My DMs are where your "hi beautiful" goes to die.

she/her, 44, but am I? this is mostly for long form rp, then whatever shiny catches my eye.

Since some of you seem to need a reminder...you try to chat me up and we have never interacted nor are mutuals at least, you get blocked.

I prefer to make the first move. You approach and I haven't seen you before, insta-block. This includes psuedo sugar daddies (I'm 44, get real, people) and seemingly innocent girl blogs that are actually porn.

Go away and let me play in peace.

See the First-Ever Photos of Cozumel’s Mysterious Dwarf Fox

Many believed the tiny fox had gone extinct

Strange things happen to animals when they colonize islands. Some of them get larger, like the enormous rabbit Nuralagus rex of ancient Menorca, while others get smaller, like the dwarf fox of Cozumel. This mysterious species of gray fox is estimated to be only around 60 to 80 percent the size of its larger mainland brethren. Fossils indicate it first arrived on the Mexican island around 5,000 years ago, predating the arrival of humans...

every once in a while i will feel a great pressure to exist, but then i just have to sit back and relax and remind myself 'oh wait, you already exist without even trying. GOOD JOB.' i think this realization can be a huge relief

This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.

And the assless chaps sold out on June 1.

They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."

[fandomsandfeminism]

I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.

So, you know, a giant corporation that walks the walk pretty consistently.

"All pagans should have to believe X" Oh, you want universal neopagan orthodoxy, do you? Should we have a neopagan Council of Nicaea about it? Should we print catechisms? Should we punish people for not conforming to your orthodoxy?

We write for ourselves, but we post for others.

(this came out of a conversation in the comments on a previous post about an author threatening to stop updating a fic because of lack of engagement)

So there’s this idea that fic writers should write for themselves and not care too much about stats or engagement,

and i totally get the sentiment behind that. if writing becomes entirely about stats and external validation, something important does get lost - creative freedom and joy, conviction in your own writing

but i also think:

“i write for myself, but i post for others.”

because posting fic is not only self-expression. it’s social. ao3 is called an archive, but emotionally it often functions as a community space.

people post for connection, for participation, for others to bear witness to their pain and trauma and grief,

and i don’t think most people are asking to be admired so much as acknowledged. there’s something deeply human about wanting another person to encounter something that mattered to you and go:

“ok, yeah, I see what you were trying to say. I see you.”

especially because fanfic is often people processing very real feelings through fictional characters at a safe distance, one step removed,

and then uploading that deeply personal thing into a shared archive and hoping somebody else might connect with it.

And i think that’s why it hurts so much when you summon up the courage and post a fic into the void and you get nothing back,

and then it’s like,

does anyone see me? does anyone even care?

The magic dogwood is an unusual Mexican subspecies of Cornus florida which is very sought-after for its large leaves and especially for its very unusual welded-together bracts reminiscent of Chinese lanterns.

Hello lovelies, I am once again asking you guys' opinions.

Not for me this time, but for a friend, who tried to do a candle spell for cutting people out of their life. They used two candles sharing a wick and tried to burn them apart, however the two candles melted together.

I'm really curious to see how people on here would interpret that...

[breelandwalker]

Late to the party but....here goes.

This sounds like an issue with chosen materials. Two candles sharing a wick will also share a heat pool, meaning the wax will always run together when they burn, especially if the wick is comparatively short and they're within a few inches of each other.

I'd suggest your friend try again with another method. Sometimes using a different type of casting for the same purpose can get the job done. My favorite "Remove Person" spell involves writing the name on a slip of paper, stuffing it into a partially-hollowed onion, duct-taping the onion into a ball, and throwing it into a public trash bin.

If they still want to use the cord-cutting method, the candles should be farther apart, on a heatproof surface, not sharing a wick, and there should be a string or cord of organic material strung between them to symbolize the connection that's being severed. (I say organic material because acrylic or polyester yarn can melt or produce unhealthy fumes when burnt and will not produce the desired effect. For best results, use jute or cotton, always practice fire safety, and be super clear about setting those boundaries in addition to doing the spell.)

Good luck!
