that “i dont commission artists who undersell themselves” post is seriously so harmful to ppl who offer cheap commissions because they have no other choice, it just really stinks of bougie assholes who dont understand shit about anything, like what are you accomplishing by ignoring struggling artists in favour of artists who are confident in their work and get clients all the time
via @onemuseleft
#this?#Like#I believe that artists who work on commission SHOULD charge a living wage#but the ones who are inexperienced#or uncertain of their own talent#deserve support#commission them#and then TIP THEM#Hey this is worth way more than you charge man#here’s an extra $20#good luck#don’t shun them because they’ve been taught their talent isn’t valuable

FULL VIDEO
Cop: Ok, Ma’am. You ok?
SB: I’m waitin’ on you. This is your job. I’m waitin’ on you…
Cop: You seem very irritated.
SB: I am. I really am because I feel like what I’m getting a ticket for, I was getting out of your way. You were speeding up, tailing me, so I move over, and you stop me. So, yeah, I am a little irritated, but that doesn’t stop you from giving me a ticket.
Cop: Are you done?
SB: You asked me what was wrong and I told you. So now I’m done, yeah.
Cop: Ok. You mind putting out your cigarette, please?
SB: I’m in my car. Why do I have to put out my cigarette?
Cop: Well you can step on out now.
SB: I don’t have to step out of my car.
Cop: Step out of the car. [Cop opens the car door] Step out.
SB: No, you don’t have the right-
Cop: Step out of the car!
SB: You do not have the right to do that.
Cop: I do have the right. Now, step out or I will remove you.
SB: I refuse to talk to you other than to identify myself-
Cop: Step out or I will remove you.
SB: I am getting removed for a failure to-
Cop: Step out or I will remove you. I’m giving you a lawful order. Get out of the car now or I’m gonna remove you.
SB: I’m calling my-
Cop:[Cop reaches into the car] I’m gonna yank you out of here.
SB: Okay, you gonna yank me out of my car?
Cop: Get out.
SB: Ok. Alright. Let’s do this. Don’t touch me.
Cop: Get out of the car!
SB: Don’t touch me! I’m not under arrest. You don’t have the right to-
Cop: You ARE under arrest.
SB: I’m under arrest for what? For what? For what?
Cop: Get out of the car. Get out of the car! Now!
SB: Why am I being apprehended? Because you’re trying to give me a ticket for a failure-
Cop: I said get out of the car.

SB: Right. Yeah. Let’s take this to court. [Sandra continues to walk toward the sidewalk.] Let’s do this for a failure to signal. Yep, for a failure to signal. [Sandra is led out of the view of the dashcam video.]

Cop: Put your phone down.
SB: This is my property.
Cop: Put your phone down.
SB: Sir?
Cop: Put your phone down. Right now! Put your phone down.

Cop: Stand right here.

Cop: Turn around.
SB: You feel good about yourself, don’t you?
Cop: Turn around. Turn around now. Put your hands-
SB: Why am I being arrested?
Cop: I’m giving you a lawful order. I will tell you-
SB: Why am I being arrested? Why can’t you tell me that part?
Cop: I’m giving you a lawful order. Turn around.
SB: Why will you not tell me what’s going on?
Cop: You are not compliant.
SB: I’m not compliant ‘cause you just pulled me outta my car.

I just read that whole thing without even breathing
This was planned. This was planned from the jump, I have no illusions
My heart hurts.
I can’t believe this
This is terrible!
Witchy Tip ✨
If you pour a little essential oil over a cotton ball and burn it, the result is a lovely smelling fire and smoke! The cotton ball takes about a full minute to burn in a little fireball formation and produces an incense-like smoke when it goes out (it’s pretty interesting, actually) and doesn’t really flare up much, so it’s perfect for cauldron use.
Resources a new witch needs
Notebook: Get a bunch of cheap ones and never stop writing
Binder: When something brilliant happens in your notebook, store it in here. Faithfully record the spells and rituals you do, and their results. DO NOT waste time and ink printing out a bunch of online resources that tell you what to believe.
Bookmark folder on your toolbar: Obsessively save links about stuff that interests you. Test it out for yourself and then add it to the binder.
Plastic baggies, jars, and clippers: Keep these with you or in your car. Collect specimens that interest you and gather what you need from nature.
Nature field manual: Identify them specimens.
A schedule and plan: Look objectively at your life and figure out how you are going to fit practice in to your schedule.
Focus most on resources that show you how to create for yourself (how to write your own spells, how to connect with nature, how to build your own altar). Focus moderately on resources that inspire your creativity and explain how/why things work. Focus the least on resources that give you instructions to follow by rote.
Whale sharks now listed as endangered
In a news release earlier this month, the IUCN revealed that increasing anthropogenic pressures (such as fishing and boat strikes) have caused the rapid decline of whale shark populations and that they should now be considered as endangered.
Originally posted by b3n3aththesurfac3
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the world’s main authority on the conservation status of species. The IUCN Red List evaluates the extinction risk of thousands of species based on a precise set of criteria, and the resulting evaluation aims to convey the urgency of conservation of a species to the public and policy makers.
Previously, whale sharks were ‘vulnerable’ to extinction, but their status has now been updated to ‘endangered.’ Their numbers have more than halved over the last 75 years as these sharks continue to be fished and killed by ship propellers.
Dr. Simon Pierce and Dr. Brad Norman, two prominent whale shark scientists have spent decades studying the animals and have co-authored the assessment that led to IUCN’s update.
“In our recent assessment, it was established that numbers have decreased more than 50 per cent in three generations – which we estimate to be about 75 years,” Norman explained. “The numbers on a global scale are really concerning.”
The main stressor to these gentle giants is the intense fishing pressure in several countries, including China and Oman, especially for shark-fin soup. Some other nations such as India, the Philippines and Taiwan have started implementing conservation plans and have ended large-scale fishing of whale sharks. While these efforts are admirable, it is now really important to push for more regional protection in these countries and to push other countries to try to save this species.

Whale sharks have been hard to study and to keep track off as they are quite cryptic and disappear into the open ocean fairly quickly. However with the use of modern technology and tagging devices, it has become a lot easier to follow them, collect information on them, but also to realize what kind of threats they are facing.
The species is just one step away from being critically endangered, an IUCN listing that is very hard to come back from.
“We cannot sit back and fail to implement direct actions to minimize threats facing whale sharks at the global scale,” said Norman, “It is clear that this species is in trouble.”

Poor OP
Goddess and Gods
Still working on learning how to incorporate them into spells/rituals. For that matter I am not sure I even want to and I understand that to be okay.
Here is the thing I am drawn to Freja and Loki. Then the other thing is that for some reason I seem to also be drawn to Marie Laveau. (Just a heads up my spelling isn’t always great). Don’t know why.
What I do know is that I find it hard enough to find information, on Wicca and Witchcraft but it is even harder to find information on Voodoo.
Rambled, just thinking out loud I guess.
Of course its hard to find info on voodoo/hoodoo. It's a closed culture mostly
Taking sigil requests
If any one worships Thor or Loki like or reblog this so I can follow you but please have mostly pagan stuff too
Sudden realization that I've probably been a Norse heathen since I was five. Like the first god I ever thought actually existed was Thor. Like when storms came around when I was little my grandmother always said it was god with a capital g bowling but I remember in my head always going no its not god with a G, its Thor making thunder
Herbs, Trees and Plants Used in Weather Magic
Below is a list of herbs, trees and plants used in weather witching. I’m sure there are plants and herbs that are missing from this list.

‘Give me Sunshine’ Potion for Happiness
I think I have a new favorite beverage! This potion is quick and easy to make – ideal for college witches, new witches, and even children! The recipe itself can be enjoyed as a non-witch beverage too.
Ingredients:
- milk (or milk substitute)
- vanilla or honey
- cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg
Process:
1. Pour a glass of milk. Add vanilla or honey, depending on what you have. I used ¼ tsp of vanilla in mine. Using either a spoon or your finger, stir the glass counter-clockwise to banish negativity. Put the glass in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds.
2. Add cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg as desired. I used both cloves and cinnamon in mine.
nutmeg - luck, love, clairvoyance
cinnamon - happiness, luck, wealth
cloves - luck, protection, love
3. Stir the beverage clockwise to promote positivity and activate your ingredients.
Enjoy!
