a question for anyone who has ADHD/autism/sensory overload:
do you ever hear a loud noise and it just hurts your brain? it feels like pain or something actually piercing your head? like you can actually feel it even though its not there but its still very present and palpable?
it sometimes manifests almost as white noise ??? just a specific buzzing that makes ur brain kind of vibrate as a reaction to any loud sound ;-;
Slavic land, Nicholas Roerich
The Slavic Star Goddess Zorya, Guardian of the Doomsday Hound
Slavic mythology is one of the less appreciated of all the ancient folklore traditions. The myths grew in the hearts of the tribes of a great civilization, and in the minds of people whose lives were full of struggles and dreams for a better future. The goddess who guarded their lives was named Zorya.
The main problem with researching Slavic gods and goddess is that there are no first-hand records related to them. This is the most important reason why Slavic gods are less popular than Egyptian, Indian, Roman, Greek, Chinese, and others.
Slavic mythology was recovered after many centuries. The first writings appeared after the arrival of Saints Methodius and Cyril to the Slavic lands in 862. Before this, the Slavic people were illiterate, and thus they were unable to record anything related to their culture or religion. However, the Christians were not very interested in recording the tribes’ mythology, so the traditions, rituals and beliefs had to wait even longer to finally become a subject for written texts.
Much of the priceless knowledge was forgotten over the centuries, and when Christianity began to take hold, most of the resources related to the ancient ways had disappeared. While scant, the earliest details about Slavic religion were written by Christian missionaries. However, for science the most important resources for knowledge about the old myths are archaeological sites, which still contain many shrines and symbols of an ancient culture.
The Morning Star
The goddess Zorya is also known as Zorja, Zarja, Zora, and Zorza. Sometimes Zorya is described as two or even three beings, but other times she is just one female. She was also a beautiful double guardian goddess known as the Auroras. Zorya served the sun god Dazbog, and it is believed that he was Zorya’s father.
Legends said that the Auroras kept watch over the doomsday hound, Simargl. This hound is chained to the star Polaris in the constellation called “the little bear” – Ursa Minor. They needed to ensure he didn’t break the chains because if that happened it was believed that the Universe would be destroyed.
Zorya lived on Bouyan Island. This was a legendary paradise where the winds of the North, East, and West met and the location where the Sun lived. However, no human could ever enter the space. The Zorya were very beautiful, but out of the reach of living men.
Zorya was also represented by two stars: the morning and the evening ones. A cult for the stars shows the strong interest in rituals related to the powers of nature. It seems that the Slavic religion was even more focused on a connection with nature than many other ancient religions.
Zorja Utrennjaja was the Morning Star. This star was thought to open the gates of Dazbog. This version of her name comes from Russian, in which “utro” means “morning”. However, this star has its own name in every Slavic language. It’s known as Gwiazda Poranna, Zvezda Dennitsa, Rannia Zoria, Zornica, Zvijezda Danica and by many other names.
The Morning Star was linked to protection, horses, light, and exorcism. It was believed that it took care of spiritual cleaning and brought good emotions. Zorya was also connected to the planet Venus, and some of her attributes were similar to the Roman Venus and Greek Aphrodite. Slavic tribes worshiped her every morning, when the sun was rising and bringing new day, new hope, and new possibilities to accomplish their goals.
In some legends, Zorya is described as the god Perun’s wife. She accompanied her husband during battles. Her role was to protect the warriors - shielding them from death with her veil. She also brought hope and light if they were losing a battle. Other legends show her as the wife of Myesyats, the god of the moon, and as the mother of the stars. Sometimes the Evening Star is also described as Myesyats’ wife.
The Evening Star
Zorya Vechernjaja was the evening star, which was responsible for closing the gates of Dazbog’s palace. Her other names were Gwiazda Wieczorna, Večernja Zvijezda, Zwezda Wieczoniaia, Vechirnia Zoria, Večernica, and Večernjača. She was associated with Mercury. According to the legends, she was the one who protected lost travelers who needed to find the right way to travel straight to their destinations. She was also Myesyats’ wife, and the mother of the stars, which acted like guiding lights.
There may have been an afternoon star as well, but if there was, she has been forgotten. There are no records which could be useful to describe it. Likewise, some researchers suggest that Zorya was a virgin goddess, strongly related to Venus. It is unknown however, what could have been the relation between these goddesses as no writings from ancient times have been found to describe it either.

OHMYGOD
theyre so gorgeous 😔😔💔
you know when you realize and you just.. Realize
My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:
Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.
I like this so much better than the idea that our ancestors would be embarrassed or ashamed of us for being “soft” or some crap like that.
My ancestors, watching me stuff my face with fried chicken while studying: She eats like an imperial concubine and can afford to study like am imperial scholar. WE MADE IT
She eats like an imperial concubine and can afford to study like am imperial scholar
My ancestors watching me use my stand mixer while living in a small apartment and attending university: Thou hast kneadeth bread in FOUR hail marys??? FOUR??? And thou ist poor as a churchmouse, yet liveth in a fine cottage with four pounds butter and fresh berries in thy larder!! And two featherbeds! And thou attendeth the King’s college, as a lord!!
funny how many of these billionaire ~philanthropists~ (such as billiam "divorce" gateskeep) actively worsen the lives of people in poor countries. they have all this talk about improving poor people's health then literally advocate for resources resolving it to be restricted to the imperial core, siding with price gouging pharmaceutical companies and kleptocratic governments.
they claim to want to defeat global poverty then use the world bank--a neocolonial institution that pushes poor countries to create life-threatening working conditions--to measure global poverty and make themselves look like saints.
it's not about genuine care for people's well-being. it's an ego trip and profit opportunity. the reality of philanthropy under capitalism.
fuck bill gates, fuck the world bank's "anti poverty mission", and fuck everyone who defends a system built on neocolonialism.

from LoS we know Emma doesn’t know who Cordelia is and personally I don’t like this fact at all lol, I have this headcanon that once talking with Tessa the subject of the TLH gang came up and upon hearing of Emma’s ignorance on the matter Tessa took it upon herself to tell her everything about her ancestors Cordelia and Alastair ❤️

No but seriously as I’ve gotten older I realize more and more that although white gays do face certain levels of oppression they are still white people.....like does that make sense?
Like yes a white lesbian has some form oppression against her but she’s still a white woman..... and the same thing for white gay men and white trans men and women like they’re still white !!!!!!
Like I don’t mean this in a rude way but like if we’re going to be honest about the lgbtq community we should also talk about how the white people in said community oppress poc and it doesn’t change just because they’re in a minority group they’re still white people
And like personally I’ve seen that white lgbtq ppl hate when you bring up that their still white because they’ve separated themselves in their mind as being better but they’re still white!!!
Hello white people should definitely be looking at this and reblogging it lmaooo
Can I just say this post is full of people trying to dunk on me saying that I just figured out intersectionality, or that this is basic intersectionality that EVERYONE KNOWS or something along those lines and I’m respectfully asking you to stop.
I know what intersectionality. I am a black woman. Known about it for a very long time. And comments about me “discovering” it especially by white people is especially heinous and you need to sit down and think about why.
Just by doing a quick scroll and the amount of hate and threats I’ve gotten from this post alone no. Not everyone knows what intersectionality is. Not everyone has taken classes or has read theory. You need to stop this line of thinking
Y’all comment on this and then act victimized when I call you out. Stop thinking that insulting someone and their intelligence won’t have consequences because I’m the wrong bitch to try to use to make yourself feel smarter

Well, there’s no way around it: This has got to be one of the queerest places on the internet.
How queer, you ask? Apparently, folks on Tumblr are 193% more likely to identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community than on any other social media platform. That’s you! Well, it’s most of you. It’s a helluva lot of you.
Let’s talk about you—the LGBTQIA+ community on Tumblr. You, who uplift each other, back each other up, uphold each other’s truths. You make Tumblr the supportive space it is.
So hey, whether you’re out and proud or just starting to figure things out, queer Tumblr has got your back—and it touches every fandom and ship and interest you can imagine...we have (finally canonical) declarations of love! Ratty allies! Gay ACNH villagers! Pronoun-positive worms on strings! And frogs! So many frogs. No matter what, you’ll find support and acceptance and, if you need it, a little bit of guidance.
This is who you are. Not just in June, but every day of every year. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
🦄,
Tumblr
You made Tumblr queer as hell. We wanted to thank you for that with some gently silly, aesthetic things. Why wait for Pride month? Tumblr celebrates year-round.
If you’re on a computer, check out the latest Color Palette for a fun dashboard makeover. Just mosey your little cursor over to the account button in the upper right-hand corner, click it, and then click “Change Palette.” The hues were inspired by the all-inclusive Pride flag.
While you’re there on your computer, you can brighten up your posts by tagging them with certain genders and sexuality-related words, like #lesbian, #trans, or #asexual. There’s a bunch of them! And we want to include more in the next tag update. If there’s a specific identity you need to see in our next release, let us know in the reblogs. For now, we hope everyone feels seen and celebrated in the rainbow #LGBTQIA+ tag.
Android and iOS folks, we didn’t forget about you. You’ll start to see all of this stuff around May 10.
