I should’ve also tagged this with #classwar - since MAGA Christian Nationalism is a profane inversion of “blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth”.

it’s a movement to transfer even more money & power to the sadistic hogs currently hoarding wealth & depriving 99% of humanity of basic resources for life & conviviality.

TIL of the Shakers, a christian sect that believed sexuality to be the root of all evil and original sin. All members went far enough in chastity to avoid shaking the opposite sex's hands. Their membership declined from a peak of 5000 in 1840 to 3 members in 2019 due to lack of births.

Шейкеры, христианская секта, которая считала сексуальность корнем всего зла и первородного греха. Все члены секты зашли достаточно далеко в целомудрии, и избегали даже рукопожатия с представителями противоположного пола. Их количество сократилось с 5000 человек в 1840 году до 3 в 2019 году ввиду отсутствия детей у членов секты.

I picked up this delightful book at Fruitlands this weekend.

Artists Maria Molteni and Allison Halter did a series of works engaging in the mystical practices of the Shakers in 2020/21-- including video, performance, and installation. This book documents all that-- as well as providing a fascinating overview of the Shakers.

Shakers the play. 3 actors dressed as waitresses stood at the bar. Audience watching.

4 actors as waitresses in Shakers. Stood in a bar at the front of the stage.
