Protect the Porcupine Mountains!
Hello friends - I come to you asking for your help on protecting the most beloved piece of my home, the beautiful Porcupine Mountains of Michigan's upper peninsula.
The Porkies are a vast swath of old growth forest, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, Lake Superior shoreline, and a vast home to so much wildlife. In 2022, it was ranked as the most beautiful state park in the entire US.
Right now, it's under threat again for a third time. Highland Copper is a brand-new Canadian copper mining company, and they want to open Copperwood Mine right along the border of the park, and are vying for a grant of $50 million taxpayer dollars to do so. The mine would be a 15 second drive from the park, and all of the waste that they generate (98.5% of everything they pull from the ground), including lead, arsenic, and a plethora of other poisons, would drain directly into Lake Superior, which holds 10% of the world's fresh water.
The company has been trying to get this grant for years - it has passed the Michigan house only to be shot down in the senate twice. Just last week, it passed the house again, and moves along to the senate with a deadline of September 30th.
The kicker in this is, a BIG reason it was shut down was due to public outcry. So, I'm making this post here to try to raise awareness of the issue, and ask if you can set aside 5 minutes of your day to write to the senators listed in the link below. Even if you're not a Michigan resident—if you're in the Midwest, or anywhere in the US, this will affect you too. There are templates on the website linked below as well. Please write if you can, or make a phone call or three—anything helps, and the more we flood the senators' inboxes, the more we will drive this home, that this mine cannot be built.

Recipe Roundup in Review
In years past, I posted a two-month series of recipes suitable for the autumn season, which everyone seemed to enjoy very much. I’ve been too busy this year to make up a new queue, so I thought I’d compile a big long list of links for anyone who’s looking for recipe ideas this fall.
Update: I’ve posted more recipes since the original roundup and I’ve added those additional links to the list below. I’ve also done my best to mark which ones are vegetarian (🌿) or could be easily altered to be so. (Some could also be altered for a vegan diet using egg, milk, or butter substitutes.) Recipes which may include alcohol as an ingredient are also marked (🍷).
Some are fall-themed, others are for more wintry occasions. But all are designed to make the most of the season and keep our hearts and bellies full as we face the coming cold. Enjoy!

Witchcraft Book Recommendation Lists
(Reposting again bc tumblr turned off the reblogs on the original wtf. From an answer to an inquiry in the witchcraft tags. Decided to repost for anyone else who might need it.)
Here’s the post I made with recommendations for green witchcraft and plant magic. The list includes magical resources and accompanying practical texts on botany, herbology, and medicinal plants.
Here’s the post I made with recommendations for general witchcraft study, including practical sources on the history of modern witchcraft. (In particular, I recommend Margot Adler’s “Drawing Down The Moon” and Ronald Hutton’s “The Triumph of the Moon” for information about the modern movement.)
Here’s a recent photo of my personal library, if you’re looking for a general list of titles to check out.
Here’s the post I made with a list of JSTOR articles I’ve found that relate to witchcraft, witch trials, folk magic, occult beliefs, superstition, and the history surrounding all of them. It’s not exhaustive, but it’s pretty comprehensive.
And here are a couple of masterlists of podcast episodes that deal with witchcraft, witch trials, the history of witchcraft-related beliefs, and resources for fact-checking and debunking misconceptions and misinformation commonly found in witchcraft spaces.
(Also I have published a few books on practical secular witchcraft, if you’re interested….)
You can also find additional recommendations in the "book recs" and "witchy books" tags on my blog.
Hope this helps!
