Idk, more and more I take a pretty dim view when practitioners try to shoehorn a spirit into being something they're really not connected to.

Not just the way some goddesses get turned into the dark mommy domme figure (although, that's been going on forever - when does it end??). I also see it with gods, saints, and even fair folk too.

No, I know - UPG. Got it. Right. Okay. I'm not discrediting that either, what I am saying is that if your UPG is a complete 180 from what's been recorded of that spirit's personality or sphere of influence, and doesn't align with any kind of known lore or syncretism or shared gnosis among others... maybe we take just one minute and critically examine why we we're so eager to make the square peg fit in the round hole.

not seeing a lot of people on here talking about ICE murdering another man yesterday. His name was Lorenzo Salgado Arajou. He was a Mexican man living in Huston Texas. He was killed at age 52 and lived the past 35 years here in the USA, and was in the process of obtaining a work permit. He was shot and killed during a traffic stop that ICE claims was part of a targeted operation, and claimed he was “weaponizing his vehicle”- the same claim ICE agents made when they shot and murdered Renee Good.

During the stop, Lorenzo had 3 coworkers with him in his truck who have all been taken into ICE custody.

His family described Lorenzo as a hardworking family man who didn’t deserve to be killed. All he wanted was to provide for his wife and see his sons become great people. His eldest son recognized his father by his cries and pleas when trying to identify who the victim was.

The Salgado Araujo family has set up a gofundme to help with funeral and legal costs, and to help keep their family supported since Lorenzo was the sole provider.

Hello everyone ،،

The effects of the war on Gaza are still present in the details of daily life, especially in the lives of those who lost their homes and found no alternative but tents.

I am the mother of a child born during the war, specifically at the height of the bombing, amidst the sounds of explosions, fear, and insecurity. Today, two years later, we still live in a tent.

Living in a tent is not life, but a daily struggle to secure the most basic rights.

Pure drinking water is not easily available. We have to carry it from long distances, and we may wait for hours to get enough water for one day.

Food is also not always available, and we often lack basic ingredients. Sometimes I don't have anything to feed my child and have to wait for aid or donations to arrive.

There is no electricity, no place to shower, and no toilets.

We are not looking for luxury, but for the bare minimum of dignity: a roof over our heads, clean water, and enough food.

Please, any donation, no matter how small, will help us in our war for survival.

🚨Urgent🚨

I'm here in Gaza with my family. None of you know how I feel and what I'm going through now. Sad and tired of everything.😭😭 I was displaced with my children from my beloved city, Gaza, leaving behind my beautiful memories and dreams,💔💔 fleeing to save my life and the lives of my family amidst hunger and oppression. No food, no safety, no shelter.💔😭 I suffered until I found a place to build my tent in the south due to overcrowding.😭😭

My child, Imad, suffered from recurring skin infections due to the high temperatures in the tents and the overcrowding in the south. 😭My son, Mohammed, was also attacked by a dog that bit him, nearly losing an eye.💔

I'm struggling to provide food for my children due to the exorbitant price hikes. We're suffering from hunger and food shortages amidst death, destruction, and displacement. Please help me save my life and the lives of my children. Donate what you can at the link.👇👇

Don’t ignore me, please.

Here in Gaza, life in all its forms has come to a halt because of the war😔.

living here has become extremely difficult due to the high and rising prices.

It has become hard to provide the basic necessities we need, like food and drink.

The cost of living for one day exceeds $100.

Please help me, even if just a little.

For anyone who truly wants to know what’s happening in Gaza 🇵🇸💔

Yes, food has entered the Strip…

but not as aid — it’s being sold to us at high prices.

Prices have dropped slightly, but they’re still far from normal. The same goes for money transfer fees — lower, yet still too high.

The army hasn’t withdrawn from most areas of Gaza.

Entire cities like Rafah haven’t seen the army move back even a single meter

Anyone who approaches Rafah or the so-called “yellow line” is targeted immediately — that line marks the areas under full occupation control.

Tens of thousands of missing people are still trapped under the rubble of their homes, waiting to be pulled out and buried with dignity.

No country or organization is helping. Civilians dig with their bare hands 💔

Thousands of detainees from Gaza remain in occupation prisons, including doctors like Dr. Hossam Abu Safieh, with no sign of release.

The bombing has never stopped — not for a single day

Every day there are airstrikes, shootings, and martyrs… while the world stays silent and hypocritical.

We still live in tents, worn and fragile, as winter approaches.

The rain and wind will soon bring another disaster.

Gas hasn’t entered Gaza; we only hear about it in the news.

We cook over open fires, and even firewood is expensive.

Meat, chicken, and vegetables are available in the markets,

but only for those who can afford them — a kilo of chicken costs around 50 USD!

Most medicines are gone from hospitals and pharmacies.

Those who find a painkiller are considered lucky.

Water is another daily struggle — we travel long distances to buy 20 liters for 10 shekels.

Since the ceasefire was announced, the world seems to think the war has ended.

Aid has slowed, attention has faded, and many have forgotten us.

But the truth is… nothing has changed.

We are still here, still suffering, still waiting for your voices, your prayers, your solidarity.

Hello friends, I am Doaa, mother of Omar, who suffers from autism. I hope you support, donate, and participate as much as possible to save my little one. He needs your support. He suffers from hyperactivity, needs behavior modification, and lacks visual and sensory focus. He is now sick and needs treatment, and I regret that I do not have the money for that. The war affected him. After a long time he started to improve. Please save Omar. He has now been in Egypt for three months, but unfortunately the centers for his condition are expensive and I do not have any income to support him. I hope to see him as a normal child like other children. I wish I could hear the word “mama” from him, as he does not speak and needs speech sessions. I trust you

HELP THE ABED FAMILY SURVIVE IN GAZA

Hello all, Nedaa has reached out to me and asked if I could make a post for her families fundraiser.

Nedaa, her husband Abd al-Rahman Mohisn, and their two children have been struggling ever since October 7th of 2023. In January, they were forced to evacuate from their home and walk in the freezing cold towards Rafah, before being forced to flee once again to Khan Yunis, and then were displaced again. Their home has been destroyed by Israeli bombing, and they struggle greatly every day to get the basic necessities of food, water, and medical supplies.

THE ABED FAMILY HAVE BEEN REBLOGGED BY 90-GHOST

YOU CAN DONATE TO THEIR FUNDRAISER HERE

This is a family who's fundraiser has barely gotten any attention, and could really use your help! Families like these need as much attention as we can give them, and any amount donated helps a lot.

A mother's plea: Help us survive and protect my child who was born in war.

My name is Sahar. Like any young woman, I dreamed of a stable and happy life. I was engaged to Mohammad, and together, we dreamed of building a warm little home where we could start our life. We spent years preparing our house, but just before our wedding, everything was destroyed in an instant by the war.

I was faced with a choice: to leave Mohammad in the midst of this chaos or to stand by him and begin our journey together, no matter how difficult it might be. I chose him. We got married, not in the dream wedding I had envisioned, but under the harsh reality of war. Our new home became a fragile tent, offering neither comfort nor security.

After we got married, I received the news that I was pregnant with my daughter, and I live in constant fear for my unborn child. I am terrified of the world she will be born into—a world of poverty, hunger, and bitter cold. We have been displaced from our home more than nine times, carrying with us nothing but the burden of loss and the hope of survival. The house we dreamed of is now rubble, and the tent we live in barely protects us from the rain and cold.How will I protect my daughter? We struggle to find enough food. Basic necessities like milk, blankets, and clothing feel impossibly out of reach. The cost of survival has become unbearable. Every night, I am haunted by the thought: how can I bring her into this world, knowing I cannot keep her safe?

After a long pregnancy filled with pain and fear, after nights without sleep, I finally gave birth to my baby girl. She was born in the middle of bombing, surrounded by destruction and poverty—not in a warm room, not in a safe place. Her first cry mixed with the sound of explosions, as if she was announcing her arrival into a cruel world she never chose.

I gave birth to her with nothing but my heart. I cannot promise her anything. Poverty surrounds us from every side, and the cold reaches her tiny body before night even comes. My baby and I are suffering deeply, not because we ask for much, but because I am unable to provide her with the most basic needs: milk, warmth, and safety.

When I look into her eyes, I feel strength. When I look at my empty hands, I break down in tears. I am a mother trying to save her child from hunger and fear, in a world that has shown no mercy even to the dreams of children.😢🥹

My name is Hisham, a 26-year-old young man from Gaza. Like any young person, I dreamed of a simple job to achieve my goals and build my future step by step, but the war turned all our dreams into rubble. We were displaced many times, carrying our homes on our shoulders, leaving our memories under the debris.

My family now lives in a tent with no stable shelter, my sister Jana has no school, and I have no steady job. My brother Kamal carries the burden of the entire family, working every day to secure just enough food, while I search for any work, no matter how difficult or dangerous, just to survive.

My mother, the beautiful dream we once cherished, wished for a calm and happy life for us, but the war tore us apart and shattered our hopes. As for Jana, my innocent sister, she lost her school, her books, and even her sense of hope, yet she still writes her dreams on small pieces of paper, hiding them in her torn clothes so they won’t get lost like everything else.

We are not asking for the impossible, only what keeps us alive with dignity and gives us a chance to rebuild our lives. Every donation, no matter how small, means so much to us. Your support will give us hope to keep going and try again. 🙏❤️
