1. More children are surviving today than ever before.

Close to 8 million more children in the world survive to see their fifth birthday than in 1990 — a 60 percent decline in annual under-five child mortality. 

UNICEF and partners have contributed to this remarkable achievement through proven, sustainable solutions for improving maternal and child health care services and strengthening disease prevention — and delivering those solutions at scale...

2. Vaccines have saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years.

As the world’s largest vaccine supplier, UNICEF procures and distributes enough vaccines annually to immunize 45 percent of the world's children. In 2023, UNICEF supplied 2.8 billion vaccine doses to 105 countries, up from just over 2 billion to 102 countries in 2020. Through widespread immunizations, polio is on the brink of eradication.

3. Safe water is available to over 2.1 billion more people compared to 20 years ago.

Consistent access to a sufficient supply of safe water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene is the foundation for child survival, healthier lives, stronger economies and more sustainable societies. With support from UNICEF and partners, more than a quarter of the world's population gained access to safe and clean drinking water in the past two decades.

UNICEF-supported programs help ensure access to safe water for 35 million people around the world every year. UNICEF also leads coordinated emergency response efforts related to safe water access in roughly 85 percent of countries affected by crises. In 2023, over 42 million people in 73 countries were reached with emergency water services, helping to prevent outbreaks of cholera and other waterborne diseases.

To help build community resilience to climate shocks, UNICEF has also supported the installation of more than 8,900 solar-powered water systems in 56 countries — an important climate adaption measure that also reduces the use of fossil fuels.

4. The number of children with stunted growth due to malnutrition has declined by 40 percent since 2000.

For more than two decades, UNICEF has been the world’s largest procurer of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), procuring up to 80 percent of global demand, ensuring children suffering from severe malnutrition can be treated successfully.

5. Over 68 million child marriages have been averted in the last 25 years, giving girls their childhoods back.

In the late 1990s, 1 in 4 young women aged 20 to 24 were married as children. Today, it's 1 in 5. UNICEF has played an important role in global efforts to end child marriage, supporting 35 countries in implementing action plans, and working at the community level and across the health, education and other sectors to increase knowledge and change attitudes around the practice.

In 2023, UNICEF reached 11 million adolescent girls with prevention and care interventions empowering them to delay marriage and choose their own futures. 

6. Fewer kids are out of school.

The world stands on the cusp of realizing primary education as a basic right of every child. A world where more children learn is a world that is healthier, more prosperous and more resilient.

In the early 1950s, roughly half of all primary school-aged children were out of school. Now it's less than 10 percent. And every year, 23 million more girls are completing secondary school compared to a decade ago...

7. The world is on track to eliminate open defecation by 2030.

In the last two decades, 2.5 billion people have gained access to safely managed sanitation, while the number of people practicing open defecation has also declined by two-thirds — from 1.3 billion in 2000 to 419 million in 2022 — putting the world on track to eliminate the practice entirely. 

Ending open defecation drastically lowers the risks of diseases and malnutrition among children in low-income and lower-middle-income countries. Child deaths from diarrhea — a leading killer of young children — have already decreased by 60 percent...

8. Birth registration rates are way up.

Today, 77 percent of children under 5 are registered, up from 60 percent in the early 2000s — a major leap towards ensuring every child has a legal identity and can access health, education and other essential services...

Countries that prioritize birth registration see rapid progress. In Côte d’Ivoire, birth registration prevalence rose steadily from 65 percent in 2012 to 96 percent by 2021, proving that change at scale is possible.

9. A future free from HIV seems possible, one baby at a time.

An estimated 1.9 million deaths and 4 million HIV infections have been averted among pregnant women and children in the past 25 years...

10. In times of crisis and emergency, UNICEF is there — helping to save more children's lives than any other humanitarian organization.

[Note: Okay, I think they're cheating listing this one, but the article header said 10 things, so if I included only 9 it would be weird. Obviously this is an article from UNICEF, but UNICEF's data, reporting, and statistics are considered to be of high quality.]

I worry that today’s generation of kids on the internet have never gotten to develop much digital agency or form safe, empowering relationships with older people. More broadly, I think our current culture of isolating children from all unrelated adults, supposedly in the name of their “protection” only causes them to become more ignorant, lonesome, and vulnerable to exploitation.

There are many ways in which restricting youth access to information technology and training adults to avoid all contact with children makes kids even more powerless and dependent.

If a child cannot post their sexual health questions on Ask Alice or go searching around online, then they have to believe whatever they hear from their parent or priest. If a young person longs to taste the freedoms of adulthood but aren’t given any room to explore, then the grown-up in their DMs telling them that they are so mature becomes a hell of a lot more seductive.

And if a kid never gets to search for sexual content online, learn about adult sexual experiences, or touch themselves and find pleasure in the privacy of their own minds, they may never fully learn that their body is them, for them to enjoy and express themselves however they see fit.

For queer youth, the dangers of isolation are amplified. A study published in the journal Child Protection and Practice in April of last year found that LGBTQI+ children face an elevated risk of grooming and sexual abuse because they are discriminated against by peers, preached against within their religious communities, and mistreated or kicked out of the house by their families — and also, because an adult with no respect for boundaries might be the only person offering to talk with them about queerness or sex.

It’s very difficult to know the difference between a healthy relationship and exploitation when a predatory adult is the first queer person a kid ever knows. If a relationship with an abuser is the only way that a teen ever gets to live out their queerness or explore their budding sexuality, then it becomes immensely difficult for them to walk away — leaving the groomer is like tearing off a crucial part of themselves that never gets expressed otherwise, or even seen.

This is also true of children who have the early rumblings of kinky sexualities, too — when you long to be controlled or tied up, you need a safe outlet to learn and fantasize about doing such things consensually one day. If you do not know that such options exist, you’ll settle instead for abuse. The more options that a child has to learn about sexual practices, to meet other queer people of ages, and to form appropriate relationships with unrelated adults, the harder they become to manipulate, and the more power they have to walk away.

...

Being a minor is a position created by legal oppression, but most people consider a minor’s lack of freedom to be so natural and morally correct they don’t even recognize it as oppression. Instead, they see it as protection, a healthy separation between the world of the human and the not-quite-human yet. Though they would never admit it, a minor is not the same thing as a person to them, for a minor can be thrown out of public spaces, locked away, silenced, disregarded, and left to rot in the ways full persons are not.

I believe that we queer adults are failing our younger siblings by refusing to play a part in raising and looking after them. We have chosen to privilege our individual safety from accusations of ‘inappropriate’ conduct over the need for queer youth to see their own sexualities and identities normalized, envision a diversity of possible futures for themselves, and seek aid and understanding when they are mistreated.

For those of us who’ve had the liberty to escape our ignorant hometowns, get on HRT, have joyous gay sex in dark rooms, or even just dance tenderly with a sexy androgynous stranger’s cheek pressed against our own, we have a responsibility to pour from our filled cups, and to remember what it was like to have no such access. As terrified as we are of losing our documentation, our access to medicine, and our legal rights, we must remember those queer people who presently have none of those things, and do all that we can to extend our aid to them.

I wrote about the troubling culture of the "MINORS DNI" bio, and how it contributes to the mass isolation of young queer people. You can read the full piece or have it narrated to you by the substack app for free here.

✿ message from your higher self part one

1 ₊˚.༄

Your higher self is grateful for how in tune you are with them. They’re asking you to continue fostering this connection with them. They’re sending you synchronicities because they want you to realize how magic you are. You’re manifesting your highest path and they’re proud of you. Your higher self wants you to step into your sensuality, your divine feminine or divine masculine. You’re currently attracting a very important life partner, so they want you to feel ready and empowered when you meet them. They’re encouraging you to continue on your spiritual path and confirming to you that you’ve been receiving the right spiritual download from your spirit team. You’re very witty! You see even their most subtle signs. They want you to use more of your practical wit in your career. They’re also wanting you to be more competitive when moving towards your dream. Focus your action taking on your goals! You’ve given a lot of yourself emotionally to your peers, though that’s great they want you to focus on your career goals now. You might be nearing the end of a project right now and they’re telling you that now is the time to complete it. Trust your intuition, just start doing it and the action you need to take will come intuitively. If you’re not doing any particular project yet, they want you to go ahead and start one. Even if you don’t understand where you’re heading, the next step will become clear while you’re working on it.

Your higher self is reminding you that even powerful leaders need to rest sometimes, Bunny! They’re thankful for the hard work you’ve been putting in, it is profoundly impacting your future. They’re proud of you for working so hard on your mental health. They know you’ve been through a very tough time but you’ve overcome it thanks to you getting educated on your mental health issues and researching how to help yourself.

Eyes are on you in the spiritual realm and in the physical as well! Your highest self is referring to this moment in your life as one of the most profound transformations you’ve ever been through. If it hasn’t started yet, your highest self is announcing to you that it will very soon. A powerful divinely orchestrated moment is taking place for you, Bunny. It’s an event that will eventually make you step into your higher self. They don’t want to reveal too much but soon pretty much everything in your life will shift. It’ll be because of a mindset shift triggered by a specific event that spirit doesn’t want to reveal. You’ll completely change the way you look at life and you’ll finally have the guts to admit to yourself that you don’t feel fulfilled with most of the aspects of your life. It’s not a realization tinted with despair, it’s about self-respect and self-growth. This realization will change every aspect of your social or romantic life. You’ll cut off people from your life or completely change the way you approach your relationship with them. You’ll have no remorse towards those decisions, making those decisions for yourself will feel empowering. Your higher self is recognizing that in the past you’ve felt like you were not good enough and you felt like you always needed to do more and better to be deserving of love. They’re telling you that after these events, you’ll be around people with secure attachment styles and you’ll feel fulfilled with your social life. Feeling like you’re spending time with people who actually bring love and value to your life. This next message is more specific so don’t force it to resonate if it doesn’t, but some of you are being isolated by a toxic masculine and your highest self wants you to realize that. It’s possible you’re either a victim of an abusive dad, a toxic boyfriend, or a mean boss… or it could also be that your life right now is suffering from patriarchy’s impact and it’s affecting your relationships.

Don’t take a shot every time I say life, aha!

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #19

May 17-24 2024

President Biden wiped out the student loan debt of 160,000 more Americans. This debt cancellation of 7.7 billion dollars brings the total student loan debt relieved by the Biden Administration to $167 billion. The Administration has canceled student loan debt for 4.75 million Americans so far. The 160,000 borrowers forgiven this week owned an average of $35,000 each and are now debt free. The Administration announced plans last month to bring debt forgiveness to 30 million Americans with student loans coming this fall.

The Department of Justice announced it is suing Ticketmaster for being a monopoly. DoJ is suing Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation for monopolistic practices. Ticketmaster controls 70% of the live show ticket market leading to skyrocketing prices, hidden fees and last minute cancellation. The Justice Department is seeking to break up Live Nation and help bring competition back into the market. This is one of a number of monopoly law suits brought by the Biden administration against Apple in March and Amazon in September 2023.

The EPA announced $225 million in new funding to improve drinking and wastewater for tribal communities. The money will go to tribes in the mainland US as well as Alaska Native Villages. It'll help with testing for forever chemicals, and replacing of lead pipes as well as sustainability projects.

The EPA announced $300 million in grants to clean up former industrial sites. Known as "Brownfield" sites these former industrial sites are to be cleaned and redeveloped into community assets. The money will fund 200 projects across 178 communities. One such project will transform a former oil station in Philadelphia’s Kingsessing neighborhood, currently polluted with lead and other toxins into a waterfront bike trail.

The Department of Agriculture announced a historic expansion of its program to feed low income kids over the summer holidays. Since the 1960s the SUN Meals have served in person meals at schools and community centers during the summer holidays to low income children. This Year the Biden administration is rolling out SUN Bucks, a $120 per child grocery benefit. This benefit has been rejected by many Republican governors but in the states that will take part 21 million kids will benefit. Last year the Biden administration introduced SUN Meals To-Go, offering pick-up and delivery options expanding SUN's reach into rural communities. These expansions are part of the Biden administration's plan to end hunger and reduce diet-related disease by 2030.

Vice-President Harris builds on her work in Africa to announce a plan to give 80% of Africa internet access by 2030, up from just 40% today. This push builds off efforts Harris has spearheaded since her trip to Africa in 2023, including $7 billion in climate adaptation, resilience, and mitigation, and $1 billion to empower women. The public-private partnership between the African Development Bank Group and Mastercard plans to bring internet access to 3 million farmers in Kenya, Tanzania, and Nigeria, before expanding to Uganda, Ethiopia, and Ghana, and then the rest of the continent, bring internet to 100 million people and businesses over the next 10 years. This is together with the work of Partnership for Digital Access in Africa which is hoping to bring internet access to 80% of Africans by 2030, up from 40% now, and just 30% of women on the continent. The Vice-President also announced $1 billion for the Women in the Digital Economy Fund to assure women in Africa have meaningful access to the internet and its economic opportunities.

The Senate approved Seth Aframe to be a Judge on the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, it also approved Krissa Lanham, and Angela Martinez to district Judgeships in Arizona, as well as Dena Coggins to a district court seat in California. Bring the total number of judges appointed by President Biden to 201. Biden's Judges have been historically diverse. 64% of them are women and 62% of them are people of color. President Biden has appointed more black women to federal judgeships, more Hispanic judges and more Asian American judges and more LGBT judges than any other President, including Obama's full 8 years in office. President Biden has also focused on backgrounds appointing a record breaking number of former public defenders to judgeships, as well as labor and civil rights lawyers.

the theory of law that says it matters a lot what the particular text of a given policy says, what loopholes the specific language might leave, &c., is best described as "LSAT prep" or perhaps "wishful thinking." the actual practice of the law is not a rhetorical exercise, it is a power negotiation; these executive orders are written to signal clear intention to judges & create chilling effects for people who are bound by the law but not empowered to interpret it. the viciously transmisogynist executive order signed yesterday says "at conception" because it's a popular phrase among people who oppose abortion, & the violent repression directed at trans women is connected directly to all other attempts to subjugate women as a class, not least by suspending safe, legal access to reproductive care

UN Committee Criticizes Canada’s Immigration Detention Practices

Experts Urge End to Immigration Detention

This week, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities issued a bleak assessment of Canada’s immigration detention system, calling for Canada to protect the legal capacity rights of people with disabilities in detention and urging an end to immigration detention altogether.

The committee’s findings, released after a review of Canada’s disability rights record, echo concerns that Human Rights Watch and our partners have raised for years.

The committee warned that asylum seekers and migrants with disabilities are disproportionately detained, often in correctional facilities where they may be placed in solitary confinement if they experience a mental health crisis.

The committee’s message is clear: Canada should “end the use of immigration detention by increasing community-based, independent alternatives that provide access to holistic supports, such as housing, healthcare, mental health services, legal representation, disability-related supports, and children’s services.” The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has also long called for the gradual abolition of immigration detention on human rights grounds.

The committee also condemned Canada’s use of substitute decision-making for people with disabilities in immigration detention. Under this practice, designated representatives—appointed without meaningful assessment or oversight—are empowered to make crucial decisions on behalf of detainees, often without detainees’ knowledge or consent. Human Rights Watch has documented how this system deprives people of their legal capacity, often with life-altering or even life-endangering consequences.

The committee urged Canada to replace this system with a supported decision-making model that upholds detainees’ will and preferences.

💎 Our Top 10 Tips for Making The Best out of The New Year:

Tip #1: Allow God to be your foundation.

God has to be the firmest foundation in your life. Go to him with and for everything. With the Most High, you are not only protected, corrected and forgiven, you are also loved beyond measures and guided to your highest potential. This year there will be many obstacles but remember Jesus is The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) and you are never alone!

Tip #2 : Be Intentional.

It’s as simple as it sounds, do everything with intention 💎 you simply can not afford to play with your potential this year. You are too valuable. Every decision, every action, and every thought should be aligned with your deeper purpose. When you approach life with clarity and focus, you create a ripple effect that transforms not only your own experience but also those around you. Embrace this mindset, and watch how opportunities flourish, relationships deepen, and fulfillment becomes a consistent part of your journey. Intentional living is not just a practice; it’s a lifestyle that leads to profound growth and connection. Always speak life into yourself and your situation. So, take a moment to reflect on your intentions and let them guide you toward a life that resonates with your true self.

Tip #3: Learn when & how to say NO.

As the new year approaches, remember that being selfish can be a positive trait. We're not suggesting you become like Ebenezer Scrooge, but it's important to know when to prioritize yourself. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Saying "no" doesn’t mean you’re failing those who love and respect you—keep that in mind.

Tip #4: If it doesn’t align, let it fly.

As the new year approaches, it's the perfect time to confidently reflect on your experiences—recognizing what worked and what didn’t. This year, you'll master the art of identifying what truly aligns with your goals and what you need to release. Trust yourself and embrace this journey ahead.

Tip #5: Self-care isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity.

As a woman, it's crucial to prioritize self-care. Women of BFS understand that self-care is an essential part of their journey. When you feel empowered and confident, you'll align yourself with becoming the best version of yourself. Self-care isn't just about pampering your outer appearance—though that is important—but also about nurturing your mind and soul. This is how you heal and effortlessly exist in your femininity. So, this year, self-care is a must sis. Take care of yourself.

Tip #6: If you can’t afford to buy it twice, don’t buy it once.

We told you, There is nothing soft about being broke (see post here) a game changer this year will be how you decide to invest and save your money. If you can’t afford to buy it twice, don’t buy it once. How you handle $100 will determine how you will handle $1000. Luxury is a mindset thing before an aesthetic. The fools will blow it, the wise will multiply it.

Tip #7: Stay Exclusive

Tap into your IT GIRL energy this upcoming year. Dont let everyone have access to you. This includes your body, ladies! You must protect your energy. Being exclusive also means staying true to who you are. This is how your aura is created... Have you ever seen a woman who is so authentic that she draws people in effortlessly? Her confidence radiates, and her presence is felt long after she has left the room. It's as if she has a magnetic yet mysterious quality that sets her apart from the rest. This woman is YOU this year. Tap into HER! 💋

Tip #8: Dont double back & stand on it!

9 times out of 10, you’ve been released from that experience for a reason. Whether is a job, a man, a friendship or even a bad habit! You must avoid returning to what caused you pain and hindered your purpose. Take your L’s as lessons and move forward with more wisdom and knowledge. What’s behind you can rarely comprehend what’s ahead of you, don’t bring dead weight into this new year!

Tip #9: Don't be afraid to be SEEN!!

Listen, we know all too well how much an isolation season is needed but so is your pop-out season sis. God didn’t put you in that season for you to hide all that he’s been working within you. You can do this and still be humble, and kind and still give thanks to GOD. When you pop out think of it as being released from the shackles of the enemy! THEY CAN'T HOLD YOU DOWN! So many times we get too comfortable in our preparation season; we start sleeping on the very thing we were designed to become! Don’t let that be your reality this year babe.

Tip #10: Take The Risk.

Bet on yourself! This is a year that you will be happy to do things that scare you! Believe in yourself! This is the year to embrace challenges that intimidate you! View this as a chance for personal growth and development. You will learn that when the year is done, you will appreciate the fact that you have stepped outside your comfort zone and tried; putting you in positions you never thought you'll be in! You miss 100% of of the shots you dont take. 💋

Hi!! I am incredibly inspired by your work! Do we think a Choi San fic could be in the works? I just know he'd live his best life with a bigger woman

of course!

Being with Choi San includes:

Him being absolutely smitten by you, the love blooming between the two of you inspiring him to write new songs for Ateez, the songs breaking mulitple records

The entertainment company first being against your relationship, but Choi pushing through the pressure and setting clear boundaries that you´re a topic where no discussions will ever take place

The fandom trying to tear you down, so you put all of your social media accounts on private to stay sane. The Korean media hating the fact that they cannot access your pictures anymore to paint false narratives of you

Choi being the most loving and compassionate boyfriend you ever had, him making sure that your relationship never changes for the worst despite being a well known idol and having many other responsibilities

You tagging along when him and the group are having dance practices or doing photoshoots

Choi making sure that no one, and I mean no one, harasses or even gets too close for you as he has been through more than enough uncomfortable situations where staff members started to get real disrespectful

The other Ateez members loving you, first being shy but quickly locking you into their hearts as they see that you are meant to be with Choi, your love flourishing and making him thrive as a person

On his days off, Choi makes sure to pamper and spoil the fuck out of you, he takes you on the most exciting and luxurious or chill dates

The two of you getting along so well that marriage is already in the talks, just a few months into your relationship. Him knowing that you´re not someone to just mess with and dump, but to marry and cherish for the rest of your life

Him being your hype-man when you get insecure, making sure to show you with his whole body how beautiful and sexy you are. Like, you had never had a man yearn for you so much and so loudly

Choi not being able to get enough of your body, that man has always his hands on your wide hips or thick thighs, his lips are always kissing your face or neck and his sweet yet sedusive words making shivers run down your spine as he voices what he loves doing to your body

Your sex life being the best. Like the way that man knows your body inside out, makes you scream or almost cry in pleasure as hes buried deep inside you while making you maintain eye contact through it all, talks to you in the dirtiest yet sexiest way is just too much. It makes you feel so empowering and desirable

Choi loving your friends and family like his own and already discussing with your parents to ask for their permission to marry you one day

Him knowing that its the two of you against the world, and no one is allowed to disrespect you in any type of way

12th house & South Node Part 2

Uranus in 12th house-creates a unique blend of energies that promote individuality, freedom, and revolutionary change in the realms of spirituality and the unconscious mind. This placement can lead to a unique and unorthodox approach to spirituality, adaptability, and personal growth. Maybe u can seek freedom through the subconscious. But challenge could be the potential for feeling isolated or misunderstood due to their unique and unorthodox approach to spirituality and life in general.

Neptune in 12th house-house can signify a strong inclination towards spirituality. People with this planet in their 12th house can connect with the realm of spirituality much more easily. You also have a sense of curiosity about learning the secrets of life and understanding the unknown. You might have difficulties in forming boundaries. Therefore, you find it problematic to separate reality and dreams. This planet can also give you the gift of creative expression. With neptune here u find it the easiest to express yourself through unique ways.

Pluto in 12th house-you can be very powerful when it comes to your mind. You can be in control with your subconscious mind. You feel things that others don't and you have intuition for things that are happening in your life. You can see through other people and see their secrets, subconscious things that they don’t. Pluto in the 12th house indicates deep, unconscious transformation, often working behind the scenes. This placement can lead to profound psychological shifts and inner healing, sometimes in a way that is not fully understood by the individual. There can be a sense of power that comes from tapping into the unconscious mind and accessing hidden reserves of strength. You may experience life-changing events that force you to confront hidden parts of yourself, which can lead to spiritual growth and healing. It’s a placement that can give you the ability to work on a soul level, transcend your limitations, and transform in ways that are not immediately obvious to the world. You might have an uncanny ability to understand hidden truths, to heal from deep wounds, and to tap into profound spiritual power.

South Node in 7th house- you are used to being in a relationship and you are used to your partner always being with you. Maybe it's hard for you to be alone or imagine living alone. All your life you were surrounded by people and fans and people who adored you and found you beautiful. This can indicate that you have a habit of repeating relationship patterns from the past, which can lead to challenges in respecting your own needs. With that said, many people come to the conclusion that this is a bad placement to have or that these individuals are better off alone.

South Node in 8th house- is about a familiarity around not having that much control. The south node in the eighth house is very comfortable with giving other people some degree of control over itself. It likes to be taken care of, described by, and empowered by other people. You might have been deeply fascinated by the mysteries of life and death, treading the paths of mysticism, witchcraft, the occult, spiritual growth, and psychology. You past experiences may have revolved around exploring the hidden realms of human consciousness and the profound intricacies of the human psyche.

South Node in 9th house- Your comfort zone themes may be related to travels, higher education, spirituality, international affairs, law, justice. You are used to a big trips and to enjoy life without worries and without thinking. You are used to life being easy and full of new opportunities and you are used to foreign things. You feel quite comfortable blending with foreign cultures or religions, while also any type of higher and abstract meanings. You will often prefer to move away from it to give yourself the means to study, meditate or devote yourself to all forms of practices or studies conducive to raising them towards a better world. These people have the belief that it is necessary to extract oneself from the culture of the medium of birth to find the exit, the solution, the door of happiness. You can do this through a frenzy of studies and various and varied explorations in the currents of thought or by going to meet distant cultures and landscapes. Often they seek the authentic in the wild world. In a way, the film “Into the wilde” could well express this quest for elsewhere.

South Node in 10th house- Your comfort zone themes may be related to your career, social status, public role, being recognized.  You have a strong need for recognition of your place in society. Most classically, this will take the form of a need for self-recognition through their professional career and the place they occupy in a company or a professional organization. But one can imagine other forms of involvement in this area which in fact represents the status, the place one occupies in life in general. You will be very focused on your social success, considering that a “safe” place is the lifeline that can protect you. You may be so focused on their professional life that you may have difficulty building their family life, or simply appreciating the space of rest and human comfort it provides. On the contrary, you may consider that family life is a waste of time, which constrains you and slows them down in your professional progress. You will therefore be more likely to flee the home than to settle there.

South Node in 11th house-Your comfort zone themes may be related to your group belongings, friendships, your network, your hopes and dreams. You’re more comfortable in team settings, focusing on collective goals and group dynamics. Your South Node in the 11th house likely means you’re quite good at maintaining friendships and group dynamics, but these relationships may lack the depth or intensity that your North Node in the 5th house craves. It’s not that friendships or group connections are unimportant; it’s just that they can’t be the sole focus of your relational life anymore. You’re pushed to explore the emotional and romantic aspects of relationships, which is often where real personal growth happens.

South Node in 12th house- Your comfort zone themes may be related to the subconscious, spirituality, solitude, hidden work, things you do when you’re alone. have a strong tendency to take refuge in an imaginary world to escape the world. As children, they were able to experience disturbing things that offended their sensitivity to the point that they felt the need to cut themselves off from the world. To protect themselves, their defense was to create an imaginary world made up of personal daydreams in which they took the habit of withdrawing. In this world, they have long felt protected from the madness of the world, the absurdity of adults and their insensitivity.

Chiron in Capricorn- indicates a deep need for validation from others, a strong belief in success and social climbing, and the constant pressure to impress everyone around you. You might just be super socially conscious of what you say and how you say it, do a lot for the general public, work really hard in your career to try and get noticed. You’re really ambitious in some way, but you get wounded over and over when your efforts go unrecognized. The healing path is to learn to listen to your own voice instead of what society tells you success and acceptance looks like. When you learn to speak to your inner voice, you will discovery what your true purpose on earth is.

Finishing Strong: A Guide to Ending the Year with Intention

Hello Beautiful,

As we enter the final quarter of the year, it’s time to reassess, realign, and step into our power. For the high-achieving woman, Q4 is the perfect opportunity to manifest abundance, success, and peace. The last stretch of the year can be incredibly transformative if you take the time to focus on intentional growth and clarity. This guide will help you make the most of it.

Vision Boarding: Your Visual Blueprint for Success

A vision board is more than just a collection of inspiring images— it’s a visual roadmap to your goals. As the year draws to a close, this tool can help you stay aligned with your deepest desires and prevent distractions from trends that may not serve your higher purpose.

Why Vision Boarding Works:

Clarifies intentions: Visualizing your goals helps solidify them in your mind.

Amplifies focus: It’s easier to stay on track when you can see success every day.

Boosts motivation: A visual reminder reignites passion when the journey gets tough.

Tracks progress: As you achieve goals, you can reflect on how far you’ve come.

Encourages self-reflection: It’s a tool for assessing what truly matters to you, even as life shifts.

How to Create an Inspiring Vision Board:

Set your intentions: Before you begin, ask yourself what you truly want to manifest in the final months of the year. Be specific. Is it financial abundance? Career growth? Deeper self-love?

Gather visuals: Find images, quotes, and affirmations that align with your intentions. These can come from magazines, online, or even personal photographs that symbolize your goals.

Display with purpose: Place your vision board somewhere you’ll see it daily. It could be your workspace, bedroom, or even your phone wallpaper—wherever it can regularly inspire you.

Review regularly: As the quarter progresses, check in with your board. Adjust it as needed, whether adding new goals or removing old ones.

Vision boarding is not just about aesthetics; it’s a way to stay grounded in your purpose and connected to your inner desires. This practice empowers you to remain authentic and committed to meaningful objectives, ensuring you don’t stray from your path as the year winds down.

Journaling for Clarity: Unlocking Your True Potential

Along with vision boarding, journaling is an essential practice for self-discovery and personal growth. It allows you to access your innermost thoughts, uncover desires, and identify areas where you need to pivot or push harder.

The Benefits of Journaling for Clarity:

Fosters self-awareness: Writing helps you process emotions and ideas, leading to deeper understanding.

Refines your objectives: Journaling can reveal what’s most important to you, helping to prioritize goals.

Uncovers hidden strengths: Often, we don’t recognize our capabilities until we reflect on them through writing.

Helps you strategize: By identifying potential obstacles, you can develop plans to overcome them.

Enhances focus and motivation: Regular journaling keeps your objectives clear, making it easier to stay disciplined.

Journaling Prompts for a Powerful Q4:

What do I want to achieve by the end of this year?

What obstacles have held me back in the past, and how can I overcome them?

What are my strengths, and how can I leverage them to reach my goals?

How do I want to feel when I look back on this year in December?

What am I grateful for right now, and how can I use that energy to propel me forward?

When you make journaling a part of your daily routine, you create space for clarity and creativity. This practice is especially powerful for manifesting success and growth because it fosters a mindset of continuous self-improvement and reflection.

Mindset Shifts: The Power of Affirmations and Mental Resets

The final quarter is not just about working toward your goals but also about transforming your mindset to support your journey. Affirmations and mental resets are two key strategies for doing this.

Why Mindset Matters:

Success isn’t just about hard work; it’s about believing you are worthy of the results. Affirmations are a daily tool to remind yourself of your power and potential. Whether you say them in front of a mirror or write them in your journal, affirmations help shift limiting beliefs into empowering ones.

Examples of Affirmations for a Powerful Q4:

I am deserving of all the abundance that is coming my way.

I am capable of achieving everything I set my mind to.

I am worthy of success, love, and happiness.

I trust the process and know that everything is unfolding for my highest good.

I release any doubts and embrace my power fully.

Daily mental resets can also help you stay grounded when challenges arise. These can be as simple as taking a few deep breaths, practicing meditation, or taking a short walk to clear your mind. By intentionally resetting, you can approach tasks with renewed energy and focus.

As the year draws to a close, the fourth quarter provides an opportunity for reflection, growth, and manifestation. Whether through vision boarding, journaling, or affirmations, reclaim your power and finish the year with intention.

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ How you can tell when a witchy creator is not reliable ♥

Hey guys~ So since we have concluded the vote and this was the most picked answer here are some ways in which I have found that you can tell if a witchy creator is reliable or not ♥

🌿They Do Not Take Criticism Well🌿

A knowledgeable practitioner understands that witchcraft is ever-evolving and that learning never stops. If a creator responds to polite corrections or differing perspectives with hostility, dismissiveness, or defensiveness, it's a sign they prioritize their ego over accuracy.

🔥They Aren’t Open to Being Corrected🔥

Everyone makes mistakes, but a good creator will acknowledge when they’re wrong and adjust accordingly. If someone refuses to correct misinformation, even when presented with solid sources, they may be more focused on maintaining an image of authority than on sharing truth.

🌙They Act as If They Know Everything🌙

No one—no matter how experienced—knows everything about witchcraft. A reliable practitioner will admit when they’re unfamiliar with a topic or encourage you to do your own research. Beware of creators who speak in absolutes and act as though they hold the ultimate truth.

🔮They Tell You How You Should Practice🔮

Witchcraft is deeply personal. While guidance is helpful, a creator who insists that their way is the only way or shames people for practicing differently is a huge red flag. A good teacher provides information, not rigid dogma.

📜They Spread Misinformation📜

Witchcraft is full of myths and misunderstandings, and an unreliable creator won’t fact-check their posts before spreading them further. Be cautious of people who share historical inaccuracies, make grand mystical claims without evidence, or refuse to cite sources when asked.

⚠️They Claim Their Practice Is Completely Safe & Without Consequences⚠️

Magic has consequences. Whether it’s simple cause and effect or something deeper, no form of witchcraft is completely risk-free. If a creator claims otherwise, they may be oversimplifying things or outright misleading people.

💰They Push Expensive Tools or "Essential" Items💰

You don’t need fancy tools, expensive crystals, or rare herbs to be a witch. If a creator constantly pushes pricey products (especially their own) and insists that you must have them to be successful, they’re likely more interested in making money than helping others.

🔑They Gatekeep Knowledge🔑

Witchcraft is meant to be accessible. If a creator withholds basic information or insists that you need to pay for “secrets” only they can provide, they’re likely exploiting curiosity rather than genuinely educating.

🌀They Use Fear to Control or Manipulate Their Audience🌀

Some unreliable creators thrive on fear-based tactics, telling you that you’re cursed, that your practice is invalid without their guidance, or that something bad will happen if you don’t follow their methods. Witchcraft should empower you, not make you feel afraid or dependent on someone else’s approval.

✨Trust Your Intuition & Do Your Own Research✨

The best way to avoid falling into the trap of unreliable creators is to stay curious, fact-check information, and cross-reference multiple sources. Witchcraft is about personal empowerment—never be afraid to question what you’re told.

Hope this helps~! Blessed be ♥

words: 4.4k+

summary: they say you fall in love too easily, but you have a feeling that this time will be different.

warnings: public sex, pussy eating, anal sex, degradation, spanking, apologies to non-americans who call it football

“You’re going to want to use this,” you say, helping him out as you point to the strawberry margarita juice. “Trust me, three shots of that can kill a man.”

Yuta chuckles, nodding as he accepts your advice. He pours it into two plastic cups, finally gazing solidly at you for the first time in the night. His eyes are just as alluring as you imagined, and your heart achingly beats in your chest.

“You know, I’m surprised by you and Jeno. I see you two plastered everywhere but you’ve barely talked to each other tonight. I even saw him disappear into Taeyong’s shed with a few other girls.”

You shrug, perching over the kitchen counter when you reply, “It’s a publicity stunt. And a good one at that.”

He seems slightly shocked by the news, but keeps his reactions to a minimum. You’re enjoying conversing with him like this, batting your eyelashes to really seal the deal. He’s even more attractive up close and every time he reaches for something that’s a little too far, the hem of his shirt rises to expose the butterfly tattoo you dream of.

“I didn’t know they still do those,” he says, taking a sip of his drink to test the flavor. He hums in satisfaction, and a smile curls at the edge of your lips when he offers the other cup to you.

“Really? The Nakamoto Yuta has never tried a relationship just for publicity? I guess you wouldn’t need it, considering how popular you already are,” you giggle, chugging down his mix of strawberry margarita juice and vodka. “I watch your games every weekend, you know.”

“Is that so?” He muses, his eyes darting down when you lick your lips.

You grin innocently. “Of course. I’m a big fan.”

Tension swirls in the air when Yuta can’t take his stare away from you. It empowers you, causing you to puff your chest out as you smile coyly for him.

You have him right where you want him. All you need to do is seal the deal.

Your fingers dance across the counter while you inch closer to him. The buzz of the party continues outside, thrumming low in your veins and providing the courage you need to leap over the edge.

“Why don’t you let me show you?”

You’re practically pressed up against him now, your nails resting over his arm as you lean in closer. He gazes at your lips, swallowing tersely. You don’t know if he’s attracted to you or if he hasn’t been laid in a while, but frankly, you don’t care. You want him plowing you into the mattress either way.

You’re startled when he rips his arm away from you, whispering lowly. “Fake or not, I don’t mess around with other people’s girlfriends, doll.”

Then he disappears back onto the patio, leaving you to deal with your soaked underwear yourself.
