"How could I have plunged so far into You, with no way back, and lived if I had not been in You before? Truly, I was in You from Your first awakening, because I sense that You are my home." - St Nikolai Velimirovich

Was chatting with a pregnant Gen Z girlie and she told me that her husband didn't drink at all for 3 months leading up to her pregnancy and was a huge health nut. She's about to give birth and her only negative pregnancy symptom was fatigue.

Anyway, I am connecting healthy dads/sperm health to easier and better pregnancies for the first time ever at 36 years old.

@Abdul_Q_86 @andfogle How so?

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@mathyouf @JiL121458 I feel like such a system is best suited to a Han Chinese-majority China rather than extension to other populaces. What is your take/that of Kissinger/Hollebecque? Is a "world order" something that has an expansionist drive?

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@JiL121458 @mathyouf Is this serious? What does the Chinese civilization stand for if there is no ethnic homogeneity? It seems Chinese society can only accept a small amount of foreign/non-Asiatics, or else its "ethos" will fundamentally change.

@inh3rit May you have chizuk!

@mattaversion @FedPoasting Yea, it’s considered indecent by many conservative Muslims.

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@KeturahAbigail Though the poster may be irreligious, Muslims often view the West as one, Christian Crusader descendants who have long lost the way of Abraham, with tendencies towards liberalism and a degenerating influence, e.g. via colonialism.

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@KeturahAbigail Muslims often deride Christians for being liberal, e.g. to oppose Islam. They deride Christians for ignoring Paul’s command to women to headcover in 1 Cor 11. They are proud their women dress like Mary while mocking Christian ones as naked or harlots.

@AhmadKa51405122 @ShinMarginalScr Why do you think that is that women adopt the hijab after moving to the states?

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@dream_n2020 @RenXiu83090 A practice where young girls' feet are broken and bound up so they always remain small. In the 19th century around half of Chinese women had bound feet. It was considered ugly and unfeminine to have regular feet.

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@dream_n2020 @RenXiu83090 This practice also spread to the Hui Muslims in China, though one mosque was reported with a sign that prohibited foot binding as it violated the creation of God. (2/2)

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@dream_n2020 @RenXiu83090 Yes, the Han Chinese once practiced "suppression of female rights" as well. For example, the practice of foot binding effectively imposed purdah on women by restricting their ability to walk. (1/2)

@Antiochian_Rum Why is Mamdani progressive and Al Sayed definitely not?

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@uaeskeptic @JoelNinan314130 @AvdullahYousef I see now 😭
A lot of social media content now seems suspicious to me, like someone is behind it. It seems to have gotten worse in the past year and with AI

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@JoelNinan314130 @AvdullahYousef Is the UAE promoting distortion of Islam?

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@JoelNinan314130 @AvdullahYousef And who planted her?

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@Rhea__Maria As to similar Christian practices to muharram, I can think of Good Friday mourning in the Philippines, where flagellation is practiced and some men will volunteer to actually be nailed to crosses (often condemned as excessive; as muharram rituals can also be)

[Autumn @autumn_light]

@Rhea__Maria I actually wondered the exact thing haha! But I don’t think there is something equivalent in either EO or Catholic traditions. Different peoples and spiritualities
