I can’t believe I live in the timeline where the Luftwaffe is singing “All I Want For Christmas is You”

The Jedi Mandate
*sourced from wookiepedia.
The Code: a simplified text that would be utterly memorized by every Jedi. These are the bare bones, the simplified ideas that bind all Jedi teachings.
There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; There is serenity.
There is no death; there is only the Force.
A Jedi does not act for personal power or wealth but seeks knowledge and enlightenment.
A Jedi never acts from hatred, anger, fear, or aggression but acts when calm and at peace with the Force.
Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
Jedi use the powers to defend and to protect, never to attack others.
Jedi respect life, in any form.
Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.
The Crystal Code
The crystal is the heart of the blade.
The heart is the crystal of the Jedi.
The Jedi is the crystal of the Force.
The Force is the blade of the heart.
All are intertwined.
The crystal, the blade, the Jedi.
You are one.
The Tenants: more specific rules to abide. Some young Jedi will not have memorized all of these, but as a knight, they should be well ingrained.
- The Jedi are the guardians of civilization, yet do not allow civilization to destroy needlessly.
- A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for aggression or personal gain.
- The lightsaber is the symbol of the members of the Jedi Order.
- If a Jedi ignites his lightsaber, he must be ready to take a life.
- Jedi do not marry (with some exceptions), in order to avoid attachment and—according to Vergere—so as not to create dynasties of those strong in the Force.
- Jedi respect each other, and all other life forms.
- Jedi must put the needs of the community above the needs of individuals.
- A Jedi must protect the weak and defenseless from evil.
- Jedi must always cooperate in battle or crisis.
- Jedi must not have wants; self-reliance must be shown.
- Jedi are forbidden from ruling others.
- A Jedi Master may not have more than one Padawan.
- A Jedi will not kill an unarmed opponent.
- A Jedi will not take revenge.
- A Jedi does not cling to the past.
- The Jedi do not believe in killing their prisoners.
- A Jedi does not act for personal power.
Following the Code: the qualities needed in order to follow the Jedi path. These are more to do with actionable self determination and how one must conduct themselves as a Jedi. The nitty gritty stuff that many can slip up on, even the masters.
This is Doris Pollas, the cofounder of the organisation now known as lgbt+ Denmark which by being founded in 1948 is one of the oldest if not the oldest queer organisation in the world.
Doris lived in a farm in Jutland as a child. She was always butch and figured out she was a lesbian in her teens. When she heard about a club in copenhagen where boys kissed boys and girls kissed girls she went just some months after and it was through that club she started a paper connecting queer people all up to seventies and co founded lgbt+ Denmark.
She is now 97 year and wishes for every queer person to have an as loving and accepting family as she did.
I don’t see a lot of older gays from my country, so learning about Doris, a masc lesbian, was really nice.
