mm quiet again

7ydy is a great friend and sweetie. Help her out if you can.

That is why, though Kant is wrong about nonhuman animals (nonhuman animals have rights), Kant is right that lacking rights is not enough for you to be justified in treating something cruelly. Cruelly treating something with apparent humanlike characteristics undermines the norm

Full moon might be a good time to set some bad ass intentions, for those so inclined. "Get in good trouble" as the late great John Lewis said, and set your path for the waning days coming. Me? Bringing some foot stomping energy & focus for the work. #witchsky #fullmoon #goodtrouble #tempest

i am a vengeful spirit of a woman in life and i will be one in death too

Specifically, they told me that the primary intent of the language people felt were intended to go after furries was to be able to take down ai/deepfake content intended to look like “the real thing” quickly.

So I had a call with someone at Bluesky, and obviously, we still want to keep our eyes peeled for problems, but I came out of it pretty reassured that it’s not Bluesky’s intent to go after furry art and queer expression.

I haven't done any practicing in the last like 2-3 months and it's really starting to bring me down

Wiccan Reads: The New Aradia & The Gorgon’s Guide to Magical Resistance I’m sure it won’t be news to anyone, particularly my American readers, that we are currently living in very dark times. Ever since Barack Obama took the Oath of Office in 2009, the Republican Party, once the stronghold of…

Washer at the Ford ~ by @nomeart.bsky.social This image was inspired by the last chapter in the ‘Prayers to the Morrigan’ book titled ‘Prayers for Times of Grief’.

I definitely have this. 🖤

It’s honestly ridiculous to claim that “transsexuals” are being oppressed by other trans people who haven’t transitioned. This is not a serious argument or opinion. This is a parody of oppression Olympics.

Kuroneko. 1968. Two brutally murdered women return as shape-shifting ghosts, killing passing samurai. A standout folk horror from the director of Onibaba. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Salmon of Knowledge Aka~the smart fish who ate the nuts. Important part of ancient Irish mythology and lore. Done with pastel pencils.

Same goes for ANY Queer organizations. Literally, Black queer people founded the modern LGBTQIA civil rights movement.

Hailing from hills of Leicestershire, Black Annis is a blue-skinned, steel-fingered witch and bogeyman who wants nothing more than to devour children she finds. Living in a cave, she wears a belt of leather from the skin of children. Seems nice. #FolkyFriday 🎬: Doom Patrol

#MythologyMonday The Cailleach Bheur of Celtic folklore is reborn annually at Samhain [October 31st] as an old woman. She takes the tartan cloth that she wears to the Corryvreckan Maelstrom, washing the it until it is bleached white and becomes the snow blanket that covers the winter landscape ...

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE RAVENIZED

This is the Second Battle of Moytura. It took everything they had for the Tuatha De to win, and an assist from Lugh, but they still won. So can we. As She told me recently: “You think you’re lost. You’re not.” “Be strong. Be wise. Fear not.” “Not now. Not in future. Not ever.”

I really have no patience for the assertion that "democracy is lost for a generation." I have even less patience for the implication, in subsequent skeets, that all is lost and the fascist project will inevitably succeed.

Lol, and yet, not wrong.

In #JapaneseFolklore baku are chimera #yokai known as dream-eaters. If you wake from a bad dream it is possible to call on the baku to eat the nightmare. But beware, if the baku is too hungry it can eat your dreams and aspirations too. It is believed that Baku were created... #MythologyMonday 1/3

turns out nah

maybe you're different. Maybe you're better than the gods

#WitchTip So you cannot use dried hydrangea flowers as incense. They are poisonous because of a chemical called amygdalin. Which is a cyanogenic glycoside. Which means when you burn it, it creates cyanide gas 😅 This is unpleasant. Please do not. 😅😅😅🙃🥲 #WitchSky #Herbies #WitchMadness

I saw what I suspect Gretchen might have been suspended for, and quite frankly, it is exasperating just how much dehumanizing rhetoric and abuse trans women are forced to endure from the top down, yet if one of us dares to snap back or say something in a moment of anger how quickly the hammer drops.

There is no preserved Irish Pagan creation myth. Anything you see claiming to be that is modern & basically fiction It's fine if one of these stories speaks to you but it's important not to forward it as historic material. It being presented as "genuine" causes a lot of confusion

I really think a lot of social media conflicts could be avoided if people just talked to each other and genuinely listened before jumping on the callout train. I am truly fucking tired of parasocial assholes on social media deciding I believe shit I never said because they swallowed some bullshit.

Everyone in any fandom right now is fighting against censorship right now except for this self-described cluster of mean girls who are trying to tighten the range of acceptable expression even further, purely as a means for beefing.

oh theres a word for it

August 1 is Lughnasadh (LOON-sa) the festival in Irish mythology halfway between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox, marking the start of the harvest season. Lughnasadh lands three months after Beltane, the May Day celebration, and three months before Samhain (aka Halloween).

Cheers 🍻 Lughnasadh is one of the 4 major Celtic fire 🔥 festivals. Traditionally celebrated on August 1st, it marks the beginning of the harvest season and honors the god Lugh🕯, a central figure in Irish mythology. www.pagangrimoire.com/lughnasadh-c... #irish #festival #celtic #fire #light

In the interest of gender equality: We need to get cis women pissing standing up at urinals.

republicans said "there are some nuances to work out" and are now onto strong arming universities into banning us from academic building bathrooms in the name of "protecting women's sports". the fact that it's not really about sports and never has been continues to be ignored.

Moon Books is starting a new series called 'The Popular Pagan History of Britain and Ireland' meant to offer solid, accessible information on a range of history relating to pagans in a format similar to the pagan portals series. I'll be contributing a book on the ancient Druids.

So my two summer godesses are oploaded to the webshop. Jörð and Áine #pagansky

I hate this website so much!
