Latest blog post is about defixiones, curse tablets. Next up in the queue is knot magic.

My website has contact details, and I can be found still on Discord. I've just sorta gotten tired of social media sites and their bullshit.

Just published an essay on the Wiccan Rede on my website, figured I'd drop by here to remind folks that I'm posting things there instead of here. You can find them at dovewithscales dot com.

The Russian government doesn’t have a problem with targeting civilians with white phosphorous munitions.

Their civilians not getting to see foreign sitcoms is them getting off easy. If they don’t want to deal with sanctions they should take it up with Putin. Or better yet, let Ukrainians tell them why they should be grateful their children don’t have to worry about mines in the playground.

I love that every time someone shares a link to vore content on Tumblr I can count on seeing @dzamie in the comments.

i hate to ask on anon on fucking tumblr i know it is weird. but how does one even obtain psilocybin

I live near DC, where there's a loophole in the law that makes it so you can just buy it online and someone will deliver it to you. There's a company called Exotic Blooms that does this. Any time I'm in DC I just text them what I want and they send someone anywhere in DC I want.

Outside of DC it's still pretty illegal. But if you're careful you can buy spores online and grow them yourself.

Other than that, you just need to know a dealer and ask them. I only ever sold pot back when I was selling, but I got my supply from a guy who dealt in other stuff and could hook me up with whatever I wanted.

I took nutmeg once and it was kinda... uninteresting, for me. Basically all that happened was time went funny for me. I kept dissociating and losing track of my surroundings for what felt like minutes at a time, and then I'd tune back in and no time would have passed.

I'd be disoriented for what I thought was five minutes in the middle of a conversation, and be sure I'd just been sitting there staring blankly and not answering someone. Turns out they didn't notice. No one else could tell I was high.

I didn't like being that disoriented if I wasn't gonna get anything else out of it, so I never did it again. For the most part these days I only do cannabis and psilocybin.

i love that you can get high off of nutmeg and it fucking sucks so you get videos like this

Shipping discourse is moronic and I don't want to get into it. But linguistics I am interested in. My intuition is that terminology has stuck around because It's the only convenient umbrella term for participation in every form of media now readily available to us. Because watching movies and reading books aren't the only commonplace forms of media to consume.

"Media consumption" and "content creation" include not only movies and books, but also television, theater, YouTube series, podcasts, AO3 fanfic, Tumblr microfiction, TikTok videos, and on and on and on.

"The way you read books" does not include fanfic, which not a book even if it's novel length.

Even if you are only talking about books and movies, "the way you consume media" is still more concise than "the way you read books and watch movies."

‘‘shipping is fucking up how some of yall consume media‘‘ i do not ‘consume media’ i read books, i watch movies. like a normal person does. when was this term mass adopted, why is every work of art ‘‘consumed’‘. along with ‘’creating content’’ its terms the little lad on the monopoly box would use

Teamwork!

Person A: “(Person B) Can I please borrow your axe?”

Person B: “Sure, it’s beside my bed.”

Person A: “…..Why?”

I would think twice if someone came at me with that!

Person A: “(Person B) Can I please borrow your axe?”

Person B: “Sure, it’s beside my bed.”

Person A: “…..Why?”
