happy pride month to all the straight trans men & women who have to constantly see posts saying that straight people don’t belong in pride. you have every right to celebrate pride month, too, just as much as anyone else does. 🌈💖

I think the reason I enjoy Ghibli so much is it romanticizes the little things. It makes me want to bake, study, clean the house, garden, and more while listening to happy music and occasionally picking wildflowers and lying in the grass. It helps me find joy in day-to-day life and that’s honestly sooo important for my mental health.

Hayao Miyazaki has said on numerous occasions that he wants children to know that even when the world seems harsh and life is hard, it is always still worth living, and there is always something beautiful in it.

That mental health boost is intentional and Miyazaki wants you to believe that you should continue to live, even if just for those little things.

The fact that it’s illegal to be gay in 75 countries and that homosexuality is punishable by death in 10 countries and you can be refused service because of your homosexuality and you still can’t get gay married everywhere people still have the audacity to talk about straight pride as if straight people face any of the same kind of discrimination that LGBT people do just makes me SO ANGRY 

one of my favorite threats is “youre not invited to my birthday party anymore”.

from ages 4 to 11 its one of the most heinous things you can say, then 12 through 17 its just embarassing cuz teenz think that thats a childish thing to say, but from 18 onward, it only gets more and more effective, if only because it confuses the person youre speaking to.

its like a verbal smoke bomb. it catches them off guard and disorients them to the point that they might not even know how to react.

Now you’ve thrown them off their rhythm

🌱How I made my magic terrarium 🔮🎀

Hello beautiful witches 💞! Now I want to share with you how I made magic terrarium 🌱.

First at all, I used:

🌹Glass form (I picked simple glass form, later it will be easier to plant your plants)

🌸Drainage ( For my drainage I used a small simple crystals, like quartz, agate, carnelian ans others)

🏵Charcoal

💮Plants substrate ( I used the cheapest one)

🌼 Succulents, Cactus

🌻Moss

🌺Crystals

Step 1

After that, when I choosed a glass form, I started with drainage. For my drainage I used a big stones small crystals. First I put down a big stones (you can find them in the forest or park), then a small crystals (2 centimetres over the surface). They will make my terrarium magic.🔮

Step 2

I have a couple of cockatiels, so I used their coal for my terrarium. Add a coal cover the surface.

Step 3

I added a plants substrate and my succulents.

Step 4

Add moss. Moss you can find everywhere: in park, in forest. Bring a bit moss to your home, and left it for a day. After that day if your moss still looks hod you cam use it for you terrarium.

Step 5

Add crystals or other decor into your terrarium.

Some tipps:

💜Don’t mix succulents and leafy plants. Leafy plants needs more water than succulents.

💛Use a long time growing up plants.

That’s all. Thank you for your attention.

Sorry if my english was bad.

Blessed be!

🔮 Tarot Tip 🌙

If you’re a beginner and you’re still struggling with reading spreads, try doing, what I like to call, the “storybook method.” Draw a few cards and try to tell a story with them. Let the imagery of the cards guide you. 

Creating short stories with your cards is a fun and easy way to learn how to connect cards to each other.

Ok but that reminds me of this shitty family guy scene where Peter tells Brian, “There’s a message in my Alpha-bits. It says, ‘Ooo!’ ”

Then Brian says, “Peter, those are Cheerios.”

90% of being a witch is getting these little random spurts of energy that make you want to create 10 spell jars, 6 altars, 7 sachets, 3 potions, 20 tarot spreads, 45 sigils, and a poppet all in the span of 5 minutes

As all witches know, herbs are a vital part of the craft. I am so lucky to be blessed with a large garden, and me and my husband grow an abundance of herbs for both magickal and culinary purposes. I have been drying my own herbs for years, and keep my cupboard well stocked! For me, drying my own herbs has yielded so much benefits, such as:

• It works out so much cheaper then buying from the grocery store.

• Its so much better for the environment. Think about the packaging that herbs come in when you buy from the grocery store that gets thrown away! We store our herbs in labelled glass jars, and the process is absolutely zero-waste.

• Its a lot of fun! I absolutely adore the entire process, it feels very earthy, witchy and it is so rewarding to produce commonly bought things yourself!

Currently, my inventory of dried herbs that I have prepared myself is as follows: Basil, thyme, parsley, coriander/cilantro, rosemary, oregano, sage, dill, lavender, tarragon, chamomile, peppermint, lemonbalm and many more. I use these dried herbs for teas and infusions, cooking and witchcraft. I also keep a fair amount of these herbs for using fresh!

Does this sound like something that appeals to you? If you have the space for a herb garden, it is definitely achievable, even if it is just on a balcony or windowsill!

Harvesting: the best time to harvest herbs is when they have plenty of healthy foliage to allow further growth. Regularly snipping actually allows herbs to thrive and encourages new growth! To keep my herbs healthy, I regularly snip off dead leaves and harvest healthy, abundant foliage while leaving enough to spare for the plant. The absolute BEST time to harvest is early in the morning after the dew evaporates, but before the suns rays start to evaporate the essential oils within the leaves, which happens when exposed to heat throughout the day. Use scissors to cleanly snip the foliage off the plant.

• Drying: After harvesting, it is important to dry herbs quickly to preserve flavor. After washing herbs, make sure to pat dry gently, you don’t want any moisture in preparation for air drying. To air dry it is very simple! Tie an elastic or piece of string around the base of the herbs to create a bundle. Then you want to hang them upside down in a warm, dry and dust free area out of direct sunlight. I use a drying rack and peg the herbs upside down and then hang the drying rack up, however you can use a clothes hanger or hang them on a line! Some people like to wrap a brown paper bag around the herb bundles when drying. This a) stops leaves falling onto the ground when dry and crumbly, and b) keeps them from gathering dust, etc.

You will know your herbs are dry when they feel dry and crumbly in texture.

Storing: After my herbs are dry and brittle to the touch, I separate the leaves from the stems and store in clean, airtight glass jars that are labelled so I know which herb goes where. I keep the leaves while and crumble just before cooking, as I believe this helps to retain flavor, but I know some people will crumble dried herbs with a mortar and pestle before storing. Keep your dried herbs in a cool, dark place away from humidity, and enjoy! 🌿

make comics about funny shit not about real life

no

i think this is funny as fuck

agreed, and also you can use clear nail polish or any kind of laquer coat to bring back the wet effect permanently

Getting rocks wet to see what they really look like is half of my hobby. Godspeed and happy hounding!

( اللهم اغفر لي ذنبي كله دقه وجله وأوله وآخره وعلانيته وسره )

( O Allaah!  Forgive me for all of my sins, the small and large of them, the first and last of them, the open and the secret of them. )
