REBLOG IF I CAN MESSAGE YOU 'HEY' AND START A FRIENDSHIP.
always gonna re-reblog
Rejection-sensitive or not, you have to accept when people say “no” and realize that people’s “no” is not about you. A boundary is never about you, it’s about that person’s sense of security. Do not make people’s personal limits a matter of targeted offence.
If you can’t reblog this, unfollow me now.

it’s important to recognize that these are in fact two different statements.
SUPER Low Energy Witchcraft
I’ve been seeing a lot of low energy witchcraft posts, but every one I read isn’t really low energy. When I think ‘low energy,’ I think something I can do on my lowest of low days. Days I can’t get out of bed or even think sometimes. So here it is. The SUPER Low Energy Witchcraft Guide.
- Sigils sites. I have found this one to be very good. They’ll make a sigil for you so you don’t have to.
- Pinterest boards. Making spells or manifesting using Pinterest boards is one of my favorite things to do.
- Spotify playlists. Similar to the Pinterest board idea, use songs to create spells or manifest certain things.
- Emoji spells. Use emojis to make spells, making sure they’re packed with intent.
- Hang out with your tarot deck. Or any divination tool, for that matter. Just having it near you counts.
- Talking to spirits and deities. Tell them about something you plan to do for them, a ritual you’d like help with, ask for help getting through the lows, etc. Or just talk to them. It doesn’t matter about what, talking improves relationships.
- Read. Read books you were planning on reading. Definitely do not ever go on Z-Library for free books. Never. /s You do have limits on downloading and it’s relatively hard to figure out on mobile, but if you can get your tablet or computer up and running, it’ll work perfectly.
- Scroll through Tumblr. Or Reddit. Or Pinterest. Or even Tik Tok. Scroll through the witch tags, scroll through the tags of and deities you might worship/work with. Or just look at pretty plants. Think about what they can help you with.
- Make a shopping list. If you need to restock any herbs or candles, note it down.
- Just light a candle or two. Simple as that.
- Make a pouch or enchant a piece of jewelry or whatever you want to do to help you recover from your lows before they happen. Touch them or hold them or even just think of them when you want.
- Similar to above, enchant any aids (mobility aids, medication, pain relievers, heating pads and ice packs, etc.) to help you recover faster.
- If you can, think about your practice, what you want to change, what you 100% wouldn’t change, how it relates to others’ crafts, etc.
- Meditate. I’m not talking about some 30 minute guided meditation sitting upright, because I have trouble with them on my lows. I’m talking about staring blankly into space or practicing mindfulness or something like that. You don’t have to do it for long, either. Take a few minutes to chill.
- If you can, open your windows. Or curtains. Or blinds. Let it clear out your space.
- Enchant your water or foods to help with your symptoms. Draw a sigil with anything (oil, sharpie, air, etc.) on your bottles and above your food to aid in your recovery.
- Wash your face and/or hands to cleanse yourself for the day.
- Have a ‘worry stone.’ Take a crystal or rock or other stone and rub it when you’re anxious. Or, enchant it to remove negative energies and rub it when your pain is at the worst. The very least it will do is distract you.
- Simply rest. Resting and taking some time to recover is the best practice.
Obviously this isn’t a large list, but I cannot emphasize the ‘simply rest’ part enough. As practitioners, we tend to want to do more when we’re sitting bored in bed. But remember, safety first. The quicker you recover, the quicker you can get back to your craft.
Smoke free ways of cleaning your space
- Cleansing spray - make a homemade cleansing spray using your own ingredients & intentions
- Crystal grid - make a crystal grid using crystals & herbs
- Fresh air - open some windows or doors and let the wind blow in new energy
- Soothing music - turn on your favourite songs (use different songs for different intentions)
- Sunlight - open windows & curtains, let the sun shine in and cleanse your space
- Sweeping - sweep up the stagnant energy in your home and throw it away (literally)

Birds absolutely adore Ghost. Specifically Crows and Ravens. They will land on trees, fences, whatever they can land on and just observe what Ghost is doing ( It really confuses Ghost. Soap finds the birds cute but the grid aren't that fond of him. )
He found it weird at first but he got used to it. He'd throw them some food crumbs if he had any food on them and like the birds did with him, he'd watch them.
And Ghost slowly but surely became a bird watcher, and whenever he had the time he'd watch whatever birds were the closest ( Ravens and Crows being the favorites to watch )
To simplify this, Ghost is a bird guy. If you ask him if he likes Dogs or Cats, He'll say birds ( Dogs r a close second tho, he adores both )
Ghost is a genuine animal lover. He gets sad when the stray cats on the street run from him or when a dog doesn’t come up to him. It had been that way since he was a child. And ever since he was a child, he’s always had a shadow following him. He admits to not really noticing or caring that a whole murder of crows followed him around until Soap said something about it.
“What are you, a god of birds or something?”
"Illinois will become one of three states to require employers to offer paid time off for any reason after Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a law on Monday that will take effect next year.
Starting Jan. 1, 2024, Illinois employers must offer workers paid time off based on hours worked, with no need to explain the reason for their absence as long as they provide notice in accordance with reasonable employer standards.
Just Maine and Nevada mandate earned paid time time off and allot employees the freedom to decide how to use it, but Illinois’ law is further reaching, unencumbered by limits based on business size. Similarly structured regulations that require employers to offer paid sick leave exist in 14 states and Washington, D.C., but workers can only use that for health-related reasons.
Illinois employees will accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked up to 40 hours total, although the employer may offer more. Employees can start using the time once they have worked for 90 days. Seasonal workers will be exempt, as will federal employees or college students who work non-full-time, temporary jobs for their university.
Pritzker signed the bill Monday in downtown Chicago, saying: “Too many people can't afford to miss even a day's pay ... together we continue to build a state that truly serves as a beacon for families, and businesses, and good paying jobs.”
Proponents say paid leave is key to making sure workers, especially low-income workers who are more vulnerable, are able to take time off when needed without fear of reprisal from an employer.
Bill sponsor Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth, a Peoria Democrat, said the bill is the product of years of negotiations with businesses and labor groups.
“Everyone deserves the ability to take time off,” she said in a statement. “Whether it’s to deal with the illness of a family member, or take a step back for your mental health, enshrining paid leave rights is a step forward for our state."
“This is about bringing dignity to all workers," she said at the signing."

Les Misérables, Volume I / Book V / Chapter III, trans. Hapgood
[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”
This still blows my mind
I will happily delete this if I’m derailing or taking away from the original message (initially I put this in the tags, but a friend asked me to reblog as text)
If you don't want to pursue an autism or adhd diagnosis and you have access to a doctor or therapist you can get them to write you a note attesting to a symptom of your neurodivergence (rather than naming the condition itself) and stating the need for accommodation.
It's something my therapist told me about when we were still working in offices. I have sensory processing issues and on multiple occasions the noise in my office was so bad I broke the skin on my hand clenching my fist.
This work-around of course won't fix structural ableism and relies on you having access to a doctor/therapist who actually gives a crap, so still might only help a couple of folks.
