You really have to give the architect a 5 star thumbs up for his vision in building this place …
the town’s name is dixon
the longer you look at it the funnier it gets
Dude, this is the city I was born in. I know exactly which building that is, I HAVE BEEN TO THIS BUILDING, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE FROM ABOVE
I had to google if it was real and found an article about the church and
i’m dying
A spokesman for an Illinois Christian Science church that looks like a penis when viewed from above has come out of the woodwork to decry the building’s newfound Internet fame.
“We didn’t design it to be seen from above,” Scott Shepherd told SaukValley.com last week. Local architect John McLane, who did not design the church, told the site he believes it’s “a little bit of a stretch” to claim that the aerial view of the structure looks like a penis. We’ll let you decide for yourself:
The church, which is located in the town of Dixon (indeed), was designed by an architect who McLane guesses “probably” designed it that way by accident, according to SaukValley.com. Shepherd noted that the shape makes sense for the needs of the church because it allows for ample natural light as well as space for a sanctuary.
This is terrifying and made me realize these aren’t just dumb/unmonitored kids being preyed on? The pedophiles have evolved 🤮
re-reblogging because that reddit post is HORRIFYING. there’s a lengthy update edited in above the original text, so ctrl+F “throwaway” if you want to read from the beginning. if you do read the update first, useful context is that the harassed classmate had been baited into an unsuccessful suicide attempt, and reddit OP’s daughter had been groomed by a self-proclaimed “safe adult” into both the harassment campaign and a bunch of highly inappropriate personal conversations in a cultlike private Discord server.
the whole thing is complete outsider POV on the backdrop of terminally-online drama; reddit OP previously knew nothing about fandom subcultures, let alone “shipping” or “antishipping.” here, IMO, is the money quote:
[The FBI] told us there’s been case that don’t involve the fandom stuff they’ve delt with where groomers will try to be the only “safe adult” and will send minors things to “report” while they themselves are already sex offenders. The grooming tactic of trying to convince a child everyone around them is a groomer for a very arbitrary reason and they are safe is becoming incredibly common now a days. And I urge parents: if you have a small age gap with your spouse, to please be wary of your child starts acting strange about it. If you’re an artist and they act very off about certain things you create that are child friendly, be concerned. If you’re child calls anything that is normal “creepy” or “predatory” despite it being normal, take their phone. My child showed no warning signs but I can’t imagine how parents think their kids are just going through a phase and care about something weird or just dismiss it as a “Gen Z thing” but I am not the only one who’s been through this.
I asked her why she did this and once again told me, being completely serious, “Because (Said girl) is a pedophile”. I asked why she felt that way, and straight faced, once again, told me exactly what the principal did. She believed the girl she had been harassing should “Be put in prison” and was a pedophile because she enjoyed art of these characters together depicted as a couple but the police won’t do anything so she needed to take it into her own hands.
Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP.
this is going around twitter rn but im also super curious: please tell me your top four comfort movies that you’re always down to watch bc my friend thinks mine are ridiculous and now we’ve realised everyone’s version of “comfort” is hilariously different
