This is so much fun. I love the spirit. I unironically love the solomonic tomato soup array.
ASSIGNMENT FOR MY FELLOW OCCULTISTS:
Recreate the Tomato Soup Sigil in your magical system of choice. Show me the runic soup array. A Tomato Cross. A Tomatvesir.
@rudjedet @thatlittleegyptologist how potentially real would a judeo-egyptian squirrel defixio be?
So this looks like a good read. Text: after half a year of work, my academic zine on the history of antisemitism & appropriation in western occult movements is done 🖤 a 22-page PDF full of citations, illustrated with historic & public domain images, pay-what-you-want (or FREE!): https://ezrarose.itch.io/fyma-a-lesser-key
I really need to do more studying and write an essay on how Americanism is a genuine folk religion which reveres capital and the vague concept of "the free market" as a god of providence to be pleased in order to lead a prosperous life, also that the founding fathers are prophetic, perhaps even messianic figures who basically gave birth to this god through the revolutionary war, and that the vast majority of conservative Christians in America revere capital more than the god they claim to serve in an ironic sort of golden calf situation.
I think you're just stupid, bro
no no this is very much a real phenomenon I think in academic settings it's called American Civic Religion americans are taught from a young age to essentially worship things like the flag and the constitution and the founding fathers and a lot of people basically still think like that it's fucked up man

Okay apparently some hotel in Tehran already made a stage adaptation of Corpse Bride and went balls to the walls with the costumes and sets??
This is a good time to remind everyone to swap from Apple to Android the next time they have the means and need to get a new phone
Android phones are almost universally...
Y'all have got to stop enabling Apple's insistence on being a fashion brand rather than providing electronics that respect your autonomy and decision making powers.
Next time you have a choice in the matter, go Android. One minute of being able to actually browse your file architecture without jumping through proprietary bullshit and you'll be hooked, I promise.
JUST A HEADS UP TO Y'ALL CONTEMPLATING SWITCHING: DO YOUR RESEARCH ON WHAT ANDROID PHONE YOU WANT.
This is because there is a massive variety on Android phones, as Android is open-source - yes you heard me! Open source which means you can have a lot of power if the open-source-ness of the OS was kept - and it means there can be really shitty phones out there. A lot of "cheap" Androids are bottom-of-the-barrel stuff you really should keep away from, and some are so terrible it's a scam.
A massive tip from me, is to go look up reviews from reputable phone tech Youtubers. Misterwhosetheboss, Marques Brownlee, and similar have some fantastic reviews on phones, and I recommend Misterwhosetheboss highly. Both of them are incredibly informative, and with Arun's backlog, you can find everything from a low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, or Extra-High-tier to fit you. Find a phone you think fits you, don't just switch blindly, and don't always take the most popular Android. 'Cos I can tell you, sometimes, a mid-tier phone can really challenge Samsung and whatever bs they have going on.
Basically, this is all to supplement OP's post, and apologies OP if I'm slightly obnoxious here. This is just kind of important to me, especially as I have contemplated making the jump myself. An Android can be wonderful, but choosing which fits you is such an important step. This is something your regular Apple user never thinks about; all most of us think about is if the phone is good, and if you want a fancier one, or if you care about the cameras. If we just suddenly jumped ship, we'd fall on our faces, or worse, shill out money to Samsung without thinking (ok jk but also serious because the bs with their flip phone pisses me off). Just, do your research and figure out what YOU want with your phone. Because Android unlocks a lot of doors to find YOUR special phone.
And maybe look up guides and how-tos when you make the switch, because some things may be the same, but others? Ho boy I've wanted to yeet a Lenovo pad into the wall from its absolute idiocy.
Anyway! Have fun! Screw Apple! Find the phone for you!
I sincerely hope that this post reached and convinced people to stop playing into Apple's game. If I convinced even 10% of the people in the notes (about 25,000 at the time of this reblog) to not get an iphone next upgrade, and if the avg. price of an iPhone is roughly $750, then I have personally cost Apple nearly 2 million dollars and this is one of my proudest achievements
I reblogged this once and found $999 on the floor.
Reblog the Money Susie and you’ll have money coming your way too 💵💵
Somewhere between (งಠ_ಠ)ง and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ every day.
Ah the ever elusive ¯\_( ಠ_ಠ)_/¯
I’m more like (งツ)ง tbh.
We sit to praise our pantheon, Hands clasped in thread and steel. For powers deftly laid upon, The needle, hook or wheel.
Benevolent though some may be, More love to steer astray. They’ll gift your pins to gravity, Or keep fused threads at bay.
Some take their tithe in first cloth cut, The smoothest, cleanest snip. Yet others drink the pin-prick blood, From scars on fingertips.
The brave may seek their council still, For pins lost or purls dropped. They’ll not shy from reseamed quilts, Or loops that come unlocked.
Though guidance they will offer plain, With payment clear as glass, Be wary of the terms explained, Lest tangled knots stay fast.
But still their songs are heard and felt, In heartbeats punched and sewn. Machine clunk drowning prayers that tell, You’ll not create, alone.
that’s right the newest favourite print to hang up in yalls crafting rooms!
Now I want to get married just so I can do this.
If I were a billionaire I would absolutely tell my secretary to send wedding gifts to anyone who sent me an invite regardless of if I knew them, because- A. I know how expensive that nonsense is. B. I would be a billionaire and when else am I gonna do with that much money? Honestly… and C. I would totally make showing up at random weddings with crazy awesome gifts my new stress relief hobby. “Congratulations random strangers! I admire your daring and stratigic planning. Here’s that 700$ tea set you wanted but assumed no one would ever buy.”
Do you even have to be getting married
Are they gonna check
Damn it sure is
“we invited an eccentric billionaire to our fake wedding in the hopes of getting a free present, but then they said they would come and now we have to have an actual fake wedding for them to attend.”
movie plot right there
grateful that my life experience has lead to me having an interesting character and grounded worldview...but GOD i wish i was a trustfund nepotism baby soooo bad
✨just fandom things✨
This is how I met my spouse!
No more zodiac signs. If you were the main character and you finally brutally murdered somebody to show the audience that you are no longer the upstanding young man you were at the beginning and that you had "snapped," what song would be playing in that scene?
Reblogging again. Firefox is an excellent, safe and fast browser and everyone should consider using it.
Don’t just consider it. If you have the ability to switch to Firefox, this is your official notice to do it.
If you’re saying, “well, I need Chrome because I need such-and-such extension for my job”, the computer will not explode if you install another browser. Use Chrome ONLY for work tasks and use Firefox for everything else. If you’re concerned about losing your bookmarks, Firefox can import your Chrome bookmarks.
[ID: Firefox Library window. The “Import and Backup” panel is expanded, displaying the option, “Import Data from Another Browser”, which is also circled with a red MS Paint ellipse. ID end.]
Forgot a thing. Subscribe to Mozilla VPN for bonus points. It’s basically the only truly secure VPN service in the world right now.
For $5 a month, you can completely conceal your online activities from your ISP in a manner that isn’t just immediately monetised or turned over to the cops. No, it’s not free, it does cost money, but the money doesn’t go to line a billionaire’s pockets.
I wonder how much of this is because of work/school from home forcing people to use Chrome so all their stupid monitoring softwares and platforms can work.
This is also your reminder that you don’t have to use just one browser. You can use chrome for all the monitoring bullshit your office wants you to run and use firefox for everything else.
Be sure to add the multi account containers extension to your firefox, which allows you to be logged in to multiple accounts on the same website at the same time in the same window but in different tabs.
look on my five open tumblr accounts (not sideblogs, accounts!) ye mighty and despair.
Firefox is super good, folks. It’s good in a general “google shouldn’t own everything in the entire fucking world” sense AND in a “this is an actual good product that does lots of cool shit” sense.
ALSO make sure to add the Ublock origin extension on Firefox - I haven’t seen a youtube ad in five years and you don’t have to either.
While you’re at it, why not add the Wayback Machine extension so that if you go looking for a page that has been taken down the wayback machine will automatically offer you an archived version instead; also handy for documenting people’s shitty takes and winning arguments after they delete the original post!
Worried that Firefox is going to slow down your computer? In benchmarks, modern versions of chrome and firefox are pretty much the same speed but you can still install the auto tab discard extension ANYWAY so that it will snooze unused tabs in order to keep your computer running faster. Set it to sleep, discard, close, and store tags at your discretion!
And while you’re at it: install Firefox as your mobile browser for android and add those extensions to your mobile browser! Mobile adblock is here, baybee, save your data and enjoy a better mobile experience! And install it on iOS! iOS can’t add extensions, but at least it’s better than safari, and if you want a somewhat more private iOS browsing experience try firefox focus for iOS (which is also available on android but you can accomplish the same thing with extensions).
Anyway, firefox is good.
Also: in January 2023, Chrome is making some changes to plugin architecture that effectively neutering adblockers. If you want good adblocking, you won’t have it in Chrome. Use Firefox
(In fairness, some Chrome-derived browsers like Vivaldi and Opera have openly parted ways with Chrome about this, and more power to them, but Firefox is the way to go.)
Some internet language things I really like:
Custom Engraving Available Here
Robots getting engraved tattoos yes
I love how the engraver’s tats are geometric, and the robot’s are organic!
