Hi we need to bring this back immediately thanks

I don't really have one single centralized page for this on my site (you can get all these plus a few other pages from the dropdown in the header), but
OMG I USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME IN SCHOOL, DO RANDOM HARMLESS THINGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE GO WTF
It's wild seeing things go full circle once got invited to a dinner with the local hong kong community and the zoomers are like we want to become a part of britain again and the boomers who actually lived under the British empire are like NO YOU DON'T
Accidentally typed Sabantuy as Savantuy lol. Instead of wrestling, archery, racing we have speed reading, human calculator, and playing by ear. Our singing shall be sung to infodumping and our dances shall be stimmy. New holiday dropped.
ya gotta stop caring what people think and start being extremely weird. but never cruel. i think that might save you
first 7 faceless emojis as a portent for the new year babes let’s go
🫂🔫🤞🏻🎊👉🏻👈🏻🏵️
semi-related to all this is my creeping realization that there is very little space in our culture for actual children, because even Things For Kids are immediately leapt on and run into the ground by (sometimes) well-meaning adults. kids are slammed with capitalist messaging, urged to partake in the things for which their parents are nostalgic, expected to conform and fit into a world that at best doesn't give a fuck about them and at worst is actively hostile
be nice to kids and teens please, they've got it rough
fr childhood is no longer a stage of discovery but a stage of product creation
if you see a young child (under 6) that you don’t know in public with an electronic device*, would you consider them an “iPad kid?”
yes, always
yes, depending on the child’s behavior
yes, depending on where in public you are
yes, other nuance
no, with some exceptions
no, never
i wouldn’t make any assumptions/results
*you are just seeing the child with the device and their family in this situation. you’re not seeing exactly what they are doing on the device, you don’t know the family or how parenting is handled.
reblog for reach/bigger sample size!!
Tbh it's more traumatizing how people treat trauma survivors. Like if you've been through some Major Horrific Shit™ people now think there's something wrong with you for being able to survive.
Last minute window sill altar thrown together so the kids don't get to it... I don't have photos of the old generation so I put the clan symbol in the centre. Ancestors told me to enter my soft girl era so that will be my goal for the new year 🐰
You can tell by our snack offerings that we're in the americas 😂 truffles (offered by baby), cranberries (me), Swedish berries (husband), and Tostitos (toddler)
Nardugan (new sun) lore time!!!
It is a holiday in many north asian Turkic cultures and Manchus used to celebrate this as the main new yr before they stole CNY
Tis the darkest time of the year with the least amount of light- new moon closest to (or after) winter solstice. Gates of hell are open, bad spirits are abound, you must pray for protection, eat comfy foods, make an offering, and sing songs to keep them away. Then next day, the sun comes back and it is thank good spirit time and it becomes new year.
Plans are having chocolates (nabbed from Christmas clearance), rosé wine, playing cards against humanity (ok probably a bad game to play for this holiday but I feel like it's less evil than poker) and going to make Peking duck for dinner. Gotta set up an altar too. I feel like there's Christmas/Easter Christians and then there's Nardugan/Sabantuy Tengrists lol
For the life of me I can't remember if we're supposed to bathe on the new year eve or new year day. I think it's the new year day to wash the old year away.
If this duck turns out alright I'll post the recipe last yrs was burnt to a crisp and the time before that, like 5yrs ago, it was raw and we spent days vomiting 😆
Donna Berzatto seven fishes mode activated lol. Had to sprint to the corner store like 3 minutes before sundown when I realized none of our candles worked (youre not supposed to really go out after dark this year and right before it goes dark u light the altar). Cussed out the automatic doors for being too slow on this day of good vibes. Then my baby screamed for 2hrs straight.
I also don't know what the fucking duck wants from me last year 3hrs in the oven burnt it to a crisp this year 1hr15 it's still half raw. I think it needs 1hr more without miraculously burning. Somehow. I think the honey in the glaze is what's making the right time tricky. First time I made it, it went in for 2hr30 but I think that was at a much lower temp.

🌲🧚🏻I've forgotten a lot of my faerie life, and recently, I read that early Christians believed faeries were fallen angels too good for hell, but not good enough for heaven, I can't remember that far back so I was just wondering what other spiritual fae/changelings, or even what spiritual Angel-kin think about that? 🌲👼🏻🧚🏻

Oh boy this is a topic I've read too much into bc in my culture the line between fairy and angel is very blurry.
To start with, throw Christianity out of the window. This is a worldwide phenomena in many religions.
There is a concept of an etheric group of beings with divine abilities over certain things and environments. E.g. water, air, light, etc. who are sometimes worshipped as minor deities and often serve a major deity. Loosely, we can call them "fae".
In cultures where angels and demons are a thing, there is a God and a Devil representing Good and Evil and angels/demons who serve them respectively. So it is closer said, that angels are fae who serve good and demons are fae who serve evil.
Scaled back on Christmas this year for a full on Nardugan (new year in some north asian cultures) so I don't get festival fatigue and stress from planning two major holidays. Did this last year and 😑🔫. Gregorian New Year is straight up cancelled in this household. When you blend cultures together there are sometimes just too many damn holidays. Few years ago I dropped all the Chinese holidays because they're always too close to the important culturally revelant tengrist ones. But I still go to the asian supermarket the day after midautumn festival for clearance mooncakes 🤣.
Actually Midautumn might get resurrected because that doesn't coincide with anything, being 1.5 months off of Halloween isn't too bad.
As for the Western ones we only did the Easter egg hunt and a small xmas pre kids. But now Halloween is added on the plate along with a bigger Christmas, Easter is looking mighty choppable.
calling the cops on an unhoused person for being weird/rude/"scary" in public is so weird to me on such a fundamental level... like even before you get to political beliefs about jail and homelessness, you are beefing with a dude who has to live on the sidewalk. like sorry if he was rude to you dude sorry if he made you uncomfortable but to be fair he lives and sleeps on the fucking sidewalk. sorry if hes being too mentally unwell on the street late at night but like you gotta understand that he lives on the fucking sidewalk. sorry if he seems a little bit "off" today dude i think maybe its because he lives on the fucking goddamn sidewalk
A while ago I was arguing with some family members who were complaining about homeless people just existing. And I was just like, whatpart of HOME-LESS do u not get?! THEY LITERALLY DON'T HAVE A HOME! SHELTERS ARE FULL (and shit)! OF COURSE THEY'RE GONNA SLEEP OUTSIDE AND EAT OUTSIDE AND SHOWER OUTSIDE AND SHIT OUTSIDE BC WHERE ELSE ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO EXIST??? It's like these anti homeless ppl think portal to some random dimension is an option when u lose a home.
Changeling faeries, do you remember your life before?
I remember everything.
only things from right before this life
only bits and pieces
Not LITERALLY EVERYTHING but enough important things. I think as of a few months ago I'd say bits and pieces but recently I've had a series of realizations that made it all click together and make sense, rather than just being fragments of memories. It's like finding the center of a flower and now the petals make sense.
