Craving brownies atm, what about you?
The garden lasted a few months. Then, an agent of the town’s housing authority found out about it and told my mother it was against the rules. “But no one’s using the land,” I remember her arguing. “The kids in the neighborhood play there.” The response was clear: Get rid of the garden or be evicted. Here was another one of those impossible choices of poverty. This was what my classmates would never understand, as they earnestly debated welfare fraud and the grasping desperation of the undeserving poor.
My mother stopped tending the garden and the next weekend a maintenance worker came and poured something onto the soil that made all the plants die and turned the grass brown.
This is what they did all over bushwick. The older black folks would start gardens ,especially on Broadwag,and the city would tear them up and pour bleech and rat poison and put up barbed wire and "no tresspassing" signs . Brutalized a beautiful sanctuary in the city.
Now white folks want them,NOW they're "community gardens" allowed to flourish.

For starters, if you don’t know who Crowley was (no, not the Supernatural dude), he was a 1900s occultist who coined a portion of what modern witchcraft uses today, such as the word “magick” which he, although did not ‘invent’, popularised. (you’ll learn why I denounce that term and try to educate people who use it in a second). He was, in a nutshell, everything modern society hates. Racist, antisemitic, sexist, you name it and Crowley was it.
Crowley wrote several books about the occult, some of them having slightly useful information and still are referenced today, but his occult books are not what I intend to talk about. Little known to most, Crowley wrote an essay entitled “The Jewish Problem”, that title is enough of a disgrace, but what is actually IN the writing is atrocious, which I will be going over in a second. In other writing, he refers to Jewish people as “parasites”, “a barbarous race”, talks about how Jewish people are their bad stereotypes, among other things. This article does a wonderful job of compiling some of his worst quotes and explaining how racist he really is, as well as explaining some of the undertones of the quotes.
- “Christians and other troglodytes — but most especially the parasites of man, the Jews (The New Comment on Liber AL, III:11)“
- “the Jews were an entirely barbarous race, incapable of any spiritual pursuit. (preface to 777, printed in The Equinox, Vol. 1, No. 8)”
- “A similar case is presented by the Jew, who really does only too often possess the bad qualities for which he is disliked (Confessions, chapter 54)“
- “But in America, the Christian elements have been removed so that wealthy Jews may reach the summit of masonry. (Confessions, chapter 72)“
- “It has been said that every nation has the government which it deserves. I would add, the type of Jew which it deserves. (Confessions, chapter 61)“
- “the Jews are a critically important factor in the social and economic problems of the day (Confessions, chapter 75)“
Anyway, he also used to throw slurs at his Jewish friend Victor Neuburg and admitted to being interested in fascism multiple times.
As for quotes from The Jewish Problem:
- “Israel has corrupted the world, whether by conquest, by conversion, or by conspiracy. The Jew has eaten his way into everything.”
- “The Jew, living so long on sufferance, by subterfuge, servility, and self-effacement, has taught his tricks to the whole world.“
- And many, many, many more.
Some of his comments on other groups of people:
- About Chinese people: “One cannot fraternize with the Chinese of the lower classes; one must treat them with absolute contempt and callousness“ / “The Chinese does not respect the white man as the Indian does — for his possession of high moral qualities.“
- About Mexican people: “Neither the coyotes nor the turkey-buzzards will touch a dead Mexican. His flesh has been too thoroughly impregnated with chillies and other pungent condiments.”
- About black people: “Where Islam and Christianity meet in open competition, as in some parts of Africa, it is found that only the lowest type of Negro, such as is accustomed to arrange matters with conscience by hanging a rag on a piece of stick, accepts Christianity”
- About Indian people: “I am not fond of Benaglis at the best and he as the worst specimen of his race I have ever seen. He was fat and oily, with small piglike treacherous eyes.”
Crowley also heavily used the term “black magic” in reference to the “dark art” types of witchcraft, this term is now considered racist by a good portion of the community. Not to mention he was also a regular user of the N slur! I’m talking hard-R.
He was also heavily misogynistic and sexist, as if the dude wasn’t enough of a crapshoot. Here is a list of all the gross, sexist things he’s said!
Anyway,
I never much liked the usage of magic with a K to start with, but I’ve been learning more and more about AC as time has passed, I’ve started denouncing it entirely and educating people about it’s connections to him as best as I can, most people have no idea how awful he is. It’s scary to think that someone so despicable is still heavily referenced and worshiped in the Occult community, so I wanted to finally make this post. I am asked a lot about it and why I hate the term “magick” so much, now you all know. I hope you will consider using the terms witchcraft, or even just magic rather than adding the K at the end, because we all know what the K stands for now, and who it represents. This is not even the beginning of how awful he was, there is so much more that can be dug up. I encourage you to do it, research him and understand how absolutely terrible he was. Please.
In conclusion:
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Special thanks to @alistaires
EA really said fuck you huh!!!
This girl said the n word, wore a durag, did blackface TWICE and is in a scandal right now for wearing an outfit clearly inspired by African cultures. She just keeps going, all antiblack all day.
and to be clear to anyone outside of the Kpop fandom: hwasa (and by extension mamamoo) have made this their career. They’ve been caught doing that shit too many times for them not to have learned better— this has been going on for Y E A R S. a lot of kpop groups are guilty of appropriation, but nobody does it quite like mamamoo. they’re at a point in their career where they have agency over their creative direction. There’s no excuse.

I’m in need of covid relief resources centered around black women, especially in the New Jersey/New York area. My friend , Whose living in New Jersey , has gotten no relief during the entirety of quarantine and she wasn’t eligible for unemployment.
Her current living situation is a danger to both her mental and physical health. She also hasn’t been regularly eating for months. If anyone can link me to resources that aid black women financially, please do. The idea is that she’ll have money to eat , and save towards moving out, so I don’t have a numeric goal necessarily.
The goal is to help a black woman in need.
I’m really hoping this post can gain as much traction as the last, so if you have a large platform that centers black women, a reblog would be helpful. If you can, please donate. Any amount is appreciated, even $1. Thank you.

NOT very pleased with my fellow nonbinaries right now as it were not very pleased at all
hotgirlkakashi
Cannot stress this enough: transfeminine nonbinary people exist and us transmasculine/tme nonbinary people are actively making our community unwelcoming and dangerous for them. From posts that assume every other nonbinary person is also transmasculine to resources for nonbinary people only covering things like binders and packers, we are failing our transfem siblings. Especially when you all play into that “binary privilege” bullshit idc WHO u are but “binary” trans people do not oppress us. In fact we transmasculine nonbinary people can and often are violently transmisogynistic and hurt trans women. We HAVE to do better
also just to add: for the love of god please STOP saying “tme (transmisogyny exempt)” is a phrase for trying to work out what genitals you have! trans women specifically created the terms “transmisogyny exempt” and “transmisogyny affected” in response to criticism of the afab/amab labels. there are amab people who are also TME (like cis men), so this idea that “tme” correlates to your genitals/gender assigned at birth is a lie, and is a way to demonise trans women. also, we need to learn that “trans woman” and “trans lesbians” have specific connotations (they are terms for transmisogyny affected). there are some tme non-binary people who call themselves trans lesbians not realising this, so we tme non-binary people need to do better in respecting trans women and these boundaries!

Update
Gillian Philip is doxxing fans and MINORS now. A fan recently sent her an email voicing their concerns about her views and the impact they have on her work and fan base. Gillian decided to post the fan’s full name and email address to their PUBLIC Twitter in an attack. The fan is a MINOR who runs a Warriors fan account. How disgusting do you have to be to dox and potentially HARM a MINOR!?
in case anyone (like me) was just hearing about this, Gillian works on the Erin Hunter team and is now openly a TERF.
she works on Survivors and Bravelands.

see that checkered flag? it’s a TERF dogwhistle, something they put in their usernames or bios to let other transphobes know they’re one of them. if you come across someone using it, avoid avoid avoid.
Reblogging for the dog-whistle info, it’s important

Transparency is important, bro.
I’m fully not shit. But I am secure enough in myself to honestly tell y’all that having an undercut absolutely saves money, and time, on braiding hair.
