The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting.”

MAKE A BACK-UP: A SOLLUX SPELL
Sollux Captor is known for many things, but “coming back to life” and “computer programming” are two of the most prominent. This spell combines these two traits to help you. This spell aims to create a back-up, a safety net, a free man, a get-out-of-jail-free-card, so if something in your future goes wrong, you can bounce back unscathed. This spell is a preventive spell to be used before the fact, to help protect your future in luck, love, fortune, or otherwise.
I’m trying to experiment with spells that use more traditional witchy ingredients, while being a little simpler in the process itself. I hope this works well.
What you will need:
A Glass Jar with a Lid
A Horseshoe Magnet, preferably blue/red (Like this)
One or More Symbol(s) of what you’d like to protect
Aluminum Foil
Paper and Pens
Sticky Label/Post-it Note
Optional: A Lil’ Bit of Honey
ITS APRIL 13 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

Hell: are consorting with an Angel?
Crowley: yes? Are all you slackers not out there seducing any Angels? You got no game, is that it Hastur? You hating on me because you can’t get any Angel to feel an ounce of Temptation? Tell me, how’s it feel to be so unsexy you try and make one of my greatest demonic acts look traitorous?
Heaven: are you consorting with a Demon?
Aziraphale, combing his hair: I’m sorry, are you not filled with enough of Her love to open your heart to those who need it most? Now pass me that lip gloss
people like “no ace discourse please” and yet reblog the most horrid posts against ace people.
honestly you guys will reblog sexually charged comments about ace people, compare them to horrible people and expect them to take it?? And not call you out?? God forbid, ace people actually don’t like being treated less than a human.
this website stopped having brain cells when y’all decided that this was acceptable.
anyways, ace people deserve to be treated with respect and the right to call people out when they’re not.
People in the comments being all bitter. As if the arts aren’t out here giving you a reprieve from all the shit y'all go through. As if the arts aren’t out here making sure you live a little bit instead of just surviving.
I hate it when your parents are like “I know you better than you know yourself!” Like no you don’t
Like oh, you’re an expert on the inner machinations of my psyche? Name three of my top ten existential dreads
“But I raised you!” Ya and the only version of me that you know is the one I carefully crafted so that you wouldn’t ask me questions because it became obvious early on you couldn’t handle the honest answers
Me to my mum two days ago “You’ve known me almost 26 years and still can’t remember how much I despise corned beef.”
2020 does NOT pass the fucking vibe check what in the fuck is this
New Moon in Aries
🌙 24th March 2020
The first new moon of a new lunar cycle is here! It’s important to set the right tone, so make sure to use the energy to manifest your wishes and hopes for the upcoming year.
We are starting off the lunar cycle on a more heavy and challenging note. Aries moon just by itself can be a bit challenging, because it is ruled by the aggresive planet Mars, but there are also many aspects adding to the intensity of this new moon.
This moon conjuncts Chiron - an asteroid all about loss, sickness and healing your wounds. I am sure we can all feel how this is influencing the world right now. Lilith, another dark asteroid, conjuncts the new moon as well, which only adds to the energy of unknown, hidden and dark. North node is squaring the moon and that leads to unavoidable karmic lessons.
But everything is not just as negative as it may seem. We have Saturn supporting the moon with a sextile. Saturn will bring patience and help us get through the difficult times. Just keep working hard and going forward. You might feel as if you’re stuck, but don’t worry, everything is moving at the right pace.
Set your intentions to be more bold and courageous. Most importantly, make sure to take action. Aries is all about taking the first steps, so whatever your intuition’s been telling you to do, do it now. Don’t waste this energy.
is this metaphor good or really fucking pretentious, a novel by me
Is this passage emotionally gut-wrenching or am I just a disaster, a sequel by me
will I dox myself with the amount of self-projection I am heaping on these characters, a follow-up novella.
Stop talking about me.
movies about apocalypses: it’s every man for himself!! you can’t trust anyone, it’s a wasteland of solo travelers and sad families, we’re alone out here

Apocalypse preppers who fantasise about all our artificial rules and governments falling away in times of chaos seem to forget that we invented those rules and governments. Over and over. When you put humans near each other, they group up and make a society; that’s why those governments exist. Do they think we magically stop doing that in dangerous situations? Because… we don’t.

dihydrogenmonoxideawareness
Why would anyone want to consume it!?
I teach my 7th graders about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.
I bring in a graduated cylinder of it and we talk about how it’s used in nuclear power plants and gmo crops. How inhaling even the small amount I’m holding can lead to suffocation or even death. It’s found in vaccines and cancer cells, but also in infant formula and pet food. It is a huge component of acid rain, can cause severe burns, and has been found in places that were thought to be the most pristine and unpolluted locations on earth.
We talk about how there are little to no regulations on this chemical. No bans, no warning labels, and most manufacturers don’t even have to disclose their use of it in their products.
My students are outraged. We talk about what we can do. Create posters and flyers to spread awareness. Contact our senators with petitions to ban DHMO. Spread this information all over social media.
Then I explain that the real problem with dihydrogen monoxide is that….when I am thirsty…there is just nothing else as refreshing, and then I watch their looks of absolute shock and horror as I drink the entire vial down.
I. Fucking. Love. This.
This is how misinformation works. How propaganda works. How manipulation works.
nerdy-pharmacy-daydreams
may our education be stronger than fake news
Amen.
To those who don’t get it:
“Dihydrogen monoxide” is the chemical name for water, AKA H2O.
another important element of understanding the joke is understanding how pH levels work
yup. that’s a higher number alright.
“Everyone who has ever touched or consumed this chemical has died”
I'm expecting all of u to use this time to get weirder. if ur not at least a lil bit batshit by the end of it Whats the fucking point
if you haven’t heard what disney just did to their college program cast members, including the ones who came from other countries, do me a favor and learn about it, talk about it, share it, spread it, i need this to be known. i need this to not go away. they need to face consequences for what they just did to THOUSANDS of employees (most of which are under the age of 25) with such a short notice. please dont let them hide what they just did.
they laid off thousands on saturday, told them to get out of their housing in less than four days, told the ICPs (international college program) employees they need to be out in less than 4 days despite them being in another country on their own during travel bans no longer allowing them to fly home with their work visas no longer extended since they no longer work for the company, they told them that this is for their safety but they dont care that they just threw THOUSANDS of young adults into homelessness during a pandemic. and then they dropped Frozen 2 on disney+ because they needed to cover it. dont let them get away with that.
This has under 300 notes.

healthy people, do you understand that many US state governments are officially gearing up to murder disabled people on your behalf?
i wish i were exaggerating.
New York state, for example, has implemented a policy that they will take ventilators away from people who needed them BEFORE COVID if they come to the hospital.
please read that again. if you needed a ventilator to breathe before this pandemic, they will take it away from you if you seek medical care.
a committee who never meets the patient will then decide who gets the ventilators based on 'likelihood of survival' and this will be reassessed every 48 hours. if you don't meet their standards, they extubate you and you die.
there's a word for deliberately leaving people without lifesaving medical care. the word is 'murder.' no matter how bad it gets, i can't seek medical care. do you understand how that feels? my choices are: die at home, or face 'fatal extubation.'
healthy people, are you happy to survive by murdering others? if not, you must stand up and tell your state government not to do this on your behalf.
Is there a source for this?
it comes from a very long document, the New York state ventilator allocation plan.
this twitter thread summarizes some of the relevant parts.
two weeks ago: "don't worry, only vulnerable people will die!"
now: "... because we will do everything in our power to ensure they do."
Sounds a bit like euthanasia by omission, except worse cause someone is actively deciding to take away lifesaving ventilators from people who needed them before COVID19.
right, you're so close! there's actually already a word for 'involuntary euthanasia via removing medical care from someone you know will die without it': murder.
