    I’d heard that The Righteous Gemstones was a good show but I’d never thought to give it a shot. I thought the megachurch satire would be lost on me, not being from the US where this stuff is rife. I blasted through season 1 and it is great. Very much enjoying it.

    They seem to have a running joke of making sure to get at least 1 exposed penis in a shot every episode. So if you’re not into that, or if you are, now you know. There’s doodles to be found here. Various real dude doodles not just porn star hogs too, which is nice for representation. You don’t see that a lot.

      Huh, might give it a shot. Megachurches interest the fuck out of me.

      It’s why I watch Fundie Fridays on YouTube. They talk about Christian fundamentalism and right wing politics while doing their makeup. Though Jen, the main person, hasn’t been doing their makeup recently, and their partner does videos about right-wing politics. Obviously it’s all through an American lens, but still very interesting and sad too.
