New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream
The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.
My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.
I think this is the first time I've ever been wowed by "this ISN'T a painting"!
For the first time EVER in gymnastics, all black women on podium. LETS GO!!!!!!!
So one of my tweets kinda blew up. :v
there’s an essay to be written on how the settler-colonial logic of extermination for native wildlife and for native peoples are two parts of the same project
@decolonize-solidarity
The UK is one of the most nature depleted places on earth.
They killed/hunted all their predators.
I don’t doubt for a second that those two things are related.
And yeah we should drag colonization into it because while the UK ranks the bottom 10% of countries protecting nature, natives can claim being responsible for protecting 80% of ALL biodiversity
Our genocides are necessary for them to attack nature the way they do. Without our blood being spilled it wouldn’t be possible.
Look at Palestine and Sudan and the DRC and how Turtle Island tribes treat pipelines over the Mississippi River.
I think of the UK every fucking day. It’s the blueprint for colonizers. They want to do that every else too.
The UK barely even has wildflowers. Gone in my grandma’s lifetime.
Colonizers in general hunt or kill everything to extinction and then when it’s on its last legs the UK exploits them as class markers.
What you can learn about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) and it’s connection to human trafficking and pipelines in an afternoon will ruin you. And I won’t get into non;human things like elephant tusks being illegally trafficked.
There is no level of low colonizers haven’t reached because to colonize is to dehumanize everything that isn’t you. And if you have dehumanized something then you are not treating it humanely. You don’t care enough to.
Again, see how the indigenous populations are treated in the places I’ve mentioned.
It’s sick. Every one and every thing is simply there for the colonizer’s amusement and when it’s gone, well it didn’t really matter to them anyway because it wasn’t a colonizer like them. And they got a limited edition souvenir out of it. That’s what the struggle to stay alive is reduced to.
A knick knack in their house. Tribal drums and animal heads are no different from live, laugh, love signs.
I keep coming back to wondering whether colonizers even like being human. They’re so fucking determined to destroy everything that makes life worth living just to feel better than everyone else. It’s like hierarchy is their reason for living no matter how shitty the quality of life is.
And for what? When they did all their human and flora and fauna genocides what will all that death and destruction have been for? What’s the endgame you know? Like even for them?
Will they brag about having the last dreg of fresh air? Fresh fruit? Fresh water? Kill and backstab each other just to be the last one alive?
What do they win?
Will an empty planet finally be enough?
The UK an colonialism in general are genuine horrors to me as a human being who doesn’t see the people & environment around me as things I can treat however I want.
I’m probably misremembering important details and i apologize.
There was a bird species, Great Auks i think. They were native to Newfoundland. They were valuable for their feathers or something. They were hunted to extinction. The man who killed the last one killed it in its nest, then smashed its eggs. He wanted to be the one who killed the last one. He explicitly said as much. He bragged about it.
There was a revolutionary leader in the Congo i wanna say in the 1980s, stood up to the Belgian colonizers. He was captured and killed by Belgian police. I’ll avoid going into detail but his remains were repatriated to the Congo relatively recently. And by “his remains,” i mean one of his teeth. Belgian police destroyed the rest, intentionally, and kept that as a trophy.
There was a revolutionary leader in Algeria. He was a psychologist, a therapist, before he was a revolutionary. French colonial police were among his patients. These police confided in him that beating and torturing and murdering Algerians made the idea of murdering their fellow French people, fellow colonizers, enter their minds and persist. Interrogators, torturers, began abusing their wives and they came to this man, not begging for forgiveness for what they had done to Algerians. No. They wrote off violence towards Algerians as ok. That just wanted to be able to turn off their desire to inflict pain around fellow colonizers. They wanted a switch installed in their brains, a switch that could flip them from ‘violent enforcer’ to ‘gentle and loving family man.’ they didn’t care about the scars they were making in Algeria. They just wanted to leave the scars on Algerians and no one else.
I can’t help but conclude that some people just have a hole where their heart should be, and they think by stealing what’s in everyone else’s hearts that void might be filled. They’re wrong. But they’ll never realize it or admit it.
Sometimes I feel very much overwhelmed by witchcraft.
It's rarely just witchcraft alone, but everything that requires effort. Which happens. But I still struggle with finding small things to do in those moments. Not doing anything just makes me feel worse.
So here's a few VERY CASUAL & SIMPLE things I can do while rotting away in my apartment :
Make a funky tea ☕
I make it with frothed milk. It looks very fancy. Put a little cinnamon on top too! I try to pick my tea with intention & imagine myself in a lovely café. I doodle, I plan the week, I just write stuff. After every sip I can sigh very loudly, letting out the bad vibes.
Light a candle & talk to it 🕯️
Just pretending someone is there with me makes me feel better. Candles react very easily! Talking usually helps to clear the mind & candles are good for divination. Maybe the way it burns could tell me something. The conversation can also be with something else; a plant, a plushie, a cat
Do some streches 🧘
I've been obsessed with my posture for a few years now & I try to do some stretches daily. It's hard. But I always feel much better afterwards. I have a very vivid imagination as in I can easily picture stuff in my head & I like to imagine the bad energy leaving my body. Like black fog just pouring out of my hands, nose, mouth, feet..
I can literally roll out of bed, fall on the floor & start stretching. Or I can do it in the shower!
So that's all very simple & barely witchcraft, I feel so *blergh* & I just want to let it out. Maybe I'll help some people along the way.
ALSO, LAY DOWN ON THE FLOOR. THE COLD KITCHEN TILES. THE WOODEN BEDROOM. WHATEVER. THAT SHIT HEALS SOULS!
When did tarot become just about future spouses and love readings? What happened to the deep, introspective readings that help with self-improvement, personal growth, and valuable life advice? Lately, it seems like 70-80% of tarot readings are focused solely on predicting who your next partner will be or when you'll meet your future spouse.
I get it , it's normal to be curious about your future spouse. In today's world, it's become almost mainstream to seek out these kinds of answers. But here's the thing: before you can build a lasting relationship with someone else, you have to work on yourself. Without doing that inner work, even if you do meet your soulmate, the relationship might not last.
As a tarot reader, I’ve noticed how readings that focus on self-love, personal growth, or practical advice often get overlooked. They don’t receive as much attention or interaction, and they can easily get lost in the flood of love readings. But these readings are crucial because they lay the foundation for a truly fulfilling relationship. Self-love is more important than romantic love, and it’s the key to making any relationship thrive.
I’m not trying to be harsh, but ask yourself: how do you expect to meet your future spouse if you're not putting in the work on yourself? Watching endless love readings while doing nothing to improve your own life won’t bring you closer to the relationship you want. In fact, it might even be making your situation worse by keeping you stuck in a cycle of waiting and hoping without taking action.
To add to this conversation, I think the oversaturation of love-based readings ESPECIALLY the ones that just sound too good to be true, are a really great litmus test to play if you're wanting to find people on social media who are worth a follow i.e. you're trying to learn or just want to watch content relevant to your practice. Romantic readings are beautiful and insightful and absolutely add value to the craft! I love to do a romantic reading, and I love to receive them. They're fun!! But if you find yourself drawn to this topic and not to others, try to reframe what you like about tarot or divination in general. We love the thought of romance because we've internalized the idea that someone being in love with us is the utmost in compliments and validation. You know who else can give you compliments and validation? Your tarot deck. The rest of your spiritual practice.
can i get my feelings and my uterus removed all in one go actually i am so tired
““The mannerisms that help define gender - the way in which people walk,swing their hips, gesture with their hands, move their mouths and eyes when they talk, take up space - are all based upon how non disabled people move…The construct of gender depends not only upon the male body and female body, but also on the non disabled body.””

September is Bisexuality Visibility Month. Please be on the lookout for bisexual people when crossing the street, as we can go both ways.

The solution to homelessness is housing.
"We can't help homeless people. That costs money. Instead, we'll spend even more money to make them suffer more."
