Remember Harpy
now if you thought "group" is an unhelpful and nondescriptive name for a mathematical concept. just remember that the broader category of mathematical concepts that groups belong to is called, a "category". so it could always be worse
Honestly I enjoy very much the terminology of category theory. If I could only make one change to the whole field it would be to rename categories to monoids, and call what is currently a monoid simply a mon, to strengthen the analogy of groups versus groupoids.
Or as ncatlab suggests, call categories monoidoids.
I'm not sure what monoidoidoid should be, maybe something with operads?
So I was on the nlab the other day, and I saw a fantastic joke: A 2-category is “just” a monoidal monoidoidoid! Here’s a screenshot in case

altar update! ໒꒱ .˚₊
Altar update! A lot of people loved my Aphrodite altar, so I thought I’d share my new altar space now that I have moved 💖 I’ve set everything up on the hearth of an old fireplace in my bedroom. Features include: 🥀 a pink glass charging dish where I keep my tumbled rose and clear quartz, and my pendulum 🥀 a lovely pink and purple candle made for me by a friend 🥀 a chalice and crystal dish for offerings 🥀 shells holding my amethysts, opals, citrines and the amethyst point I use as my wand 🥀 my favourite perfume I use for glamours 🥀 a pink salt lamp, wish bottle and twin candles 🥀 and this gorgeous blue and gold vase that I bought the instant I saw it. I think Aphrodite was telling me she wanted it ❤️
I hope you all enjoyed my little altar tour! I know that Aphrodite is pleased with it 💖
Setting Up Your Altar to Aphrodite
Creating my sacred space for Aphrodite was one of my favorite parts of my devotion. It started out as a very small section on my regular altar and eventually I decided to make a coffee table sized altar dedicated just to Aphrodite. Picking out and deciding what went on my altar was such a fun and extremely personal experience. It’s also very rewarding. When my altar was more or less finished, as in I felt satisfied with it, I could feel waves of warm energy coming from it which let me know Aphrodite was very pleased. Even today whenever I look over at it I just can’t help but smile. The altar not only makes Aphrodite happy, but me as well. So I want to share some of my own methods and tips to hopefully help you set up your own Aphrodite altar that will make both you and our beautiful goddess elated!
Okay so firstly I want to say that my goal is for this post to give you ideas and have a starting point. Like anything in your devotion, this is a very personal experience so I strongly encourage you to get creative and make this space a reflection of your unique relationship with Aphrodite. With that in mind, before you begin figuring out what should go on your altar, try to think about your own personal feelings regarding Aphrodite. Think about why you decided to devote yourself to her. Think about her beauty, aspects that you admire about her, the way you feel when you speak/pray/think of her. Use all of this to help decide what you would like to put on your altar. It will help it feel like YOUR altar to Aphrodite.
Okay now lets get to the good stuff!
What should be on your altar:
Some kind of representation – This really can be anything. And I mean anything. As long as you look at it and think APHRODITE you can use it as a representation. It DOES NOT have to be a statue. I repeat, It DOES NOT have to be a statue.
Offering bowl/dish/cup – This does not have to be anything super fancy. You are just going to need something to put any food or drink offerings in. In the beginning I just used a small cup from my cabinet until I found something nicer and for any food offerings I use a seashell I got from the beach!
What could be on your altar:
Candles (pink, red, seafoam, colors you associate with the ocean)
Roses (You can use fake or real)
Rose Quartz
Jewelry
Makeup
Seashells
Sacred animals (swans, doves, dolphins, etc)
Offerings (I have made a few things for Aphrodite as offerings that also act as decoration on my altar now)
Anything you associate with love
Anything you associate with beauty
BE CREATIVE! – Theres two things that are beneficial for getting creative with what you put on your altar. 1) It makes your altar unique and all your own which in return helps the energy surrounding your altar stay positive 2) Being creative can help you not spend a crap load of money setting up your altar
Now that your juices are flowing and your mind is full of awesome and wonderful ideas let me share some tips for not spending a million dollars but still having an altar you will be proud of!
Shops to check out:
Thrift Stores – What’s fun about thrift stores is that you never know what you will find! I suggest if you can checking here first because you can find really beautiful pieces for so cheap! I’ve also seen items that are actually Greek themed!
Dollar Store – Great for candles, candle holders, offering dishes/bowls/cups, seasonal decorations, craft supplies, jars, among other things!
Ikea – Okay I’m sure this one seems strange but I’ve actually gotten a few useful things at Ikea. Two of my tables that I used for my altar I got at Ikea. Small one was $10 and the coffee table that I use now was only $20. You can also get boxes of candles, dishes, bowls, cups, fake flowers, vases, jars, bottles, and candle holders for pretty cheap. My favorite thing from Ikea is these candle holders they have that are like $.59 that can hold both taper candles and votives.
Craft Stores – The ones I’m specifically going to talk about are Michael’s, Joann’s, and AC Moore since those are the ones in my area. What I like about these places is that I constantly have sales and constantly sending out coupons. The only downfall is most of the time their coupons don’t work on sale items and of course when really good coupons are out everything is on sale! Though sometimes the planets align and you may get coupons that include sale items, take advantage of those because they are rare wonderful gems! Joanns is great for fabric so if you want an altar cloth or need fabric or any project. Michael’s and AC Moore are pretty similar but I’ve noticed that AC Moore has more of a variety of bottles and jars in a range of pretty colors! They also have heart shape bottles in two sizes! AC Moore is also more giving with coupons, I’ve received 55% and 50% off coupons a lot more than from them than from Michael’s. I must admit though that most of my altar was created with items I got at Michael’s. Their seasonal home decorations are typically really good and if you wait long enough they will put things on clearance for like %60 off. That’s what I ended up doing with their gorgeous spring collection! Also check out their wedding section! This is actually great not only for Aphrodite related items but also for general witchy purposes. They have favor bags and jars that they put on clearance! I got a box full of small jars for $10!
Beach/Nature – What better place to find things for Aphrodite than the place she was born from? Also don’t count out items you can find in your own backyard! You can keep items as is or you can get creative and make something! Go for a walk and get inspired!
So there you go! I hope this helped you get some ideas for setting up your own altar!! Let me know if you have any further questions or if you have any of your own suggestions. Also PLEASE PLEASE tag me if you post pictures of your own altar! I’d love to see them!! <3
i don’t like how quick #metoo became a meme and another thing i don’t like how quick we dropped free the nipple
i’m deadass serious about free the nipple btw and i always have been. women not being able to be topless in public while man can be is just actual discrimination on the basis of gender. trans women who legally are still men are criminalized for being topless as well. it’s such bullshit how breasts are sexualized by our specific society when it’s not even close to being an aspect of “human nature” to cover breasts. most societies before agriculture allowed women to be topless and there’s plenty of societies throughout history that thought nothing of naked breasts. like why are we not giving a shit about that anymore
i think waiting together is a love language. wait for the train with me, so we can talk a little longer. wait for dinner with me, we can slow dance in the kitchen. wait for me until i can talk after crying my eyes out, hold me, we will figure it out. wait for me when it gets rough, i know i can get through this (with you). wait for me in the car, this song is too good to not finish listening to it. wait for the first snow with me, cold red noses and bright eyes. lets wait for each other, i love you.
remember when elomusk asked one of his rocketship employees to give him sex favors in exchange for a horse
I think this tidbit should be more famous than his exploding cars. It's all I'll ever need to know. A real human man tried and failed to barter with a flight attendant for third base by offering to buy her a horse (that's what girls like, right?)
SpaceX paid a flight attendant $250,000 in severance after she accused Elon Musk of exposing himself and offering to buy her a horse in exch
every time I bring up the horse thing at least a few people haven't heard of it, so I think it's only fair to keep mentioning it for as long as I live

Tactical reloading of things that don’t need tactical reloads
I lost it at the toaster and couldn't make it past the smoke detector before reblogging
This is so satisfying to watch—
I can't watch more of my trans siblings die. please. you have to live. you fucking have to. don't let them win.
hey y'all. please go tell your trans siblings that you love them. please don't ignore them when they're in obvious distress. don't be a bystander. don't wait for somebody else to help them. text them. if you saw someone post concerning stuff a while ago but now they seem fine? text them anyway. be there for each other. please.

the tag started with Piper Forsen, a woman I'm glad to have been able to call my friend. When she passed, we added the halo and have been spreading it around since. So happy to see it like this!
