  • cool! i don't have that much exposure to orthodox traditions. it reads like in orthodoxy the fertility symbol of the egg was recontextualized to represent Jesus tomb with the shell representing marble. the pictures are interesting, too. at first when you mentioned orthodoxy i imagined elaborate designs, but no. they're a deep dark red. i suggest others look them up because it's interesting seeing the differences in traditions.

    in catholic and protestant descended easter egg traditions the most common colors for the eggs to be are blue, yellow, pink, purple, and green. these are springtime colors and in pagan traditions represented the potential for new life. the fact that we still do things like easter egg hunts and have a mystical magical bunny that brings children candy is a result of that the catholic church learned early on that if you strip pagans of their favorite traditions at first contact they get violent and angry because giving candy to children is fun and nice

  • neither is dying eggs. it's a coopted pagan tradition, hence the easter bunny. it's all just a bunch of fertility symbols. what denomination teaches the dyed red stuff?

  • losers confirming his nominees, only cory booker has done anything to really stall him. the senate is looking mighty complicit

  • do you even know who bernie sanders is?

  • idk what the fuck everyone else is talking about, we absolutely ate those hardboiled dyed eggs

  • um. you eat the dyed eggs. did your family just toss em?

  • see: illinois, maryland, and california state politics, where the democrats are republicans, and the republicans are insane

  • so weird little quirk of american politics. no one actually knows what wartime powers the president has access to since we never withdrew our declaration of war or signed any peace treaty for the Korean war. it's how the american military apparatus has been, legally, allowed to be employed in weird bullshit like the gulf war. it's just one of those loopholes both sides left open in case they wanted to use it, and then a fascist, to no one who pays attention's surprise, leapt right through the loophole.

  • bamboozle them with bullshit

  • god i wish this wasn't true. he's a fuckin' fascist through and through

  • and i'm in serious support of it to be clear
