"Hey so it turns out that the people of earth accidentally did a global experiment to see if every individual could course correct climate change through mass personal change of habits, and it turns out, no! We can't! It was massive corporate activity all along!"

“That event, organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition, was ostensibly meant to defy what the protesters claim are draconian and authoritarian rules restricting civil liberties, such as closures of non-essential businesses, limitations on certain outdoor activities, and travel restrictions to vacation homes. The protest, however, mostly resembled a MAGA rally, prominently featuring Trump signs and some Confederate flags. Furthermore, while the event organizers called for participants to practice social distancing and remain in their vehicles, a large number left their cars and gathered together on the steps of the capitol. (Michigan, meanwhile, has been one of the hardest hit states in the pandemic, with more than 28,000 confirmed cases and nearly 2,000 deaths.)”

Fox News Stars Cheer Protests Against Coronavirus Social-Distancing Orders

Fox’s Trump cheerleaders are proudly, gleefully, deliberately, getting people killed.

This is what happens when people who have never been oppressed stage a protest.

"I trust corporations to do the right thing with money" is an example of the most insane statement in the history on mankind. The GOP lives by it.

kinda fucked up how society teaches that “it’s not fair” is a whiny and childish emotional response to have. what a good way to gloss over the fact that things need to change until they are fair & that distress is a valid emotional response to injustice

Why are ‘witch tips’ always like “use quartz as a substitute for any crystal!” and not the good stuff like “River spirits are almost always looking to fuck shit up, so if you rile em up and then feed them a name, they’ll lay someone tf out.”

Listen, I liked Sanders. But the Supreme Court is the only thing I care about right now.

If you vote for anyone that isn't the Democrat nominee, we are looking at a 7-2 right-wing SCOTUS. For how long? 30-40 YEARS.

RBG is 87. Breyer is 81. Chances of them making it to 2024 are not great.

For the record, I think this system is FUCKED and this isn't how SCOTUS composition should be decided, but it is how it is right now.

If you care about the rights of women, of minorities of any kind, you really need to vote for the democrat nominee. No third parties or write ins. No abstaining. And for crying out loud, no assuming that Trump won't win even if you don't vote. VOTE BLUE.

the idea that you can do whatever you want and call it witchcraft is fucking harmful to those who actually want structure and want to learn

yes, passive acts of magick, and substitution is a thing but you can't bend rules that are set in stone to accommodate yourself.

this mentality needs to fucking disappear.

you can absolutely practice magick if you are disabled, if you are chronically ill, if you have little to no time to dedicate to your specialty. but some methodologies have strict rules you cannot break if you expect success.

that's the beautiful thing about witchcraft. you have the ability to find what works for you. if X practice doesn't accommodate your needs, it's time to explore a different one.
