I just finished watching Wake Up Dead Man yesterday with my dad, and what really stuck with me after I slept on it was the new Cross that Jud carves at the end.

This man never met Grace.

For all we know, there are no pictures for him to look at, to even see this woman who has been crucified as "harlot whore" by this Church.

But at the end, when he carves a cross to replace the cross she tore down, the figure he carves is so ambiguous.

It is both Christ and Grace all at once.

It is the figure who Jud looks up to, who was crucified.

But it is also the young woman who just wanted to leave, who was stuck with the people who shamed her every day, who lost the only option she had to leave. She was crucified for her choices.

And I find that so beautiful, because Jud is putting her up there, keeping her memory alive, not as harlot whore. But as that poor girl who suffered, just like Christ did.

I dooo think its also important to remember when discussing Jud's character is that hes not the pov just because hes a Priest. He's also a former criminal and recovered addict. Like thats sooo important its part of why the town rejects him and treats him so terribly after the murder. He's a Good Priest yes but thats bc he literally Is the kind of person the rest of the church tends to scorn

hi another prayer request for my priest—im not going to give details but apparently something has happened to make him feel unsafe. thanks

i don’t wanna hear any of y’all calling yourselves pro-life and then saying people deserve to die for “meddling with the police” or “yelling at them” when (1) said officers are ICE agents and not actual police and (2) the victim in question is actively trying to leave the scene and stop blocking their way and (3) she gets shot in the face 3x, 2 of those shots from the side of the vehicle once the officer was no longer even in “danger” and (4) when the agent in question proceeds to call her a “fucking bitch” after purposely shooting her two additional times more than what would even be acceptable in a case of self defense and (5) after said agents also proceeded to deny physicians on site the ability to resuscitate her

human dignity extends to people you do not like and *gasp* even people you might consider criminals or people who protest or people who might inconvenience the police. the punishment for interference is not death.

"Schutzmantelmuttergottes vom vierten südlichen Mittelschiffpfeiler. Links die betenden Männer: Bischof, König und Ordensmann mit Rosenkranz, rechts Frauen und Mädchen. Das abgestellte Wappen - ein springendes Pferd - läßt in den Figuren das Stifterehepaar vermuten."

"Virgin of Mercy, from the fourth southern pier of the nave. On the left, the praying men: bishop, king, and monk with rosary; on the right, women and girls. The coat of arms — a leaping horse — suggests that the figures represent the donor couple."

you shouldn't have to make up a slur to defend your lived experience. now remind me, what slur have anti-endos invented against endogenics?

advice that has literally saved and improved my life

Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.

father jud reminding martha about grace at her dying hour… and martha says i finally see it now that poor girl and asks for forgiveness… thinking about how grace spent so much of her life being hated and abused, even in the afterlife… “all i wanted was for someone to say they were sorry for what happened to me” was the one line going through mind during that scene and this applies to vera and martha and every woman ever victimized by the patriarchy

ok I endured it. now what!!!!!!!!!
