Simple Empath Protections & Cleansing
This one is for my introverts, empaths, and anyone who feels easily drained by socializing or in crowds. Don't get me wrong, I love people, but I regularly get social-hangovers from interacting with too many people. I often feel other people's emotions, and by the end of the day, I have no energy left for myself. Here are the ways I've learned to deal with this:
🫧 Bubble of Protection. If you've never tried to cast one before, I've linked to my favorite guided visualization on Insight Timer for you to try out.
🫧 Wear protective amulets & crystals. I remember the first time I was presented with an evil eye bracelet. One of my friends, who happens to be from Turkey, gave it to me, telling me he thinks I needed it and that it wards against the evil eye. After a month of wearing it, I found the bead cracked. Devastated & embarrassed, I told him what happened. He smiled and assured me that the bracelet worked how it was meant to, breaking once it's taken a hit in your protection. Ever since I've worn one.
🫧 Wear protective oils, like my classic Sun Oil, or anything that represents protection to you.
Okay, so what if I forgot or these didn't work?
🫧 Moonwater spray, to cleanse other people's energies off of you. I do this one first thing when I come home after being in large crowds or feeling bad vibes. PS. Don't forget to spray your back!
🫧 Epsom salt bath to recharge your energy. This is my number one social-hangover remedy. I'll add clear quartz around the bath to help charge me up. If bath isn't an option for you, sprinkle the epsom salts on the shower floor and stand on them to feel the charging & energy cleansing effects of the salt.
🫧 Nightly incantation to release all energy that is not at home. This is a prayer I found online years ago that you may use or take as inspiration,
"Before I lay me down to sleep, I release all energies that are not mine to keep. May no hostle outside forces linger here. I call forth my protection and calmness to help ease me through the night. Sacred guides, please guard my body & spirit til morning light."
🫧 Forest bathing!!! If all else fails, go to the woods! Lay down in the grass (or on a blanket) and feel the connection with Mother Earth. Listen to the nature sounds, smell the trees, watch the birds in the sky, and relax. Let Gaia cleanse and recharge you.
I'm always looking to expand on this topic, so if you have any good tips, please reblog/comment your addition! xoxo 🏹
Energy Vampires vs. Dark Entities: Spotting the Difference ☽ ⛤ ☾
What Are Energy Vampires?
Energy Vampires are LIVING people who drain your emotional energy through their interactions with you. They leave you feeling completely exhausted after spending time together, often without even realizing the impact they're having.
These individuals typically lack self-awareness about their draining behavior and tend to feed off attention, drama, and emotional reactions from others. The good news is that energy vampires can often be managed through setting clear boundaries and limiting your exposure to their draining energy.
What Are Dark Entities?
Dark Entities are NON-PHYSICAL beings that exist in the spiritual realm and can attach themselves to your energy field. Unlike energy vampires, these entities work from within, creating persistent negative thoughts and influencing your emotions on a deeper level. They tend to resist positive energy work and spiritual practices, making them more challenging to deal with than human energy drains. Dark entities typically require intentional spiritual cleansing and protection work to fully remove their influence from your life.
Key Differences - The Source
Energy Vampires drain you through human relationships and social interactions. You'll notice the exhaustion specifically after conversations or time spent with certain people. The drain is external and tied to your interpersonal connections.
Dark Entities operate from the spiritual realm through energy attachments that influence you internally. Their impact isn't tied to specific people or conversations, but rather comes from within your own energy field and mental space.
How They Affect You
Energy Vampires make you feel tired and drained specifically after interactions with certain people. You'll notice that drama and chaos seem to follow these individuals wherever they go. The relief comes when you're physically away from them, and your energy naturally starts to restore itself.
Dark Entities create a constant heavy feeling that's hard to shake, regardless of who you're with or where you are. They generate intrusive negative thoughts that feel foreign to your usual thinking patterns, and the oppressive energy persists even when you're alone or in positive environments.
Red Flags to Watch For
Energy Vampire Signs include people who always position themselves as the victim in every situation, never show genuine interest in your life or well-being, and seem to create chaos and drama wherever they go. They're masters of guilt trips and emotional manipulation, using these tactics to keep you engaged and feeding their need for attention.
Dark Entity Signs manifest as sudden, unexplained personality changes that feel out of character for you. You might experience waves of fear or anxiety that seem to come from nowhere, along with a persistent feeling that you're "not quite yourself." These entities often create resistance when you try to engage in positive spiritual practices or self-care routines.
Protection Methods
For Energy Vampires, protection comes through setting and maintaining clear boundaries with the people who drain you. Limit the amount of time you spend with them, refuse to engage in their drama or negativity, and practice confidently saying "no" to their demands. Protecting your energy isn't selfish; it's necessary for your well-being.
For Dark Entities, protection requires more spiritual approaches like regular energy cleansing rituals and protective visualizations. Burning sage or palo santo can help clear negative energy from your space, while seeking guidance from experienced spiritual practitioners can provide personalized protection strategies for your specific situation.

I love this post because the replies are like "for anyone who doesn't know what nestle did, they benefited from [insert human rights violation here]" but nestle has done SO many fucked up things you get a different topic in every comment
Nestle has:
Drained water from places suffering from drought for absolute pennies.
Made African mothers dependent on their milk formula, which they gave for free, until their milk dried up. Then they required them to purchase it, mothers could not afford it, mixed in too little to fulfill nutrient needs, and mixed it with polluted water. Children died.
Used slavery to produce their cocoa.
Pushed for water to be considered a “want” not a “need” and is at the forefront of arguments that water is not a human right.
Poisoned Chinese infants with melamine in their milk formula.
Demanded Ethiopia pay a debt owed to Nestle, during a FAMINE.
Price-fixed food items.
Contributed to deforestation for their cocoa farming.
The worst thing is, Nestle owns TONS of other brands, making it difficult to avoid for certain products.
Nestlé is LITERALLY the largest food company in the world and have one of the worst track records. Pls avoid their products if you can

I randomly dislocated and fractured my knee back in August and as such was unable to work for four months. While I have been working again since January, the fact that I have missed out on four months worth of income means that I am still struggling with payments
My original goal is $3,000 of which I have so far raised $800

The AI being hyped right now is not AI at all. It's really important that we all acknowledge this, that the world is selling itself a multi- billion-dollar lemon: predictive text engines that have nothing intelligent about them. They're giant sorting machines, which is why they're so good at identifying patterns in scientific research, and could genuinely advance medicine in wonderful ways. But what they cannot do is think, and as such, it's a collective mass-delusion that these systems have any use in our day-to-day lives beyond plagiarism.
REMINDER TO CHECK YOUR BALLS

3. familiarize yourself with the spermatic cord and epididymis, tube like structures that connect on the back side of each testicle
4. feel for lumps, change in size or irregularities, it is normal for one testis to be slightly larger than the other

🌞📝when you up in the morning, write out all the junk in your head. Clear out overwhelming thoughts. This helps me focus on what I want to accomplish that day.

🩷🔮Sing a love song to yourself.
🖤🔮Starve anything that takes from you and doesn’t reciprocate. Friends,Family,Co-workers,Partners. You’ve done enough, given enough. No more olive branches or extending of hands.

🖤🔮Vampire and siren energy are definitely intertwined with each other, seductive energy, attraction, beauty, mystery, mystic. Study this and counter parts Faires/mermaids.
💖🔮Do egg cleanses.
🔮💖Wear lingerie under clothes and sleep with lingerie on for better attraction energy.
💖🔮Don’t constantly think about spells and rituals,let it have time to get sent out into the universe.
💖Bring yourself to the table you are enough.
🩷🔮Copper is a conductor of energy, wear copper rings and charge them with intentions of what u want.
🖤🔮If you are calm and collected and someone calls you aggressive or combative to throw you off, transmute that energy right back to them and say:
“If me speaking my mind the best way I know how, and me translating it to you the best way I know how to triggers you in any kind of way, then it is you who is sensitive.”
“You want to hear it in YOUR way fit to how YOU feel, and that cannot always be the case.”
“ If you feel defensive to my zero offense. That’s something you should work on before starting conversations with other people.”
I love doing these and it seems like many are enjoying, thank you for your support, hope some of these prompts help you!
✧ Perfume as Magic, Not Just Scent ✧
Perfume isn’t just something you wear, it’s something you become.
Every time you put it on, you’re layering intention over your body. You’re deciding how you want to be perceived, how you want to feel, what kind of energy follows you into a room.
That’s literally spellwork.
✧ Why perfume works in witchcraft
Scent goes straight to the subconscious. It bypasses logic and hits memory, emotion, attraction.
That’s why one smell can remind you of a person instantly, or shift your mood without you even realising.
When you choose a perfume with intention, you’re not just smelling good, you’re programming your energy.
✧ How to use perfume as a ritual
It doesn’t need to be complicated. The power is in how you apply it.
• Spray on pulse points and set an intention
• Take a second before leaving the house to decide who you are that day
• Reapply when your energy feels off or drained
• Use different scents for different versions of yourself
Think of it like this:
you’re not “putting perfume on”, you’re stepping into a version of yourself.
✧ Matching scent to intention
Instead of random choices, start being intentional:
Sweet / gourmand (vanilla, sugar, custard)
→ attraction, comfort, softness, being wanted
Floral (rose, jasmine, gardenia)
→ love, femininity, confidence, emotional openness
Citrus (lemon, mandarin, orange)
→ energy, motivation, clarity, fresh starts
Herbal (lavender, rosemary, mint)
→ calm, protection, mental clarity
Warm / spicy (cinnamon, clove, amber)
→ power, confidence, magnetism, money energy
✧ Layering your energy
You can layer perfumes the same way you layer spells.
Soft + sweet → innocent but irresistible
Floral + spice → confident, magnetic, slightly dangerous
Citrus + herbal → clean, focused, untouchable
You’re building an aura people can feel before they even understand it.
✧ Everyday glamour as ritual
You don’t need a full moon or a full setup.
Spraying your perfume before you leave the house, before a date, before posting content, before a shift, that is the ritual.
It’s small, but it compounds.
✧ Final thoughts
Your scent lingers after you leave.
That’s your energy staying in a space even when you’re gone.
So choose it like it matters, because it does.

If the system can't survive the people in the Epstein Files getting prosecuted, then the system deserves to die.
Then let let it die!
I already want them prosecuted, you don't have to convince me
not to be that person, but making angry posts about the update isn't gonna do anything. if you're actually annoyed, i'd recommend contacting the staff to complain. if everyone does their part, i'm sure these trash updates will be rolled back. let's go!!!
you can send your feedback here: https://www.tumblr.com/support. the more people describing the issue, the better.
tumblr also has accounts on twitter (here) and instagram (this is their latest post). it'd be worth commenting there too! let's flood their last post with complaints, i guarantee we'll get some kind of response.
You need to post a comment on this website right now.
The FDA is considering a petition to make all trans women on estrogen enroll in a registry as a condition of our prescriptions.
If you are in the United States, you have the power to comment on this proposed regulation. The instructions for doing so, and more about the petition, are here. I just left a comment, and it took two minutes. You can do so anonymously.
The petition is bad for other reasons too. It blatantly singles out transgender women and asks for mandatory psychiatric gatekeeping of lifesaving gender affirming care.
right now there are 61 comments on the petition and all are in support of it. Being one of the voices that pushes back is the easiest thing in the world.
If you don't like those posts about how everyone on this website doesn't care about trans women, and wouldn't lift a finger to save us from genocide, here's your chance to prove them wrong.
If you are an expert, a medical professional, or a researcher, we especially need your voice. Please do not hesitate to leave a comment. Again the link is here.
Even if you're not an expert, it doesn't need to be an essay. I left a comment last night that was basically "This is stupid, baseless culture war bullshit and you know it. Grow up" in maybe twice as many words, with the last sentence literally being "Grow up."
PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON H.R. 7661, THE TRANSPHOBIC NATIONAL BOOK BAN BILL!
House Republicans have introduced a bill to effectively grant the federal government decision-making power over what books make it into the library. Misleadingly called the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act," H.R. 7661 is a national-level book banning bill that would ban any book that, according to the bill's language, "(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism." This means any book about a trans person or the trans experience would be banned from every public school in the United States. You can read the full text here. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. If you are represented by one of the members of this committee listed below, they need to hear from you. Rep. Kevin Kiley, California (CA-3) (Chair) - entering vulnerable election cycle Rep. Mary E. Miller, Illinois (Vice Chair) Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson, Pennsylvania Rep. Burgess Owens, Utah Rep. Michael A. Rulli, Ohio Rep. James C. Moylan, Guam - entering vulnerable election cycle Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, Pennsylvania - entering vulnerable election cycle Rep. Mark Harris, North Carolina Rep. Mark B. Messmer, Indiana Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, Oregon, Ranking Member Rep. Jahana Hayes, Connecticut Rep. Summer L. Lee, Pennsylvania Rep. John W. Mannion, New York Rep. Frederica S. Wilson, Florida Rep. Alma S. Adams, North Carolina Rep. Adelita Grijalva, Arizona Call your reps. Tell them they must oppose this bill at every turn. It is egregiously unconstitutional, targets ideas based on ideological disapproval, and misleads parents and the public about the content of children's books. It does nothing to protect kids and will badly harm education. It will tie school material funding into knots and hurt anyone who is a library materials vendor, regardless of content. If you are a bookseller, librarian, or author, tell them your livelihood depends on the next generation of readers. If you are a supporter of free speech, please call your reps and tell them to vote no on HR 7661! Thank you to @authorsagainstbookbans for the graphics and text in the four blue slides.
