You ever want a laugh, look at the A-Z list of New Age Practices to Avoid on Doreen Virtue's website.
Some highlights:
This is why it's important to learn the history of the modern witchcraft movement AND understand the origins of the beliefs and rhetoric that so much of the internet takes for granted as intrinsic part-and-parcel of modern witchcraft.
Because a lot of it is down to the popularized ideas of one person. Who probably said other stuff that, when viewed in context, makes those popular ideas look pretty sus.
James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, has just died and I am seeing a woeful lack of crab raves on my dash.
It has come to my attention that some of you are not familiar with James Dobson (though most have correctly assumed he is a trash fire), so allow me to elaborate so you may more fully appreciate the situation.
Dobson, as stated above, was the founder of Focus on the Family, one of the largest and most influential Evangelical Christian organizations in the United States (and one that, as it is headquartered in my area, I have a particular distaste for). Despite never being ordained by any denomination (which honestly accounts for at least some of his bullshit, more on that later) he was one of the most powerful religious figures in the country, and deeply involved with conservative politics.
This description will have lead you to believe that Dobson was a bigoted, misogynistic theocrat who is at least partially responsible for all the far-right bullshit America has been dealing with of late--and you would be correct. But there are many ways he went above and beyond the usual awfulness:
1.) He promoted child abuse. So around the mid-to-late 20th century, a lot of people started going, "You know, maybe we shouldn't be hitting children as a disciplinary measure"--but not Dobson. He doubled down on it, writing books advocating for beating children as young as fifteen months, insisting it was the only way they would learn obedience to their parents (read: the father) and consequently to God. (Equating submission to patriarchal authority with godliness becomes extra-creepy in light of a lot of his other crap.)
2.) He heavily promoted "purity culture." You know purity balls? Those creepy events where dads bring their daughters as "dates" and the girls basically pledge their sexual autonomy to their fathers? Yeah, those were developed by Dobson's FotF associates and pushed on his radio show.
3.) Like pretty much every other Evangelical crusader, Dobson was anti-pornography--but he took it to the point where he enlisted none other than Ted Fucking Bundy in his agenda. Dobson interviewed Bundy the day before his execution, and got the serial killer on tape claiming that his exposure to porn was the direct cause of his crimes. Pretty much everyone who knows anything about Bundy knows that he was lying through his teeth to play into Dobson's sympathies and get more attention, but that didn't stop Dobson from selling tapes of the interview to the tune of over $1 million.
4.) This is more a personal beef, but I consider Dobson and FotF directly responsible for the commodification and commercialization of Christianity in America. They were the ones who turned churches into oversized, bland conference centers, glutted radios with nondescript pop songs about Jesus, and promoted lazy movies with heavy-handed messages about faith. If ever there was a man who turned a house of prayer into a den of thieves, it was James Dobson.
5.) Dobson believed himself to be entirely sanctified by God and free of sin. "Wait, Diva," I hear you saying, "Isn't that just basic Christian doctrine?" Not exactly. See, Christian views on divine grace can be anything from "God loves me in all my messy, imperfect humanity, and I do my best to show that love to all the messy, imperfect humans in my life in turn" to "I have accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior which is why I'm going to heaven and you're not," but Dobson believed he was incapable of sin. He believed that God had perfected him and everything he did--whether it was beating children, subjugating women, raking in millions of dollars through his proselytizing, or manipulating the political process--was good and just.
How could such a man be anything other than a monster?
Right-wing politicians are like “We are not nazis! We just share their beliefs, politics, symbols, gestures , condone their violence and befriend them. Also we occasionally dress up like them, tee-hee.”
Y’all, if you’ve ever wanted something from my Redbubble shop, I suggest grabbing it ASAP. They just announced that they will be implementing a truly ridiculous and callous new fee system against their artists, and it’s likely that I’ll be shutting down my account in the near future, or at the very least heavily downsizing.
Lets shoot some hoops..
this is a fucking out of body experience
I think I have seen all the shit posting pictures of III and this comes up on my dash.
Hey guys something fucking bad happened
KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.
Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.
Please sign/share the petition and contact your representatives.
Okay but honestly, In the genre of “vampires living alongside humans in the same household,” I will never not be amused by the comedic possibilities of the vampires konking out and sleeping like the literal dead in anyplace other than their coffin and everyone having to deal with it until sundown.
Like, Seras waking up to find a perfect outline on the carpet where Walter had to vacuum around her bc she passed out while reading on the library floor.
Hey. First post in a minute. Rush job on a costume for a drag number I’m doing. It’s not even close to being as neat as I would like and that collar is a goddamn mess but I’m decently pleased with how this turned out.
Copia would pick Titanic because I am firm on my "Kid Copia was a Titanic Kid" Headcanon. He would talk through it though. The entire thing.
Oh absolutely, I can def see him as a Titanic Kid™ lol
Honestly, I can see him as a 'maritime disaster' guy™ in general :]
For consideration:
Primo: 'hiking trail/mysterious forest disappearances' guy™
Secondo: 'mountain climbing disaster' guy™ (Everest, K2, ect...)
Terzo: 'true crime girlie'™
Copia: 'maritime disaster' guy™
Perpetua: 'caving disaster' guy™ (cave diving included)
Copia and Perpetua get together to watch the Oceangate documentary cause it combines their special disaster interests
Official Ghost Store confirming my 'Copia is a maritime disaster guy' prognosis lolol
if you are going to need some kind of sedative for 4th of july fireworks for your pets NOW IS THE TIME TO SCHEDULE THOSE APPOINTMENTS TO ASK FOR THEM

I feel like to really get this circulating as it should, we need it superimposed over the picture of the turkey going in the fridge. (I can't do it I'm on my phone.)

#me meeting anyone I dislike again
went to an elementaryschool musical production and they started the show with the director saying: "Now there's some very small viewers here today, so just so you know. There will be a scary character later in the show. This is her," and a girl in a kinda scary ghost outfit did a creepy walk across the stage, the stood up straight and did a cheery wave, "but remember, it's just Nina. She's pretending to be scary."
Aaaand i would very much like for horror movies to have that as a little bonus feature you can chose. Let me start a movie with Guillermo del Toro showing me a scary ghost that might jump at me, but don't worry, thats just Doug!

Yasmin Benoit is a writer and asexual activist, btw. She often gets a lot of shit for dressing 'sexy' and people trying to say she's not valid as an asexual person for it, but she is 1000% valid AF and an ace icon. She's a model and enjoys clothes and outfits that are body affirming for her and feel good to her to be in, it is not sexy or 'trashy' to dress how you like to dress, nor is it her responsibility if other people find her sexually attractive. She's just living her best life and I freaking love that for her.
Also regular reminders that:
Black people can be asexual and are 1000% valid AF (racism + fetishization makes this necessary to point out)
People you find sexually attractive can be asexual and are 1000% valid for it
No one is required to indulge any sexual attraction you have for them regardless of your sexuality or theirs
Asexual people can and do have sex - there are asexual sex workers y'know & ace folks in partnerships with children
Asexual people who are sex repulsed and do not have sex are just as valid as aces who are sex favourable or indifferent
Allosexual people who are sex repulsed are also valid and it doesn't mean they're asexual by default. Attraction and action are two different things
Asexuality is a whole ass spectrum of identities and belongs under the LGBTQ+ umbrella
