The idea of Housing as a human right

threatens the Coven of Bureaucracy

Because it reminds our very souls:

That paying for housing

From our own meager ration

of dollars per hours

Is a crime against humanity.

It was a crime before the Coven made the cost too high

for us mere workers

It was a crime before the Coven made

the dollars too weak to reach

Their lofty prices.

Perhaps now that it has gone beyond

A Crime Against Humanity,

We should instead consider this intentional system

A Sin Against Us All

How would you punish

The Degenerate Coven of Bureaucracy?

How would you determine what each member deserves?

We have built our own system.

And when they cry out against us,

And they send their attack forces,

And they kidnap our neighbors,

All we will have left to say to them is

"All you had to do was pay us enough to live,"

As we burn them on the pyre they made us build

FOR THEM.

For those who may not know, the state of Arkansas usually has Christian prayer in public (and private) government meetings.

An example being the game and fish commission, link below.

If they can not force their ownership of water, they will take it by force, and take it right out from under us.

They are diverting computer parts for their greedy needs, but also to keep them out of the hands of the people, much like a shortage of paper and ink during war times.

"Everybody needs a thneed!"

And when the swamee swans can't sing due to the smoke in the air. And the brown barbaloots leave in order to find food again. And the last of the truffula trees has been chopped. Only then will we finally hear the screaming stop.

Donald Trump gets attacked by an eagle.

This eagle truly represents America. What a majestic symbol.

[lukcskywalkcrs]

It’s only fitting that this gets reblogged today

[rinokami]

This is the only eagle that deserves reblogging on the 4th

so, im a very non-violent person and I do believe violence should be a last resort

but my goodness are we at that last resort very often

punching Nazis isn’t enough, we gotta start throwing republicans into volcanos

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good

[0jamajos]

also let's take a moment to appreciate the picture of this man being arrested

"So my bail conditions were, between my arrest and my trial, were that I wasn't allowed to carry eggs in public." host laughs "Yeah, I know, and so that is in itself like so absurd that it's like right" Host: "I gotta know, is there like a provision for if you're going home from the store? Or are you just, are you just egg-less?" "So the copper who was literally just like making this up at the station says like 'Ok, so your bail condition is: you're not allowed within 500 meters of the king; you're not allowed to carry eggs in public' and then he goes like 'ah actually, like, what 'appens if he wants to buy some eggs?' Ok, so they changed it so it's like, 'You're allowed to carry eggs as long as you're going home from the shops and you've got the receipt" host laughs "And I think, that was more viral than me actually doing it, you know what I mean like, people were like, that's Britain for you, have you got a license for those eggs"

How I believe we should be splitting up jurisdictions in any given state. Especially in North America where water flows can heavily influence the weather...and the infrastructure maintenance of each area. Sure would be nice to have a predictable state maintenance budget, too bad there isn't a known way to plan for this kind of thing. Oh wait, indigenous ways already did this.....

i know a lot of people won’t know who this guy is but he’s running a company that’s building electric semi trucks because tesla sucks so bad and they named it Edison Motors because they’re stealing Tesla’s idea.

CW: religion, specifically American evangelical Christianity. If this advice helps you, cool, if it upsets you, I invite you to scroll on and forget about this post. Choose your battles friends.

If you are a former fundamentalist Christian or evangelical Christian (I'm American, that's my context here), and are now a practicing witch/wizard/spiritualist/what have you, please don't deny yourself the easy mental steps given to you by your former religion.

I've been thru my "all Christians are hateful bigots" phase, and the Jesus Fandom sucks in general, BUT:

The texts themselves are still powerful magicks.

The power of habit is the root of most rituals, which can seem counterintuitive, but I promise it makes sense when you think about the power of daily sanctification of oneself or one's home etc (ex: prayers for health, prayers for safe home)

Even if you don't believe the same things you used to, don't doubt the power in deep rooted beliefs, no matter how much you feel the urge to "burn them all the way down to your core so you are no longer tainted by shitty religious bigotry"-personal experience that one.

All that to say: whenever I feel I have killed an old version of myself, I tend to give myself a subconscious timer for processing my death before engaging in an enthusiastic rebirth. Not because of old guilt trips or other related emotional abuses i flicted by churches, but bcuz even as a spiritual wizard, there is comfort for me when embracing the familiar time frame of 3 days for personal processing and spiritual rest. I used to fight it, the natural inclination to follow old patterns of church, but in all honesty, I was sanctifying those patterns to a new belief, not dragging down my new beliefs with old and often harmful patterns.

The reason the phoenix burns before rising from its OWN ashes is bcuz the phoenix is a symbol of rebirth and renewal, not a symbol of killing and replacing with another being. Butterflies do something similar in that caterpillars turn into goo, then into a flying insect associated with the afterlife and with death and rebirth.

You don't have to destroy beyond recognition what hurt you, you're allowed to repurpose what you can. You can turn that sword into a scythe for harvests. You can beat that shield into a bowl shape and use it to hold all the apples you picked from your tree in your new home.

Don't throw yourself away just bcuz you don't like what somebody else forced you to be.

I'm sharing again bcuz it's October 2024, and this is still valid. I hope it reaches more people this time. I'm doing worlds better than when I wrote that above. And it took more than 3 days of rest but I did it!

Don't make your own mind be the enemy

Everyone tells about the phoenix,

Rebirth from flames and ashes.

Other more recent quotes have mentioned stars collapsing into nebulae, how explosive that death is.

But what of quiet respect for the slow decomposition of the body?

The way the body is preset to decompose from the inside out.

How the environment around the dead can alter the timeline for the process or even alter the process.

Rebirth happens from the dead. In order to understand one's new form, one must be aware of the circumstances that led to the death in the first place.

Did you burn down structures that no longer supported you?

Did you plant and tend a garden inside of your foundational beliefs? Patiently waiting for that final moment when they would grow through the roof and walls?

Or was your death, like mine, the result of years of searching for even one friend who felt the same loneliness as I? Did you also build a relationship with death, or a death adjacent entity? In the hopes that maybe they know the loneliness that bleeds you dry every day of every year?

Maybe you built relationships with spirits and entities that are far older than you, and will outlive you, as a last ditch effort to not be forgotten. Maybe building those relationships helped give you the courage to lay down in the grave you had been denying existed, and let it happen to you. Maybe, just maybe, you died a long time ago, but you weren't very good at it. And now that you're back, you're reborn, but a little touch of the grave always clings to you. You like the reminder that you are never truly alone. Some people seem to be able to sense it on you, and they don't like you bcuz of it. Some folks are drawn to it, and have no idea. And still others catch a whiff of it and say "ah, another one of my people".

No matter what death and rebirth metaphor you've been told, there are so many more ways to be reborn than through the fire and flames of the phoenix.

You never knew your birth parents, growing up across the country in orphanages. While alone you learned to cook and shared your meals across the world, eventually owning your own business. One day you suddenly find out what your parents were. They were Fae… you’ve fed thousands Fae Food.

The call from your New York restaurant comes at 2am their time which is a sensible 11pm your time.

“Boss, we need you,” the manager says. Hercules – the name he chose for himself when he first started working for you – doesn’t scare easily. He can’t, not while running three of your restaurants in the cesspool that is New York city. “Someone just drove a truck through the flagship.”

You’re already out of bed and out the door. “I’ll be there before the sun comes up.”

Hercules’ relief bleeds through the phone. “Thank you.”

“You’re my right arm, Hercules,” you say. You’re wearing the plaid pajama set Mercedes, your left arm and the woman who runs your LA restaurants, gave you for your birthday. You can buy clothes in New York. “Thank you.”

Your Thank yous are far and few between. They’ve always felt awkward in your mouth and worse leaving it. But Hercules is one of yours and it’s easy to volley the words back, to not accept his gratitude in the face of his loyalty. No thanks needed. You’re part of me.

Hercules swallows hard. He knows you well. “Boss.”

“Hercules.”

You hang up at the same time.

Los Angeles is still awake as you roar onto the streets. Your motorcycle is the same one you bought when your first restaurant started turning a profit. Prodigal. The name of it is carved into the body. The streets are damp from a rare spot of rain. You’d gotten caught in it while leaving Queen earlier. It had felt like a bad omen then and your lip curls as the moisture sprays up under your tires now.

You should always listen to your gut.
