You don't make the world better by dying for a cause. You make the world better by living for one. No movement with your best interests in mind will demand your death.

You ever amazed at hummingbirds being only of the Americas, & yet they slotted into ideas imaginings a metaphor that had awaited its symbol

Listening to Solomonic Magic Addendum & Is this to say "Solomonic Magic"is less a tradition or method & more of an aesthetic or vibe? Because like the use of Solomonic elements outside of Solomonic traditions & viceversa; like the islandic galdrbok is "Solomonic" but it is closer to LLF

Is the diadocchos stone just glass?

My favorite VN. There are very few VNs that can write such believable and grounded characters. Sometimes felt like they were taking things right out of my life lol. Definitely the best $3 I spent. Looking forward to the finish product.

I hate the use of dimension for "other realm or modality of existence"

May I offer you an eel in these trying times? #ocean #art #eel

I'm listening to Delulu Donald & it is wild he puts terrazo floors on par with nuclear war. Like cheap marble flooring (which is what he'd have put in) is cheaper and ages worse a two inch deep terrazo pavements (Also symbolically if you got crushed hardstone from all member countries ... right)

Hello! I am Nathan, a disabled traditional artist from Brazil I have 12 (soon to be 13??) kitties and 2 dogs and love drawing critters of all kinds! I work with a variety of styles and mediums! thecatfortress.carrd.co

Actually the king of fauns, & father of Marsyas taking over Delphi & the tiller of fate is... Apt for this age we are in. Marsyas after all founded, so said the Romans, the custom of not holding one's tongue back. For all his propriety Apollo cheated & did avenge his dignity wickedly

They say satyre is dead But it is now the path of the cosmos They mistook for dead the great god Pan in truth he became lord of all creation Apollo yielded his shrine in Delphi & loosened hold of the omphalos But no one told the shepherds nor drove away the god in the caves of mount parnasus

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a phapping, As of some one gently phapping, phapping at my glass door. “Ignore the note and let me in!” -Ronin 🎨 by the talented @noswift.art and you did another amazing job my friend!

Does anyone remember Soren, my unofficial Bluesky mascot? Caretaker of the little blue birds that represent Xitter refugees. 💙 #bsky #dragon #furry #furryart

Oh! Murrachate (that is to say the agate which smells of Myrrh) is opaque amber

So. Apparently yesterday & today the dinosaurs were supposed to arrise? Did anyone get et?

Idea for fantastical world Different limits Like for the medieval mind, to engage with the sea & stars systems of spheres were seen & through esoteric forms visited. Simultaneously the world was flat. A hemisphere floating in the chaos & through magic one could step outwards to visit the Paradise m

I literally needed to know this exact thing, so thanks to this guy.

3 countries have moved to UNDECIDED on Chat Control, meaning we're now down to only 8 countries opposing. I know it's exhausting, but please keep calling, mailing and spreading the word. Maybe even make posts like this calling for action in your native tongue? fightchatcontrol.eu

Mars Aries in house one is... Of course the more people insist me on something the more rambastard I get. Oh you think I should show more decorum. & the clash of horn. Oh I am too restless at night? Fuck that headphones coming off.

How’s this?

If you live in a region where your local stations are preempting tonight's Jimmy Kimmel, send them an email tomorrow morning with a firm "I had no idea you were one of THOSE stations and I'm contacting your ADVERTISERS!"

Dnd character idea A cloisterd cleric or cha to kn religion cleric of Bahamut. Acts with the bonhomie typical of the serpent of unsullied light... until he runs into Lstupid Paladin types or heretic cultists. Then goes all fire & brimstone in an explosive manner, very dragon, very

The first impulse to make a joke not joke on there being the root of ornithology. But then I read carefully & a sadness took me "he'd never been so happy as when he rejoiced at... ships...returning safely" What harm did he cause by his joy that a cure was needed?

A better world is possible

Saw someone (ostensibly) try their first pomegranate & but for the albeit laboriousness of getting the food bits One can see why one stays underground for six months

Me, going through lists of minerals to try & figure what certain gemstones were There are SO MANY smargards & sappireus & So generally it is understood that the stone "favored by Saturn" was the "blue stone" Now a common substitute for lapis lazuli both for gems & pigment, was azurite

I am ever amazed Ever delighted In the expressiveness of eyes & how they (when detached through animation from the constrictions of muscle & bone) reveal much of the interiority

We're commonwealth Romans unable to like conceptualize >1 year Bc even their marriage alliances held for little more than that. Would Stalinist 5 year plans cause a patrician to explode?

Last request of the summer was Bowser! So silly, I guess he's on duty. Special thanks to all of my patrons :D

Observation on archaeomagical operations: Some of the stuff just sorta works, lots of leeway for sigils &c But it works better as one develops understanding of it, like picking out key words in the onomata, finding epoisopsephic words, myth-paths, analogies &c That's part of why the quadripartitus

I just remembered that one of my figure is the same height as the bull. I can use the clothes for him ahah. Need to cut the arms to be able to put the robe though... XD.

Little known fact: when talking about the seals in Revelation John of Patmos uses the word foke rather than sfragis but because of his penmanship we have inherited the idea of wax stamps rather than seven pinipeds atop a book

Today's Druid of Hungwood work - Murag / Clint www.kickstarter.com/projects/ypr...

I've been noticing more & more videos with objects reflecting parts of the video itself & i wonder, given the impermanence of genai "memory" if it is a way to signal "human here"

I recently read this thing on Sumerian astrology that mentioned that planets would be called different things, embody different gods, depending on like where they were in the sky Something like how in Egyptian religion the sun is Ra but disk is Aten, Khnum is the setting sun, & dawn is Kephri &c

So apparently people called the monkeys that were used in the development of polio vaccines "sacred monkeys" & I don't know if the type of macaque used was culturally sacred in Asia, or if this was something spun by the media but if it is the latter, like with them sent to die in space...

Thinking of choices which alter a word while leaving it intact Determiners of a sort that say, don't read it in this way or read it in another. How those signs let our meanings slip, pushing performance such that one day the words may split asunder, protofuture readings of typography as phonology

Its gonna sound arrogant & dumb bc it is but thst thing AI ppl worry about, alignment, is trivial to fix It is so straightforward that it exposes how all these dweebs, from the bloodsuite to the codemines, are at best profoundly unserious if not outright charlatans & flimflamistas

@illconceivedpodcast.com Listening to the quiver-full podcast & re Helpmate It is a poor translation. In Greek the word used in the Greek is BoēÞos which is a more... military than domestic term. The noun/verb boē is the calling out for reinforcements, the shouted instructions on how to be saved

It's wild how narrow our sight into the past is

sociology is when you describe something as a "milieu" and the more you describe things as milieus the sociologister it is

Situs Inversus is wild I wonder if the priests of Huitzilopotchli ever encountered it & what they made of such a condition

In narratives of end times & such things I like those that prefigure the time through an abundance of small wonders & befuddling signs. All around the world blisters that pop let fall a crystalline ringsel. Incense burns so clean it releases neither smoke nor ash but just the smell of sanctity.

I've got a moment, so I'll take this: Mabon ap Modron is a figure from Welsh mythology. This name was never used for the #AutumnEquinox until Aidan Kelly created this bit of fakelore in the 1970s. If you really want a witchy-sounding name for the Autumn Equinox, try Harvest Home or Ingathering…

Listening to @illconceivedpodcast.com saying Lutherans are the original Protestants & Jan Hus is hovering there staring daggers

Was thinking about how people idolize small farming communities (cf Cato the Catty) especially nowadays indicating a distance from the difficulties & vagaries of agriculture & how that reflects on the less flattering attitude taken towards agricultural deities.
