments were struck from the record (”speculation”), but Calhoun certainly hadn’t helped himself by shouting about Edward being a “redskin.”
It’s inherently coercive to refuse to date someone unless they’ll have sex with you, and the vast societal approval for such behavior is disgusting. We need to bring back shaming men who won’t date a woman unless she “puts out.”
