Cunt At The Crossroads

BLACK, Queer, Disabled/Neurodivergent Hoodoo practitioner/historian here to dispel myths and misconceptions about the first African American religion, and whatever else I feel like doing. Things that are NOT tolerated here: racism, colorism, anti-Blackness, anti-African American sentiments, homo/queerphobia, transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, xenophobia, whorephobia, respectability politics, etc. Minors and non-Black folks: DO NOT INTERACT

Ok so first things first, this is meant to be an educational platform for BLACK PEOPLE about the African-American religious tradition of Hoodoo. For years I have seen A LOT of misinformation about Hoodoo online, especially on this particular site. It really started to annoy me, so I decided that instead of complaining or arguing in the comments, I would do something about it. Everything I post here will either be correct information about Hoodoo, or examples of incorrect info with corrective commentary. If you do not come here with a willingness to LEARN and better UNDERSTAND, and you do not intent to read posts fully, you’ll have a rough time on this here blog. Some things I say may challenge previously held beliefs about this tradition, and that may make you uncomfortable. That’s ok. Discomfort is an invitation to learn. Whether you accept the invitation or not is up to you. That being said, I don’t argue in the comments or anywhere else. I said what I said. Discourse can happen, but come correct and with respect. I’ll do the same. You’ll probably find a lot of reposts here before I begin writing my own content, cuz there are some great people who’ve already written wonderful and reputable things about the tradition, and I want to uplift those people’s work. You’ll likely find reposts I agree with tagged #ccapproved. Ok that’s all for now. May the Ancestors bless ya ✨

Bringing back ye old crowdfunding graphic because my mother and I are very desperately needing help right now. I can't find work or get the public assistance I need and she will literally be served an eviction noticed by the end of next week if she is unable to cover her rent.

I have no means of gaining income right now. My mother is disabled and can only work her alloted 40 hours per week, nothing more and nothing less. I hate to beg, but I really don't know what else to do.

My mom just texted me to tell me that she was given a three day notice to leave her property. I desperately need as many donations as possible in the next 24 hours to prevent this.

I sent the $300 to her but apparently that doesn't cover her late fees.

She has $800, they need $1,110 in order for her to be current.

Please help.

My best friend was kind enough to make this flyer for me to help me crowdfund. I would sincerely appreciate it if yall could share and donate if you're able🙏🏽

I am once again asking for monies 😩

I've been interviewing for so many jobs in the last two months, putting in as many apps as possible but I have not had any luck. I have about 1k worth of bills to pay and I'm severely overwhelmed. I live in Ohio, I cannot afford to have my gas turned off. Please share this and donate if at all possible. It's okay to share outside of Tumblr. I just need help. Thank you to my mooties who donated the last time I made a post, ily 🥺

Might all three Magic Mike films be about challenging the audiences idea of traditional masculinity, providing examples of healthy homosocialism while also exploring the darkside of the adult entertainment business, the pitfalls of success, destigmatizing the sexual desires of women, the struggles of blue collar workers (and the fact that they overlap with those of sex workers), the impact of the 2008 recession on those very same demographics, capitalism and its impact on interpersonal relationships, knowing your worth and setting boundaries around that, vulnerability, and lastly, found family??

My dad has a massive vegetable garden and it is his life. Whenever I ask how things are going, he tells me about the garden. Periodically he will text me a picture of the things he's harvested and ask when I'm coming to pick them up. And for a while, the biggest bit of garden gossip has been his nemesis, the gopher. This gopher was consistently ruining his day by pilfering the best of everything just before my dad could harvest it. Anytime I talked to him, all he had to tell me about was "that damned gopher." He dreamt about killing the gopher, his truest enemy. He tried to train the dog to hunt the gopher, but the dog is a pacifist. He led some of the barn cats to the holes, but the barn cats have unionized and refused his offered rate. He then laid no-kill traps (can't risk having poison near the crops) with eventual gophercide in mind, but then suddenly he was faced with a cute and terrified animal and didn't have the heart. He released it. "He was so scared, he'll never come back." The gopher was back the next day, with a vengeance. That was some weeks ago. Today, my dad sent me pictures of his garden, and I saw a squash gently laid by the gopher's hole, like a package left on the doorstep. I said "Dad, what's that squash doing there by the gopher hole?" He said "Oh, he likes squash best." In an effort to appease the gopher, my father now gives him a little squash everyday, like leaving an offering for a garden spirit. This apparently works well as a compromise; the gopher has stopped stealing, content to have his meals delivered to his door.

THIS. The sharp return to ultra-conservative Cishet patriarchal archetypes (not that it really ever left) is not lost on me and it can/does permeate spiritual spaces. I’d say more, but y’all like to plagiarize 🙃

we really can’t overstate how damaging it has been to indoctrinate the public with the idea that if they let themselves eat as much as they want, they’ll eat too much. human bodies, when permitted over the long term to eat as much as they want, actually get really, really good at calibrating their hunger and satiety, and will over time eat exactly the right amount for themselves. the common conception of a balanced eater as a minimal or restrained eater is absolutely wrong. balanced eaters eat quite a lot (compared to diet cultural ideas about right intake amounts), and they do so consistently and permanently. healthy, balanced eating isn’t some tightrope walk, it’s a gigantic net of total permission to eat.

[cuntatthecrossroads]

This is 100% true. I used to eat a ton when I was a kid/teen, I was seemingly a bottomless pit, but then in my early 20s, I started to get less and less hungry, and the amount I was able to fit in my stomach at one time decreased. People always assume that because I am fat, I prefer larger meals, and honestly I WOULD like to eat more, but I just…can’t lol.
