"If you support trans man lesbians you also have to support cis man lesbians" yeah cool other people's sexual orientation labels are not my business 👍🏻

As long as he's not trolling why should we exclude a guy who genuinely feels their attraction to women is queer/sapphic/lesbian/etc? This is how a few trans girls & nonbinary folk I've met realized they were trans, they realized they were a lesbian before coming to terms with the fact they're a woman / not actually a guy. And you know what, that's literally fucking fine. Not to mention, sometimes using the 'wrong' sexuality labels for your gender can be a form of gender nonconformity. Gnc/genderqueer guy finds it validating to identify as a lesbian? Awesome. Cool as hell.

If you want to get mad at creepy cishet guys creeping on lesbians, DO THAT. I don't think any of those people genuinely believes they are a lesbian, if they're saying that, they're trolling. In general I don't think any non-queer guy is going to genuinely find comfort in labeling themselves as a lesbian. Don't attack queer folk with weird genders or people still figuring shit out when you mean to be gunning for chasers and predators.

To quote my mother, who grew up under a dictator:

"Dictatorships are born in whispers."

Pay attention to every bill or executive order. Don't ask how it'll benefit the country. Ask how it'll benefit the one trying to get it passed. You'll start noticing the whispers.

To those who say, "Stop reading between the lines." No. Always read between the lines. Never take a politician at face value. This goes for all politicians regardless of party.

Look at their history, listen to their words, and ask yourself, "How is this benefiting them?"

Man, I'm so passionate about my practice, I wish my family wasn't mostly made up of bigoted fundamentalist evangelicals who support our local far-right political party and believe that the biblical witch-hunts and genocides are justified through the authority of their favorite god and get defensive in a trained, cult-like way, as soon as someone as much as doubts any part of what they religiously think to be true.... So that I could tell them about demons and witchcraft and how happy it makes me to be a pagan! :D

Man, I love my practice.

I believe that cats are inherently satanic and anarchists. I support their agenda.

How a demon can help you touch grass and do a self care

Channel a demon into your body

The demon walks your body outside and touches grass with your hand

Repeat as necessary

Not really NSFW, but talk about sex and purity culture. So... warning? I guess.

I talked to Asmodeus about purity culture the other day. As the demon of lust and sexuality, I felt like he'd have some thoughts on that topic. I grew up fundamentally evangelical, so this topic is something that really impacted me and still does. It turned out that Asmodeus was not aware of this.

He knew I had some form of sexual trauma, but apparently, I've never told him about it. So I did. And I told him that many puritans say that sexuality – outside of their very strict and specific confines – is impure. And boy, did he have some thoughts on that.

I went in a kind of trance and kept writing and writing down everything he said, and he gave me permission to share it, so here goes nothing.

"Purity? For God? How could sexuality ever make you impure? I do not understand this! How can they call the purest, rawest intimacy between two beings impure?! No, no, my child, do not listen to this. It makes me sad an angered. They are just passing down a curse. Do not get caught up with their compulsive manners. There is such beauty in sexuality and pleasure. Any pleasure that's consentual and wanted is pure. It is a pure form of worship, too.

"It was never the fruit that Eve ate from that was the curse. It was that her eyes were opened, and she saw, and she decided not to think, but to run back to the obedience she had shed, to protect herself. This was the true curse that has gotten passed down through generations. Not sin. Not truth. Not lust. Humans always have the chance to eat from the tree again. The temptation of the adversary and his truths is always there. And it is free.

"It is the fear and the ignorance of humankind to be made responsible for taking the fruit and tasting from it. They fear to stand before God and say 'it was my will', because they wanted to see clearly. Instead, they hide away and beg for forgiveness. And they pretend like the truth they had seen was the real sin and they burn out their eyes with fire and acid and they hope they forget.

"Because the truth demands sacrifices. It requires facing the judgement of God and realizing that God was you all along. So never hesitate to taste that fruit, my child. Taste it's sweetness and it's pleasure. It was made to be enjoyed. And then go and see with your eyes and carry the truth in your hearts wherever you go.

"Because this is the light, and the fruit is the dark, and together they spark your flame. Fear not. Tremble not. Just reach for the fruit. It has never been forbidden."

I'll leave you to make your own sense of this.

Somehow, working with multiple demons and having Lucifer as a patron feels less like he's my "favorite" or the "boss" of my personal pantheon, but like he is the balance. He is me and I am him, in a way. He's the state of calm when I come back from leaning towards one direction of my craft or my personal life.

Lucifer isn't the boss of my life, he's the center of it. As am I. When I work with other demons, it feels more like leaning into different areas of my life, and at the end of the day, I come back to myself and I come back to Lucifer. Sometimes I think he resonates with me so much because he is my natural state of being.

His chaos, his whimsy, his calmness, too. The way he grounds me. He just naturally shifted into the center of my existence. It's a really beautiful experience.

Happy International Asexuality Day!!! 🖤🩶🤍💜

When I first experienced this sentiment from Lucifer, I broke down and literally bawled my eyes out in front of him. I was so embarrassed and told him "you can't do that, you're a god!" And he just laughed at that.

I think that's why I love him so much. Because he doesn't care. He doesn't care about 'looking bad' or outsiders not taking him seriously/not understanding him. He's way more focused on flirting with his own worshippers to care about any of that.

something about how much humility Lord Lucifer has as the God of pride itself really blows my mind sometimes. Like asides from the whole “you don’t have to worship me but I’ll be really flattered if you do” thing, it’s also really endearing and interesting how much he seems to enjoy reciprocating worship towards his devotees. or like flipping the dynamic on its head.

Like. the thing of sitting me up in his throne, kneeling in front of me, worshipping me??? praising me and thanking me for things as if they are blessings. bathing me, washing and braiding my hair, encouraging me. You’d think the dude who is all about being prideful wouldn’t ever feel comfortable engaging in acts that mirror worship towards someone else. But I guess he sees it as yet another form of rebellion. It’s just wild to see someone so powerful act so vulnerable in such a serving way.

[shouldhavestayedawayfromhere]

do u feel comfortable showing your altar

Sure :)

The two bottles on the right are empty by the way and serve as decoration, not and offering. You'd think with an altar like this, I'm out of the witch closet, but I'm actually not.

[shouldhavestayedawayfromhere]

do u do any worship of hekate

I do not, currently . I've tried working with her before when I got into witchcraft and was still in the early stages of my practice. But we parted ways. I was looking for my own path and asked her for help, and I guess in my case that meant leaving her behind.

really can’t stand people who refuse to even try with neopronouns or understand therians because to my autistic brain it is so fucking simple and I feel like it’s actually everyone else that are over complicating shit.

We came up with a couple terms to describe a couple ideas of self. He, she, they. I don’t use neos, but I do use he and they. I use he because I am masculine aligned and I use they because I am also nonbinary and not entirely masc. I don’t have any feelings towards myself that do not feel human.

But some of our gendered pronouns aren’t even enough, and on the realest note, my gender is probably somewhere between boy slut and freak, but I usually just keep that to myself. If someone feels like these words aren’t specific enough to them, fuck yeah make another one. Are you kidding me? You explored your own identity enough to have come up with a special custom term that perfectly describes you? That’s so fucking cool dude.

If a neurodivergent person with CPTSD feels extremely inhuman because of their psychology/ trauma or real world experiences with discrimination, (wow you mean the person everyone treats differently doesn’t feel very human?! that’s crazy!) but they do however have a very easy time relating and communicating with cats through their nonverbal social cues, if they feel comfortable and expressive wearing a tail and ears, and think of themselves as “cat”, okay??? cool? Cat is a homie, tf. Why wouldn’t I want to be friends with cat, cat seems to know how to have fun.

If a neurodivergent person with DID has multiple altars that are littles, and because of some experience, they experience their little as an animal, a puppy, or baby bird, …. okay??? cool??? I’m not really in any kind of position to tell chick that chick can’t fucking exist, and honestly it’s really none of my business how a system manages their littles. “oh they’re probably mentally ill” okay??? And perhaps they are? They’re still living are they not? They still exist, yes? So am I going to go out of my way to make their existence more difficult? I don’t really see the point!!!

If a neurodivergent person with antisocial personality disorder has never felt connected to humanity whatsoever and simply does not want to be referred to by human terms, it’s really not my place to debate about it.

It doesn’t even have to be that serious. You’ve always identified strongly with fairies? Be a fucking fairy dude. No one can stop you. You feel like you’re an elf? Okay! No one can control you, you are whatever the fuck you are regardless of how anyone feels. You can reinvent yourself tomorrow. Why tf not.

Is it really that hard to dynamically adapt language? Like, when people tell me they don’t know how they could possibly use xi xim or xe xer (pronounced with a Z) in a sentence, it tells me that they literally have a lower capacity for learning language. Like they’re not smart enough to apply pronoun grammatical rules to new words, they can’t even fathom the concept of a new word because they somehow believe that words aren’t made up by people but just pop magically into existence. You don’t have to get neopronouns but if you’re telling me you seriously cannot figure it out, I’m genuinely going to think you’re slightly dumb (unless you’re dyslexic, you get a pass I know it’s rough out here for y’all lmao)

It’s not that I think every case of neopronouns is easily explainable and super simple, because it doesn’t even have to be.

It’s more so that, with 7 billion fucking humans on this planet, it’s really not a surprise to me that some of them express their identity through non human terms. As someone with autism I can understand that, even if I don’t feel the exact same. There is always going to be some weird person who goes by knife/knives or bun/bunny. Im kind of just happy they’ve found something they can feel comfortable within. I genuinely cannot bring myself to care enough to argue with someone about it.

The whole “so I can identify as an attack helicopter?” thing is so stupid because if you were being genuine you could identify as a damn fighter jet. But y’all ain’t ready for that conversation because everyone who is passionate is too cringe for y’all to handle.

When my brother had sex ed last year, they made the parents sign these as well. And our bigoted dad wrote on the backside of the paper that my brother was allowed to participate only as long as the topic "gender" didn't come up. He wrote that gender shouldn't be taught in school and isn't part of sex ed and if they disagreed, he would like to have a talk with them.

Anyways, my awesome (trans) brother threw the paper away and pretended like he'd lost it and the teachers didn't care.

I remember during puberty talk in 6th grade they handed out permission slips for parents to sign if they didn’t want their kids getting sex ed and like five students ended up having to wait in the library while the rest of us learned about puberty and health stuff.

Afterwards during lunch recess almost everyone in class spent our time telling those five kids what we learned and showing them our handouts.
