gotta love looking back on this a week or so of tumblr helpol drama later and just... laughing my ass off
I hate a lot of terms adjacent to HelPol spaces. So many of them are indicative of 1. Being raised with Christianity 2. Lack of deconstruction of those beliefs and 3. Utter lack of research (what I call Tik-tokisms)
I do not like the terms deity, misuse of the term “altar”, ever using patron, “my gods or goddesses”, devotee, “reach out” (as in a spirit is reaching out), “talking to the gods”, offending the gods.
I’ve got some REALLLY unpopular opinions about Ares, some primordial spirits, Khaos, like.
I am selective about the term “god”, (Theos and Theoí are commonly more appropriate to my conversations). I’m also slightly apprehensive around the phrase “work with”, but that being said I don’t care as much.
it's not fucking about hating femaleness you absolute twit, but also yes people do get way fucking enraged about menstrual magic.
you can practice menstrual magic all you fucking what without hurting a damn soul (unless that's the intention ofc, anti-threefold here) but the second you make menstrual magic a REQUIREMENT for "proper" magic
you become a TERF
menstrual magic is yet another spell component that not everyone has access to because not all women menstruate, and some men do. that's it. if you use it, good for you. if you don't, good for you.
you do not get to decide how others walk their path, and if you are going to trash talk someone's magical methods, go stick your head back in your cave and yell, your echo will agree with you more
I think it’s crazy how many people will get upset in the witchcraft community about menstrual work of any kind. Because you know, it’s terfy or something.
I have seen so many videos where women try their best to talk about menstrual work without making TRAs mad. But they get mad anyway.
It seems like some people just really hate femaleness, and any one who would dare to see it in a positive light. And males will hate anything they can’t be a part of it seems.
hey relax for a second and watch the cat
tape can be taken down. a gluestick is more transportable, lasts longer, and cannot be peeled off once soaked into the paper.
question! if a workplace is violating labor laws (which they often are) is there anything that prevents an employee from:
printing out copies of the laws being violated, maybe with helpful highlights/summaries
(and a helpful reporting hotline, if possible)
taping these signs anonymously in the employee bathroom stalls
i know retaliation is something many workers worry about, but bathrooms at least still don't have security cameras. so is this a practical and anonymous thing to do? and if so, why isn't it more common?
I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.
I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
yall.
do you think Christians don’t believe in their god? or haven’t all this time? you think they slaughtered billions for a made up man in the sky?
no
they firmly truly believe(d) their god exists and is present and real. why the fuck would the ancient Greeks write all this shit down if they didn’t believe it?
Were there any specific individuals in ancient Greece who believed in the reality of their gods? How do we know about their beliefs?
Yeah, for sure—tons of people in ancient Greece actually believed the gods were real, not just stories. We know this from stuff they wrote, like hymns, plays, and even letters to the gods on little offerings. I’m a Hellenic polytheist myself, and honestly, reading their words makes it super clear they had real devotion, not just myth-making.
That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.
