Iâll use the new arm â when I need it. But the rest of the time, I will simply be myself.  I wouldnât have it any other way.

Iâm gonna say it again those older gays who are like exclusively attracted to barely legal twinks are pedophiles skirting the law on a technicality and have no place in the community
And to anyone saying âwhat about preferences?â If youâre like 40 and your preference is for young impressionable 18 year olds who look like theyâre 14 youâre a predator and thatâs all there is to it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
remember being little and thinking dandelions were fun or a pretty color or something and every adult in an 80 mile radius wouldnât let you say that without screaming ITS A WEED
also like:
dandelions are edible, easy to grow, and are rich in vitamins a, c, k, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, manganese, and potassium
dandelions can be made into wine, tea, soft drinks, and a coffee substitute
they are used in herbal remedies to treat liver and digestive problems and as a diuretic
theyâre good for bees!
they make good companion plants for various herbs and tomatoes; their long taproot helps bring up nutrients in the soil and they release ethylene gas which ripens fruit
dandelions secrete latex which means they can be used to make natural rubberÂ
they make great flower crownsÂ
Why ARE they considered a weed? Theyâre a good flower? Who decided they were bad? =(
You can also make beautiful jelly from the blossoms!
Theyâre considered weeds because they were a poor person resource and not having them was a status symbol.
Letâs back up.
In Europe dating back to the 1500âs and even earlier, you could only have immaculate manicured lawns if you had just pots of money and were able to own land. So, rich nobility had swaths of land, and they demonstrated their wealth and power by hiring people to physically cut the grass and keep their gardens and dig weeds out of the turf by hand. It was a demonstration of money and power. It said âI can afford to have eight people employed full time just to dig things that arenât grass out of my grass. I can afford to have all of this land doing nothing. Itâs not producing food. People donât farm it or live on it. I can afford to just grow grass, and have someone tend to that wholly useless crop.â
Fast forward a few hundred years. Europeans come to America. Many of them are from the poorer classes in Europe. Many have never owned land before, and now all of a sudden they can (because they stole it from the Native Americans but thatâs a whole other rant.)
Now, at first you see little cottage gardens like the lower classes in Europe always had around their homes; places where they grew food and herbs and kept chickens or other livestock. Dandelions were welcome here; they were eaten and brewed into wine and used for medicine, just as theyâd been for centuries.
But then people start making a little money, and we have the whole phenomenon of people who can demonstrate that they are Moving Up In The World by buying all of their food and medicine, just like the old landed gentry back in the Old Country. So they do. What goes in the place of those cottage gardens? Why, the same thing that went in the place of productive land back in the Earl of Chatsworthâs front lawn; a lawn.
So. Dandelions were a symbol. They were a throwback to the old days. They were a sign that you were somehow less prosperous than your neighbors, or lazier. (A Mortal Sin in America.) But, many Americans work, and canât afford to hire a gardener just to grub dandelions out of the yard with a trowel all day.
Enter the lawn care industry, which began to market a dizzying array of poisons and fertilizers aimed at making your lawn a sterile moonscape where only grass grew with minimum effort from the homeowner. This continues to this day and is a multibillion dollar industry that has huge negative impacts on the environment and human health, but we canât seem to shake that old ideal of a manicured lawn.
We pour water on deserts and poison on native wildflowers to attain it. We expose our children to poisons. We poison pollinators and pets. The days where we recognized a well kept lawn as a symbol of aristocratic leisure are gone, but weâve been successfully fed a lie that some dandelions and chickweed are Bad by the lawn care industry in their ads for decades. They, obviously, want to keep it going because theyâre making fat $$$$$$$ off of us.
THATâS why dandelions are viewed as weeds.
Also yeah dandelions are really good for bees, and beloved by native bees and honeybees alike. So please, leave them blooming!! You can support bees and do your bit to smash capitalistic exploitation of the working class and the environment all in one go!
Lawns are terrible things, a redundant status symbol (âI donât need to grow food on my landâ is no longer a proud boast), boring verging on ugly and vastly consuming of water and labour. Let the dandelions grow!
I canât believe dandelions suffered classism.
Oh my god IM SO SHOOK I ALWAYS LOVED DANDELIONS AND GOT SO EXCITED TO LET THEM GET SO TALL AND LOVE THEM TO DEATH. TIME TO MAKE MY YARD A GODDAMN BOTANY EXPERIMENT
Classism is killing the bees.
Please remember that dandelions and honey bees are both not native to the Americas. While yes, that is very important, dandelions donât offer ecosystems here much else besides some nectar as the latex in their leaves and stems make them unpalatable to most animals. Many native plants, on the other hand, offer food and shelter to a variety of species. So if you are going to deliberately plant wildflowers, skip the dandelions and go for native flowers in your area. Youâll help the bees and so much more! Check with your stateâs Native Plant Society or Master Gardeners to find what to plant where you are. Who knows? You might plant something that a very rare animal needs!
Nythâs List of Witchy Podcasts
So, anyone who knows me knows that Iâm pretty big into podcasts. Being a professional dog walker, I have a lot of time to be able to listen to all the crazy stuff I want while I work. Since this is my witch blog, I wanted to post of list of my favorite witchy/pagan/spiritual podcasts so other practitioners out there can enjoy. So here they are! These are podcasts that I have listened to all the way through, or at the very least, completed large enough chunks of them to trust that they are well researched and well made. I plan to add to this as I listen to more shows as time goes onâŚ
Like with anything, take what you hear with a grain of salt and ALWAYS do your own research, follow your own beliefs, think hard, and decide for yourself before following any advice or info given in these shows.
The Podcasts
Across the Hedge A new podcast about living Heathenry, the first few episodes of this are rather rough, as it appears that the hostess is still finding her groove, but by episode four, each episode pleasing and interesting to listen to, packed with information regarding culture and society, house hold witchy tips, herbs and oils, and a nice roundabout description of what it means to be a practicing Heathen in a modern world.Â
Arielâs Druidic Craft of the Wise Lectures While the background of the DCW is still debated to be sketchy or not, Ariel comes from a very loving and understanding place in his lectures and provides insight on how to better manifest positivity and effectiveness into our daily lives. Based around the Seven Hermetic Principals, they are insightful and plentiful, as there is a lecture for just about any life problem.Â
A Witchâs Primer Also created by Ariel comes this list of episodes geared towards teaching witchcraft to anyone wishing to learn in a nondenominational structure. While the style he teaches still feels rather Golden Dawn/Wicca, he gives a nice rundown of everything from the very basics like tools and colors, to thought-form creation and mental manifestation. He even includes meditations to help teach grounding, centering, meeting spirit guides, and trance states.Â
Chasing Foxfire Some of you may know the infamous Cory Hutcheson from the podcast New World Witchery (if not, see below). In this brand new podcast, Cory displays his deep Doctoral knowledge of folklore and mythology. Even with only three episodes so far, this podcast is wonderfully done, and packed with information and interviews with experts on lore from across America. It is also soothing to listen to!
Down at the Crossroads My favorite podcast, hosted by Chris Orapello, a guy from my area with whom I share mutual friends! DatC has sadly moved away from itâs earlier format and now consists of long interviews with pagan and witchy folk from around the nation, all stuffed with phenomenal information between tracks of excellent pagan music. However, his first 32 episodes are amazingly well done, and are filled with information from historical lessons of the occult, hermetics, the essence of magic, interviews, and his well written and deep personal thoughts regarding the magical life.Â
Inciting a Brewhaha The loud mouths and introspective minds of Fire Lyte and Velma Nightshade come together in a completely unedited, fun, and very debate filled crossover-podcast, in which the host and hostess deeply discuss magical ethics and practice. While the show is sometimes a little crazy because of there being no script and no editing, their conversations are always hilarious and thought provoking, even when I donât necessarily agree with them.
Inciting a Riot Fire Lyte hosts his own controversial show in which he conducts well researched and well thought out news casts of news from across the world and in paganism. He also holds interviews with great minds from the pagan/witchy community, debates with friends, and reads poetry relevant to recent events. While energetic and loud, he has great insight and is very well read, and I get a lot of my more accurate news from him.Â
Lore Alan Mahnke hosts a beautifully written and well directed podcast full of amazing, historical stories regarding strange and eery occurrences across the world. From spooky tales about ghost ships, to nail biting tales of serial murderers, each episode is about true events and how their details have have gradually changed over time to make them sound like modern day horror stories. With a great voice and an exceptional music score, this podcast is a must listen, even if youâre not a witch or pagan.Â
Magic and the Law of Attraction Madame Pamita of the Parlour of Wonders and âHoodoo How-toâ hosts her very own show that is perfect for magical practitioners of any phase in their learning. Whether youâre brand new to practical magic or a weathered old crone of the craft, Madame Pamita makes this show easy to understand and filled with great information, spells, and witchy tips. With a fun and catchy 1920â˛s style theme song, and a voice like butter, itâs a good place to start if youâre interested in great sounding witchy podcasts.Â
Myths and Legends This show is great for anyone who loves mythology and folklore, not just pagans and practitioners. It covers mythology from all over the world, including Greek/Roman, Norse, Celtic, Russian, Native American, and Asian myths, the original tales of familiar stories like Cinderella, and even modern stories that stem from ancient tales that few know about. There is also a âCreature of the Weekâ segment that talks about one interesting creature from the folklore of the many cultures across the globe, which is always a hoot. All told in the quirky and fun style that Jason, the host, puts together himself.Â
New World Witchery Around since the the early 2000â˛s, Cory and Lane are two magical partners that discuss everything you could want to know about American Magical traditions such as Hoodoo, Powwow, Appalachian Folk magic, and the few other traditions born in the early days of the USA. With a laid back, light-editing structure, this podcast is experimental an full of interesting discussions about spellwork, ethics, and folklore. With yearly Samhain, Yule, and Beltane specials, full episodes of professional folklorist, Cory, telling American folk tales, and each episode covering a new and interesting topic, this podcast is packed with thought-provoking information.Â
Reiki Nomad A wonderful little podcast for those interested in learning about and practicing Reiki, this short series goes deep into the history, lineages, styles, and modern uses for Reiki, as well as discusses itâs diversity in both the spiritual and non spiritual worlds. Perfect for beginners and/or Masters looking for new ways to approach the Japanese healing art.Â
The Wiccan Read-Along Podcast Though Iâm not Wiccan, I have to say I really enjoy listening to this podcast, if not simply to travel back to my days of beginning with Scott Cunningham. Still somewhat new, this podcast acts much like an audiobook for three (and more to come) books based around Wicca, though the reader, Phoenix, often has great insight and her own blurbs and helpful criticisms regarding the books she reads from.Â
The Wigglian Way A very full podcast of music, magic, news, and spirituality from two Wiccanâs living in Canada. Their show is full of interviews with authors and artists within the pagan community, news within the pagan and witchcraft world, and hilarious conversations between themselves and their friends. A long time podcast this show has hundreds of episodes to pick and choose from on any subject you might want to explore.Â
Witches BrewHaha The second of my two favorite podcasts, hosted by the magnanimous Velma Nightshade. With a perfect radio voice, Velma takes to the air with a show full of great segments on crystals, herbs, practical magic, book recommendations from her enormous library, and thoughts about news and articles in within the pagan community. She is sassy and smart, fun and fabulous, and she and her coven mates who join her on episodes are all full of wonderful advice and personality.Â
