Friars are a part of MENDICANT ORDERS and follow different RULES and PHILOSOPHIES than Benedictines, Cistercians, Trappist etc.

They reject the life of monastics, whom were often ruled by wealthy and landowning abbots. Mendicants avoid owning property and also evangelize people. Friars seek to live in poverty, surviving only on what’s donated to them.

I do not KNOW what is going on with the Dominicans do not ask me.

hi everyone, i'm asking for donations because my water was just shut off and i'm looking at having no water for like a week because i can't pay the fees. my family can barely afford to eat or to get medicine so if you could help us, please donate to my cash app.

i will also gladly draw you something in exchange for money, or even if you blaze this post. i will also write your essay for you or help you with english/science related things. i really need some help right now. i'm also very appreciative of anyone who reblogs this post. please help a trans guy and his family out.

I was reading one of my childhood diaries the other day and there was a whole paragraph saying how hopeful I was that my writing will help the archeologists in the far future. Then it proceeded to describe my lunch that day and how my dog was probably secretly able to talk.

A bronze statue of a young boy sitting on a bench, holding a scrap of birch bark in one hand and a writing implement in the other. Next to him is a toy horse on wheels.ALT

there is a fucking statue of a kid who lived sometime in the 1200s, around 800 fucking years ago, because we have pieces of his homework that he doodled on while learning how to write. this is one of his drawings:

A piece of birch bark with two stick figures. They have hands that look like rakes with way too many or too few fingers and sassy eyebrows. There are letters in the lower left corner.ALT

when I was googling him (because I couldn't remember his name), I stumbled across this twitter thread about him, which includes a different doodle by an italian boy in the 1400s of knights besieging a castle:

A drawing of two soldiers (one on horseback and one an archer on foot) attacking a castle. The castle has three windows through which you can see the people inside, one on each floor. There is an archer at the top of the tower.ALT

It's at the back of one of his schoolbooks for learning Latin.

ALL WE KNOW OF THESE KIDS IS STUFF THEY DREW WHILE THEY WERE BORED AND IT'S STILL HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT.

Heck, this is valuable right now! I was also in love with Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle when I was young and totally thought my dog could talk because of a character in a Beverly Cleary or Judy Blume book. I feel seen!
