Honestly fuck the whole “queer people are just like you!” Respectability bullshit. I’m not like cishets thats the whole point, and a lot of lgbt people ARENT. I’m here for flamboyance, for butch girls who make old people uncomfortable, for trans people who dont pass. I’m here for all of us who are very obviously different, not just the upper/middle class cis white gay and lesbians with a picket fence and 2 kids.
Honestly I’m not gonna survive the apocalypse. Y'all go on gathering berries and drinking cockroach milk (apparently) and forming barter economies and I’m gonna stay in my house until the last of my seltzer runs out and then I’m gonna put on an all cashmere outfit and lay down and die. Have fun fending off the coyotes and doomsday cults and living on expired canned goods in a world with no more Netflix. Pass.
You need to purify, but you’re short on time. You need it to be quick, but just as effective as a ritual bath. Look no further than our Purification and Protection Scrub.
Materials:
sea salt
coconut oil
essential oil of lavender
lemon rinds
Combine the salt mixture and coconut oil in a 2-to-1 ratio and stir. The salt should stick to itself without excess oil pooling at the bottom of the container. Then sprinkle in some fresh lemon rinds and add in one drop of lavender essential oil.
Sea salt, coconut oil, and lavender purify and protect; lemon is a strong purifying and cleansing ingredient.
In the shower, first massage the scrub over the skin in a counterclockwise motion while visualizing the coconut oil drawing negative energies from the body and the sea salt sloughing them away. Then, massage the scrub in a clockwise motion while visualizing the coconut oil and lavender forming a protective barrier on the skin.
Note: Because salt can often be irritating on the skin, we do not recommend using this scrub on the face and should be limited to body use only.
Reading up on sea witch spells and seeing people suggest putting offerings in bottles and letting the sea carry then away.
This upsets me.
It’s littering. Please leave your offerings on something that’s not harmful to the environment. A sea shell, rock or even just on the beach. Please don’t use anything that could cause harm to the ocean or its inhabitants. Thank you!
Not to hijack, but all offerings in natural spaces should be planned to be safe for the environment it’s going into. This is why I’m partial to offerings of water or other consumable fluids–if it’s safe to go in my belly, it’s probably safe to pour over some plants.
Yes. Stop telling people to bury things in jars, particularly . Bury things in (unbleached) paper towels, or the insides of bell peppers. And don’t bury things that won’t degrade. There are so many ways to do witchcraft that doesn’t involve burying things that won’t decompose!! If you can, opt to recycle the item, or better yet, just change out all your spell ingredients for stuff that is eco-friendly and able to rot if buried. Srsly.
to add: making bowls or balls of ice to bury or to be carried awayby the sea. Use unbleached paper towels or banana peels(if it’s safe) to write your spell on, etc. There are many safe ways to do magic without littering.
You can also use cabbage leaves and cotton kitchen string in place of a jar, or write your spell on a piece of un-coated (like not metallic, etc.) paper and fold it into an origami creature because the paper will degrade
hoteps really do have more influence in our communities than we like to admit lol like you’d be surprised how many black people hand out DVDs of ‘hidden colors’ in street vendors and stuff and typically black people who are in any way politically engaged on the internet prolly keep tabs on tariq, umar, and sotomayor in some fashion. we all made fun of that hotep who said that ‘having a period is unnatural’ but if you looked on his facebook people were really into it. @ the black left that’s our biggest hurdle in my honest onion
Hoteppery is the ideological manifestation of toxic masculinity/patriarchy in the black community with a dash of respectability politics for good measure.
Like tbqh most of the discourse on this hellsite sounds like this to me:
1) This character stole some bread, they are the literal worst and if you like them you are personally endorsing stealing and are the literal worst.
2) This character stole some bread from my favourite character and DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE REDEEMED
3) This person drew art of this character stealing a loaf of bread and is romanticizing the act of stealing and is making fandom toxic.
4) This person wrote Problematic TM fic in which this character steals MORE LOAVES OF BREAD AND ISNT PUNISHED FOR IT how dare they.
5) I’m trying to make fandom a non toxic space for all of us so here’s a list of all the bloggers and artists who have created art which did not directly punish this character for stealing bread and on occasion have drawn them going on to steal more bread. Please don’t harass them =uwu=
6) How dare you even think of writing a redemption story for this character who once stole bread.
Anyone who sees fic/art of fictional characters stealing bread will start stealing bread too.
If you post fic/art of characters stealing bread, you’re directly responsible for all bread-stealing that ever happened.
Even if Aladdin is a canon bread thief, do NOT make fic/art of Aladdin stealing bread!
YOU ARE EXPOSING MINORS TO DEPICTIONS OF CRIMINAL ACTS. YOU ARE AN ABUSER.
* You’re allowed to make fic/art of fictional characters stealing bread IF someone once stole a bread from you AND you make a public post telling everyone the size of your loaf. BREAD ROLLS DON’T COUNT, IT MUST BE A WHOLE LOAF OR YOU’RE JUST FAKING.
honestly the only way to make sure no one steals bread for you is to never have any bread at all. if you do have bread you are setting yourself up to have your bread stolen from you, if you yourself didn’t steal that bread in the first place.
“All the discourse on this site boils down to marginalized folk wanting to have their voices heard and be able to be included in fandom, but hey since I’m white/cis/ablebodied/neurotypical let me dismiss it all as bullshit.”
Like… y’all ain’t subtle, you aren’t even original, just admit it that you like fandom better when you can do whatever fuckery you want without marginalized folk coming in and ruining you fun.
Lol because drawing porn of a fictional child character is stealing bread
Because drawing rape or incest and making it look good which is bad for those who have suffered it and have their lives ruined is totally the same as stealing a loaf of bread
Because drawing a cannon poc that other poc relate to and is probably on of the best representation they ever had before and turning the character white and ruining that positive representation is totally stealing bread
Its get really obvious y'all don’t really care about minorities because when one of them complains y'all want to talk about the good ol days of fandom when every one with a different opinion then you would just shut the fuck up and suck it up
OPINION | Foster Campbell can win the runoff in Louisiana.
If you listen to nothing else, please listen to this. There will be a run-off Senate election on Dec 10th in Louisiana, and the Democrats have a shot at winning. If they could get that one seat, it would flip the Senate 51-49 in their favor, and keep the GOP from having complete control of Congress. This is HUGE. This is whether or not SCOTUS Judges get approved, whether or not Bills get passed.
That thing going around about pressuring electors to name Clinton President over Trump is never going to happen. Ever. But this is a thing that actually could. If you know anybody who knows anybody who lives in Louisiana, pressure them to vote for Foster Campbell. Pay for their cab to the polls! Hell, donate to their campaign! This is not fear mongering or hyperbole when I say this last race is life or death for millions of people.
Democrats have one final shot to flip a Senate seat – but in order to pull off an upset, they need to quickly rally around the Louisiana candidate whose victory could be a bright spot in an otherwise dismal year. Public Service Commissioner – and jovial cattle farmer – Foster Campbell will face off against Republican State Treasurer John Kennedy, a twice-failed Senate candidate, in a Dec. 10 runoff.
On the surface, it might seem like a lost cause: A Democrat running a statewide campaign in Louisiana in the Year of Trump. On the contrary, though, Campbell has a legitimate shot to upset his opponent the same way Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards did in 2015. Yes, Louisiana has a Democratic governor. He’s busy at the moment cleaning up the fiscal mess left by his predecessor, failed presidential candidate and Kenneth-the-Page avatar Bobby Jindal.
Edwards pulled off an upset in part because of Jindal’s failures, and in part because he ran against, a less-than-charismatic politician tainted by a bygone prostitution scandal. But Edwards prevailed not only as an anti-Jindal and anti-Vitter. As an Army veteran with family law enforcement ties and a calm demeanor, he was a strong candidate in his own right.
Campbell, too, is a good bet; he has a wicked sense of humor and speaks plainly. During a recent debate, he rebutted false allegations of ties to ex-KKK leader David Duke, saying, “I have nothing in common with David Duke other than we’re probably breathing.”
Democrats who feel frustrated, fearful, and angry following Donald J. Trump’s upset win, listen up: Go donate $5 to Campbell’s campaign. If you’re in Louisiana, vote for him on Dec. 10. If you know someone in Louisiana, spread the word. Help raise money and awareness for Campbell.
Electing Foster Campbell is the most immediate way to rebuke President-elect Trump. A Campbell victory would mean a 51-49 split in the Senate. This is the last best way to make a difference in 2016.
Campbell is a fighter. During his career, he’s fought for ethics reform, lower energy rates for rural consumers, and for victims of domestic violence. Guided by a love of family and a deep-seated faith, he fights for the little man – and woman.
He can win. Repeat that over and over until you take action. The national Republican apparatus is gearing up to defeat him, and you can make a difference.
Campbell is a man of the people; Kennedy is counting on the elite. This year alone, he was the beneficiary of $400,000 from a political action committee funded by one Chicago family.
Campbell doesn’t have a Chicago sugar daddy; he has gumption. Fight for Foster.
action movie protagonist to his daughter: Honey…Daddy’s gotta go away for awhile. Pop’s gotta go. I got some bad men after me, some really nasty guys. Some big meanies are trying to catch me, and well dad’s gotta go. I’m sorry sweetie, but dad’s gotta blast. Some really rude men are after me. You gotta go stay with mom because I’m putting not just myself in danger, but my family too. For some reason I think mom’s place is safer than my off the grid apartment/house/cabin
if you are friends with bigots who pose no harm to you, ask yourself WHY.
have you tried to correct their behavior? or do you stubbornly refuse to challenge their views beyond the liberal notion of a “healthy debate” because you dont want to make things Awkward?
dont be friends with fascists and bigots!! dont entertain them, dont give them a pass, dont tacitly condone their behavior!! every fucking time you let a bigot get away with saying or doing something horrendous, you are VALIDATING them and hurting marginalized people. your silence is AGREEMENT with their views
run their views into the ground! tear them to fucking shreds, tell them in no uncertain terms that their bigotry and violence is UNACCEPTABLE and they need to change
if at that point they refuse to listen to you then DROP THEM instead of TOLERATING THEM in your fucking friend circles and groups and thereby letting them hurt others around you, because allowing fascists to be fascists in your vicinity facilitates fascism!
We got ignorant ass whites on here thinking POC, disabled and people of LGBTQIA we just whining and upset cause Trump won (although he wont be officially be the president until the electoral college decides Dec. 19) but thats not the case.
We UPSET. We SCARED. And we are fucking FURIOUS.
These whites need to look up the recent hate crimes that have been happening to various POC and people who are LGBTQIA.
People have been murdered, assaulted (physically and sexually), and people have been harrassed. Women are being grabbed by the crotch, muslim women are being pushed onto subway tracks or having their hijabs ripped off, black people are being called the n word and assaulted while pumping gas, latinx children are crying in schools because dumb ass white kids wanna yell at them “build a wall”, and this just is the TIP of the iceberg of what has been happening since Trump has won.
Since he has won. White people, racists, sexists, homphobes, transphobes and so on feel VALIDATED. They think they can do what they want and say what they want to oppressed people.
So yes PEOPLE ARE FUCKING SCARED.
And to those who are saying we should defend ourselves. Point is WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO DEFEND OURSELVES.
We shouldn’t have to carry knives, mace or other shit while we doing the most simplest things such as pumping gas, taking the bus to work, or sittimg a goddamn classroom.
How ignorant do you have to be? How disassociated and unfeeling do you have to be to call peoples fear of their lives, their children lives friends lives or loved one lives just “whining”?
Trump sparked something within these animal ass people. He himself may not be committing these acts be he sure did light the goddamn fuse.
We shouldnt have to be scared to be WHO WE ARE cause of these horrible ass people.
And if I gotta spread the word, make sure people are safe, express my sadness and anger and fury online and on the streets to get my point across then I damn will.
If me being upset and afraid for my own self as a black pansexual femme and worried about other marginalized groups is characterized as “whining”. My fat ass will whine whine whiiiine.
And anti trump protesters burning flags aint nothing. That flag has and ALWAYS will stand for the white cis privileged. That flag was never made for the marginalized groups.
So fuck Donald Trump, fuck Pence, fuck their supporters, fuck ya flag, and fuck you
