Happy Easter, or what remains of it, for those who celebrate it! (And happy Deep Discounts on Peeps Day to all who celebrate that tomorrow.)
There’s an interesting, er, theological discussion about the meaning of Easter over on The Spearhead. In a short post, WF Price argues that the uppity ladies of today could learn a thing or two from Mary Magdalene:
One of my favorite subtexts of the Easter story is the devotion of Mary Magdalene, who kept a vigil at her Lord’s tomb, and thereby became the first witness to the Resurrection.
I don’t see it as a specifically Christian message, but rather a universal one: the woman, regardless of her background or past, can attain holiness through selfless love and devotion. I hope some day that our own errant women can follow Mary Magdalene’s example.
A nonbeliever with the clever handle fakeemail isn’t convinced:
Once a whore always a whore.
I have no interest for a whore who “saw the light” aka a 30 year old cock-carouseler who is out of options. I want the young woman who was smart enough to never be a whore in the first place.
Evidently MRAs never take a holiday from being dicks.
Cow kitty is so sweet. What a puddin’ tat, lots of belly to scritch.
hellkell, your new kitty avatar looks like it’s dropping acid! 😀
Hellkell turned into acid trip kitty!
I like the way cow kitty’s tabby stripes can’t be suppressed. Reminds me of a cat I used to know – he was probably 99% Russian Blue, but had the give-away tabbiness showing on his tail. Lovely boy, he’d always come over for a scritch.
Hellkell, you’re new kitty avatar is so strange. O_O I feel like it’s going to eat my soul…
@hellkell: Oh, did you change your avatar? Damn, I thought the acid was kicking in.
Say what you will about the celery, but Five goes out saving one person and that is never not awesome.
You can keep your Whine Lord.Dangit, ninja’d twice.
And, having dropped by and stirred the Doctor Who pot, I will now flee to Slumberland because my babies kept me up last night.
Good night, all.
@falconer
Good night, and have a nice sleep 😀
Niters, Falconer! 🙂
Omg HI QUACKERS
I don’t know if you’ve been around lately and I’ve just not seen your comments but it seems like you have not so HI HOPE YOU ARE DOING AWESOME.
MWAHAHAHAHA, hellkell and the electric kitty acid-test!
Electric Kool Aid Kitty does not look like zie’s having a good trip!
Ohhh, new kitties!
I’m terrible proud of my new avatar. Mads has her nose at last. 🙂
Oh, kittehs, not you too! Hellkell has brainwashed you! Come back to the lightside! XD
Between Mads and hellkell, I never had a chance! 😀
*skulks* **
Also, my newbiness is showing, who’s Mads?
**but like, silly skulking XD
Sorry! Mads, aka Maddie, aka Madeleine, is one half of my current earthside crop of kitties. I’m always trying to get my avatar looking like her. 🙂
BTW, do you pronounce your screen name MAHrie or MarEE? I automatically think it the first way ‘cos it’s my MiL’s name and that’s how she says it.
Ah, so she was your kitty XD Well, how could I compete with cuteness like that?
Re: my name: I think it’s the first one, but I am having a horrible time telling them apart, aside from placing the accent XD (or is that just it?)
I based my kitty on myself. The big eyes and pink bow distract from the fangs.
@vicsaria
Ouch XD Please don’t eat me.
I based my kitty on maxium cuteness possible (from my very biased POV)
And sadly I have to go to bed now. Good night, wonderful manboobzers.
Maddie still is my kitty! She and Fribbie the bucket queen are with us. It’s Katie & co. who’ve crossed over. Two here, ten There. Good thing they don’t have to eat, or Louis’d spend his whole time feeding them.
Marie-my-MiL is Italian, and I presume that in Italian or French the emphasis is on the first syllable, rather than the second (which is what I was trying to show with the spelling before).
Viscaria, lol! I always think of people looking like their avatars. Yes, I know.
Niters Marie!
They are metaphorical fangs XD. Have a good night!
Your regularly schedualed program has been interupted to bring…
HAPPY NEWS!!!!
IM MOVING INTO A TOTALLY AWESOME HUGE HOUSE WITH BELOVED!!!!
Wheeeeee! I’m so excited. And I won’t be sleeping tonight. And it midnight. Who cares?
