“average day on Tumblr includes 60 stabbings” factoid is actualy just a statistical error. average day on tumblr includes 0 stabbings. The Ides of March, which comes every March 15th and includes 23,000 stabbings of one guy is an outlier adn should not have been counted
is that a knife in your pocket or are you just happy to see me, hehehe wait what-
She literally does not give a damn what that old fool is yelling about
the lion does not concern herself with papa
brutus has been having boys nights like every day this week what could they POSSIBLY have to talk about that much
Bit of advice to anyone who is new to kink or even just sex: assume "no", "stop", "too much", "wait" etc are safewords unless you specifically negotiate otherwise.
You can play with "no no it's too much stop" type stuff being banter or dirty talk or whatever, but you shouldn't assume they are. Yes even if you set a safeword and you or the other person isn't using it.
Also: getting quiet or not very responsive is a reason to check in. Someone not being able to give you a clear "yes I'm having fun let's keep going" or seeming a bit off is a reason to stop when you do check in, especially when they're a new partner.. You can't just assume things are fine bc they haven't said the safeword.
Safewords should be extra measures to ensure ongoing consent, not the only measure.

This applies outside of sex too. I have medical trauma specifically because I freeze under stress and couldn't say "hey that hurts can we pause for a minute?" And nobody knew, apparently, that freezing is concerning and a reason to check in.

Okay, actual question. do you enjoy salad? and by salad I mean a bowl full of greens with some sort of topping. Honest opinion only, please don't answer one way or the other based on what you think you should say.
Yes, I enjoy salad
No, I do not enjoy salad
And please reblog for a larger sample size!
this is my hot take for the day:
stop hexing/cursing everyone around you. not in the love and light threefold bullshit way, in the it’s a dick move way. don’t hex someone because they cut you off in traffic, you don’t know why they were in a rush. don’t curse someone because they made a post you disagree with (unless it’s like bigoted nonsense) just block them. baneful magic is a tool like any other yes, but it’s one that should be treated with more thought and caution than some others.
When I started Hellenic paganism 25 years, it was a different scene. We didn't have social media. We had live journal and geocities/yahoo email lists. (If you're under 20, you probably don't even know what I'm talking about.)
It was a ridiculously small religion. Seemed like there were a few hundred Hellenic pagans in the world, and of them maybe a few dozen that were particularly active ... if the Internet was anything to go by.
And these few dozen people filled the Internet venues with titanic, neverending arguments. Often the arguments were about nothing, or little more than the fact there were too many raging egos for such a small community.
But one thing I can say: most of them were pretty well read. They knew the primary sources. They knew all the latest scholarship. Many could read Ancient Greek to some degree.
25 years later, Hellenic paganism is exploding in popularity. It's quite the rage. It's no longer confined to a few dozen intellectuals who like to argue with each other. That's a good thing.
Unfortunately the level of erudition is rather low. The newer generation has a different relationship to information than mine did. They tend to want information condensed into a 5 minute audio-visual clip. Unfortunately for them, most of the people making 5 minute audio-visual clips often know little more than the neophytes watching them. And some of the Talking Heads out there are complete frauds.
Lack of information and misinformation abound.
What to do?
I'm not making Tik Tok Videos. I don't have the time. Even if I did, I don't think many would bother watching a middle aged white guy. If I were a twenty-something hottie dressed in sexy Gothic attire, I might get some views. But I'm not.
I really don't know what the answer is. But Hellenic paganism has a huge erudition problem, which is really a huge (mis) information problem. And it's not going to get better any time soon.
okay I’m sorry but I’m a trans guy right? So I get ads for fake penisis. Well the one you can turn it up or down, like if you have a boner or not ig??? But imagine like being horny with your partner and you get turned on and you’re like “one second babe.” And just manually turn the fake penis so you have a boner??? That’s fucking hilarious.
it doesn't matter how much trauma I have, you will never catch me shitting on christopagans. they're actually some of the best christians you'll ever meet. they understand what christianity is actually supposed to be
christopagans are not your enemy. stop treating them like one. especially in a space that is supposed to be positive. if you have such strong opinions, make your own post. don't go into their spaces and disrespect them. (for helpols: that sounds a lot like breaking a certain social contract I've heard about)
Hey Jude
Just a little trigger warning, this post does deal with heavy topics of mental health and suicide, if you are not in a good space, please skip past this one until you are
For many, Hey Jude sparks so many emotions, often uplifting and joyous. For Paul, this is also a very special song, in ‘The Lyrics’ by Paul McCartney, he explains how it originally started out as a song for Julian during Cynthia and John Lennon’s divorce in 1968. It was originally supposed to be titled Hey Jules because of a nickname McCartney had for Julian but changed it to be more open and ambiguous. Interestingly, one of the most iconic lyrics, ‘The movement you need is on your shoulder’, was going to be scrapped by Paul, John wanted it kept because he believed it was one of the best lyrics in the song. And for that, I’m sure every Beatles fan thanks John Lennon. It’s hard to explain, but there is just something so breathtakingly uplifting about that line mixed with McCartney’s vocals, the piano and, later on at the crescendo of the song, the strong beat and rhythm.
Hey Jude was actually my first real introduction to the Beatles. Of course I’ve heard their songs before that point but I never really fell into them the way I did when I found this song. At the time I was maybe 15 or 16 and struggling with my mental health. I was in a bad spot and on the precipice of taking my own life. At the time I was also really hyper fixated on David Tennant and I had already finished Good Omens and the Tenth Doctor’s run of Doctor Who, so I was out of fresh stuff to watch of David Tennant that I could get for free. Then I discovered a 1994 Scottish drama series called Takin’ Over The Asylum. I found it on YouTube in some shitty reupload. But I was hooked from the first episode.
The first episode starts off with Eddie McKenna getting fired from his part time radio DJ job. His boss takes pity and mentions a hospital called St. Jude’s Hospital and how they’re looking to start a hospital radio. Eddie happily accepts without realizing that St. Jude’s is a mental health facility. He still goes once he finds out and sets up the small office. The first episode is an establishment of recurring characters like Campbell Bain and Francine. But it also introduces us to a character named Nana. She’s a homeless woman brought to the hospital by the police but she doesn’t speak English and is suspected to be speaking in tongues, the only thing that the hospital staff knows is that she likes music. While Eddie is fiddling about in the radio office she wonders in and starts messing with his records. Eddie manages to calm her with some whiskey and she messes with him by taking his wallet. She grabs a record, Val Doonican’s Greatest Hits, and he takes it and plays a different record for her. That record was Hey Jude by the Beatles. The sound is crackley and distinctly vintage, but it’s raw and real. The camera then pans to a woman screaming and trying to escape, the song playing under it. This show is amazing, I highly recommend watching it. It’s also what got me into music like the Beatles and others.
While I know rambling about this show might seem off topic, to me it’s intrinsically related. Without it, I don’t think I ever would have truly listened to the Beatles, and because of the show, my interpretation of their songs are linked in many ways to my mental health. Like Campbell Bain, I struggle from Bipolar disorder, although I’m more depression heavy than manic, and because of that depressive episode, there have been times I seriously contemplated taking my own life. It’s grim I know, but it is the truth. With Hey Jude, it was one of those rare times something managed to cut through. It wasn’t a perfect heal, I still have days where it all comes back and I need to go to a therapist, but this helps calm and ground me when I start getting that static in my head and the thoughts that follow the static.
The verse that always sticks with me is the first one, “Hey, Jude,
don't make it bad/Take a sad song and make it better/Remember to let her into your heart/Then you can start to make it better”. The first line reminds me about how I always load too much onto my plate and burn myself out to the point where I start to crash and burn, hence the making it bad. With the third line, it feels to me like it’s talking about your perspective, if you have a sad or bad perspective, that can affect your life and the way you see life and all of its blessing, but if you can flip it, even for a day, I think it can make all the difference in taking a sad song and making it better. The third line reminds me of my religion. I'm a Hellenic Polytheist and I worship with Lady Aphrodite, who has helped me make great efforts in my mental health and how I view myself. She is essentially my Mother Mary. Sometimes it is hard to hear her spirit or wisdom some days and feel her love, thus I have to keep my heart open for her so that she can help me in making my life better.
But it’s just so hard to pick one line or verse that’s my favorite, this whole song is just an anthem to the broken hearted and broken down. It’s also a song that brings people together, it’s an easy melody and an uplifting beat. It’s something easy to sing and just brings people together with a bittersweet feeling.
While writing this I decided to see what other people thought, afterall, music has a different effect on all. I texted my sister, who responded that to her, the song felt bittersweet, like missing someone you’ve lost. Not in a sad way, more like a memory of a good moment with them and like you’re telling them you are okay. I won’t go into the context behind this, but this feels like a vivid expression of grief and the slow working healing you undergo.
This song has saved my life. That I will not deny, I don’t fully understand how or why, but I am glad that I watched Takin’ Over The Asylum and found the Beatles and Hey Jude. Since that moment, I have been given many great blessings, amazing friends, an even stronger relationship with my sister, and so many other positive things that I would not have been able to have had I ended it. I am most definitely rambling now, but I think that’s okay, so long as I can end this on a positive note. Whether it's the Beatles or another artist, if you’re struggling, find an upbeat song with a powerful, positive message that can help uplift you when you’re down, it can truly make a difference in life.
what they dont tell you about being loudly transgender is sooner or later someone will say you helped/were the reason they transitioned and you just have to. sit with that for a while and how wonderful it is that a person can inspire others to take better care of themselves like that. the louder you are the better, you help strangers more than you know
It's okay for those who worship Greek deities to want to do it the exactly the same way that it was done back in the day, to want to dedicate their life and their education outside of school to learning about how it was done so they can do it as historically accurately as possible, and to view that as respectful.
It is okay for those who worship or work with Greek deities to want to do it in some reasonable different ways that reflect our modern understandings of things like respect, consent, permission, our understanding of the deities themselves, the sciences, energy, etc., and to acknowledge that even in their own time the deities changed and shifted in their domains with the times and the locations and cultures of their worshippers, so it's reasonable to say that some things could be done differently now, and to view that as respectful.
It is not okay for either side to insist that their way is the only way it should be done, or that the other side is inherently disrespectful for doing things differently.
Religion is not now, nor has it ever been, wholly static and unchanging, especially with syncretization. It's okay to have our differences in practice. It's okay to do things in a way we feel is respectful. It's not okay to demand everything be done our way specifically, outside of our own personal private practice with ourselves.
Not an ask, just some encouraging words (you might not see this lol) but I wish you a good luck with all of your practice stuff and I hope you have a wonderful day. ^-^
Ohh, thank you so much Anon. You literally made my day <3 You're the first ask I've gotten ever that hasn't been those scam accounts and it literally fills me with joy.
I wish you good luck with your practice, if you do practice, and I hope you have a wonderful, splendid day as well!
May the gods be with you! <3333
