The problem with knowing how the world works, the dark & utterly depressing side of it all.. is that it can make you lose your hope, & blind you from the beauty that surrounds you

Finding a balance of accepting the truth, but not letting it steal your joy is hard, but important

Something like 60% of gay individuals report having major mental health issues into adulthood. Large percentage abused, and many could say this is due to a world that is not set up to “support them”

How is that different exactly? Because they can hold jobs? So can those with Down syndrome.

The difference is you see one as not worthy and the other as worthy. Eugenics is a tricky thing.

@CatholicCharm @Ruesavatar The more questions I ask like this in good faith (not oral sex but just when I notice things that seem to contradict themselves) to Catholics I realize every time they just get defensive, frustrated, and can’t answer. I guess I need to ask a priest.

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

Yes, if you aren’t healthy your cycles may not be regular. Right. But you can very easily still know when you’re ovulating. Your body tells you. It’s very easy to notice. I’ve ovulated twice within a “month” due to my cycles being short while getting my hormones postpartum, but I still knew I was ovulating. So this still isn’t answering my question and tbh it feels a bit odd.

I guess one could say that Rue could give oral sex and then immediately have natural sex and some sperm could theoretically still be there and could travel inside of the vagina and could impregnate her.

So maybe it’s intent? Or just, strings.

@1waterhole I’m glad this trend has not made it to your feed. God has truly blessed you.

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

How do I block videos of extremely obese people eating brightly colored pineapple in disgusting ways from my feed?

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

I’m sorry, I don’t know why you’re acting like this is a silly question when a few comments up you literally said “Catholics believe it’s a sin if it’s to completion and replaces the act of sex because then it’s purely for pleasure and removes any chance of creating life”

And ok, like this makes sense for the OP’s question, but you can only get pregnant within a certain timeframe and I’m asking why wouldn’t that same logic apply there? You know you can’t create life, you know it’s only for pleasure. But you’re saying that’s fine because you didn’t use a condom?

I’m truly trying to understand, as someone who is exploring Catholicism. But when you all say things like this and then dismiss a question like mine, you sound like the Jews tying string around their town to fool God.

Does God not know you can’t get pregnant? Do you not know? Then what is the guideline? If you can only have sex when there is a chance of creating life, that sounds to me like you can only have sex within an ovulation window and never again if it’s determined you’re infertile.

That doesn’t sound right to me, which is why I’m asking for clarification in something you, and others, have said.

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@CatholicCharm @Ruesavatar But, there is no chance of creating life, and therefore it’s only for pleasure. No?

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@CatholicCharm @Ruesavatar There is only a chance of creating life within a woman’s ovulation window. Does that mean that many Catholics are against having sex outside of the 6days a month it’s possible to conceive? What if there is infertility? Honestly curious.

@JesseBWatters They didn’t take an oath to “the party”

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@MsJazzybelle right, that’s what we are teaching our children

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@JakeIsHere5x5 @gofishh77 So what are the boomer’s excuse?

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@sesamestreet I’m actually ok with my children not knowing who the puppets, or their friends for that matter, are sexually attracted to.

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@vrilledcheese @holyhomemaking +1 to all of this. Plus make sure you have food and drink prepped to nourish you during. Labor aide is great (lots of recipes online and can be frozen beforehand).

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@BreitbartNews If your period hurts that much you probably have a hormone imbalance and should look into that.

@AnonymousLeftie In Florida and Texas maybe, many of us are actually enjoying the sunshine

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@ZacSolaris @chiefkittenme You’re right, it’s crude and disgusting. Just felt appropriate for this post for some reason.

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@writersdawn @Primal_Birth Right?? I’m shocked so many are made in this way now.

[Justine Harper @mshodl]

@littlebayschool Anyone ever put a CO2 monitor in one of these? I’ve always been curious.
