it’s also because Leonard COHEN (!) was Jewish and this is a quintessentially Jewish line, and changing it to that level of Annoying Certainty is stripping it of its Jewish meaning and imbuing it with that particularly American smug evangelical Christian attitude that makes me tired, so very tired
THAT IS EXACTLY WHY
I don’t think I’ve heard any cover artist sing my favorite verses
You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
It’s here! After a year and a half of hard work, we are both so excited to finally share our film with you. Thank you all for your support and encouragement – this film means the world to us, and your kindness and enthusiasm has made this journey all the more meaningful. It is our great pleasure to share with you this labor of love, and we hope with all our hearts that you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.
I get sad. There are other more clinical and specific names for how sad I get, but ultimately, I feel sad. Tarot is such an important part of my life that just like a best friend, I turn to it when I am sad.
This is the story of how I reach for tarot in my sadness. My hope is that it will illustrate the usefulness of tarot as a tool. Not just a tool, a friend.
I am offering Tarot for Sad People in my Etsy shop for $3. Despite the low price, I’m also giving it away for free. Right here.
I value the work I do – and writing something while sad is definitely work – and I want to make sure that everyone who might need this gets to see it. So please download this PDF. And if you’re able and feeling it, then you can buy it as well on Etsy, maybe even give it as a gift.
saw atomic blonde by myself in a theatre of hets in the middle of the night and let me just say watching THE lesbian in the film get brutally murdered in one of the most violent ways i’ve ever seen onscreen really um what’s the word traumatized me for life

yeah uh i saw this movie just cos I heard it was gay and was really not expecting the ingenue lesbian get strangled by a man in her own bed while half-naked it was Unfun
Super glad for this post; I would not have dealt with that well.
