age is never a free pass to be a bigot

[asymbina]

Your racist grandma can learn better.

[mira-jadeamethyst]

“When your only defence of someone’s attitude is ‘oh, they just grew up in a different time!’, all that means is they lived through the past 50 years of social advancement and didn’t learn a damn thing.”

(I can’t remember where I read that, but the sentiment has stuck with me ever since.)

[witchnocturne-blog]

My Nana lived to be 100, and she was totally okay with my mom's interracial marriage. If I had come out before she died, she probably would have been cool with it too.

[witchnocturne-blog]

For future perusal.

[goodbyedearfriends-deactivated2]

also please remember before you buy or pick up bones you find, check if your state allows you to have bones in your possession and if you need to have certain permits in order to keep those bones. it’s a fun hobby but no hobby is worth a fine or possibly jail time.

the reasoning behind these laws are because greedy ass poachers are greedy and these laws are in place to protect wildlife from them.

[thedogandthewitch-deactivated20]

This goes for bird feathers too. Please, double check online to make sure the bird feather you are wanting to take home isn’t part of a protected species. It is illegal to collect protected bird feathers and bones. Game wardens are not nice about these types of fines either, trust me so even if you aren’t caught now when they do, it won’t be a happy interaction.

Most US states also specifically mention in their game & fish ordinances that collecting bird feathers is against the law as it distorts local game information and data needed to protect our local birds.

If you truly love animals you will respect these laws.

(Sorry to highjack your post Moth just had to add this)

[goodbyedearfriends-deactivated2]

No, I’m actually happy you added this! Thank you!

[witchnocturne-blog]

Don’t forget plants either. Some endangered plants are very hard to distinguish from more common plants. Also plant poaching is a thing, so some areas may have more strict laws to pay attention to.

things that make me believe in magic

- illuminated dust in the air

- the ancient atmosphere of forests

- hundreds upon thousands of snowdrops or bluebells

- songs that fill your soul

- falling snow

- the ever-changing moods of the sea

- the moon on a cool, clear night

- old buildings overgrown with plants

- when a seedling sprouts 

- the intelligence in a crow’s eyes

- being awoken by the early morning sun

- the energy of storms

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

Don’t armchair diagnose mass shooters and other killers. The misconception that all violent people must be mentally ill (and the following conclusion that all mentally ill people must be dangerous) has horrible real life consequences for visibly mentally ill people.

Schizophrenic people are 14 times more likely to be a victim of a violent crime than committing one because people assume that we’re homicidal and dangerous and may react very negatively to visibly mentally ill behavior, partly due to all the media portrayals of schizophrenics as violent killers.

50% of people killed by police are disabled or mentally ill (and the victims are disproportionately black or other people of color) because the unusual behavior of visibly disabled and visibly mentally ill people is read as inherently threathening and dangerous.

Please consider the real life consequences of reinforcing the association between mental illness and violence - people are dying because y'all want to blame all evil in the world on severe mental illness so that you can clearly separate yourself from it. You’re harming an already extremely vulnerable and marginalized group of people and it’s time to stop!

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

I encourage people who aren’t schizophrenic to reblog this. These stereotypes are literally getting people killed and I’ve seen no awareness around this on this website.

[houndofhecate]

IMPORTANT. 

Schizophrenia and mental illness, in general, are more likely to make one the victim of violence than perpetrator of it. 

[witchnocturne-blog]

I’m a caregiver, and one of my clients is autistic (among other things). After the Sandy Hook shooting, she came to me in tears, because she had heard that the shooter was autistic as well, and she was terrified that she was going to do something similar just because they shared a diagnosis. 

Another one of my clients is schizoaffective (among other things), and she’s the sweetest person ever. She makes friends wherever she goes, because she’s just so fun to be around. 

All of my clients want the same things as anybody else, to get a job, to find love, to make friends, to live in a stable environment of their choosing. Once you get to know them, they’re really not that different from a neurotypical person.

I was far more afraid of the guy walking around near where I work wearing a neo-nazi shirt and open carrying a gun than I ever have been of my clients. I’ve been far more afraid of what could happen when I’ve called the police after my clients’ have told me of abuse. I worry that the client who tends to talk before they think is going to insult someone on accident and get shot. I worry that the client with self-injurious behaviors is going to be assaulted because they scared someone. I worry that my client that wound up with a TBI and quadriplegia after a car accident is going to laugh too loud in the movie theater and someone’s going to lose their shit over it. 

All of my coworkers lowkey worry that someday they’re going to have to take a bullet for a client. None of us are afraid that it’s going to be the client shooting.

Philosophy with a minor in religion, but I dropped out with a year left. I lost my faith directly due to my studies and became agnostic. I practice secular witchcraft and honor (not worship) messenger deities as archetypes.

Bonsai apple tree growing a full-sized apple.

[kearunning]

A perfect balance of extremely impressive and completely ridiculous.

[aprillikesthings]

Apple trees are DETERMINED. My parents planted a twig of an apple tree, and that first year it grew one apple. And the whole thing was bent over from the weight of it. It had one job and by God it was gonna do it.

[oreos-in-a-parked-car]

Okay, whatever’s hanging around that keeps flitting through my right eye’s peripheral vision….

Knock that shit off.

I’m going out to buy cinnamon and cayenne pepper and when I get home, your ass is SO getting booted.

Ain’t got time for your ghostie nonsense today. Nope.

[dea-certe]

Cayenne pepper, huh? I’ll have to try that mix because my salt and sage isn’t working on whatever keeps scratching at my back door while I try to sleep.

[breelandwalker]

Oh honey….here, have a thing.

2 parts Cayenne Pepper 1 part Cinnamon 1 part Black Salt (equal parts salt and powdered charcoal) ½ part Black Pepper ½ part Powdered Eggshell

Shake it up, sprinkle it where you don’t want things coming in, pitch it in the corners to weed things out, toss a little on your doorsteps to keep the nasties from coming back.

Bree’s Banishing Powder. There are those who swear by it, including me.

[witchnocturne-blog]

Just make sure it’s not an animal or something. Our house has these weird scraping and knocking noises that had no apparent cause, and nothing I did was getting rid of them. Then I figured out it was crows cracking nuts on the roof, lol.
