So my landlord says I can plant flowers and stuff. I’m not much of a gardener yet, but for those of my followers who are, which flowers are the best for bees?
check out your native varieties but dandelions, roses, honeysuckle, and calendual are my go-to’s
Hello! I was wondering if you are the writer of a fan fiction series! I would love to interview you for a project I have to do for my master's program! Please respond and I can provide an email to reach me at!
I've answered this several times. I am not the author of the mentioned fic.
I AM MANKIND’S FIRST DARKNESS!
When I was in undergrad, during my methodology class, my professor (and advisor) was asked, "How do you keep your journal articles jargon-free?" and his answer was, "After a certain level, you simply cannot, and to do so would actually make your writing bad historical writing." He then went on to compare two different articles by the same author written in a journal where undergraduates can submit, and a journal where only phd. can submit.
The difference in language was subtle but noticeable, because there is an implicit understanding that the article is written for someone who has the necessary background on the subject. The writer was able to not have to explain every concept in a journal for phd., since the readers were supposed to bring a baseline of knowledge, or know how and where to go to be educated (or who to ask). This is despite the fact that both were available via jstor.
There will always be people having conversations about things that are beyond your understandig on the topic. I do not instantly understand nuclear physics or computer science or organic chemistry, but I give credentialed people that I know aren't cranks the benefit of doubt that they know what's going on. This respect is often not extended to humanities people talking about their work because "blue curtain is just blue" people think the high school education they mostly rejected puts them on the same field of discussion as people educated on the subject. Yet, these are the people who get mad when they find that rudely interjecting into a conversation where everyone else is on the same page and saying understanding the conversation is too hard in an extremely hostile manner gets a answered with hostility.
The bottom line is, you aren't entitled to understanding everything you come across instantly. If you do not understand the conversation, it is your job to either get educated on the subject if it seems interesting enough, or move on if it seems incomprehensible and is not something you'd care about. If you enter a conversation you are not ready for, that is on you, not people bewildered at your antics.
Specifically, I'm talking about people like this that leave dumb comments on any posts on complex issues that have words with more than 3 syllables.
It is absolutely a form of anti-intellectualism to say that all things should be understood to all people inherently or that conversations should be simplified until this is true. Sometimes, you are the one that needs to read a book until you understand. There is nothing wrong with being uneducated on complex subjects, but to then reject complexity since you did not instantly understand it is dangerous and only help people who seeks to undermine nuances in complex issues.

A prayer for times you don’t feel like praying
You who walk with me, watch over me, and bolster my spirit…
Bless me this day even though my hands are weak, my heart empty, and my words absent.
Although uninspired, I am grateful.

Hi, idk if u still answering questions But anyways i would try.Im pop cultura pagan witch, i'm latine si If.i m not.really coherent writting this Is because English it's not My natal language . So okay, first i'm going to said that i'm.glad for findinf ur blog i read mostly all ur post about the fae and make me change My mind about contact them, Now i'm will.never do it, NEVER, thinkin of the idea freaks me out, i'm scared Now i lean i was before But know i'm more. Anyways i have a fixation with the topic so i have a few questions: vampyres are fae? Because u Say that in an answer post
Other question is: there are fae everywhere? Or just in determinate places? I wonder that because i live in the Woods in argentina (there are no natives threes, basically the flora of this wood is from europe because collonialism)
And the last question: do You know tv shows or movies that potraits accurately the fae?
Thats all,thank u ur blog really help me
Some vampires are Fae, but not all of them. This a difficult distinction to make because vampire is almost more of a verb than a noun. There are many different types of being classified as “vampire”.
In the way that we are using the term Fae here, yes, they are everywhere. It might be more accurate to call them genus loci or spirits of place in that context though.
uhhhmmmm honestly I think the most accurate depiction I have seen was The Beast in “Over the Garden Wall”. The movie “Pan’s Labyrinth” is also a very good depiction (and that one is in Spanish, if you haven’t seen it before :) .

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sally’s story is one of defying the restrictions placed on her, rebelling against Dr. Finkelstein to gain
Shared by @dollfacesally in the TNBC Discord.
I didn't think I would actually get TNBC material where Jack and Sally are legitimately married, Sally is the main character & regarded as royalty("The Pumpkin Queen") in recent years - but I am so, so thankful for it. What will top this is if they include new characters in a continuation like Zero's Journey did.
Also, I wonder if they'll include Jack & Sally's 4 or 5 skeleton children..? Fingers crossed on that one.
I AM SO EXCITED AHHHHHHHHH
proud of this precious bot!
Lucasfilm did not fire Gina Carano from The Mandalorian for being Transphobic:
She got fired for being Anti-Semitic.
Her being Transphobic is not at all okay either but,
Anti-Semitism is not talked about enough.
She basically just compared Holocaust victims to being a Republican. Do you realize how fucked up that is?!
I’m Jewish. I really don’t like when someone compares the genocide of 6 million of my people to being a Republican. When was the last time 6 million Republicans were murdered via gas chambers?
People need to know that this was why she got fired. Don’t you dare just like this post!
REBLOG IT
comparing the genocide of the Jews to being a privileged, pandered-to, bigot Republican is inexcusable.
Do not think that radical feminists support this woman. What she said was disgusting.
Oh my god, your blog is like a blessing in serendipity! I've been endlessly investigating lore and old stories on this but your blog is so informative and fascinating, plus you're a radfem! I may have many questions. Thank you for your wisdom on such matters!
I’m glad you find some value in my being here. Enjoy your stay and ask away when you have questions
Are you UnseelieSidhe from FF? Who wrote TDYK?
I am not.

Alright guys. I’m here with an angry post about this. Please bear with me.
[x] This is a map of the Columbia Watershed. The Snake River is highlighted in yellow, the Columbia in blue.
[x] This is a map of the dams on the Columbia and the Snake. Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day, and McNary are on the Columbia. Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, Little Goose, and Lower Granite are on the Snake.
On February 6, 2021, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) proposed a “ $33 billion infrastructure and community investment strategy that would breach the four lower Snake River dams and reorder much of the fish, energy and commodity transportation systems of the Pacific Northwest.”
[x]
Good news, right?
Yeah, it’s great news until you get to the part about the time frame.
“If turned into legislation, passed and implemented according to Simpson’s timeline, Lower Granite Dam would be breached in the summer of 2030 and the river that was swallowed by slackwater 55 years earlier would reemerge. The breaching of Little Goose, Lower Monumental and Ice Harbor dams would follow and the entire stretch of the river would return to its free-flowing state by 2031.“ That’s NINE YEARS. 9. N-I-N-E. The Southern Residents can barely find enough food now. There’s no way they’ll last 9 years and still be an even barely viable population (not that they’re a strong, viable population at the moment anyways).
Lets go over everyone who died from 2010-2020. 10 years, approximately how many years it will be for the river to be free flowing.

Twenty-nine dead. Sixteen of these deaths were under the age of 40. Twelve were males, two were unknown genders, fifteen were females.
Now, lets look at the births that survived within that same time frame (2010-2020).

L115 (Mystic) Male born to L47 (Marina), her third calf, August, 2010
K43 (Saturna) Female born to K12 (Sequim), her third calf, February, 2010
J47 (Notch) Male born to J35 (Tahlequah), her first calf, January, 2010
Eighteen were born and survived (to this point when I’m posting this- February 10, 2021). Eleven are males, two are unknown genders, five are females.
Now, we’ve lost 15 females over the course of 10 years and have only gained FIVE in that same time period.
Now that we’ve looked at the births and deaths, lets look at the current living population, shall we?
J pod has 10 adult females, (2 post-reproductive); 3 young females; 2 adult males; 8 young males; 1 unknown gender.
K pod has 7 adult females (2 post-reproductive); 1 young female; 7 adult males; 2 young males.
L pod has 15 adult females (5 post-reproductive); 3 young females; 6 adult males; 9 young males; 1 unknown gender.
Total Males: 15 adult, 18 juvenile
Total Females: 23 reproductive, 9 post reproductive, 7 juvenile
Total Unknown Genders: 2
Now, that may seem like a good number of females, but we have to keep in mind that they need to produce healthy, living, viable, FEMALE calves to keep this population growing. While all calves are loved and cherished in this population, we need more females. This population is on a downhill trend that can NOT LAST NINE YEARS WITHOUT ENOUGH FOOD. “When the whales starve, their pregnancies fail. Southern Resident females used to give birth once every five years, just like females in other killer whale populations. But their average birth frequency has dropped to about once every ten years.“ [x]
For anyone who still might not be getting the picture, here. I have a picture for you. This is the population census that the Center for Whale Research updates on December 31 and July 1 each year.
[x] Do you see the trend? It’s falling. This population was decimated by the capture era (1960s-1970s) and is now continuing to struggle FIFTY YEARS LATER.
Another point: Reducing whale watching will NOT HELP. Whale watching companies help keep recreational boaters away from the whales and help inform them on the laws. They also report sightings and help keep population tabs. If a whale isn’t looking good, they can report that. If they didn’t see a whale for multiple encounters in a row and the CWR hasn’t been able to get out with them, they can let CWR know. This is a community effort, tracking and monitoring the SRKW. Whale Watch boats also ensure that, when Sound Watch (which mostly operates off the West side of San Juan Island) is not around, that local recreational boaters follow the Be Whale Wise guidelines and keep their distance from the Southern Residents.
“The Southern Residents pulled through the shooting era and pulled through the capture era, but if Ken is right, they will not pull through the conservation era. They are long-lived animals, so they will still be here—yet they will be gone…“We’re at the point—we’re past the point—of no return.”“ [x]
I appreciate Rep. Mike Simpson’s efforts to try to breach the Lower Snake River Dams, but the time to act is now. We are watching extinction happen before our very eyes. Breach the dams in 2021! NO FISH, NO BLACKFISH! “What will we lose if we let the Southern Residents go extinct?” “Our minds.” [x]
