          It’s an interesting question. My feeling is that Joyce is hetro but is so open-hearted and generous with her time and emotional energy that she often appears to be romantically interested in people.

          With Sal, I think it is more of a case that Sal is so much Joyce’s mental stereotype of a strong, confident woman that she’s become something of a fangirl.

      I mean, your version is infinitely better than the real verse: But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.”

        I admit I was expecting something a bitt punchier, or a little deeper if it was the lesbian wedding verse.

        I guess it is about… not being kicked out of the club?

          Out of context it sounds like its about the same mentality as the sickness and health bit. Like “if youre going through a rough patch dont tell me to leave cuz i wanna be here”. And the your people bit seems to be like your family is my family whats important to you is important to me.

              In context it’s…pretty much how you described it, but spoken from one no-longer-married-at-the-time woman to another. Put on some ShippingGogglestm, and it could easily be taken in a romantic way; even if not, it has been used that way by others numerous times for what seems like obvious reasons.

                Both my parents called the others parents “mom” and “dad”.
                My brother-in-law calls my parents “mom”, and “dad”. (I can only suppose my sister reciprocates, as I don’t witness those interactions.)
                I see nothing odd about a widow telling her husbands mother she’s family, and will not be abandoning her.

              I actually read the entire Book of Ruth in order to try to understand the context of the referenced verse. I can’t say it helped much. 1:16 is so intense with emotion and drama, suggesting a deep relationship. Yet, the rest of the book lacks any other emotional detail, except maybe the end when Ruth’s son is born. The story doesn’t even explain how Naomi’s husband and sons die, they are simply dead, on with the story!

        Anyway, the Taco Bell fries here aren’t just normal fries anyway (they’re called Nacho fries; they have a special seasoning), and yes, the have Nacho Fries Supreme.

              The second for showing people in my country excelling at farcical stupidity:

        Best fries are Culver’s. Fresh. Square cut to get the right mix of oil and potato. Crunchy on the outside and melty goodness inside. McDonald’s are the worst. Plus Culver’s has custard and not the chemically mix served in so many places.

            We also have two-dollar coins unimaginatively called “toonies”. When they were introduced, the suggestion was made that they be called “dubloons”. As someone who read “Treasure Island” at an impressionable age, I thought that was a fantastic idea. Unfortunately, I was in a minority, and it didn’t stick. [sigh]

            For those not familiar with Canadian coinage, the one-dollar coin is called a “loonie” because the original stampings had a picture of a loon on the obverse side, this being considered an iconic example of Canadian wildlife. Since then, other images have been used, for example the Northern Lights.

          If you want something to celebrate about the U.S., how about those high-school kids in Florida campaigning for gun control? They’re not going to change the NRA nor the politicians it pays for, but if they can keep it up for eight months they just might influence the mid-term election. Now THAT would be worth celebrating.

              Point. However, this seems to be part of a growing resistance to the current travesty of an administration. To me this seems potentially indicative of an understanding of the importance of maintaining democracy (“eternal vigilance . . .” and all that). It could be the start of a renewal of that concept. Or as fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen put it: “Democracy is coming . . . to the U.S.A.”

                Sadly the travesty that is the three houses has been ongoing for much longer than this one administration. It is just that this one has no skill at polishing turds – and yes you can polish a turd – confirmed by mythbusters – but a turd is still a turd.

                  It is my understanding – and I am not a historian – that the founding fathers set up a tripartate government based on the concept that a three-legged stool is inherently stable. They wanted to make sure that no small group could dominate the government. And for almost 200 years, it worked tolerably well, if you exclude the failure to prevent Jim Crow laws. Gradually, power has been shifted to the administrative branch (the white house) and the congress and senate have become too partisan to accept the level of compromise that is necessary for a democracy to function. It is not too late to turn things around, but the U.S. is, IMO, dangerously close to a point of no return which will lead to something resembling feudalism. The only way out of that is bloody revolution, which would be horrible.

                  If you exclude not only Jim Crow, but an entire Civil War.

                  And lets be clear, it’s not that somehow congress became too partisan, it’s that one party has decided that government not functioning is perfectly acceptable. We had a system that ran for generations largely on norms and informal rules. Those norms have been thrown out over a period of decades and replaced more and more with simple “it doesn’t say I can’t”. We saw it with the growing abuse of the filibuster. We saw it most blatantly with “nothing says we actually have to vote on a Supreme Court nomination.”

                  I don’t know how we get back from where we are, even assuming we survive the current crisis without ditching democracy entirely.

                  1) We don’t like mass shootings.
                  2) If Trump’s a fascist, running the government, he’s got the army and they’ve got bigger and better weapons anyway. Guns aren’t the way to fight that.
                  3) The fascist and his supporters are the ones with the most guns and the most support for keeping guns not just legal, but plentiful.
                  4) In our situation, guns may not be as much use resisting the fascist as in arming his brownshirts.

                  Read. Thanks for replying, the jeff.
                  1. I don’t like mass shootings either. I dislike oppressive governments even less. An out of control government is a lot more dangerous and hard to get rid of than a mentally ill individual with a gun.
                  2. Nukes and Tanks are surprisingly ineffective for controlling individuals. Trump isn’t actually coherent enough to be a fascist;he’s just a dangerous loony that was elected only because the Democrat establishment went with someone wildly unpopular. Why did they do that and why didn’t the Republican establishment pull the cord on Trump early on while they could? Dunno. I will never understand people.
                  3. I don’t support Trump, but there have been very few slaves of any kind with access to weapons.
                  4. Actual analogs to brownshirts exist, but in the US. they are negligible, by which I mean their numbers are tiny.

                  I don’t own a gun and have no desire to do so, though my 95 year old mother keeps one. But when people want to prohibit my access to one because of mass shootings which continue largely due to the massive publicity given to shooters, it makes me antsy.

                  @Clif: Something people don’t often don’t realize is that owning a gun does not protect you from the government.

                  Trump and many other republican dumbasses say they want to arm teachers. You know who was both a teacher and gun owner? Philando Castille. A black man carrying a legal weapon who was shot 7 times at a fucking traffic stop because the officer “felt threatened” by a man still belted into his seat.

                  The officer has faced almost zero consequences, and the NRA has been utterly silent on the matter. This shit is already happening, and has been for years. They

                  And the reason the republicans didn’t bail on Trump is because he is merely a symptom, not the cause. There are far too many white supremacists in positions of authority, and far too many corrupt pieces of shit who have no interest in standing up to them.

        In other news, it really does sound like wedding vows/marriage proposal speak, and Joyce is using this awkwardness to try and tell Dorothy that she’ll always support and love her (it’s not awkward until viewed from Joyce’s perspective after being told it’s kind of really gay)

        The only thing that makes this “gay as fuck” is that Ruth is speaking to another female (Naomi). Otherwise, this is not all that far removed from the traditional “forsaking all others, until death do us part” vows.

      So, this lady Naomi has her sons and husband die and she tells her daughters-in-law (who came from another tribe) to go back to their original family and make new lives for themselves and leave a doddering old widow be. One (Oprah) obeys but the other (Ruth) doesn’t. That’s more or less Ruth 1:1-15.

      Which brings us to Ruth 1:16. [But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.”]

      My interpretation (and I’m not a biblical scholar or anything, I just pulled up Ruth 1 to read) is that Joyce is saying “We have different backgrounds, but now we’re family and I’m here for you.”

        As someone who is a Bible scholar, you’ve basically got it right and that makes sense for Joyce’s interpretation.

        The reason this sounds so much like a wedding to us is that it’s a statement of covenant loyalty and basically the only covenant relationship that still exists in our society is marriage (and even that only kinda sorta for many people). In the biblical context this is super important because Ruth becomes the great-grandmother of David, the key nation-building figure of the golden age of Israel, so having a story explaining why he gets to be the face of the nation when his great-grandma isn’t even Jewish is super important. This statement makes her Jewish. So, in-context, there’s nothing romantic about it (lesbian or straight), it’s purely ethnic/religious, and, in-context, all indicators are that both women are straight (both marry men, Ruth marries a second man after her first husband dies) and just have a healthy mother-daughter relationship, but it’s one of the few biblical pledges of covenant loyalty between two humans (rather than God and a person, or God and a nation) and especially between two women. People take most wedding verses out of context anyway, so no unusual liberties are taken sticking this one into a wedding 😛

            Meh, The Book (which, keep in mind, is what we call it too – that’s what “Bible” means, coming from the Greek ‘biblion’ meaning ‘piece of paper’ or ‘paper scroll’, or ‘collection of papers’) is just as important in Islamic theology than the Quran, which is a collection of sayings and scriptural interpretations by Mohammad and not even especially long – while a lot of Muslims would get furious at the comparison, the Q’ran is closer to the Talmud in content than anything else, it’s just that it was all composed by a single individual rather than generations of scholars. There is a lot of Biblical scholarship in the Muslim world, but it follows from the interpretations given in the Quran rather than those in, say, the Talmud or the various Christian traditions.

            My understanding is that most ‘copies of the Koran’ are actually Arabic translations of the Torah, the Psalms, several Gospels, and several other older Hebrew scriptures not included in the modern Torah, with the Quran added as an afterword serving as an scriptural interpretation key (and the translation of the Hebrew and Aramaic scriptures are probably a lot closer to the original Hebrew than any translation to any language outside of the Semitic family – I have been told that Modern Arabic is closer to Classical Hebrew than even Modern Hebrew, though I am not sure I buy that claim, and even if it s true, Modern Aramaic is probably closer still).

              As for Biblical scholarship, I will leave it to those who care about Joshua Magus & Co. to figure that out.

              Though I will add that IME, most Pagans – especially those of the more intellectual traditions such as Gardnerians, Thelemites, and of course, Discordian-Finaglists (All Hail Discordia) – often know the various forms of the Abrahamic scriptures better than those who claim to believe and follow them. However, this has less to do with Pagans being smarter than it does with the fact that most people take things they grew up with for granted. Few people of any faith who didn’t convert actually look at it closely unless they are dissatisfied with it or are of a particularly spiritual bent. Since almost all Pagans converted as adults, often after spending years of trying to understand and accept the faith they eventually rejected, it stands to reason that they actually, you know, read a lot about the religion they left.

          The biblical name is actually Orpah (the P and R are switched). According to some tale I heard sometime from who knows who, Oprah was supposed to be named Orpah, but somebody spelled it wrong on the birth certificate. Now obviously Oprah is such a well-known name that it’s hard to see the other spelling

      Ruth and Naomi are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Ruth marries Boaz not long after the quote. It is best understood as an example of Jewish by choice and not blood. So in context, not gay at all.

      Lots of women without power in the structure too, thus the expectation of Ruth going back to her father’s house after her husband and children die. Ruth instead chooses to stay with the m-i-l and ends up Jewish as a result.

      But there is a long tradition of taking texts out of context, especially by anti-gay bigots, so the reverse is fair play. If marriage is a spiritual commitment, then this is a great example of one.

        Yup. And considering the time not even remotely a block to relations. I think there’s something in the Bible about parents marrying the spouses of deceased offspring or something…? (I am so not a Bible expert so I may be way off base, but there’s all sorts of “if x happens thou shalt y” and a lot of that involves marrying.)
        But yeah, cousins were definitely fine, so why would any relation by marriage with all relatives being dead be a concern…?

              Not just to “continue your brother’s family line”, but essentially as a form of welfare. Widows tended to have a pretty rough time of it back in the day. Hooking them up with a new husband with a vested interest in the existing kids was a way to ensure support for them.

      As I understand it, Ruth was married to one of Naomi’s sons, so they are not genetically related. There was presumably an age difference . . . but whether that was important is a very subjective measure. As has been noted by other commenters, the pledge of loyalty/support was not necessarily romantic, but neither should we say it could not have been.

        Plus, people tended to marry young in those days. The age difference between them may not have been as much as the typical age difference between mothers-and-daughters-in-law nowadays.

I give it 50/50 that she knows perfectly well how Book of Ruth is used, and it’s her way to be progressive.

      Dorothy did a lot of research into deciding what religion (if any) she wanted to join, and she wants to be a progressive politician, so I think there are good odds of her checking what a lesbian wedding would be like (possible even inspired by Becky’s arrival).

        It could also be that it’s just something she happens to know, but it comes across (to me) as impressive in the way that it does when a piece of trivia that you know is suddenly relevant.

        I also did a lot of research into different religions when I was younger, and even once I got out of that phase would still find myself learning about Christianity because…well, you know. And there were times in my teens where I watched videos of lesbian weddings.

        I guess I’m in part surprised that I didn’t know it, but also, even with what you said, still impressed that Dorothy did.

                  It was the wrong kind of quotation mark (RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK) so maybe something is “correcting” your input by replacing standard quotation marks with “better ones” (better looking…).

        Didn’t she explicitly state her aim was to become the first female atheist president?

        Still, it makes sense to know the Bible to be clear about the facts theirin (recently overheard a women on the subway say to her 5-year-old that she didn’t believe in evolution because she doesn’t believe humans were descendant from apes – which is not what evolution theory says. I nearly said she should at least understand what a theory she denies actually says. It’s a common misconception.)

          Technically, you could say humans are descended from apes. Humans are apes and thus the last common ancestor of us and the other apes also would have been.
          We’re not descended from monkeys, which is the usual nonsense I’ve heard.

          And using the usual DoA time distortion, by the time Dorothy’s 35 and eligible, most likely either she won’t be the first female atheist president or she’ll be running for president of the wasteland that used to be America. 🙂

      Also why is Sierra smiling in panel 5. The smile makes sense in panel 6, but what is the reason for smiling in panel 5?

    Dungeons and Dumbing part 18

    Danny ran through a small path as he traced the giant wolf prints that littered the ground. He pulled out his sword as he heard a howling in front of him.

    Danny: I can’t believe I agreed to do this.

    Danny looked back for a moment and briefly saw a massive shadow in the blizzard covered sky.

    Danny: Jeez, I’ve had enough problems with girls watching me from the sky for a lifetime.

    Danny turns back and continues on his search ultimately coming across a giant wolf feasting on a woolly beast. Danny watches silently, as the wolf rips into its flesh and claws at its bleeding belly, lined with fat.

    Danny: I really can’t believe I agreed to do this.

    Danny unsheathed Joyce’s sword and pulled out Dorothy’s book. The wolf turned around and finally noticed him, its eyes grew red and it snarled.

    Danny: Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Fuck me, fuck me.

    Meanwhile back at the village.

    Joyce: I wonder how Danny’s doing?

    Dorothy: Well its Danny, so badly, but in a way that he inexplicably will pull himself out of.

    Danny dodged out of the way as the wolf came barreling towards him. Dorothy’s book flew out of his hands and was quickly buried by the snow and wind.

    Danny: Dammit. I can’t see a thing in this blizzard.

    The wolf comes bearing down once again and Danny swings at it with Joyce’s sword. the wolf howls in pain at the wound on its right front leg.

    Joyce: But what if he gets hurt?

    Dorothy: It doesn’t matter.

    Joyce: Why?

    The wolf butted with its head and knocked Danny into a tree. Blood spurted from Danny’s back pain shot through him.

    Danny: Damn.

    Suddenly a voice appears from above.

    Skadi: Danny, I don’t normally say this, but if it’s too much I can rescue you.

    Danny: Let me guess, you won’t let me into the temple then?

    Skadi: I’m sorry…

    Dorothy: Because he never fights for himself, and he would sooner die then fail us.

    Danny: Not yet.

    Danny struggles to his feet and points the sword at the wolf. He struggles to stand and his back continues to bleed. Slowly the blood makes it’s way through his thick clothing and dyes the wool.

    Skadi: What?

    Danny: Forget about helping me.

    Skadi: Heh, so you’re finally ready?

    Danny: yeah.

    Messy hair Dorothy is adorable, but also her current situation and watching her abandon all things in favor of schoolwork with no guarantee it’ll fix things makes me really really anxious.

    Also I don’t know very much about Sierra but all the places where she tries to take care of people in little ways while being very laid back and go-with-the-flow is very endearing.

    I think that it’s adorable that Joyce chose to put that particular scripture on the bag lunch. To her, it’s meant to be a declaration of unconditional friendship and a warning. She’s saying that she isn’t going to listen to Dorothy if she tells her to back off and let her study; she’s her friend and she’ll be with her when she needs her, even if she thinks that she doesn’t need her.

    _Winter Tide_ had “whither you go, I go” from woman B to woman C, whereas B was also rather touchy with C, and I was sure it was a stealth proposal. Then I looked it up and was less sure, especially given the context of the book, where ‘tribe’ isn’t somewhat appropriate.

    Still pretty touchy, and I’m rooting for the ship, but I don’t take it as certain.

    It’s about money. It always was, even the Civil War. ALL campaign contributions, fundraising dinners, lobbying, EVERYTHING has to be public. Transparency, as David Brin says repeatedly (http://davidbrin.blogspot.ca/) is essential to avoid a secretive clique of oligarchs increasing their stranglehold on the body politic. They will resist this with everything they can, of course, using anti-terrorist legislation to intimidate and silence opposition. Fortunately, the technology which makes possible the Big Brother state also makes possible sousveillance, the exposure of the corrupt. To repeat myself, it’s not too late, but it is extremely close.

      I mean, yeah, money’s important, but there’s no “secretive clique of oligarchs” running everything. There are multiple, mostly openly known, groups of rich bastards (and a few halfway decent ones) pursuing their own goals and often clashing with each other.
      And a decent chunk of the modern crazies in politics are actually true believers who’ve come up through the ranks of the conned. That’s one reason it’s so nuts. You’ve got actual politician who don’t understand that they’re just supposed to give lip service to the wacko ideas they sold their voters on and keep business running smoothly and collect their payoffs.
