speaking of unhinged stupid shit I've read recently
torn between astonishment at how stupid this is and a momentary breathless giddiness at the idea of somehow creating a psyop among conservative americans where we create a moral panic over sex for procreation.
forest witches in the winter… ❆ ❅
- they’re singing to the evergreens
- scrying with small pieces of snow or ice. holding small bits in their hand. they watch the shape it forms while it turns to water.
- thanking the moon for never ever leaving the sky for too long
- you may find them touching the stems of perennials, knowing that—like a phoenix—the leaves will grow, and will rise again when spring returns. they wish the plants luck on their journey back to life.
- wearing coats, layers upon layers, to go on a walk when it’s lightly snowing. they can feel the peace in the air.
- when it’s really windy, you might see one take a bit of dried leaves from under the snow, set an intention of something they want to release, then watch the leaves dance, carried in the wind.
- or, watching the snow from a window.
- they might be reading this. if so, i have to remind them—have no shame about resting, because we know how natural it is to hibernate. humans, among many animals, sleep more and spend more time resting and staying warm indoors. this is a cycle of the year.
- know—the green will come again.

the thing is depression was never destigmatized the narrative just switched from “no one has depression you’re just using it as an excuse” to “everyone has depression you’re just using it as an excuse”
I think the hardest I've ever worked is still between the ages of 12 and 16. I burned out hard on schoolwork and couldn't really keep up the pace. At the time I felt like a failure for working so hard and getting Bs and Cs but now I look back and it's like... no that was bad. Why did it have to be like that. I'd rather do another decade of food service, at least then I'd get paid.
For some additional context: my high school was insanely academically rigorous. College was kinda a joke by comparison. I graduated from that shit in four years while disassociating through most of it.
I dont know, there's something that still makes me bitter about having all of these expectations placed on me as a child, only to discover the "Real World" the adults in my life were supposed to be preparing me for was... fine. Great even. Being an adult is awesome. Having your own paycheck rules. Yeah the world sucks and there are struggles but fuck it's better than slaving away night and day for a goddamn grade.
I get paid for my labor now. And if I dont, it's in direct service to myself or the people I love. That's my happy ending. It's so stupidly simple but there it is.
Ghost Pokemon - Halloween 2023
Thank you for the support on this project! Now to the next one!
WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS SO GOOD
Oh I LOVE this! The animations are so smooth and wonderfully on point for each pokemon, and on top of that ghost type is one of my top faves.
I overheard a woman at my job say "Your whole personality revolves around what you hate instead of what you love and thats an awful way to live." to the resident vocal Maga in the breakroom.
He was stunned into silence for at least 60 seconds so that was nice.
the amount of vitriolic replies to this post makes me want to analyze why people react so angrily to having an unhealthy behavior being pointed out to them.
You cannot grow without accepting the problem
