a kitchen witch in the baking

Ellie, cis/het, 29. I'm dabbling in some earthy witchy things for now, so help a baby witch out if you can 💚 follows, replies and asks are from this blog, but my general/main blog is honorarybigsister.

i felt like these tags really added to the experience, thanks @cynderxdustypaws for your knowledge

[naamahdarling]

This is one of the most powerful images I have ever seen, and I will reblog it every single time because every single time it brings tears to my eyes.

"People are not property!" - *loud cheering*

"This includes prisoners! They are not suddenly property of the state when they're convicted!" - *a little less cheering*

"And that includes children who are not their parents' property!" - *almost no cheering*

"What? I thought we said people aren't property?"

[gandalfsbignaturals]

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

[gandalfsbignaturals]

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

[gandalfsbignaturals]

its really funny that after 2 months this post is still making racists come into my askbox treating me like im a horrible person for pointing out that sometimes people of color are excluded from things in visible and offputting ways. cry about it

the most important thing a dog can be is purebred. some degenerates will try to convince you that genetic diversity is a good thing and may point at sky-high COIs, autoimmune diseases and other chronic health problems, short life expectancies, and deleterious genes that are fixed in the population to try to sway you. do not be fooled! anyone prioritizing bullshit like “health” and “temperament” over the purity of the bloodline is your enemy and cannot be trusted. shun them. drive them from society. destroy the mutt abominations they dare to sully the world with.

[augustdementhe]

Even the doodles?

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

if you cross any poodle with any dog of any other breed you are a craftsman of monstrosities that should all be shot in the street. you will take your purebred hip dysplasia and bloat as God intended and you will fucking like it.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

dangerous radicals might try to convince you that early disc degeneration and a lifetime of pain and paralysis is a bad thing that should be outcrossed away from. do not listen to them. there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a breed being fixed for IVDD. anyone who complains about their dog dropping dead from congestive heart failure at age 5 is a pussy.

Know that what Trump is doing to Minneapolis is the template for what Trump wants to bring to your hometown next. Minnesota’s general strike should be our template for how we respond nationally.

Local house witch telling you to please learn basic housekeeping skills.

It’s not your fault if no one ever taught you but YouTube is a magical place and can teach you at your own pace.

[coinandcandle]

Someone asked me what housekeeping skills I’d recommend learning.

Keep in ming that this is not me shaming you, I know you have your reasons, folks. This is just a guy who enjoys clean spaces asking that you start learning now.

Here’s what I suggest as an adult who has lived with other adults who didn’t have housekeeping skills:

First and foremost, learn about all the places in your house that need to be cleaned and understand how often they should be cleaned. the American Cleaning Institute (I guess that’s a thing) has a good article about basic cleaning info. Plus this video on cleaning tips is great!

Learn how to do your dishes. HOT water is the only way to clean your dishes.

Learn how to clean your shower head, especially if you live in a place with hard water. Same goes for your sinks.

Learn how to do your laundry correctly. Even without the whole “separating whites and colors” thing, there are things you need to learn about washing your clothes. Learn what the tags mean, too.

Also, you don’t have to use fabric softener and you shouldn’t use it on towels or any fabric meant to absorb. (Learn about laundromats) And please learn how to clean out your dryer vent, it’s a safety hazard!

Get a disinfecting cleaner for your high-touch areas, especially the gross ones like the bathroom. Just because it doesn’t look dirty, doesn’t mean it’s clean!

Learn how to sweep, mop, and vacuum effectively.

You’ll also want to make sure to change out your home’s air filters.

TL;DR, here are some cleaning videos.

How to Clean Everything in Your Bathroom

How to Clean Everything in Your Kitchen

Livingroom Cleaning Routine

How to Clean Everything in Your Bedroom

Now these resources are not the end-all-be-all, but I think if you don’t know much about cleaning your space this is a good way to start.

[thumperdaetime]

here’s some of the things that are helping me actually clean (as an adult who had messy parents, and has a hard time getting threw my nurodivergency about cleaning specifically) that may be helpful to you:

Favorite Cleaning Book: it helps you work through the emotional side of cleaning (and other care tasks)

Current Favorite Decluttering Method/Concept: it helps you know how much is too much to keep and how to get started when you’re overwhelmed. (having too much stuff makes it incredibly hard to clean/organize.)

Basic Cleaning Skills: this channel is amazing! this man has a special interest in cleaning and cleans people’s spaces who deal nurodivergence that make it hard to clean. he does this for free (or at a deficit because he pays for supplies and dumpsters and transport and such) and does it all with empathy and kindness working With the people as much as people can handle instead of just coming in to “fix” an issue. these videos are a bit different from his usual ones, (the last one’s most like his usual videos) but i find having the sped up cleaning videos with a voiceover can help fill in for body doubling when im too ashamed to bring people into my messy spaces.

[analog-machine]

I’m gonna queue this as well so you’ll be seeing it again from me in a few months without any comments on it, but this is all good things to know

don’t abandon joy because it is brief. don’t commit to solitude because happiness is fleeting. it’s okay that good things do not last forever. it’s okay to simply enjoy a thing for as long as you have it.

Everybody wants to hit the streets for the revolution but nobody wants to pack lunches or fold pamphlets

[free-and-to-none-accountable]

This was a ventpost but everybody in the notes being like "I want to pack lunches" gives me life. Bitch, me too.

Join the IWW. The one big union will send you on all sorts of exciting adventures, such as Answer Email, and Fill Out Form, and Maintain Spreadsheet, and Bring Donuts. It makes my shitty busted body and agoraphobic brain go brrr.

[queeranarchism]

The notes are still buzzing with people who want to make lunches. It’s almost as if preparing food is a pleasant activity.

Honestly, I only know a few activist communities where ‘everybody wants to hit the streets’ is true, and generally those communities have a toxic masculinity problem or a massive ableism problem or most likely both. The glorification of the frontline is a symptom of an activist culture that only celebrates one kind of person. If you see that, something is probably rotting underneath.

[free-and-to-none-accountable]

^ yeah, that part

[wobblydev]

Truly, Fill Out Form, Maintain Spreadsheet and Answer Email are some of my favorite roles I've had in this union. Not everyone needs to be on the picket line. Not everyone needs to march on the boss. Hell, not everyone will want to do 1-on-1s.

We need people to make and distribute a survey of food allergies and dietary needs for the next OT101. We need people to sit on the kids for the IWOC meeting. We need someone to organize rides to the May Day march. Everyone is good and helpful in this fight.

Where's the African mythology?

The Kickstarter is live now!

[boycarofchilladelphia]

I know I have close to zero Tumblr fame, which I normally appreciate, but I would love it if this made it into the world and got fully backed. You can even pledge to get the digital content and send a real copy to a school in Africa or to a HBCU or community library of your choosing!

[nyokoko]

Wizards of the Coast doesn't have any African analogous mythology that's playable unless you homebrew in Chult, which is just leftover jungle safari savage land racism anyway, and they haven't done anything to improve it as far as I've seen.

Paizo (the makers of Pathfinder and Starfinder), has actually hired Black writers (myself included) to write for their Mwangi Expanse lore, which is richly influenced by various West African cultural norms and mythos.

We desperately need more Black-owned and Black written tabletop adventures out there to enjoy.

Unfortunately this trial keeps reminding me of the Oscar Wilde trial, and I genuinely hope it ends better for Liam Óg than it did for ol’ oscar
