a new zine called shitty horoscopes that i’ll be premiering this year at the Toronto Queer Zine Fair, among other things! hopefully i’ll make volumes available for online purchase soon. credit where credit is due: this was inspired by the huge number of made-up horoscopes floating around tumblr lately, and angry-poems.
Me: *thinking about Christian memes* What if Jesus had come in 2017 instead of back during Roman times? Would He, instead of using parables, have spoken in memes?
Roommate: I hate you. You aren’t allowed to have any more thoughts about Jesus.
Me: It’s not like its heresy! It isn’t insulting!
Roommate: Yes, it is! Memes are inherently sin, a sign of the Devil’s influence on this fallen world!
Satan: turn these stones into bread
Jesus: bold of you to assume that man can live on bread alone
a fig tree out of season: *no figs*
jesus: then perish
Ok but from a purely theological standpoint, based on the way Jesus communicated (he talked in ways that would be understandable to at least some extent by the general public, and had a lot of respect for children)…
Theologically speaking, Jesus would almost certainly have spoken in memes.
“Whenever you crack open a cold one with the boys in my name, there I be in your midst”
