  • A lot of regular people get swept up into the default

    this is the terrifying thing about hegemony. the ruling class uses it to convince people to think things are normal that aren’t. racism is only 400 years old. across the globe societies had trans and non binary people until colonialism arrived in their place. so called “barter” societies that predated currency weren’t using resources in inefficient systems of trade, they were just sharing with eachother because compassion and love for our neighbors is far more default and natural to us than religious leaders want you to think.








  • 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
