i know it’s not the same thing but this reminds me of the opposite, when grown men throw actual tantrums bc they’re having a daughter. maybe saying they don’t deserve to have children was a little harsh, but you can’t pretend there aren’t a whole lot of men who don’t want girls
me singing olivia rodrigo’s vampire at the top of my lungs even though i’ve been in a stable, committed relationship with a wonderful person for the last 8 years
mormons hate socialism but they’re okay with the missionary program charging all missionaries the same price whether they’re somewhere with a high or low cost of living lol
if you ever made a prom dress “modest” by completely ruining the look or wearing one of those little jackets, you may be entitled to financial compensation
mormon women marry mediocre men then praise them for the bare minimum like “helping” with their baby and “helping” clean the house and telling them they’re beautiful; the bar is on the floor for men and especially mormon men
cons of big boobs:
-look bad in button shirts
-bras are hard to find
-swimsuits????
-can’t move my arms in some shirts bc they are too tight!!!!
-side boob makes ur arms look fat
pros:
-?????
this pic cracks me up bc they straight up just drove in the middle of the road and i guarantee that person driving the opposite direction is asking themself why they still live in utah
this boy at BYU:
-served a mission in south america
-offers to pray in class and says prayer in mission language
-plays “waterfall” on the piano in the wilk
-does that finger snapping thing whenever he laughs
-takes girls to the creamery on first dates
the church: don’t wait to have kids or get married, do it in college if you have to, there is nothing more important than having a family
church schools: *don’t cover maternity for student spouses, stop accepting medicaid, no childcare options for college students*
when i was 16 i did a voluntourism trip and man do i regret the white savior complex it gave me.
in hindsight, i was taking jobs from local workers and honestly probably traumatizing orphaned children by bonding with them for 2 weeks then disappearing forever.
I am LOVING President Nelson validating the life and experiences of those from less active families, those who have inactive families, and those who come from non-member families. We often think our leaders come from super churchy families and that’s not always the case.

I think a really big underlying issue with the breastfeeding issue is that members of the church (ESPECIALLY in the states/UT) seem to believe that all nudity=pornography. that’s simply not the case. pornography carries the intent to arouse sexual feelings. breastfeeding does not
hi i want to speak v briefly about infant social language development!
mirroring the sounds your baby makes is one of the best ways to interact with very young infants (~2-6 months). if they say “ahhh” in a high pitched voice, you do the same! babies are super responsive to it!
by this logic, is any romantic behavior that doesn’t lead to eternal marriage not compatible? no more NCMOs guys! or kissing until you’re married in the temple!
Today this letter from Elder Paul V. Johnson, Commissioner of the Church Educational System, regarding the updated Honor Code was sent to students and employees at all CES schools.
In tackling major challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, people, businesses, and state government must work together to make a difference.
We'd like to thank dōTERRA for its promise to distribute 1 million On Guard® Hand Sanitizing Wipes to local students and teachers!

every single post on the lds wives page i’m in is like “my husband has 6 years left of school and doesn’t work and we’ve been married 3 months and I only work 5 hours a week and we want to have a baby sooooo bad should we???” and everyone is like “yes, we did and we’re fine!!”
i drove by the challenger school in slc today and their billboard said “your free speech is more important than other people’s feelings” and i just,,,, hate that??? like you can have free speech and not be a dick? maybe let’s not teach kids that feelings don’t matter???
today in the LDS subreddit, Man is Upset bc the church took “presiding” out of the temple language and he just really wants to preside guys :( because he doesn’t like his wife’s suggestions :(
when people say “OuR GoVeRnMeNt CaN’t EvEn RuN tHe PoStAl SeRvIcE” i am always so confused bc you can ship a package with USPS for like, $7 and it gets there in 2 days with tracking and I’ve never lost a package????
posting on facebook asking for someone to host you and your new spouse one night on a road trip because you don’t want to pay for a hotel but having 3 wedding receptions is like, PEAK mormonism
almost swore in the temple dressing room tonight because i somehow managed to stab myself in the eye with the coat hook on the door, but i managed to stop myself. we keepin it holy in 2019
when I say mormon women marry mediocre men i don’t mean physically or personality-wise. I mean men who aren’t willing to do any emotional labor, housekeeping, children-raising, won’t hold a job, don’t care about their wife’s sexual well-being, etc. & unfortunately there are lots
as someone who is one semester away from holding a master’s degree in speech-language pathology, if i see someone make fun of Joe Biden’s stutter, it’s on SIGHT.
STUTTERING 👏🏻 IS NOT 👏🏻 A SIGN 👏🏻 OF LACK OF INTELLIGENCE 👏🏻
i say this as a progressive woman who attended BYU and kind of doesn’t love BYU. BYU is not the “literal worst for women.”
you know what is? not having access to education in the first place.
what level of molly mormon were you in high school?
-i would only reblog and save funny memes/posts on my phone if they didn’t have swears
-the only jewelry i bought was young-women’s-values themed from deseret book
-deseret book was the highlight of my trips to utah
me: okay, so if you write two pages tonight you’re DONE with college that’s all you have to do!!!!
brain: no :)
me: two! pages! and then you can watch netflix without guilt or stress!!
brain: absolutely not :)
i gave a talk in sacrament today and made sure to say either Heavenly Parents or Heavenly Mother and Father whenever I was referencing God and someone came up to me after and said how meaningful that was to them.
it matters guys! representation matters!
$32K a year, no benefits, but you have to know Chinese enough to teach it and also have a bachelors degree?? utah is delusional when it comes to childcare
as everyone knows, skirts are more righteous than pants. this is why men need the priesthood, to make up for their lack of righteousness for wearing pants. it’s simple doctrine guys.
a really nice thing my bishop does after each baby blessing is he has the mother stand and recognizes her. it makes an important priesthood moment in the child’s life something that recognizes both mother and father as contributors. it’s a little thing that means a lot
i’m not going to get my hopes up i’m not going to get my hopes up i’m not going to get my hopes up i’m not going to get my hopes up i’m not going to get my hopes up i’m not going to get my hopes up i’m not going to get my hopes up i’m not going to get my hopes up i’m not going to
hey uh male healthcare providers? maybe DON’T unbutton the pants of your female patient laying on the table who you’ve never met before ?? they can do it themselves????
mormon twitter a few years ago: haha wasn’t efy fun, look at this mormon meme, gotta get the biggest piece of sacrament bread am i right??
mormon twitter now: okay guys i have a hot take about the gospel but hear me out
i think a really pivotal turning point in my faith journey with the church is realizing that i simply do not believe being gay is a sin, or that heterosexual marriage is the only acceptable form of marriage.
friendly reminder to our trolls on the other side of the internet saying Christ condemned sin so they can too:
1) you are not Jesus Christ
2) Jesus’s biggest condemnation of sin came down on wealthy people. not on the gays.
so stfu and STOP USING MY SAVIOR TO JUSTIFY YOUR HATE
i ONLY want appendicitis if i get to wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night and be rushed to the hospital after a french nun says “something is not right” 😤😤😤
it’s 2019 why is it not common practice to make high quality recordings of broadway musicals available for purchase by the POORS who can’t afford to go to new york to see them????
things that are a threat to the family:
-infidelity
-abuse
-pride
-living beyond one’s means
-sexist gender roles
-lack of communication
things that are not a threat to the family:
-gay people getting married and raising children
-loving your LGBTQ+ family unconditionally
RMs will serve in developing countries and say they learned so much about the struggles of poverty from the “humble people” they taught but then come home to the states and vote against social programs, universal healthcare, and higher taxes for the extremely wealthy ☕️☕️☕️
my RS president just gave a talk about loving and inclusion and talked about how when her son brought his boyfriend to meet his grandfather, he said “well, i guess a hug is in order then” and i just
yeah sex is great but have you ever had your brain fog lift after a year of depression because you started taking medication and your brain has the proper chemicals??
okay but like:
1) you are not jesus christ. full stop.
2) the ONLY thing christ rebuked in this manner was money changing. seems like christ’s biggest issue was the wealthy.
but ain’t no one wanna talk about that 🤔
listen i think it is maybe not the best idea to take pictures of strangers in public and post them on twitter to make fun of them...? like if i was in public and someone took a picture of me and made fun of me on the internet i’d be crushed so maybe just don’t do that?
in 10 minutes i’m saying the opening prayer in a very conservative family ward, is it too much to say “please bless that we will be able to show love to our LGBT siblings and help them know of their Heavenly Parent’s love for them”?? 🤔
do you guys ever think about how if you lose your job for health related reasons you also lose your health care and therefore can’t get any help for the health related reasons you lost your job for in the first place?
i just found out a library 20 minutes from my house has a long arm quilting machine and embroidery machine I can use for FREE. we absolutely stan public libraries!!!
i know vaping is a hot topic right now but just please don’t vape
nicotine aside it absolutely destroys your lungs
pockets of vapor form in your lungs and can cause pneumonia and other serious medical complications
just..... don’t vape.
i will never forgive my mother for making me think i was fat in high school when i was like a size 6-8 !!!!!! (she literally tried to send me to fat camp and asked one of my friend’s mom how to make me skinny)
if you call yourself a feminist or activist but still indignantly use the R-word in the year of our lord 2020, you aren’t actually a feminist or activist :)
today i learned that a lot of people (read:women) in the church think it’s inappropriate for their spouse to text someone of the opposite gender even if it’s for work or a church calling? are we not adults here??? if i need to text brother XYZ i’m going to text him not his wife??
i mentioned in passing to my relief society president once that i wanted a vegetable chopper and today when i got home there was a used vegetable chopper on my doorstep with no note. i don’t know if it was her or someone else but it really meant a lot to me today.
today during sacrament i was holding a tiny bebe and his 3-year-old older brother turned around with a puzzled look and loudly said “... she took our baby...” 😅
this is just a PSA that free tax USA is by far the best tax software i’ve used and yes it’s literally completely free!!! will never ever use anything else.
tomorrow marks 3 years since I went no-contact with my birth-giver. i’m just here to say you are allowed to set boundaries and stop talking to people who have hurt you. you don’t owe relationships to your parents just bc they raised you!
ummmm.... mother’s lounges are not nap spots. those spots are reserved for mothers who are trying so hard to get their education or to work. they shouldn’t have to share with someone who wants to take a nap. try again,
@UniverseBYU
@BYU
For one reason or another, a good night's rest often eludes college students, and a quick snooze between classes is a must. We've done the dirty work so you don't have to; here are 10 of the best places to nap on the BYU campus.
