Watch: Complaining about political correctness says more about you than it does others.

[kevinwada-deactivated20230323]

This says, so succinctly, what I’ve always tried to say about political correctness and how it is not a new thing, nor is it a bad thing.

lord I would kill for a physical deck with this

[adhdisgay]

[deadwitch21]

🤣👌

[witchyshitposting]

witch culture is

buying too much crystals

emoji spells

wanting to do cool witchcraft on full moons but forgetting when they are or being too lazy to actually do something

same but with sabbaths

pringles

The Craft (1996)

‘im a curse positive witch let me say fuck’

yelling

throwing some herbs at boiling water and calling it a potion

either you have 473092033 tarot decks or you do your readings in uno cards there is no in between

[pippinstook]

Ok, so, as most know hobbits LOVE mushrooms, but what if they love ALL mushrooms, even the poisonous ones. What if a hobbit’s body is able to handle more of the poison and it doesn’t affect them at all. And they love it!

[pippinstook]

And then they nearly give Aragorn a heart-attack when they’re heading to Rivendell. 

Pippin, just being pippin: Look, MUSHROoms!!

The other three, running at full speed: MUSHROOMS!

Aragorn, who is a skilled ranger who knows every plant, tree, and flower to survive: No those are poisonous!

Frodo, who’s mouth is stuffed full: No they’re not. We eat these all the time back in the shire.

Merry, speaking with his mouth full, spitting mushroom everywhere: Yeah, they’re definitely not poisonous. Do you want one?

Aragorn, now having an existential crisis: No, n-no. I’m good.

Sam, mumbling under his breath: Well I wasn’t gonna share anyways.

[enide-s-dear]

@penny-anna this seems like your kind of hobbit lore

[elidyce]

… OKAY NO WAIT THIS IS IMPORTANT

What if that’s the reason Sam and Frodo survived in Mordor? 

What if all those references to noxious fumes and tainted water and everything were completely literal? They avoided eating anything made there, but they had to keep drinking and breathing. 

What if part of Mordor’s defenses was that it’s literally poisonous to any creature not specifically bred to live in those conditions? What if Faramir was so careful about warning them about drinking the water because he knew it was fatal? What if Sauron’s general lack of concern about shit going down inside his own borders (aside from treachery, which apparently happened a lot) was knowing that any Mortal Man or Elf or Whatever that wandered in was gonna be stone dead in a few days, and his desire to catch any infiltrators on the borders was to keep them alive long enough for questioning?

And then these two hobbits who have spent their entire lives merrily ingesting enough poisonous fungi for breakfast to give Shelob a stomach-ache trot into Mordor and drink the poisonous waters and breath the poisonous fumes and scratch themselves on the poisonous thorns and feel mildly unwell.

Years later Sam gets a pained note from Faramir asking him how the hell he and Frodo survived when all the water is tainted with arsenic according to the survivors of the exploratory party and Sam writes back confused ‘What’s arsenic, it tasted bad and a bit metallic, that’s all I know honestly’ and Faramir goes to rant at Aragorn about how bizarre this is and is really confused when Aragorn goes into full-on flashbacks of watching those four tiny dumbasses STUFFING DEATH CAPS INTO THEIR MOUTHS LIKE GODDAMN CANDY. 

[pippinstook]

Oooooo, I like that!! And it would make sense after Boromir went on and on about how impossible it was to be able to breathe in Mordor.

me, reaching into my dresser drawer for black pants: I hope this isn’t the pair with big holes worn in the inner thighs

Marie Kondo, gently over my shoulder: why is a pair of pants you find unwearable still in your dresser drawer

me: oh shit that’s right!! The dresser is for clothes that under some circumstance I might conceivably wear!!

Marie Kondo, beaming proudly: Yes, that’s correct!! These pants must have been your favorites. How wonderful that they were so comfortable and practical that you wore them out. But now since they no longer function as pants, you should move them from the drawer where you keep your functioning pants!

me: Yes thanks I got it they’re in the fabric basket now

Marie Kondo, fading back into the darkness: I love what you’ve done with the kitchen!!

[cwicseolfor]

The notion of KonMari as some creepy semi-embodied but entirely benevolent spirit, like a well-intentioned Bloody Mary, is so perfect and wonderful.

[essoreese]

Marie Kondo has the same powers but the exact opposite energy of the Duolingo Owl.

[strangelyregular]

YES.

Marie Kondo: Your room isn’t very clean, but that’s okay, I love mess! Does this spark joy?

Duolingo Owl: I wrote the ransom note in Spanish, and if you have to use Google Translate to read it, your kid gets it. You broke your streak. I’ll break your neck.

[ace-pervert]

Marie Kondo holding your child, while standing on the remains of the Duolingo Owl : The Bird did not spark joy

[foxeninaboxen]

I had a very... educational experience today, calling a circle for the first time.

I was intending to do a sacred burning of some old photographs. Had all my stuff together, was feeling confident. Cleansed, meditated, set up. All good.

I call the north - goes just fine. Match lit great, candle stayed lit, awesome.

I call the east - match lights okay, but have to light the candle twice because the breeze blew it out??

I call the south, light the candle, it blows out immediately. Uh? I go through SIX MATCHES trying to get it lit, but the matches won’t take.

Fuck it, I think, and move on to the west. I get it lit, and I shit you not, an errant rain drop?? some sweat?? no idea where this water came from, but some random drop of water appears and douses the candle. I look back and the east is out again.

I asked for guidance and protection, and I’d be an idiot, I think, to not take the guidance being given me: not today, fam.

So I thank them and go about as if I’m dismissing a circle because I did call them. I ground, go inside, and my husband says, “Do you know the heat index is 99 degrees right now?”

My burning would have taken about an hour. Because my guardians said “no”, I was out there for maybe a total of five minutes.

Fuckin’ wild, man.

[peachesandwitchery]

okay but crows are so overhated

i don’t know if crows are different in the good ol’ usa but here they’re chubby lil friends with the softest feathers ever

i respect all spiritual beliefs but in my opinion the omen of death thing is a bit outdated,, like look at these things

crows and ravens are some of the most intelligent birds ever, and if you feed them in your garden sometimes they bring back small gifts like buttons and coins!

they’re so badass and cool but adorable at the same time💞💞💞

don’t you think it’s time we showed crows some more love?

yours sincerely,

-shadow🦄💜

 I’m afraid of Americans

[lindsayribar]

This is super real.

[justgot1]

Completely accurate.

[next-time-you-invite-pam]

@pre-successful America exposed. 

[themightyglamazon]

It’s hilarious watching non-Americans react to this with fear because I read it just nodding along like “yes, in fact this is How Things Are, there you go”

[sexycraisinthanos]

If you ask an American how they are and they respond “Super.” that means they want to die

[themightyglamazon]

ACCURATE

[nyanbinyuri]

If they say they’re peachy it means they’re tired of existence

[drneverland]

If they say “Living the dream,” it means “please kill me, I hate my job so, so much.”

[accordingtomyresearch]

also “that’s a great question” means “I have no freaking idea”

[aampharros]

if asked “how are things going?” and they reply “its going” it means theyre in the middle of a mental breakdown

[just-antithings]

asdfghjkls “it’s going” is how I respond 90 percent of the time

don’t call me out like this

[she-of-foam]

Finally got around to doing a deck interview! I was surprised to learn how similar my deck and I are. Very interesting 🌿 the advice it had to offer resonated deeply with me.

What is a trait about yourself that you’d like to share with me? Knight of Coins

What do you currently think of me? Six of Coins

What are your strengths? Eight of Wands

What are your weaknesses? Nine of Swords

How can we work better together? Ten of Cups

How do you view life? Two of Coins

Do you have any advice for me? Six of Swords

the knight of coins reminds me of stahl from fire emblem awakening

[she-of-foam]

I can’t believe my deck is kin with one of my favorite fire emblem boys,,,

Today it’s cold and rainy. A perfect day for hot chocolate and fox donuts 🍩
