A very big āthank you for your serviceā to every blog on here that deals with debunking pseudoscientific, racist, eugenic, antisemitic, ethnonationalist, and otherwise harmful movements among the magical and religious spaces. I personally wouldāve never had the patience to deal with ignorant questions, baseless attacks, or otherwise the pressure of having to educate people that might not want to listen.
Youāre doing and important job. Youāre valuable and vital for this community. Thank you. š§”

"You can't magic away your mental illness and trauma" and "magic can be a great tool to help manage mental illness and trauma" are both true statements. This isn't a black or white issue. Something can be super helpful without being claimed to permanently cure you of suffering.
āYou canāt drink water once and be hydrated foreverā
āWater is a great tool to stay hydrated throughout your lifeā
Excellent point!! To take your metaphor even farther, you cannot survive on water alone! In the same way you might balance your mental health with medication, rest, routine, magic, or even all four, you donāt take sustenance from only one source! There are many important parts of a mental health, and neglecting one for the sake of just pursuing magic means that youāre putting yourself in a pretty poor situation.

@uriefucker <3āØ
Before I argued with a shit ton of landlords and wannabe landlords: I think we should strengthen tenantās rights and enforce our existing tenant protection laws better, and increase our housing benefits.
After spending too much time arguing with landlords and wannabe landlords: Fuck it. It should be illegal to own homes you donāt live in. If you wonāt sell to the people renting from you, people should forcibly take your property. All landlords are parasites.
"iF yOu DoN't LiKe ReNtInG jUsT bUy A hOuSe"
Houses in my city go for, like, $500k. I can't. Housing prices in the US have skyrocketed while wages have stagnated. That is in fact the problem--most people cannot afford to buy a house, and many people pay more than half their income in rent. Ever saved up for a down payment on a house while doing that?
"mOvE iF yOu DoN't LiKe YoUr LaNdLoRd"
Moving is expensive and stressful. There's no guarantee of finding another place within reasonable distance of where we work, where we buy groceries, etc.
"bUt If LaNdLoRdS dOn'T rEnT oUt HoUsInG wHeRe WiLl PeOpLe LiVe?!"
If landlords/property companies all were forced to sell every place they owned except housing they specifically lived in, the market would have such a glut of housing that prices would nosedive in nearly every city in the US, possibly to the point where normal, average working people could buy one. Houses and apartments do not blink out of existence because a landlord stops renting them out. Why do I see this dumbass line of logic so fucking often.
People literally cannot wrap their minds around the fact that landlords (and I include property companies--the kind that own multiple apartment complexes--as landlords) don't create or do anything of value. "But when I need the water heater fixed, the landlord fixes it." Except for some mom'n'pop landlord operations that insist on DIY'ing everything, your landlord is not the one who is fixing it. The person who physically comes to your unit and fixes it is the person who fixes it, and your landlord is just an expensive gatekeeper who decides for you whether you actually need your water heater fixed. If you owned the place you could have insurance against that kind of thing, you could put money in a co-op that pays for that kind of thing (like condo associations do), or you could just pay out of pocket for it if you have the money. If you did take on the risk of repairing it yourself, the only person who would suffer is you. But you wouldn't be at the mercy of some dipshit who tries desperately not to get your water heater fixed (even though that's illegal), or who hires the cheapest person they could find (who might suck ass and make it worse), or insists on doing it themselves (whether they know what they're doing or not).
HUMANS REQUIRE SHELTER TO SURVIVE. The modern standard for housing includes things like locking doors, ceilings and windows that don't leak, walls that aren't covered in mold, and working electricity, plumbing, and hot water at a bare minimum. On top of that, we need shelter that's near enough to our place of employment and places to buy food, etc.
Landlords do not provide housing. They hold it ransom for as much money as they think they can get, because they know we need housing to survive. They buy up as much housing as they can (reducing the supply of available houses for sale) and then rent them out at a profit (which means more than they're paying on the mortgage, if they have one). They are hoarding housing, creating a false scarcity, and then profiting off of it.
Landlords are parasites.

Tama is boss
THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away⦠An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the catās funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who havenāt read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. Sheās now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now Iām crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially āsecond tamaā or ātama IIā) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
Iām crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).Ā There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama
Yontama.
a legacy
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because itās a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
āSun-tama-tamaā (a pun off of āSantamaā, lit. āthird Tamaā) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tamaās successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, āI will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.ā [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tamaās Twitter account.
Every time I see this post thereās new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.
The shrine of Tama DaimyÅjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.
Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama DaimyÅjin on the anniversary of Tamaās Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus canāt hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)

call me ignorant but i genuinely donāt understand why sports have to be split up by gender.
@ everyone in the notes talking about physical performance: if that were the case, then sports would be divided by physical performance. thatās a thing you can measure. thatās a thing that varies by individual. a weak man and a strong man would be an unfair fight in boxing/wrestling/MMA, which is why they divide those sports up into weight groups based on physical performance. but they also further segregate them based on gender. chess is segregated by gender for no reason but sexism. if itās actually about skill and physical ability, then measure those and separate people by those metrics. donāt do some bullshit gender segregation and pretend like men and women are inherently on different levels no matter their individual abilities.
Remember that time a teenage girl struck out Babe Ruth? Thatās fucking why. Men are afraid of being beaten by women.
Remember that time male swimmers were pulled out of training because Kate Ledecky was leaving them ābrokenā by swimming better than them? Remember how she didnāt even notice, because she was busy actually training?
Shooting is a sport that has no reliance on strength and so any allowance for gender variation is irrelevant. The last time there was a mixed competition (1992) a chinese woman named Zhang Shan won it.
Itās often presented as for the benefit of women. After all, theyāll be heartbroken when theyāre hurt or bested by men.
Projection is a hell of a drug.Ā
this is why they drug test Serena like crazy. the believe no woman should be that good. let alone a black woman. and black women have always been considered āmanlyā and less feminine.
also can we talk about how surfing is segregated as well? like how the dude who won this years international surfing cup or whatever was given $30,000 worth of prize money, while the woman who won the womenās comp was only awarded like $16,000 of prize money???? or whatever it was. but I know it was either half or less than half of what the man won. like why canāt they get the same prize money and when theyāre competing internationally in the same competition? they surely have the same level of skill and talent.
the pay gap in sports between men and women is fucking insane.
The pay gaps, not to mention lack of sponsorships for women athletes who donāt look like models is insane. If you weigh over 250 pounds, no one will sponsor you. Itās why most female Olympic-class weightlifters live in poverty/out of their cars.
Reminder that in international (and usually national too) womens athletics anybody with 5m/mol of natural testosterone or higher is disqualified. (See legal case of Dutee Chand vs IAAF.)
Do you or somebody you know have PCOS? You are banned from international womens athletics because you are supposedly in posession of an unreasonable advantage in sports.
Folks disqualified for hyper-androgenism in womens athletics.
Francine Niyonsaba
Caster Semenya
Dutee Chand
Margaret Wambui
And more
-
Why are those disqualified overwhelmingly black and brown? Because testing is case by case when an athletes performance āraises suspicionsā. They overwhelmingly test athletes of colour, for being too fast and not meeting white expectations of femininity.
Racism and intersexism(discrimination against intersex people) in sports is abject evil. Desegregate sports.
bringing this back in light of the blatant racism and misogynoir in the olympics
āThey overwhelmingly test athletes of colour, for being too fast and not meeting white expectations of femininity.ā
āBut if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.ā

Anyone with a name that starts with a āZā, ends with an āiā, and isnāt some kind of Italian pasta, IS SERIOUS
Iām not climbing no mountain with a pig on my back, š š½š š¾š šæ Negative.
Nope. I know better, have your reblog Madame Zeroni.

Look at these stupid children who donāt know who Madame Zeroni is

Man lissen if you donāt know you better ask somebody AFTER you hit the reblog button
Idk who she is but I have an exam today so Iāll reblog her
idk who she is but i have an exam today so iāll reblog her
^Haiku^bot^0.4. Sometimes I do stupid things (but I have improved with syllables!). Beep-boop!
Because wise, I am.
Oh fucks no sheās back lmao must reblog. Iām sorry guys
2 million people arenāt wrong
I think Iāve reblogged this 12 times this month. The way my life is going right now I canāt risk itĀ
Every time I see this post I say, āAh shitā
Iāve never seen the true brilliance of Earth more clearly than when I found myself on an empty beach at night while it was raining. Most people think of sunny days when they think beach, not rainy nights.
(Hereās a picture I took. To feel what I did in that moment though youād have to try it yourself.)
Can Vogue stop asking non Native American people what their spirit animal is please.
Or can at least three celebrities respond with something like:
āWell Iām not Native American so I donāt have a spirit animal, but I do really love cats.ā
Or even,
āIām not Native American, so I canāt have a spirit animal but my patronus would be a hawk.ā
Or just,
āSpirit Animals are part of certain Native American cultures so I donāt have one but my animal guide would probably be a tree frog or something.ā
While weāre at it, spirit animals are not something Native Americans āused to believeā Native Americans exist right now.
Stop āforgettingā, stop erasing.
Do other witches start their grimoire and book of shadows off with a table of contents.... cuz I feel like itād be common but also it might just be me??? Iām just not looking through the whole damn book, thereās a lot of info on a lot of topics in there...... tell me where to find what I want, this is not a scavenger hunt, itās me trying to find out my other ways to develop a relationship with the local genius loci. Like āsymptoms of the cursedā GTFO of my face Iām trying to be friends with the hill I live on.
