Special birthday party pole class.. the instructor who taught it is known to do challenge choreo and I was fighting for my life through the entire thing. So fast, so challenging, and 3 whole ass minutes of choreo.. freestyled the last minute because i was fully tapping out of what the actual choreography was, the struggle is real. Pole is hard and this was a tall order a little above my skill level but I pushed through.. and in that freestyle portion I did a variation on a leg hook spin that I had never done before so that was pretty cool to me.

You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.

You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.

You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.

You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.

You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.

You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.

You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.

You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.

You've gotta love.

At some point in my childhood someone quoted, "You've gotta know the rules to break them," at me and I took it to heart

remember in 2007 or 2008 when emo was at its peak and gay marriage wasn't legal and so we had boys in eyeliner and skirts making out with each other at the mall in protest. i think we need this again

[edgebug]

Is it disrespectful to get a tarot deck for reasons that aren't occult? If I buy a deck just because it looks pretty, for instance?

Yeah they are just cards lol do what ever u want with them

[prokopetz]

To expand on the "just cards" bit, the preponderance of evidence is that tarot cards were playing cards before they were an instrument of divination, and in many cultures they're still used more for games than for cartomancy. That's true of pretty much all extant cartomantic traditions: the games came first, and the cards were only later – sometimes much later – adapted for divinatory purposes. You could do readings with baseball cards or your favourite Pokémon deck, and this would be perfectly in line with the history of the practice.

[cryptotheism]

The trick with a rider-waite-smith deck, is that the art is optimized for divination. Everything from the poses to the colors has been woven with late 19th century esoteric symbology. Once you learn that symbology, you can read them easy as reading this text.

The fun bit, is that you can retroactively apply that logic to stuff. Once you understand what things like the color yellow means to the Hermetic order of the Golden Dawn, you can apply that logic to images of Pikachu, Squirtle, Mike Trout, Charizard, etc.

i was obsessed with her. She's in the movie for 5 seconds but she was the best thing I ever seen. She in her special little spiderweb canopy glistening with dew drops. Her lush leaves forming a full skirt. She has more glistening dew drops diamonds decorating her décolletage. Her majestic petals creating a romantic face framing crown.

She was so beautiful.

She was the Queen of the Flowers and I wanted to be her.

I am a mosaic of everyone I have ever known and loved and touched and I find fragments of them in my playlists and how I make my tea. we may not know each other any more but we will stay connected like this. I hope a fragment of me is with you too.
