The links in this post still do seem to get you to the correct places. It also may help to turn off smart features in Google settings (if the link doesn't get you to the page it's Gmail > Settings cog > View all settings), scroll down, and uncheck this box:
Tumblr media
(Google will constantly bother you to turn this back on, meaning it's probably a very, very bad thing for you.)
You can also click your icon in the corner on any Google page, click Manage My Google Account, and from there reach Data and Privacy to turn some settings off. There's also My Ad Center (don't know how to get here normally) where you can supposedly turn off ads based on information collected, and My Activity to probably turn off using data from websites you visit and your Youtube history to do ads.
I know this all isn't totally related to AI, but in a world where they'll use anything they can get their grubby mitts on, I want to spread awareness of these features and how much they're collecting.
Proton Drive and File Garden are good alternatives for cloud storing and sharing files respectively, with Proton slowly building a Google-esque suite including Docs and Mail (and as a bonus providing a VPN with a free option that is currently one of the horrifically few VPNs you can get that isn't stealing your data and ratting on you).
Since I'm mostly a writer at least ostensibly, as all writers are, Ellipsus and Writer by Big Huge Labs are online Docs alternatives meant for creative writers, I don't know a lot about the latter, but the former has the bonus of having told NNWM to go fuck themselves when they started taking AI sponsorships, and their stance on AI amounts to "absolutely fucking not ever until everyone developing this is dead"
DuckDuckGo is also compromised by AI, I use StartPage and it mostly works for daily use.
And then, of course, there is LibreOffice, which a lot of people know about but there's always the lucky 10,000.
Stay safe, fuck AI, fuck Google
Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Where have I been?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I may not be as act as I once was but I still have a love for creating art and fan art for my interest! Though due to how far my art is known for, I will need to go ahead and protect myself more. This includes heavy watermarks! Especially on ANY fan art, I'm sorry if this may ruin the pieces but I'm tired of bootleggers making profit off my art with no permission!
If you're curious as well, here is my TH account! All my socials are 18+ now as well for my comfort, as a reminder ^^ To view my character posts, you must be logged in
Thank you to all of my followers who still stick around, and everyone who tags their compliments, it means the world to me that there are sweet individuals apart from all the theft /gen

The Worm
GO Finale spoilers below. Initial thoughts on the Clues in The Valentine's Day Teaser.
This is about the Peter Anderson Studio opening titles Clues for Valentine's Day posted by @fuckyeahgoodomens over here:
I have more thoughts but I want to talk about The Worm first because I think that's the one of the bigger things. If you look closely, it's not just a worm-- it's a worm wearing sunglasses in a black bowler hat. I think this is an art allusion that could get really interesting here, even before we take into account the different colors of the worm and why it's a worm...
Tumblr media
First off, you can see the sunglasses, which automatically screams 'Crowley', but there's etymology here that is very relevant with the history of the word worm.
The word worm comes from the Old English wyrm, which also meant the following: a serpent, a snake, a dragon, a reptile. That word and ones directly related to it are all from a root that meant insect, off of it also relating to words meaning to turn or to bend. It's from this that we also get worm as a verb-- to worm being to slowly wiggle your way out of something... possibly that other idiom-- a can of worms, or a difficult problem.
[And on this language-loving show that is obsessed with containers and did visual puns like "to hell in a handbasket" with the antichrist in a picnic basket, don't discount idiomatic stuff like "opening up a can of worms." Especially since can of worms as figurative language for a tangled up, complicated problem comes from the can of worms that a fisherman would carry to catch fish, one of Good Omens' favorite things.]
Good Omens' insect thing is intentionally overlapping different insects. Beez can make flies but they're Lord Beelzebub. Angels are bees but so is Beez and so are plenty of humans, who are also ants. Crowley is both a spider and a murder hornet and Aziraphale is a [dust] mite and a bee and the point is that everyone is actually many different kinds of insects and everything else. Human, angels, demons-- doesn't matter. They're all insects because they're all people.
Ok, so let's talk about the art reference first and then the colors, and what this all maybe could possibly mean. First is that this is a story that features The Apple-- and the apple is also referenced in one of the opening credits frames that goes by prior to the worm-- and worms eat apples. Apples and worms go hand-in-hand and if you toss into this, as this teaser does, a reference to a bowler hat, like the worm is wearing? Then we're talking about allusions to some of the most famous surrealist paintings that exist-- those of Rene Magritte.
You are probably most familiar with The Son of Man, which is Magritte's self-portrait:
Tumblr media
Norman Rockwell also painted a homage to this called Mr. Apple, in which a man's head is entirely replaced by an apple. Here we have also an emphasis on the eye, like in Good Omens, and the apple obscuring the face from view. The subject is also standing in front of a wall with the sea behind him.
Magritte made two companion paintings to The Son of Man, including the one I've always liked even more, entitled La Grand Guerre (The Great War). The real Great War of Good Omens has always actually been about blowing up your halo. Aziraphale might not have blown up his literal halo since The Great War back in the day in Heaven but his great war is within himself and the on-going process of more fully allowing himself to try to be free of the mental anguish from Heaven.
Tumblr media
The Great War painting features the same seaside scenario but with a woman as the subject, no visible bit of eye, lilacs in lieu of the apple, and an umbrella... basically all of which are things related to Good Omens. Lilacs in Good Omens, chiefly used so far through our purple-eyed Gabriel, relate to change and revolution and the cyclical nature of those things by way of their heralding of spring in Pratchett's Discworld.
Tumblr media
There is also Magritte's The Man in the Bowler Hat, in which the face is obscured by a dove, symbolizing peace, and it's not like this isn't a show with a great deal of bird-related figurative language happening here (not to mention the supernatural characters being semi-literal birds as well)...
Tumblr media
Now, look at the worm's colors and accessories with relation to the characters in Good Omens. The worm is red, blue, pink, purple... and it is wearing a black hat and black sunglasses.
The black hat is Beez. The sunglasses are obviously Crowley, as is the red in the worm. The blue in the worm is Aziraphale. The purple in the worm is Gabriel. The four of them together are all represented by this one worm where the demons-- Crowley and Beez-- are the head of the worm. They are out in front, like the demons have been with being first to fall. Their angels, Aziraphale and Gabriel, are the body of the worm. Collectively, they're all the same creature and that creature is predominantly pink-- the color of love and romance and health.
Beez and Gabriel together are The Fly but the whole Ineffable Quartet together is The Worm.
The metaphorical worm-- our Ineffable Quartet of main characters-- eats the metaphorical apple... meaning: they all fall, just as people always do.
It's the worm eating the apple that leads to more apple trees and gardens, after all; it's all a cycle. Eve eating the apple in The Garden of Eden is known as The Fall of Man, even if none of us really think that Eve eating the apple was a bad thing. It was unjust judgement that triggered some consequences-- some positive, some negative-- but a fall always starts, as it will always end, with a garden and an apple-- with a feeling of being trapped and needing to move forward and with a temptation to try to do that.
Every end of something-- every fall-- is really the beginning of something else. People fall in different ways all the time. They go up, they go down-- it's just part of living.
So, I just said our characters? They all fall. There's only one of them left who hasn't had the supernatural, Heaven/Hell version of a fall-- Aziraphale. Technically, the whole story is his fall. We've been watching it all along but if we're saying the collapse that leads to the new beginnings of our ending that still has to happen is Aziraphale's big fall, that's the story-- and the worm is proof of the happy ending.
Right before the worm appeared in the teaser, the pink hearts fell as rain from the sky. The very same things that are Clues in the opening credits of S2 that the romantic, vavoomy rain that Crowley's been going on about is related to Crowley and Aziraphale and their history via those healthy pink hearts falling in the opening credits as rain drops over the two of them on the roof of the bookshop are also symbolizing that Aziraphale's fall, as we saw at the end of S2, is because he long ago fell in a different way-- in love with Crowley-- and the need for them to be safe and be able to be together is what finally led to Aziraphale's fall. That's what we were watching in The Final 15 and I'd bet him falling in the Heaven/Hell sense could be what kicks off The Finale.
The scenes in the teaser prior to the worm also echo that because we have a lot of scenes of Crowley and Aziraphale walking the Earth together and then we have the shot of Jimbriel-- animated Jimbriel!!! 😍. He is as he was in 2.01's The Arrival, plus his wings being visible. He's naked and carrying the moving box, representing the start of S2. He's in the dark with nothing around him-- Jim's memory loss and his semi-fall that we saw in S2. We are shown him, then the falling hearts representing Aziraphale's fall, then the worm. That's the story-- Jim represents S2 that led to the falling hearts ending and that's what the story is working on in The Finale. The worm is the happy ending.
By the end of the story, our main characters are those who have wormed their way out of difficult situations to be able to live freely. They are, as we already know they are, just like the rest of the humans, even if they're immortal.
They're just people who eat literal and metaphorical apples.

Circ's Switching Advice
The number one thing to remember when it comes to switching and learning to control, in our opinion, is compromise. You have to work together to switch, and that can be difficult.
Tips and tricks I've learned:
Grounding and meditation have helped a lot. When we're triggered, it's a lot harder to sit with myself and say, "Who do I need to help me handle this?" If you need to switch, stay calm and breathe.
We have found it easier with various visualizations. For instance, when we switched today, Ve imagined herself flying out of the fronting circle -- but she was in too much pain from our headache to switch. So instead, she visualized me coming over and patting her shoulder, which I did. Then, I was close enough to take the control, and she could go lay down.
In connection with that above bullet, visualization helps in the outerworld too. We found it helped us a lot when we started writing our experiences through the lens of a robot with multiple "cores" who represented our alters. When the bot switched, the color of its UI switched as well to the colors we associate with. Now, when we switch IRL, we visualize our eyes changing color to the associated color, which helped to ground our switches more in reality.
We found it helped to have an accountability buddy for switching, in this case our spouse @circulars-singlet. They will remind us of how long we've been out, which in turn makes us think, "hey, you're right, I tend to get burned out if I'm out that long. How am I doing?" Those check ins are really helpful. They'll also remind us if we said we wanted to switch.
We sometimes have found it helps to focus on the feeling of our body while switching. For instance, Numb when he fronts tends to have a better posture than us, so if we want to switch to Numb, we often straighten our posture. It's kinda like... we make the house something the person would like to live in if we want them to come to the house, yknow?
We also used to use music to help switches along. Still works to this day. Roy's the only one who likes country, so hearing country music helps get him closer to front. Same with vocaloid for Tavi and swing for Numb.
Communication is vital, however you end up doing it. We've basically always been able to contact one another, but we have used journals before to do so. If you want someone to switch in soon, maybe writing them a note or calling out to them innerworld would be a good idea. Making them aware of that desire in any way is a great call.
Connected to that and compromise, it can sometimes be hard to suggest someone come and take the burden. We actually still are struggling with this concept. Asking someone to switch in is hard, because we understand how difficult life can be, and it's hard to ask someone to take that burden on. Our therapist has been working with us to view it more as "Thank you for your help" and less "Sorry for what I'm doing to you."
I'm starting to run out of steam, sadly, but please folks, feel free to chime in with your own ideas.

"We should study the aphrodisiac effects of the local plant life more closely, I think," he said, looking through the chart of expected human reactions to Ivalka-3 Specimen-5.
As a matter of decorum, Dr. Gutierrez had been told he could name only one species after himself, and he wondered which choice would be seen as least hubristic in the coming decades. A plant, didn't seem too bad. And it might be a nice thing to have his name on, if the projected pharmaceutical uses bore out.
"Where would we find the humans?" Paris asked. "Do we just send samples back home?"
"That would take ages," he answered, his eyes wandering up his grad student's silhouette.
Field biologists were always fit people, on account of the job requirements and easy access to biomedical implants in the twenty-fifth century, but Paris' legs and core were particularly impressive. Strong and slim, ending in impatient, ever-bouncing feet that told him she was thinking hard, probably about something else.
"We could try... A small sample with multiple doses, to test how dose-responsive the effects are," he proposed. "Given the neuropharmacologocal profile, it must be... An experience."
"I don't think the research team will take a couple of case studies," she said with a little laugh. It was intoxicating enough that he wondered if he'd inhaled some of the pollen from the samples by accident. He hadn't. Their sterile technique had been perfect.
"Well, no, but... They may think it useful, if we sent a neural scan to go with it."
She pressed her lips together. He shouldn't have been looking at them. "So what do you propose? Print some EEG trackers on our skin, take turns?"
"Perhaps. We'd have to ready a questionnaire beforehand. And we don't know how long they take to metabolize."
"That seems easy enough," she said, rolling to her feet. Her shirt fell down, no longer pressing against her abdomen, and he grieved the loss quietly. "Intravenous or oral?"
The last word reverberated in his skull for just long enough that she tilted her head expectantly.
"Um... Neither," he said, looking back at the charts. "Neither, uh, dermal. The application should be dermal, easier to interrupt, lower initial dose, simpler to scale, and our medical printer should be able to do it once we have gathered enough samples."
She nodded and wandered over to the printer, checking the requirements in a position conveniently hidden from view due to the bulk of the equipment. They worked like that, together and apart at the same time, until lunch hour snuck up on them. They stepped outside to cook, mostly so the tent wouldn't smell like fish, and he did his best to take in the alien landscape around them instead of looking at her, and her perfect legs.
He was almost thankful when the flying lizard attacked.
I really do want to write a book about a depressed professor having an affair with his grad student, except instead of being an English professor as is typical, they'll be xenobiologists exploring an alien planet.

How many kids is a "large family" to you?
To me? I think a family is truly big somewhere around 6-7 kids, but 5 isn’t small. 4-5 is like... middle sized. Ish.
And yes I’m fully aware that my view is skewed since I have nine siblings and know several families with 8+ kids, don’t worry. It is a bit subjective.

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

If being weak is a "sin" in Crocodile's mind, then isn't a painful defeat and maybe even death rightful punishment for it? A punishment you deserve for your crime of "being weak"? That's an intriguing mindset from him because it makes me wonder how Crocodile might view his own past and the things he has gone through? I might not go as far as to say Crocodile "blames himself" for the things he's gone through, as he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who dwells on the past like that. But I do feel like Crocodile has accepted in his mind that things like losing his hand happened because he was weak, and it was his own fault. That he can not blame anyone else for what has happened to him. He fucked around and he found out.
It's just interesting because to some degree, One Piece thematically does agree with this sentiment, this is a world where the strong eat the weak. (One example at the top of my head; Luffy refusing Katakuri's apology when his sister intervened with their battle, saying he should've dodged the attack properly if he didn't want to get hit.) Chaka falling in this scene and being unable to stop Crocodile may lead to the deaths of so many more, including his loved ones, and if that comes to pass, it's is Chaka's own fault. For being too weak. But also Crocodile has twisted that idea; Crocodile is using his worldview here to justify himself and essentially saying he can do this (take over Alabasta and kill a million innocents doing so) and get away with it because he's powerful. When in reality "weakness is a sin" isn't about the survival of the fittest, but how this is a world where the strong are meant to protect the weak. (See: Luffy) (Also how Pell told Baby Vivi in that flashback about how he trains so he can protect the Royal Family; again, he he craves power not to oppress the weak but to protect them)
But, just to get back to Crocodile again, I feel like this worldview might also give us more insight as to how he acts in certain situations post-Alabasta. Like when we see Crocodile towards the end of Miss Goldenweek's cover story, both when he declines to escape from jail and in his Impel Down mugshot, Crocodile has a smile on his face. That really is the face of a man who has accepted his fate, is it not?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Welp, this is what I get for losing to a child in flipflops"
Or when we see him come collect his debt from Buggy; Crocodile seemed quite relaxed and fully admitted he had assumed Buggy would've ran away before he even got there to collect his money. Of course, considdering his trust issues Crocodile would've been mentally prepared for Buggy skedaddling anyways, but the fact that he loaned the clown money to begin with while assuming he'd probably never get that money back-- like Crocodile knew that was going to happen and he just accepted it. And just rolled with it.
Of course, when things take an Unpleasant, Unexpected Turn, he will blow a fuse. Multiple, even.

Him angy
IDK man this is all just interesting to me

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]
okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.
The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?
Yeah, fucking absolutely.
But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.
You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.
Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]
Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]
There are options.
There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.
#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways#There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse.#I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something#There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others#or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all#or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost#$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably.#or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill#or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels.#or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis#suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away#life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away#Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly#people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before#they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability.#long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious.#they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority.#they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag#but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing#it already is.#its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people#ALL people.#they use basic human rights as bargaining chips.#the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.

Pile 1. Pile 2. Pile 3.
Pile 1
Hello pile 1 , this person thinks of you as someone who can get somethings outta nothing. To them you're probably an easy going person. They may also think that you're mostly submissive in nature . They think you're good at balancing, moderation or managing things . For example you may like to drink but you're also someone who works out and meditates so this is the balance they appreciate about you . They may think that you've gone through so much that now you're becoming fragile you've been holding onto it for so long and you desire that someone else could hold it or do it for you . Probably you're trying hard in school. I'm also getting this line from Charlie Puth 's song see you again . We've come a long way without you my friend and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again . And and It's been a long day without you friend and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again . They may also think that you're trying to fit in when you're not supposed like you're supposed to be yourself gurlll. They may also think that you're connected to sprituality probably your chakras are open , aligned and active or you're working on your third eye and throat chakra. They think you may like to plan things before executing them even in your daily life you may like to make to do lists and tick it off when the day ends . They may also think that you're working on something right now for future and they may wanna lend you a hand in your work ? This person thinks you might need someone to help you and they're here for you :) probably you're thinking of traveling but you're not in the mood to go solo and this person is ready to go on trip with you . They may also think that you need to get outta your comfort zone and cross that self made boundary to see that there's so much in this world to see and explore. They may think that you need a change . You need to do the changes in yourife and be more go with the flow typa person instead of planning everything months before as it might not lead to the natural process of plans because you kinda manipulated events by planing them ? idk if that makes sense . Take this sentence only if it resonates otherwise let it fly . I'm getting very sagittarius vibe you might need to or wanna embody this zodiac's vibe. Also don't be afraid of falling on ground and being bruised . Those bruises are your experiences and those scars will always tell you that how far you've made. And how you've stood up again for yourself. That's all pile 1 Bbye bless you and love you .
Pile 2
read by @tobari7x3 💗
I'm getting, Pile 2 is in the procss of creating like, learning to create any form of art or maybe a new skill. You're not an expert at it, you're still learning and you have immense passion for it— at least that s your person’s point of view. They think your passion is like your wings to your being, and they believe that whatever ou are working hard to learn, your passion for it would lead you to success. Im getting this person enjoys your creations/ work and loves watching you in the process. I struggle in words, but I have this imagery in my head: Theyre excited and watching you work and your passionate bursts give them a feeling of deep admiration. Their eyes literally see you as the bright shining being, when watchin you work or talk about your work/art. In short, tey deeply admire your passion for your craft and you inspire them to thrive, to maybe try something new, go past fears and work hard. I feel like this person has seen you rise fro the ashes: I heard the word “Phoenix” in my head starting the reading, however, the second pull of cards are clarifying it. Theyve seen your darkest times… maybe you werent always the person youre today and faced struggles with being confident abut yourself and were afraid of doing what your heart desires for the fear of failure was holdingyou back from your passion. However, you broke through like a determined warrior, accepted your flaws and moved on to pursue the will of your heart. Yure a free spirited phoenix in their eyes Pile 2! They are proud of you and admire your story. You inspire them to break through their own fears.
Pile 3
Read by @tobari7x3 💗
Welcome pile 3! First of all, it was very prominent that your person struggles to communicate their feelings. They are calculative and even a little timid. I wonder if they do not want you to know what they think about you… First look at the spread, there is a color palette: Mostly blues, purple and a hint of yellow on every card from the first pull. Now that I notice, the yellows are either stars or a light source! And OMG! 3 major arcanas with Ace of Wands! With my limited experience with color symbolism in tarot, I can map out that this person perceives this connection as a spiritual light that leads them through their shadows and into somewhere high and profound. This connection makes them spiritually grow. I can sense some romantic undertones to their feeling(take as applies, might be a specific group of people). On the cards- Your arrival in their lives may have put an end to something and pushed them to look into themselves and fix old patterns. Eventually becoming the better version of themselves and starting a new beginning into a new era with this connection. They feel a deep spiritual bond to you, and yo make them take steps they really should. Reversed AOW tells me that this relationship is rather calm and lacks passion or isnt that energetic at the moment…very slow pace. “Let it be slow for the soul needs healing” I just heard that. I pulled 2 more cards: Youve made them learn crucial lessons about themselves. Overall, they view you as a spiritual mentor,friend and maybe even a lover(specific groups again, take as resonates). They are grateful to have you and this profound connection in their lives. I literally hear them say “thank you” hehe! Good luck lovely pile 3!!!
I hope you liked the reading . Thank you so much for letting me read for you . Wishing you best ahead . 🎀Bless you and have a nice day
Loads of love , jam\gem

TERFs 🤝 Zionists
Using the exact same talking points and rhetoric.
#just saying#don't mind me but you Know I'm Right#like its the same picture#like both will ask for a blood test to see how much you're allowed to talk about your own idenity for one#they tend to use gaslighting when you notice historical events#and they're both holocaust deniers who believe no other group was effected by the holocaust#they both hate Jews and have a history of using conspiracy theories to justify their hate of other groups#both use the same ideologies of far right fascists#both love nazis so much that they copy their methods#both twist the truth to fit an agenda#both have the whole “every accusation is an admission” thing where they accuse others of being what they are#both are racist and racially profile and investigate people#both have a very binary view of human beings and think there's a secret “us vs them” battle going on between them and other groups of people#especially when said people finally get sick of being hate crimed and show agression after the initiated aggression#both accuse “the other side” (aka an entire group that doesn't want anything to do with them) of stealing their idenity and picking on them#they see people chanting “we hate nazis” and “we hate fascists” as a personal attack against them#Both want sympathy for acting aggressively to total strangers who are minding their own business#both claim to care for Jews (some even are Jewish) but use antisemetic rhetoric in their politics then cry when people call them out on it#Both don't understand the concept that being part of a marginalised group doesn't stop you from hating those of the same or other groups#Both are backed by far right christo-fascists (#And both claim that others are being hateful when said people simply say “you're taking what I said out of context” or twist their words#Aaaand they both use bot accounts online and would rather believe professional agistators rather than factual evidence#which includes surrounding themselves in echo chambers that claim really over the top conspiracy theories and history denialism-#- to justify their views#Also they end to be the same people sometimes

"The feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist being appointed as the day upon which the coronation of the king [Edward V] would take place without fail, all both hoped for and expected a season of prosperity for the kingdom."
— Excerpt from the Croyland Continuator / David Horspool, Richard III: A Ruler and Reputation
Even though Edward IV’s death was unexpected, after twelve years of peace there need not have been too much of a sense of foreboding about the succession. The great dynastic wound from which the Wars of the Roses had grown had not so much been healed as cauterized by the extinction of the House of Lancaster. There was no rush for London, as had happened in earlier, disputed successions. The royal party didn’t set out from Ludlow for ten days after hearing the news of Edward IV’s death, while Richard took his time, too. And the new king had [his mother the dowager queen and] two uncles to support him: his mother’s brother, the sophisticated, cultured, highly experienced Earl Rivers; and his father’s, the loyal and reliable Duke of Gloucester, to whom Edward IV had entrusted unprecedented power and vital military command.
... [Richard of Gloucester] had achieved his goal by a mixture of luck and ruthlessness, and if he made it appear, or even believed himself, that destiny played a part, this only made him a man in step with his times. Modern historians have no time for destiny, but sometimes the more ‘structuralist’ interpretations of the events surrounding the usurpation can come close to it. When we read that ‘the chances of preserving an unchallenged succession were . . . weakened by the estrangement of many of the rank-and-file nobility from . . . high politics, which was partly a consequence of the Wars of the Roses and partly of Edward IV’s own policies’, it is hard not to conclude that an unforeseeable turn of events is being recast as a predictable one. But without one overriding factor – the actions of Richard, Duke of Gloucester after he took the decision to make himself King Richard III – none of this could have happened. That is, when the same author concedes ‘Nor can we discount Richard’s own forceful character’, he is pitching it rather low*.
Edward IV had not left behind a factional fault line waiting to be shaken apart. Richard of Gloucester’s decision to usurp was a political earthquake that could not have been forecast on 9 April, when Edward died. After all, Simon Stallworth did not even anticipate it on 21 June, the day before Richard went public. We should be wary of allowing hindsight to give us more clairvoyance than the well-informed contemporary who had no idea ‘what schall happyne’. This is not to argue that Richard’s will alone allowed him to take the Crown. Clearly, the circumstances of a minority, the existence of powerful magnates with access to private forces, and the reasonably recent examples of resorts to violence and deposition of kings, made Richard’s path a more conceivable one. But Richard’s own tactics, his arrest of Rivers, Vaughan and Grey, the rounding up of Hastings and the bishops, relied on surprise. If men as close as these to the workings of high politics at a delicate juncture had no inkling of what might happen, the least historians can do is to reflect that uncertainty [...].
(*The author who Horspool is referencing and disagreeing with is Charles Ross)
#wars of the roses#edward v#richard iii#edward iv#my post#I'm writing a post on this topic but I have no idea when I'll finish it so I figured I should post Horspool's epic analysis#or should I say epic takedown? <3#friendly reminder that Richard's usurpation happened primarily and decidedly because of Richard's own decisions and actions#we need to stop downplaying his singular agency and accountability by casting the blame on others#most of all Elizabeth Woodville and her family but also the bizarre interpretation of historians like Ross and Pollard (et al)#who somehow hold Edward more responsible (through a 'structuralist' view as Horspool says) even though that literally makes no sense#also friendly reminder that actual contemporaries did not view Edward V's minority as a sign of worry and potential discontent#quite the opposite - they expected him to have a prosperous reign. which made sense since Edward IV left his son a far more stable#country than any former minor king (and most other adult kings tbh). The irony is that it was his son's usurper who benefitted from it.#also I added Elizabeth Woodville to the list because Edward V himself specifically said that he trusted the governance of the country#'to the peers of the realm and the queen' as quoted by Mancini (likely relayed to him by John Argentine)#and this is supported by evidence. After Edward's death the Croyland Continuator substitutes Elizabeth's role in the council#for that of the King: 'the counsellors of the king now deceased were present with the queen'#we know Elizabeth presided over all the council's decisions and initiated proposals (the size of her son's military escort) on her own#She was clearly the one with the most authority in the council (who were described as being present with *her* not anyone else)#Hastings made demands but he couldn't enforce them at all (and was in fact worried). It was clearly Elizabeth who had that power.#She was likely going to play a very prominent role during her son's minority and imo it's problematic to assume otherwise#(Lynda Pidgeon assumes otherwise but she's based her assumption on objectively false information so I don't think we should take her#seriously)(see: she claims that EW lacked influence compared to her male relatives in royal councils when EW HERSELF WAS IN ROYAL COUNCILS)#That's not to go too far the other direction and claim EW tried to dominate and tactlessly exclude others - we know she didn't#The impression we get by this first council and by Richard's own actions indicates that she Richard and Anthony would likely#work *together* when it came to governing the realm#I do find it frustrating when people disregard the fact that based on the impression we have she would've had a very visible#and powerful role
