polytheistic theology
@indi @starkatt according to my personal cosmology, it's more that they... require attention to... hmm. interact with the material world? if they get less attention, they "fade away" from our perceptions; but if we resume paying attention to them, it gets their attention in return and they interact with us more. but they don't stop existing; they go exist somewhere else. XD
polytheistic theology
@indi @starkatt also, I think that gods can merge, like the populations that worship them do; and new gods bud off from older ones, as a new group finds that it has new needs that aren't being met by the previous iteration. Catholicism and its ongoing plethora of saints and Madonnas is a good example. there are a *lot* of Catholics whose worship of "God" as understood by the Vatican is entirely secondary to continued veneration of their local deity in different robes.
polytheistic theology
@indi @starkatt as much as I like the story American Gods, I think it's wrong about the life cycle of deities. I think that it's *very* difficult and rare for a god to "die." they change, they adapt, but their core is built around one or another fundamental aspect of human nature, and unless/until *that* aspect in all of humans disappears, the god will still be with us--even if we don't know its name, or see it as a personified force.

@mawr @literorrery @mxsparks @starkatt *starstarstarstarheartheartheart*
gender dysphoria survey!
@Fuego @literorrery @starkatt @mxsparks I kept going and kept calling them out, every time. it was... kind of cathartic, for me. XD
@acetone_kitten I Know That Feel (TM), and fwiw the filter list trick has worked pretty darn well for me. >____>
gender dysphoria survey!
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Gender-Dysphoria
"During the survey, you will be asked to think about your experiences of gender dysphoria and provide examples of these feelings. You will also be presented with traditional measures of gender dysphoria and asked how well they capture, or fail to capture, your experiences. We hope to use this information to improve existing measures and the current understanding of dysphoria."
