do you support the war in vietnam?
ma’am this is a John Lennon/Paul McCartney erotica blog
and SCENE! that was my impersonation of what i think tumblr would be like in the late 1960’s. just to clarify this is a joke. this isn’t real. there is no beatles erotica here. it’s a bit. it’s a joke
this post is a failure because I was completely willing to accept both John/Paul fanblog and people demanding political positions on the Vietnam War in 2020 without question
ok, but what if we started audio books, but for fanfiction....
I want to take a girl to Barnes And Noble and get lost in the aisles of literature with her
Let me show you one of my favorite images on the internet: nuns performing “exorcism” on a very patient punk dude
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dbXr3GikQE
Haha
Little do they know, punk guys are the closest thing we have to angels
thats adorable
He just…..pats her hand.
Like “your doing great, keep it up.”
Like, he’s not even upset, he’s taking it with stride and amusement and I love him for that.
Punks are sweethearts.
you can clearly see him trying to invert her cross thats so funny
Just a heads up, this sin’t an exorcism, Nuns cannot do them and more so, they cannot be done in public. They are, in fact, blessing him
Omgg that is so much better thank you
THIS POST JUST GOT THOUSANDS OF TIMES BETTER
The inverted cross, or Petrine Cross, is a symbol of Saint Peter. He felt unworthy of dying the same way as Jesus, and asked to be crucified upside-down instead. To this day, the Vatican uses the inverted cross as a respectful holy symbol.
Atheists resigned!
A Witch’s Ingredients: Sand
Sand is an abundant resource that can be found across the world including along the coasts, through deserts and even in many people’s yards and gardens. Sand is rather easy to obtain and natural making it ideal for witchcraft. Though some types of sand may be harder to obtain, and more costly, than others, let this post be a guide on how to utilize it for its magical properties.
Types of Sand & Their Correspondences
Beach/Coastal Sand: calming, grounding, cleansing, connecting to the sea, self-love, protection and warding, motivation, memory, spiritual clarity, purification of the heart, easing pain, physical and spiritual strength, can represent both the elements of earth and water
Ocean Sand (from the ocean floor/deep sea): primordial energy, banishing negative emotions and energy, grounding, mental clarity, psychic clarity and strengthening, divination, guidance, ancient wisdom and power, connections to the sea and primordial waters, birth, creation, can represent both the elements of earth and water
Desert Sand: curses and removing energy from others, weakening, draining, banishing, grounding, mental clarity, physical health, enduring hardships, “drying up” love and past emotions, healing heartbreak, burying the past, often related to burial ceremonies
Volcanic Sand: destruction, intense energy, strength, death, rebirth, banishing, secrets or hidden messages, warding, baneful magic, offensive magic, often represents both earth and fire at once
River Sand/Silt: fertility, procreation, movement, flowing energy, travels, change
Lake/Pond Sand: the present, calmness, serenity, inner focus, self-reflection and meditation
Swamp/Wetland Sand: mystery, secret keeping, silencing lies and rumors, binding, curses related to becoming lost or emotional heaviness, often represents both water and earth at once, often related to animal magic specifically those that live in swamp land
Unearthed/Buried Sand: grounding, hidden power, addressing past issues and mistakes, overcoming controversy, self-discovery, introspection, emotional healing, moving on from past scars
Biogenic Sand/Bone Sand/Shell Sand: healing, moving on emotionally, remembrance but letting go of the pain and loss, honoring those lost (often at or to the sea), close connections to necromancy
Black Sand: protection, warding, banishing, relates to necromancy and spirit work
Pink Sand: love, beauty, youth, harmony, adjusting to change, remembering the past and lost loved ones, rebirth, emotional and mental healing, forgiveness of self and others
Red Sand: strength, courage, valor, relates to fire rather than earth
Yellow Sand: divination, focus, improving memory and skills, mental health, grounding and centering, represents both earth and air elements sometimes both at once
White Sand: purity, cleansing, protection, wisdom, preparing for change, physical and emotional balance, harmonizes all aspects of oneself
Combinations of Sand and Other Ingredients
Sand and Soil: grounding, balance, cleansing, protection of loved ones and family
Sand and Salt: change, growing power, dreams, purification, warding, protection, longevity
Sand and Ash: remembrance, the past, divination
Sand and Clay: change, mental fortitude
Sand and Kelp/Seaweed: beauty, youth, birth, fertility, the ocean
The History
Not much history on the use of sand in magic from what I can find that is a reliable source, but I was able to find some bits about its use.
Sand has been used in connections to rituals for the dead and in burial practices in many different cultures to a varying degree. In some sand was used for burying the deceased such as very early Ancient Egypt for its mummification properties before better mummification methods were invented and utilized. Placing sand into graves or coffins of the deceased somethings as a means to connect them to their homelands if that person was traveling into foreign lands or countries. Some stories speak about mixing the ashes of the dead with sand to be kept in the home. Other stories tell of people mixes ashes from fires or the hearth with sand and casting it out into the sea for lost sailors who could not be brought home.
Sand was also used historical in some types of spell jars and vessels. In some places sand was put into jars and bottles and given to sailors to keep them connected to home even when sailing. Others said carrying sand could protect one from being lost at sea or from disaster, likely where the history of sand being used for protection properties came from. It has also been used in witch’s bottles and for burying spells for varying purposes. Some cultures would bury offerings to deities into the sand of beaches or deserts.
Modern Use
Sand is still a common ingredient for many sea witches and worshipers of ocean related deities to utilize in their craft and in their altars. Deities commonly related to sand are Poseidon, Aphrodite, Psamathe, Thalassa, Aegir, Neptune and Veles. Sand is also often used in altars to represent either earth or water when representing the cardinal directions or the 4 elements. Some will use sand to represent both in cases of smaller altars.
Modernly, sand is often used in spell jars and bottles when used in spellwork or as a vessel to charge, cleanse and bury objects or tools such as crystals, poppets, amulets and trinkets. Sea witches or witches with accesses to large amount of sand will often use it for grounding and circle casting. Some will use it for runes and sigils as well.
Storing Sand
For those wishing to store and use collected sand ensure that there is nothing undesirable in it - garbage, sharp bits of glass, decomposing fish or animals, insects etc. Shift it thoroughly to ensure anything that could be potentially dangerous is removed and if needed properly disposed of. Once the sand has been shifted ensure it is dry before you seal it into anything.
Wet sand can house bacteria and mold - which can also smell quite foul when the container is opened again. You can use the sun to dry it or indoor heaters at a safe distance. Spread it out thin and flat to help ensure it is thoroughly dried if it is damp or wet.
Once dried the best way to store sand is inside of glass or ceramic vessels. Jars and bottles are the most ideal. Ensure that they are sealed tightly to ensure no spillage or condensation can get inside.

So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history.
Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.
This is really great??

We used it in my LGBT history class and it’s SO WONDERFUL I LOVE it PLEASE READ at least some chapters. It has photos and sources and goes into detail in footnotes when it doesn’t have time for a tangent.
a chapterbook: *came with a stitched in ribbon bookmark, had a cloth spine, had those rough edged finished pages, or came with a map*
8 year old me: i am a 500 year old librarian and this is the most valuable book in my collection. i rescued it myself from a castle as it burned to the ground. *gingerly runs my little grubby hands down its spine and gazes wistfully out of the school bus window* i am the keeper of all civilization’s knowledge
im crying over this remy ratatouille sculpt made in pre production
I love this lipstick and it smells like roses
you’re so pretty !!
also whats the song btw does anyone know
Thank you so much! It's 'Decode' by the band Paramore!
What brand is that lipstick???
It's a Revolution Diamond Lustre lipstick! The shade is called Pleased.
I wish you could see the details better cause every single sparkle on it is visible and it legitimately smells and feels like rose oil. It's so soft, and it's a vegan product too.
Watch all of your followers buy this untill its out of stock
And it's not even a sponsored post, I bought it myself since it was on sale for like $6 🤣! Accidental influencer 😳😳.
kind of unsexy that we live in an economy where so many people have to routinely pretend to like and support mediocre girl power action movies because otherwise if the movie flops then the producers will blame the fact it’s female-led rather than the fact it’s just a subpar movie
Imagine giving pedophiles money so they dont hate women as much or whatever the end goal is here
Okay so we know that Hakoda and Iroh basically adopted the gaang after the war, but consider this: the Earth Rumble lineup realizing that Toph is actually this unsupervised 12 year old without positive parental figures and deciding that they’re all going to adopt her.
Consider this: after the war Toph goes back to Earth Rumble to be the champ and without Xin Fu, the Earth Rumble lineup goes on tour on their own and Toph goes with them. It takes a few months since she’s used to taking care of herself, but one day they’re making her breakfast and stuff and she realizes ‘holy shit I have six himbo dads’
THE BOULDER FEELS LIKE WE SHOULD BE ENFORCING STRICT BEDTIMES
Every time they try to get Toph to do something, she challenges them to a fight and says that if they win, she’ll go to bed/do a chore/whatever. Despite the fact that they have never once beaten her, her Himbo Dads fall for it every single time.
THE BOULDER THINKS THAT THE BLIND BANDIT SHOULD EAT HER VEGETABLES
well the blind bandit thinks that the boulder should try and make me
*narrows eyes* OH IT IS OOOOONNNN
Ok I feel like I’ve reblogged this a dozen times but I just thought of something
One day they do their normal routine, in fact the dads challenge Toph before even requesting that she go to sleep and she gladly accepts as usual. However, today Toph loses. The dads are bewildered as Toph promptly goes to sleep without a whisper of an arguement.
They sit around the fire talking while Toph is asleep. Everyone knows what day it is, but no ones bothered mentioning it.
Its fathers day.
Maui is not obese
Maui is a powerful demigod. Big and strong and… oh, you think he looks fat?
That’s probably because you’ve been conditioned by the media to accept this
as what strong and fit looks like. Amiright?
Sadly… these guys are not all that strong. Yeah, they got muscles… but they aren’t built in a useful way. They are built for looks and that’s about it.
This…
is a strong guy. Actually a competitor in the Strongman competition. But… his tummy sticks out and he doesn’t look like a Dorito.
You know who else is strong?
These guys…
And Maui…
Look at those arms, omg. And that solid, sturdy torso. You can see a shadow where his meat covers his ribs, but he doesn’t look like any slouch to me.
And this guy…
That’s Dwayne Johnson’s grandfather. When the Disney animators showed him their sketches of Maui, he pulled out a picture of his grandfather and showed it to them because he was amazed how similar they looked. This dude was also a pro wrestler.
There’s actually a great infographic about ab muscles and stuff over HERE. but this is the part i want to show you.
Now… look at Maui again.
That thickness don’t move like fat. It doesn’t jiggle and he’s able to flex it. Look at how it sits on his body. It doesn’t sag… he doesn’t have a gut. There’s even a slight V shape to his torso.
It’s just big and not ‘defined’.
And people aren’t used to that.
(sorry, this isn’t the most organized post… i kinda just let it all spill out)
