Miller points out that US elections are extremely secure.

As we're in the fallout of the 2024 US presidential election, I want to warn my followers to be very, very, very skeptical of any claims that Tr*mp "stole" the election, groups demanding a vote recount, etc. The last thing we need right now is the American Left descending into conspiracy thinking.

Remember that cults and conspiracy theorists target emotionally vulnerable people for recruitment. Such as, you know, someone who is afraid for their safety because of a recent political shift. Be suspicious of anyone saying they can make it all go away and be skeptical of strangers offering help or support.

We are going to see a rise in cult activity in the next few years, because cults thrive on instability. Some of those cults are going to target their recruitment efforts on leftist spaces. Don't let them pull you in.

Stay safe, y'all.

It's so brilliant and devastating and brilliant that when Agatha asks "how much time?" she gets no answer because such is life you never know how much time you have with someone and when Alice dies even though her death was heroic she's not all zen and accepting she's angry at how little time she was given because it is tragic and it's life and it sucks even if it makes sense and when Lilia talks to her maestra about their deaths she doesn't let her panic she only asks her "what will you do with the time you have left?" because death does come for us all you can panic you can run but the only thing you can control is what you do until then Jac Schaeffer is so good at exploring grief and the cycle of life and death I'm so glad she was the one to introduce Lady Death to the mcu because she was the only one who could have done her justice

Omg what if, hear me out, Rio wasn’t by their side during Nicky’s life like the show insinuated but instead every time Agatha killed a coven she appeared outside and kept Nicky company while Agatha drained them because Rio appears right before death is certain. And that’s why Nicky so willingly went with her when she came for him because she was an old friend at that point. Always there, holding him, and keeping him company as he listened to the dying cries of dozens of witches over his life time. Her presence was probably so soothing for a child surrounded by death because that’s all he had ever known. Death was an old friend to him, there since he was old enough to help his mama, and he wasn’t scared when she finally came for him because he had only ever known death’s kindness and compassion

Honestly, I don't understand the people who are bitter about the way Agatha All Along ended. I thought it was freaking amazing.

Agatha and Rio got to be angry and in love and epically drawn to each other. And petty as all hell.

We got a kiss (and Rio's face those seconds before Agatha kissed her and she felt it coming). We got to see the wounds Agatha left in Death. We got to see a moment where Agatha essentially forgave Death (even if she wouldn't acknowledge it to Rio). We watched Rio cover her grave in the color that meant most to Agatha. We watched how Rio gave Agatha the time to love her son (because even if the older Agatha refused to see it - because it hurt too much - she would clearly have taken that gift a second time if she found herself back in that moment).

And it wasn't even the end of them, because if you don't think Rio is going to keep pursuing Agatha's soul now that she's floating around as a ghost instead of coming home to her, you're wrong (you're just... wrong).

It might not have been a "happy ending" but it was freaking glorious.

Nicky was always meant to be stillborn. He was never supposed to live after birth, but Rio gave Agatha more time with him, and in turn he got more time with Agatha.

Whether it was implied or not, he was always the son of Death. He was always supposed to go home to his other mother. When Death finally beckoned him home that night, Rio wouldn’t allow him to join her until he kissed Agatha’s cheek. And he knew, instantaneously, to kiss Agatha not once, but twice.

Once from him, and once from Rio.

Though he was always meant to join Death at her side, Rio gave Agatha the chance to be his mother, too, and now I am a mess about it and will be thinking about this for a long time.

Us not getting Agathario backstory or why Agatha is the way she is (apart from the small snippets given in AAA) is a good thing. It leaves the possibility for an Agatha origin story, if she gets popular enough. How she got so strong, why exactly her mother wanted her dead, how she got so close to Rio and how she got the Darkhold. There wasn’t time in AAA but that doesn’t mean there won’t be time later
