Hi! When you get this, answer with five things that make you happy and then send it to the last ten people in your Recent Activity list. [if you want to!]

So, I did this meme recently here with a general list of things that are currently making me happy, so here’s a version with things that have made me happy today!

Rory-dog fell asleep with his head on my lap earlier and snored little doggy snores.

We are visiting @cosmic-llin‘s family in Wales, and it’s always so astoundingly beautiful here. Today we went for a walk and it looked like Middle Earth, and there were seals on the beach!

On that note, I am currently sitting on the sofa, and out of the windows I can see sunset and the sea and the mountains and idek.

I got an email to say that my vidshow idea for @vidukon has been approved, so now I get to put that together! :D

I have achieved Some Writing recently, and it has been fun rather than feeling like pulling teeth.

Ablative and imperative!

I did ablative here!

what would be your first order as ruler of the world?

Well, everyone has been sensible and put some version of “sort out this whole mess/destroy capitalism”, and obv that would be my end goal, but I think my first order would be to immediately double the salaries of all teachers, teaching assistants, nurses and care workers. Then at least that can be going on in the background while I figure out what to do next.

you are inspiring me to use this technique to approach my super boring thing

Do the thing! And then do fun things!

THANK YOU FRIENDS <3 I cannot yet do fun things, I need to do more of this thing, but doing this initial 15 minutes has helped me figure out what the heck I’m actually doing, so I am going to try to dive back in for like... 25 minutes and then come up again for air/Tumblr.

October Daye!

Ooh, a non-Trek character out of left field!

My NOTP for them - I’m really not even slightly fussed about Toby and Connor.

My BROTP for them - The Luidaeg! I love everything about their relationship, and how it develops over the course of the books. In spite of everything there’s something very sweet about it.

My OTP for them - Toby/Tybalt all the way.

My second choice pairing for them - I don’t have a specific one - maybe just Toby/Happiness? That would make a nice change.

My fluffy pairing for them - In terms of friendship pairings, Quentin. I could read forever about Toby and Quentin being cute dorks together.

My angsty pairing for them - Again, not a romantic pairing, but her relationship with Sylvester is full of interesting sadness and regrets.

My favorite poly ship for them - Not sure Toby would go there!

My weirdest pairing for them - In the world of October Daye, I think canon is always going to be weirder than anything I could come up with! ;D

I really like your blog. I'm naturally syncretic; I grew up in a openly practicing Christian household and my grandparents are Welsh non-conformists on one side and Christians who incorporate the Tanakh and Hebrew in their worship on the other. When I was a young teen I found witchcraft calling but always had a conflict that G-d and witchcraft couldn't occupy the same space, so witchcraft became my main practice. 1/2

Years ago I returned to G-d and stopped being a witch (or I tried!) Now I'm becoming comfortable with the idea of syncretising my faith with witchcraft and accepting myself as the magical worker G-d intended for me to be all along. So thank you for writing this blog and I'm so glad I found it! 2/2

I am glad you find my blog helpful and that you are reclaiming the gifts God has given you. It saddens me that the Church allows these gifts to be wasted instead of working with their congregants to find a way to turn them towards God. I feel like the Church would accomplish so much more if they stopped saying “no” and instead say “let’s figure out how to hone your giftings for God.” Think about how we could minister to people. Imagine churches where Christian witches are valuable and contributing members of the congregation because of their magick.

I dunno... this has been on my mind lately... I doubt it will happen in my lifetime, but I wish we could change how churches do ministry so that it’s more inclusive and holistic. We need to act as partners to one another. We are not God’s secret agents sent to Earth to blackmail each other with threats of Hell and hurting God.

When Jescissa was a DoA mod, I thought she was nice and I had a lot of respect for her. Now, though, she comments negatively on so many confessions that I don't like her anymore. Why is she so hateful?

Dandelion, fennel, kava

dandelion:when you make wishes who are they for?I’m a selfish lil brat so, I’d have to say for myself. :/ I’m sure it would sometimes benefit others but I really doubt it. I understand wishing for things like “world peace” but at the end of the day that’s vague as hell.

fennel:how do you feel right now?I’m going to steal your line and go with exhausted and stressed. Really stressed. Work still hasn’t gotten back to me on reimbursement. I’m hopeful that things will fix. Positive they will, but the process is long and arduous.

kava:post your favorite color schemeSo, the question confused me for a bit. I know what a colour scheme is but how does one have a favourite? I guess it would depend on a lot of things. There is a apricot scheme which is pleasant to look at but I’d never have it in my home. There are colours I like to wear as well. I am very sorry. I cannot answer this one. I seem to still be confused somehow.

Perhaps we need to start a support group - Bisexuals Embarrassed by CDL...

Yes, I am all for that! Sign me up! Who else wants in?

CDL is a piece of shit for cheapening LGBT* people’s struggles and actual deaths like that. I am so disgusted with them, like literally the recast part is so, so minor in terms of my actual disgust for them. They actually sicken me. 

I honestly think this is the kind of behaviour that pro-recast people should be pulling people over for. They should also be calling this bullshit, because in not doing this is reflecting on the whole community.
