Sometimes I put my face up against my dog while he's sleeping to feel his little lungs expand and his little heart beat and I am struck by the beauty of of life and the miracle of nature to evolve for thousands of years just to create one little guy and put him in my house

HOW CAN SOMETHING BE THIS CUTE

[anatombombatallhours]

But really, though 🥺

[bogleech]

I made a post like that! Yeah if a wild lizard sees you it’s going to get scared. This lizard is not scared. It knows the human is another living thing, which it feels absolutely safe with. That is fucking MAGICAL.

So um.. I did this shitty comic four years ago and I think it belongs here

[karrakazz]

possibly controversial opinion: i think “natural” makeup is, over time, more damaging than bold, obvious makeup

[solacekames]

I don’t think that’s controversial at all. 

[solacekames]

@qualr sure I’ll explain :-)

Mainly because makeup itself, the generic concept, is an integral part of human identity. People have always done it (even Neanderthals used makeup) and we’re always going to keep doing it. The concept of decorating our faces/bodies with colored pigments is practically hardwired and on a deep level just plain FUN (look at how much kids love to get their faces painted at fairs and carnivals and so on). The concept is also totally gender neutral. In some societies, men traditionally do it more than women, for example. Using your own body as a canvas for art taps into a mystical, childlike sense of wonder. First you look one way, then… another! Like magic. 

But mainstream commercial makeup culture as it exists today is incredibly exploitative, misogynist, colonialist, colorist, and hurts women, especially poorer women and women who don’t fit the racial ideal as expressed by the mainstream corporate beauty industry. And a big part of that is pushing “natural” looks. All women are supposed to look “naturally” poreless, for example (which isn’t realistic or healthy) and are punished socially and often financially if we aren’t. Another example: contouring is supposed to accentuate the “natural” lines of your face but for me and a lot of other Asian women with moonfaces, it’s the furthest thing from natural! The further you are from the rich thin young lightskinned bigeyed straightsmallnosed highcheekboned look, the more weirdly artificial the word “natural” becomes. We’re supposed to sink all this time and money and resources into achieving this bullshit “natural” look until it all feels a bit like Sisyphus rolling the stone up the hill. 

Putting a bright blue streak on your eyelids and walking out the door might take five seconds and probably makes you feel expressive and happy and good about yourself, even if it seems “tacky” through the lens of mainstream makeup culture. But taking an hour and trying soooo hard, using all the latest expensive products to make it seem like you’re not really trying at all, makes a lot of women feel worse about themselves, not better. In fact it leads to a lot of women feeling insecure about their real face and their real skin. There are many ways to look garish, but only ONE way to look “natural”. Instead of turning your own face into a canvas where you’re the creative artist, you’re following a ruthless set of instructions and doing a sort of strict paint-by-numbers that you’re never going to do right anyway. So it represents giving up more power over your own face/body than you’re actually getting back. Subjugation to the social norm, not creativity.

Do this four times repeatedly and you’ll be out. But how does it work? There’s some real brain science behind it.

It’s about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this “human being” software. It’s only been out for like 10,000 years.

I’ve used this technique for about a year, and I can safely say that it has efficiently transformed my sleeping habits from several hours of struggle to fall asleep, to passing out in a matter of minutes.

[rewritethis-story]

It’s a form of Alexander Technique. It’s a technique that was designed for actors to keep their body in ready working condition and give it the best way to perform. This is the method used to calm, and center the body. Once the body is at that point it can perform anything you want it to.

[queensimia-deactivated20181215]

Reblogging for later reference after I tried it earlier today to try to calm down. It actually does help a lot, not just for sleep but if you have problems with anxiety.

My default mental setting is “vibrating intensely in the background.” After doing this, I felt noticeably calm and relaxed - I wasn’t as fixated on my breathing, I wasn’t tense, my movements weren’t jerky and I didn’t feel like I had to be as tense as possible to be under control. 10/10 would recommend.

[orikomi-deactivated20181216]

me gonna try it

[aconitvms-deactivated20171225]

dont wanna reblog but insomnia is a bitch for some ppl so heres for my mutuals having trouble sleeping.

[lianabrooks]

Pro Tip: If you hate going to the doctor or show up stressed, do this or box breathing before they take your blood pressure.

How I became a dumb and “badass” spoilers fighter

Yesterday I was at school talking with one of my best friends, everything was okay. Then all of a sudden she started explaining to me almost ALL of the fuckin spoilers of GOT (I was in chapter 1x2) until season 8; who is alive by the end, who is related to who, who does what, etc. She already told me who dies at the end of season 1 back to when I started the serie. I got very very angry and I got up of my chair and picked my friend’s glasses case, she got up to and demanded it. I told her to look at my eyes and tell me that she was sorry or something similar (because she always does shit but never apologizes), but she didn’t and even added “I would do it again and there’s still more”. That was it girl. She chased me and turned around our table a few times till I spotted the rubbish bin. I thought that there could only be papers and other dry stuff (it was 9:20 am). I threw the case into it and she got mad. Turns out inside the bin there were juice boxes with a bit of liquid and orange peels too… Since I realized that maybe that was too much and I don’t feel revulsion for that type of things I got it out of the bin.

She was real angry, she even went to another table and seated there. I thought that I could try to fix it (even though I was still mad) so I asked the teacher and went to the bathroom to wash my “hands”. The case and I smelled like industrial sugar juice but luckily the soap helped.

When I returned to the class she calmed down a bit and a few minutes later seated in our table again. She didn’t speak to me at first but since she needed help in an exercise we started talking again. She said that if I accompanied her to the bathroom and bought her a snack she would forgive me.

I did. I even give her a new glasses case in the afternoon.

She was happy, nothing happened.

Today she brought the new case and everything. But today I was watching GOT and lemme tell you that knowing what I know isn’t the same anymore.

I need advice… And new friend maybe?

[tiaramelted]

(K, it’s 13th May 2020, I’m editing this and she still is toxic af but she is trying to “improve” and develop empathy, I have forgot most of the spoilers by now too)

[orriculum]

Hi can I request for a friendship spell? I'm a very introvert girl n doesn't know how to initiate a conversation. I want to attract new friends, In fact I have a few people in my mind but I never really had a good talk with them. I don't have any bad intentions for them. I just want that they initiate the conversation with me first. I'm aware of the fact that friendship can't be forced so If we develop a good understanding surely we can be friends so just attraction of specific people.

friendship/conversation attraction spell:

find something that represents yourself, preferably small. 

eat some strawberries while you say this chant:

with friendship on my mouth, i knowi attract friends and conversationthese seeds i plant, discourse i sowthis spell will draw my friendship’s foundation. 

save some of the seeds, place them, the object that represents you, and some rosemary in an envelope/sachet. keep it in your pocket for when you are in the same area as the people you want to be friends with.

it’s really hard to take wicca seriously when all wiccan authors legally change their name to things like Vampyre Mystique Elderberry

[teawitch]

I find this interesting because no one thinks it odd that I write gay erotica under a pen name because legal name me is holding down a corporate communications job and I need to keep the 2 identities separate. But, yet, Wiccan authors I know are catching flake from writing rather decent books under their Wiccan names rather than their mundane names. Sometimes for the same reason. 

[the-fox-jawed-witch]

Is your pen name out there and does it sound like a Raven haired, paler than fucking snow, falling in love with the bad boy in a fantasy novel or does it sound like an actual persons name?

[teawitch]

Does it matter? As witches, are we now judging on what an actual person’s name sounds like? Have we forgotten why witches use craft names? Is your tumblr screen name a real person name? 

[the-fox-jawed-witch]

I mean it kind of matters if I can’t take their book seriously. No it’s not a real persons name but people know what kind of witch I am. How can I tell what kind they are with names like that?

Sure go and call yourself what you want but if it’s out there it’s going to get judged and probably not in the good way.

[teawitch]

You’re right Sunflower Fox. I’ll go tell Storm, who has a well-respect and sizable number of books out, that he can’t be taken seriously because of his name. Because as you said, how can I tell with a name like that? 

[teawitch]

And now it’s time to go to work and be the legal name me. 

Smith…sounds like an assumed name to me….might be suspicious. 

[sabrsiren-deactivated20250418]

guys, I’m Wiccan too and I love these names. And I’m also aware that sometimes it’s a pen name. I was just messing around with this post akghajksk. I was mostly referring to people outside of Wicca

[teawitch]

Too late. 

You’ve begun the great witchblr debate of 2019 and proven I can be snarky. My follower account will plummet (probably by at least 6 people) and there may even be anonymous screaming on pagansuncensored about all this.
