In October 1776, the Public Universal Friend contracted an epidemic disease and was bedridden and near death with a high fever. Their family summoned a doctor from Attleboro, six miles away, and neighbors kept up a death-watch at night. The fever broke after several days. The Friend later reported that [deadname redacted] had died, receiving revelations from God through two archangels who proclaimed there was “Room, Room, Room, in the many Mansions of eternal glory for Thee and for everyone”. The Friend further said that [deadname redacted]'s soul had ascended to heaven and the body had been reanimated with a new spirit charged by God with preaching his word, that of the “Publick Universal Friend”, describing that name in the words of Isaiah 62:2 as “a new name which the mouth of the Lord hath named”.
From that time on, the Friend refused to answer to their deadname, ignoring or chastising those who insisted on using it. When visitors asked if it was the name of the person they were addressing, the Friend simply quoted Luke 23:3 (“thou sayest it”). Identifying as neither male nor female, the Friend asked not to be referred to with gendered pronouns. Followers respected these wishes; they referred only to “the Public Universal Friend” or short forms such as “the Friend” or “P.U.F.”, and many avoided gender-specific pronouns even in private diaries. When someone asked if the Friend was male or female, the preacher replied “I am that I am”, saying the same thing to a man who criticized the Friend’s manner of dress (adding, in the latter case, “there is nothing indecent or improper in my dress or appearance; I am not accountable to mortals”).
editorial note: I think this is a very cool story and I really love hearing it. We’ve been around forever and we’ve been doing variations of this forever. It’s really beautiful

I don’t know why this is the case, but I hate how hard calling myself a woman is. Maybe with time/transition progress it will be more natural feeling? I definitely want to be, so I guess I am, idk it still feels wrong.
I feel so wide all the time, but I think everyone might just be wider than I think and I have BDD
There is so much more to this Fire Emblem rom hack than I thought, and I have to reset my run because I misunderstood how supports work and I’ve forsaken romance for a lot of the characters
I’ll definitely have a mega post for when the time comes, there’s a lot to this hack and it might just be peak gaming

Day one of Gabapentin Is For Losers, Cold Turkey Gang, I Ain’t No Fuckin Loser:
I stop taking the anxiety med, I have more anxiety when I’m going outside
No bad withdrawal stuff though, baby tier. I’m goin’ back to anxietytown.
I was looking at my shadow today, and it looked like I was wearing an awesome coat with a long back piece flapping in the wind, along with my jeans. Yeah, in reality it’s just a sweatshirt thing that happens to have a small portion that hangs out in the back, and it does it in the front too. Now I really want a coat like that…
Yesterday I was photographing a self bondage set in a small grove between some trees, a sort of lost in the woods thing wearing the green dress from Howl’s moving castle and a pair of blue wrens landed on the branch next to my head and hung out there for a few moments, I didn’t manage to get the picture with them because I was too surprised but I’m a motherfucking Disney princess.
It’s cold, I wanna be a burrito
awwwrrruffff :3
why do americans talk about this guy “palmer john” all the time
is he like an italian chef or something
Mental health, burnout, family shit
Feeling real today
Lend me gay energy to take care of myself instead of just burning myself out dealing with external problems
I feel like I’m trying so hard to improve myself and do so much for other people to just keep my dysfunctional family afloat and it’s never enough and I never feel appreciated for it
It’s like no matter what I do and how hard I try to get my shit together, I’m always gonna be treated like a dumb gremlin baby by my family even as they increasingly become incompetent geezers that need my help with simple shit that they’re too lazy to do for themselves
It feels like I’m carrying them around in the Flintstones car and if I quit lifting it up and kicking my legs to keep it moving, the wheels are gonna fall off and that’s gonna be all my fault according to them and I’ll never hear the end of it.
Anyways here’s a cute cat pic
monster zero ultra fills my veins
