Beast Of Burden - Chapter 10

Full Series

'Don't do anything rash', hmph! As if Lunaeris needs to be told that. She acts only after determining the best, most decisive course of action her considerable intellect can conjure.

"Father!" She declares, barging into the throne room. "We are going to war."

"What!? Why!?"

A good question. Why are they going to war?

"I'm short on details at the moment." She says, waving her hand dismissively. "But Kallixenia's order is under attack! We must assist them."

"Who on earth is attacking them?" Her father asks, concerned. He's getting bogged down in the particulars, of course, when time is of the essence.

"I'm... not sure, exactly." Lunaeris admits. "However-"

"Lunaeris..."

She whines loudly.

"I'll send some scouts to investigate the situation, but I can't in good conscience send our people to fight a war we don't know anything about." Says her father. "Even if I could; we took heavy losses from the demons, and we're still rooting out their remnants. I don't know that we have the forces to spare."

He is, admittedly, making points.

"Gah, fine." Lunaeris groans. "But I'm headed out there to help."

"You- R-Right now?" He asks.

"Within the hour."

"Oh dear." Her father mumbles, not expecting that his promise to let her go would be tested so soon, or in such dire circumstances. "Do... Do be careful?"

With another dismissive wave and a frustrated 'myeh' of acknowledgment, Lunaeris leaves to pack her things.

A schism! Those fuckers, those absolute fuckers! Gods, what was she thinking, of course the church wouldn't let Kallie change her oath even if the gods would, how would they sell her life away-

Wait, how would they sell her life away anyway? Even if she were keeping her oath, Kallie's already bound to her. Is her dad still paying them? That would be stupid.

Ugh, it doesn't matter! Lunaeris gathers up her adventuring gear, raids the storerooms for more potions because- well, she's here, she may as well; and makes her way back to the throne room.

"Are you still paying the church for Kallie's services?" She asks her father, who is in the middle of sending for his scouts.

"...No? I paid upfront for her protection, spared no expense. She's sworn to you for life." He says. "Doubly so now, I would think. You are married to her."

"But then why would- Ugh!" Lunaeris huffs.

"Did you find out what's going on?"

"No! That's the problem!" She whines. "The church is mad at her and I don't know why and-"

"The church?"

"A schism, she said! Or, someone said, I don't know who- It doesn't matter!"

"I've heard nothing of this." Says the king, frowning. He gestures to one of his messengers. "Disregard my previous orders; I want to meet with all the archbishops of the Elven church. Summon them here, urgently."

The messenger scurries off, and Lunaeris sighs.

"I- I don't know that we're involved. I don't know who's involved, besides her order."

"I rule by divine right, Lunaeris. Our church may only be one amongst many allied together, but if sides are being picked then I want it to be clear: Our kingdom stands with its princesses." He says resolutely. "Are you going on your way?"

"Yes! Yes, I- Thank you!" Lunaeris laughs shakily. "You won't regret this! I'll let you know when I've met up with them!"

"But- Do still try to be careful, yes?" Her father calls after her, stoic mask faltering a bit as she eagerly dashes off.

~

Rushing off to save someone who's about a week's travel away from you is less valiant and more frustrating than Lunaeris would like. She curses her past self for never taking much interest in any of the books her teacher had on long-distance teleportation. The pyromancies always just seemed so much more fun, so much less nausea inducing. Really, who needs to teleport more than 20 meters?

Her, apparently! Idiot.

Her communications with Kallixenia aren't comforting either. The situation is deteriorating fast- They can repel any one assault with ease, but the inquisition doesn't stop coming. Even in shifts they can barely sleep, the slow trickle of reinforcements barely keeps pace with the wounded- There simply aren't enough paladins in their order.

They need help, and she's- she's just one wizard, but that's better than nothing. Even if her father is truly supporting them in this, politics are slow. She has to do what she can before then.

Which is, ah-

Well, she can-

If she just-

Oh, hells. All of this is so much easier when you have someone to stop your enemies from simply running up and gutting you. She'd really expected to have a plan by now, but she doesn't, and she's here, and-

Maybe if she simply tags along with the inquisition forces? Like just another adventurer here for some coin? No, that puts her into far too close quarters, and how would the defending paladins tell her apart from the rest?

Perhaps she could ask Kallie to come get her? No, no, definitely not! She's behind enemy lines, what with the inquisition base camp practically overtaking the town like this. She can't ask her to fly right down here and get shot out of the sky.

Obviously she can't just start a huge fire in their camp, that'd be foolish. Obviously.

But, you know, small fires, subtle ones, ones that she can walk away from before they get going enough to draw attention- That's not a terrible idea. Just a few little sparks in some key spots, and she could really do some damage! Torch their supplies, leave them out in the cold; and then while they're all dealing with that, Kallie can come get her. All she has to do is snoop around a little! Simple!

~

Lunaeris stirs with a splitting headache, her cheek pressed to the cold, hard ground. The memories of how far she got into her plan before her capture are fuzzy, but the tent that she's in seems very not on fire.

Dammit.

"High Cleric Dione, I believe you when you say this is the best way, however-"

"There is no however! You said you wanted an alternative to the sustained assaults, she's the alternative."

High Cleric? That sounds important. Maybe she can still swing this, torch some important church dickhead.

"I worry that you overvalue your little monastery. If word of this gets back to her father-"

"Overvalue? Overvalue!?" The High Cleric squawks. "The Oath of the Bulwark- You want to talk about her father, do you know how much money it made us from him alone? How much good the church can do because of it? All those hungry fed, sick healed-"

"Dione, I've been a loyal servant of the Inquisition for fifteen years." The other woman says, rolling her eyes. "You don't need to lie to me about where the money goes." Gods Lunaeris hates these two already. This is really all just over selling Kallie's life again? How vile.

She stokes those feelings inside her, lets that hate bubble and boil until-

She coughs violently, smoke billowing from her lungs. There's- The mana can't go anywhere, it's trapped inside her, searing through her veins.

"Oh good, she's awake. Leave us." Says the High Cleric. "Trying to start another fire, Princess?"

Lunaeris takes some time to answer, choking out soot until she can breathe again. She laughs; a weak, wheezing laugh.

"So I did manage to start some?" She says, smug. "I couldn't remember."

"One." Dione answers, unimpressed. "Easily extinguished, minimal damage."

"Aw. Get these cuffs off me, I can do better."

Dione ignores her.

"You know, I've been quite curious about Princess Lunaeris." She says. "My Kallixenia was an exemplary student. A paragon of our order. I send her away, and within six months my paladins are getting wedding invitations because she's gotten involved with her charge."

She pauses, with an exasperated sigh.

"I can't say I approve, but- The will of the gods. Who am I to deny prophecy? And then the two of you run off, infuriating your father and disgracing my order." She says, putting her hand to her brow and and shaking her head. "Then, long after I had given up on seeing that particular embarrassment righted, Kallixenia returns! Princess Lunaeris is back where she belongs! I think that I can relax, my name no longer besmirched by the two of you. Not one month goes by, and my star pupil breaks her oath so badly that none can ever take it again."

She what?

"And so I have to ask myself: Who is this Princess Lunaeris? Who could have corrupted Kallixenia like this? What on earth-" She asks, looking over Lunaeris disdainfully. "-is so special about you?"

"Well, I'm really quite charming, is the thing." Says Lunaeris.

"Are you now."

"Yes, I act with a certain brash determination that's very easy to get swept up in."

"Mm." Hums Dione, clearly unconvinced. "And this undid almost a full lifetime of rigorous training?"

"Well, you're not getting the full picture. I also have a delightfully plump behind."

"From where I'm standing you seem to have a rather plump everything."

"Yes, and delightfully so!" Lunaeris reiterates, annoyed. "Are we quite finished discussing my attractiveness?"

"Yes, we are; I'm rather sick of listening to you already." Dione says, gagging her with a strip of cloth. "I don't need to understand how you've done this to undo it. Your heretic beloved told me, before she threw me out of my own monastery, that she thought her oath was wrong. That she- you'll love this- she would rather you have died than her own life be laid down in your stead."

She what!? Hah! That's her fucking WIFE GET FUCKED YOU OLD CRONE-

"Let's see if her word is still worth anything." Dione says, opening the flap of her tent to beckon the woman she had been speaking with back in. "Send a messenger up to the monastery- alone, unarmed. They'll let them through. Let Kallixenia know that she has one day to end her little rebellion, or her princess dies."

[mariacallous]

For the apotheosis of his entire “poisoning of the blood” campaign, Donald Trump has planned a spectacular extravaganza in Madison Square Garden on 27 October, a week before the election. When JD Vance sings Trump’s fulsome praises to introduce him, his ominous tribute will not inspire comparison to the night in the Garden of 19 May 1962, when Marilyn Monroe sang Happy Birthday, Mr President to John F Kennedy.

Trump’s climactic rally will not be in the spirit of any past presidential event ever held there. His gathering for the great racist replacement theory will be the culmination of his spiraling descent since the Charlottesville rally in 2017 when neo-Nazis chanted, “Jews will not replace us.” “Fine people on both sides,” Trump said then. Now, at his night at the Garden, Trump will revive the memory of the infamous American Nazi mass rally held there on 20 February 1939 through his reflected Hitlerian rhetoric.

In the last week, Trump has pledged to deploy the military against “the enemy within”, domestic opponents he claims are worse than foreign adversaries – those Hitler called “Feind des Volkes”, or “enemy of the people”. Trump has threatened to destroy CBS, ABC and the New York Times. About ABC, after it conducted the debate in which he performed disastrously, he called to “take away their license”. After Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview, having refused his own, he tweeted on 10 October: “TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE.” About the Times, he said on 9 October: “Wait until you see what I’m going to do with them.” He has singled out by name journalists for the Times and the New Yorker as “FAKE OBAMA LOVING ‘JOURNALISTS”. At every rally he denounces the “fake news”, a drumbeat for years, echoing Hitler’s pejorative slur, “die Lügenpresse” – “the lying press”.

Trump traveled on 11 October to Aurora, Colorado, where he claimed a Venezuelan gang had seized control, “scum” and “animals” who have “invaded and conquered” and “infected” the town, a description dismissed as false by its Republican mayor. “We have to clean out our country,” said Trump. His language represented the Nazi idea of “Rassenhygiene” – “race cleansing” that required purification, not an academic interest in genetics but a program of eugenics for designating inferior races to be isolated or eliminated.

As Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, “A people that fails to preserve the purity of its racial blood thereby destroys the unity of the soul of the nation in all its manifestations. A disintegrated national character is the inevitable consequence of a process of disintegration in the blood.”

The former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, retired general Mark Milley, according to Bob Woodward in his new book War, told the veteran journalist: “No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump. Now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.” Trump had stated that for Milley’s communication with his counterparts in China on January 6 to reassure them that the US military was stable, he deserved “DEATH” – to be executed.

On 14 October, retired general Mike Flynn – Trump’s former national security adviser, whom he pardoned for failing to register as a foreign agent and obstructing justice – was asked at a Christian nationalist rally for Trump whether he would preside over military tribunals in a second Trump term to “not only drain the swamp, but imprison the swamp, and on a few occasions, execute the swamp”. “Believe me,” Flynn replied, “the gates of hell – my hell – will be unleashed.”

Trump has been inevitably drawn to the Garden, in the city that made and unmade him. He is irreversibly entrapped in his endless neurotic syndrome of desperately seeking approval there that he constantly repels and success he inexorably undermines, a cycle of failure, rejection and humiliation. He wants New York to love him unreservedly, but his relationship with the city has been one long unrequited romance. His true love affair has always and only been with himself. When he does not receive the adoration he feels he deserves, he hates New York. Then, he tries to win its love again by performing a disgusting act, which, when he is predictably rejected, triggers his anger once again. And, then, he engages in gestures of infantile defiance, like holding a Nazi-esque rally. Trying to show himself triumphant over the city, he invites its scorn once again, and again, and again. He never comprehends that he is the cause of his continuing narcissistic injuries.

Trump’s rally, through the rhyme of history, will be a rebuke to the greatest campaign speech delivered by Franklin D Roosevelt, which, though given 88 years ago in the Garden on 31 October 1936, rings remarkably contemporary, a speech for “the restoration of American democracy” and its “preservation”.

“We have not come this far without a struggle and I assure you we cannot go further without a struggle,” FDR said. “We know now that government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me – and I welcome their hatred.”

Three years after FDR spoke at the Garden, another rally was held there, on 20 February 1939, under the sponsorship of the German American Bund, raising the slogan of “America First”, to advance the great replacement theory that Jews and other “inferior races” were displacing white Aryans. The Nazis claimed the mantle of true Americanism and Christian nationalism. Swastikas framed a gigantic portrait of George Washington as the backdrop to the stage. From the balcony hung a banner: “Stop Jewish Domination of Christian America.” “Wake up!” shouted the Führer of the Bund, Fritz Kuhn, “you, Aryan, Nordic and Christians, to demand that our government be returned to the people who founded it!”

Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze, the Bund’s public relations director, declared that white supremacy was the essential basis of the nation. “The spirit which opened the west and built our country is the spirit of the militant white man,” he said, citing racial segregation and immigration quotas as its bulwarks. “It has then always been very much American to protect the Aryan character of this nation.”

In 2019, a seven-minute documentary about the Nazi rally of 1939, A Night at the Garden, was nominated for an Academy Award. To promote it, a 30-second TV ad was produced with the tagline: “It Can Happen Here.” The line was a reference to Sinclair Lewis’s 1935 novel, It Can’t Happen Here, about a populist demagogue defeating FDR and imposing a fascist regime. Lewis’s wife, the famous journalist Dorothy Thompson, a columnist for the New York Herald Tribune, who had reported on the rise of Hitler, pointedly attended the Nazi rally. “I saw an exact duplicate of it in the Berlin Sports Palast in 1931,” she wrote.

When the film distributor of A Night at the Garden sought to buy time for a spot on Fox News, its CEO, Suzanne Scott, rejected it as “not appropriate for our air”. After the 2020 election, during Trump’s ramping up to the January 6 insurrection, she ordered that Fox News suppress factchecking his lies because it was “bad for business”.

Now, in his announcement of his night at the Garden, Trump advertised a clipped version of the replacement theory, declaring that New York was “reeling” from “Kamala’s reckless open-border policies”, “flooding” the city with criminal “illegal migrants”. For nearly a $1m contribution to attend the event, the top tier, donors are promised an “Ultra MAGA Experience”, details to follow.

Trump’s Maga rally will be the first time since the 1939 Nazi rally that the same themes of the replacement theory will echo in the Garden. But his closing argument is more than Nazi cosplay. He cannot help but reveal his deepest desire to be loved and then to fling the middle finger to the city whose unconditional admiration he has sought since he first crossed the Queensboro Bridge.

Trump’s permanent physical move to Palm Beach after his failed coup in 2020 has not transformed him into a contented Florida Man. To the inveterate New Yorker, the Sunshine state is strictly for snowbirds, God’s waiting room for shuffleboarders. Mar-a-Lago, his winter escape, has become his unnatural embittering palace-in-exile. Florida represents disgrace to Trump.

Trump’s emotional journey back to the White House must travel through New York. He has nothing but contempt and indifference for Washington. He despises policy, flaunts his ignorance and detests anyone who has ever tried to temper him, from four-star generals to Republican congressional leaders. He wants the pomp without the circumstance. January 6 played out Trump’s true view of the capital.

Trump plots his night at the Garden as the climax of his comeback tour. He may have been president, but never top of the heap. Roy Cohn could tell him how to skirt the law and ingratiate himself with the mob, but Cohn was not a Virgil to guide his protege to respectability. Trump’s lowlife publicity antics, tutored by Cohn, made him into one of the revolving cast of characters populating tabloid trash. The larger the headline of the sordid story about himself, the bigger Trump’s delusion that kitsch burnished his class. He was always crestfallen when his frolics did not win his admission into the club.

Trump has only been truly comfortable strutting in his old New York, conning and threatening, greasing the palms of the mafia, stiffing his contractors and workers, while trying to buy his way into society affairs. Time and again, the city spat him out. He was ridiculed and reviled. He went bust six times. He defaulted on the Trump Shuttle. The banks denied him loans. He had to sell his yacht named for his daughter, The Princess. His brutish father, who financed his wild ventures, throwing good money after bad, had to buy chips illegally to momentarily float his sinking Atlantic City casino. He dumped two wives. He allegedly sexually assaulted dozens of women. When he tried to lowball Frank Sinatra, an idol, Ol’ Blue Eyes told him, “Go fuck yourself.”

After Trump had plunged in what seemed to be his final bankruptcy, he was rescued by a TV producer, Mark Burnett, who created the reality TV show The Apprentice, which depicted Trump as a business genius reigning over the Manhattan skyline. The sheer fiction was the veneer that enabled his grubby lucrative product placement side deals. His motive for running for president was a branding scam gone haywire.

Now, he has returned to the city on his road to redemption. Yet, so far, he has been held accountable for his vast crimes only in New York. He has been found liable for defamation and sexual assault and termed an adjudicated rapist by the judge in the E Jean Carroll case, and ordered to pay $83.3m in damages plus continuing interest; found liable of widespread financial fraud and ordered to pay $364m for ill-gotten gains plus continuing interest; and convicted of 34 felony counts of financial fraud for hush-money payments, to a porn star and Playboy model with whom he had affairs, in order to affect the outcome of the 2016 election.

Once again, he intends to prove himself in the city that never sleeps, the city that will give him another shot at murdering someone on Fifth Avenue and getting away with it. A star is reborn.

These little town blues are melting away I’m gonna make a brand-new start of it in old New York And if I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere It’s up to you, New York, New York

Trump now says that if he loses he will blame the unappreciative Jews – he hasn’t been “treated right” by the Jews and their support for Democrats is a “curse”. But Trump, who has picked up a few Yiddish words, uses them unconsciously like a native New Yorker. On 2 January 2021, he displayed his proficiency in his notorious telephone call with the Georgia secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, in which he sought to intimidate him into committing election fraud to switch the state’s voting results.

“So look,” said Trump. “All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have.”

Raffensperger resisted Trump’s strong-arming, the Georgia outcome stood, and four days later Trump incited the assault on the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to thwart the certification of the election: “Hang Mike Pence!” Trump has since been indicted in Georgia for election fraud, a case in legal purgatory until after the 2024 election.

Twice, during his call with Raffensperger, Trump derided the Republican governor, Brian Kemp, who refused to be complicit in Trump’s scheme, by calling him a “schmuck”. Perhaps the word was lost on Trump’s listeners. According to Leo Rosten’s The Joy of Yiddish, it carries several meanings, including “penis” and “a dope, a jerk, a boob, a clumsy bumbling fellow”. Rosten wrote that “few impolite words express comparable contempt”.

Now, New Yorkers can only wonder, what kind of schmuck holds a Nazi-esque rally in Madison Square Garden?

Do We Even Give A Damn?

US Supreme Court issued two key rulings within the past week: •Houselessnesss is now illegal •US Presidents have been granted immunity.

Houselessness Per Google: “Last week, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Grants Pass v. Johnson, which makes it easier for communities nationwide to fine, ticket or arrest people living unsheltered, even when there is no adequate shelter available.”

They have criminalized being houseless even when there are no other options available.

Immunity •Granted US Presidents immunity — as long as the President states that s/he was acting in an official capacity regardless of crime(s) committed, they will be granted immunity.

Due to a literal average 3 second attention span — 3 seconds! — and instant collective amnesia — within a day, dead Boeing whisteblowers & Super Bowl Chiefs Parade shooting were instantaneously forgotten by the public who had already moved on literally by the very next day.

Theres always another show to stream, social media feed to scroll, youtube video to watch, Discord server to respond to.

They are completely emboldened now and are gearing up for an end game.

You do know who they is — right?

From Chicago Sun Times: “As disturbing as this agenda is, the most alarming and repellent policy proposal contained within Project 2025 is the restructuring of the federal government, eliminating the kind of public servants who stopped Trump from completely disassembling the Department of Veterans Affairs, overcame his resistance to expelling Russian spies, deterred him from shooting racial justice protesters, derailed his plan to deploy the military against migrants and kick undocumented children out of schools and deflected his suggestion to drop nuclear bombs into the eyes of hurricanes.

The Heritage Foundation, which produced Project 2025, grew out of the mid-1970s movement to protect racially segregated schools. The first battle it waged was against a school district’s adoption of multicultural textbooks — “n- - - - er books,” as some opponents called them.’'

Why is Orbán their model? Because he showed them how to use elections to undermine democracy and ensure perpetual power for his team,” historian Nancy McClean said. “How? Orbán purged the civil service and refilled it with obedient loyalists. He got the Constitution altered. He completely dominates. And this is what Heritage wants to see happen in the United States.”

Hitler did it too — look up Night of The Long Knives.

Knives Out.

I want you to know He's not coming back Look into my eyes I'm not coming back

So knives out Catch the mouse Don't look down Shove it in your mouth

If you'd been a dog They would've drowned you at birth Look into my eyes It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth

So knives out Cook him up Squash his head Put him in the pot

I want you to know He's not coming back He's bloated and frozen Still there's no point in letting it go to waste

So knives out Catch the mouse Squash his head Put him in the pot

Thom Yorke: “It’s partly the idea of the businessman walking out on his wife and kids and never coming back. It’s also the thousand yard stare when you look at someone close to you and you know they’re gonna die. It’s like a shadow over them, or the way they look straight through you. The shine goes out of their eyes.”

Its like a shadow over them.

The shine goes out of their eyes.

Project 2025. Modern Power Project.

The Democrats naturally have their own Project 2025 — Modern Power Project.

You dont actually think the two parties are different. Do you?

You didnt actually waste your time watching the debate. Did you?

Why is Netanyahu addressing Congress on July 11th after murdering 50k Palestinians since October 7th when 1,700 Israeli civilians have been killed since October 7th?

Dont those numbers seem uneven to you?

Thats not a war or a two-sided conflict — its a genocide that the US is funding to the tune of $4 billion a year in aid to Israel and supplying the weapons & bombs for via Boeing, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman & local mid-western weapons manufacturers.

Netanyahu gets the bully pulpit & gets to address Congress.

What does a murdered 6 year old Palestinian child, Hind Rajab, get?

International investigation into her murder confirms she was killed in “deliberate” Israeli fire.

Still, the US refuses to condemn Israel, refuses to stop funding the genocide and arming the IDF in their merciless butchering of my Palestinian brothers and sisters.

Whats going on?

62 House Democrats voted no last week to recognize the current civilian death toll in Palestine.

Why do you think that is?

As we move into the 4th of July “celebration” of a genocidal white supremacist police state based off of brutalism, slavery, militarism, racism, patrimony, patriarchy, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, the ethnic cleansing of indigenous peoples, the powers that be want you to forget about the genocide in Palestine that YOU are funding with YOUR taxpayer dollars if you work a W-2 job or if you made more than $400 last year via freelancing or entrepreneurship.

That is the vast majority of adult Americans DIRECTLY funding the genocide in Palestine that is literally being livestreamed in real time on our phones on social media.

Enjoy your fucking fireworks.

Democrats Project 2025: “There’s also the awkwardness that surrounds any trend that serves to increase the identification between a private nonprofit and a sitting government — something that may be a boon to a particular think tank that wants to look influential, but can be uncomfortable for those who think about the policy ecosystem writ large.”

“My concern with ‘left’ or ‘right’ talent banks is that they would fuel the idea/narrative that the state is being captured,” said Enrique Mendizabal, whose On Think Tanks (https://onthinktanks.org/) studies think tanks themselves."

Were being set up.

And they know people are too distracted scrolling, streaming, gaming, messaging — theyre too numb — theyre too disaffected — non existent attention spans — instant collective amnesia — to give a fucking damn.

The knives are out.

As Michael Jackson pointed out so emotionally in Earth Song — he literally screamed it — do we give a damn?

The answer collectively is a resounding — About what?

Its not “No”. 

Its bored indifference. Casual apathy. Unfeeling ignorance. 

Its a yawn, an eye roll, a hand wave.

Its not even bothering to look up from scrolling social media.

Hashtags, trending topics, for you page.

Endless rabbit holes on youtube.

IG stories.

Discord servers.

Whatsapp group chats.

Twitch streams.

The age of giving a damn is over.

Time for AI, time for robotics, time for 80% of jobs to be replaced by AI, robotics, technology & automation.

Time for NeuraLink neural implants that will send an electronic signal to my neural synapses the millisecond a social media post receives a like.

Time for Google Glass — Version 2.0 — to play ads on our corneas and behind our eyelids.

Time for augmented and virtual reality to take the place of ever attending anything live ever again — sports game, concert and anything else — why attend anything live when I can just put on my VR & AR headset?

Why live my life when I have my virtual life on Metaverse?

I never have to live my offline life ever again.

Youtube didnt exist before 2005.

Does anyone remember the time?

When songs were three to four minutes long not two minutes?

When cell phones werent surgically permanently attached to our hands?

When we werent on our cell phones 8 to 12+ hours a day every day?

When social media wasnt ubiquitious?

Do you remember the time?

Project 2025 is a 1000 page policy paper.

Per Google: “This 1000-page synopsis focuses on how the next Republican administration should spend their first 180 days in office on uprooting bureaucracy that they consider to be favoring the liberal political agenda. The director of the project, Paul Dans described the project by its pressing goal of “flooding the zone with conservatives.”  

If successful, Project 2025 would facilitate the firing of approximately 50,000 federal workers. This mass exodus of a major workforce is merely a means to an end for the right-leaning Heritage Foundation and the other conservative corporations co-authoring the Project. They see the firing of career government officials as the most direct route to creating a federal bureaucracy filled with political loyalists.”

I dont have time to read 1000 words, much less a 1000 pages.

Does anyone remember a time before music videos?

Why do you think you havent heard as much about the Democrats version of Project 2025?

Its called the Modern Power Project.

Have you figured out yet that Democrats & Republicans are both controlled by the dark entities that inhabit the center of the planet of the earth?

They are the ones that install Reptilians as figureheads — Biden, Trump, Netanyahu, Blinken, etc.

Look at the eyes.

They are Reptilians.

All US Presidents descend from the same UK royal bloodline. 

Look up the genetic testing that has been done.

They are Reptilians.

The dark entities that inhabit the center of the earth placed a power grid on earth multiple millennia ago designed to keep humanitys consciousness at a lower level indefinitely so that they would be able to enslave & control us.

The Reptilians are their enforcers.

Dark empaths and malignant narcissists are their foot soldiers.

The dark entities that inhabit the center of the earth do not want humanity on a mass level raising their consciousness, experiencing their ego deaths, opening their third eyes, experiencing a kundalini awakening, self-actualizing and self-ascending.

If humanity on a mass level does the above and mass ascends, the planet — earth — will also ascend from our current 3D to 10D multidimensional living.

If you are a starseed, indigo child or angelic empath like me, and like Youneekk, your mission is to do everything you can in your own way for humanity to experience a mass consciousness raising.

Youre not human. 

Its a temporary manifestation.

You are only temporarily manifested as a human. 

Remember who you are.

You are an eternal energetic limitless being that originated in the dreamscape.

Thats all the afterlife is — your imagination.

We all intrinsically know from the time that we are children that we can dream and imagine anything.

Thats all the afterlife — dreamscape — is.

Its a multidimensional dimension that we all have existed in prior to our very, very temporary manifestations as humans for eternity.

Just like the “Big Bang” (Kemetic Explosion), we have existed eternally just like the universe and everything in it.

The creation explosion exploded out in a multifractal explosion of light eternally into the past and present in one eternal moment of creation that created everything — humans, unicorns, angels, dragons, gods, mermaids, whales, dolphins, wizards, magick, spells, fairies, sirens, mages, potions, incantations, poetry, art, music, creative expression, crystal balls…

Please Save My Earth, a 90s anime & manga, is actually real. 

That is why people sent letters to the editor of the publication that the manga was originally serialized in stating that the manga brought back their memories — that they were actually aliens from a distant planet in a past life like the main characters that were sent to Earth in their current life to save the planet from ecological destruction.

Please Save My Earth is just describing starseeds & indigo children as that is our mission and the “past life on a distant planet” represented in the anime and manga is simply remembering that prior to you physically incarnating as a human being when your human parents conceived you, you were a limitless energetic eternal being in the dreamscape — you were highly empathic, sensitive, third eye open, self actualized and self ascended — then the process of incarnating as a physical human being in a 3D realm when your parents conceived you severed you from your true self.

Especially if youre American, you were then raised in a western capitalist society with the number one military and economy in the world — a patrimony, patriarchy, fascistic police state based on systems of inequality oppression and police brutality, white supremacy, free labor from enslaved Africans with no restitution or reparations ever paid to descendants that built this country, genocide of the Native Americans, Trail of Tears, zionist devil, funding the genocide in Palestine & supplying the weapons through Boeing, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman to murder 50k innocent Palestinian civilians, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, might makes right, exploitative, low down and dirty, cutting corners, killing whistleblowers, everybody dog food.

Hyper competition, being treated as a machine, dehumanized, being treated as a robot, a cog in the capitalist machine, being programmed to keep your head down and work, play through injuries, work while sick, “pain is weakness leaving the body”, militaristic, hegemonic, xenophobic, millions of poverty related deaths but povertys never addressed, industrial complex pipelines that lead directly to prison and/or death — foster “care” system, cancer industry, medical industry, pharmaceutical industry, NFL, WWE, adult film industry, NASCAR, PBR, UFC, boxing, psychiatric industry, OTC industry, opioid industry, corporate America, retail, fast food, food service, K-12 indoctrination centers, colleges & universities, US military, Pop Warner, fraternities & sororities, weight loss & diet industries, plastic surgery industry, cosmetics industry, alcohol industry, snack industry, beverage industry, meat industry, self care industry, social media, gaming, streaming, reality TV, big tech, big banks, finserv, Wall Street, Fortune 500, Fortune 100, Fortune 25, Fortune 10, Hollywood, music industry, TV industry, publishing industry, theater & Broadway, dancing, stripping…

“On the night of Nov. 5, I didn’t sleep at all, but it wasn’t because of air raid sirens. When it seemed clear that Donald Trump would win the U.S. presidential election, the mood on Ukrainian social media and among friends turned overwhelmingly negative (when it wasn’t outright disbelief: My publisher, who lives in Kharkiv, insisted for more than 30 minutes that something was surely wrong with the data).

The war was effectively over, people said. Mr. Trump would halt all American military aid and Ukraine would be forced to cede large swaths of territory to Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president. I told myself that Ukrainians have a tendency toward pessimism. That Ukraine is the front line against Mr. Putin’s project to make Russia great again, a project that is certainly incompatible with Mr. Trump’s. Surely Mr. Trump would decide that it is in his interest to thwart Mr. Putin and act decisively. But my mood, too, eventually tumbled to dark places.

(…)

In Ukraine, there is safety in simply trusting that the worst will happen. To dare to hope has always been the risk.

“What good things have I seen in my lifetime?” our 87-year-old neighbor Grandma Anya likes to say, with a solid fatalism that’s built on being born soon after the famine of the early 1930s to parents who had lost three children; on watching her savings, like many others’, become worthless right before the breakup of the U.S.S.R.; and on the steely hand from Moscow that has grasped at the heels of Ukrainians as we’ve strained for democracy, Europe and the rule of law.

In the past few years, however, there have been moments for hope. Like in the spring of 2022, when our army routed Russian forces from the suburbs around Kyiv and then took back nearly all of Kharkiv region, in the north, in the fall. There was a confidence then that Ukraine had earned the support of allies and that together we would repel Russian aggression.

But we’re tired. Some troops on the front lines have gone without leave for many months. Some in the east are falling back more than a mile a day at times. This week it snowed. The cold season is beginning, and with so many power stations already destroyed, the prospects for the winter are bleak.

We read that Russia is burning through men and matériel, but also that it has harnessed its economy to serve the war and produces weapons and ammunition around the clock. That it has used fewer missiles recently not to go easy on us, but because it is stockpiling them to inflict more damage when it gets colder.

Even before Mr. Trump’s election, the West’s support for Ukraine was indecisive, and the clamor among those who think this war is simply costing too much is growing louder. “Some still want to continue sending enormous amounts of money into this lost war,” Viktor Orban, Hungary’s president, told Hungarian national radio last week. “But the number of those who remain silent, and those who cautiously argue that we should adjust to the new situation, is growing.” Mr. Orban is on particularly friendly terms with America’s president-elect.

So what happens now? We wait. We wait for the publication of Mr. Trump’s plan for peace and eagerly consume the reported details of it that appear in American newspapers. We decide whether to believe the news reports that Mr. Trump had a call with Mr. Putin, or the Kremlin, which said the call never took place. We wait for Mr. Trump to tell us our fate in his own time. We decide whether to risk a hope.”

“Ukraine could develop a rudimentary nuclear bomb within months if Donald Trump withdraws US military assistance, according to a briefing paper prepared for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence.

The country would quickly be able to build a basic device from plutonium with a similar technology to the "Fat Man" bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945, the report states. "Creating a simple atomic bomb, as the United States did within the framework of the Manhattan Project, would not be a difficult task 80 years later," the document reads.

With no time to build and run the large facilities required to enrich uranium, wartime Ukraine would have to rely instead on using plutonium extracted from spent fuel rods taken from Ukraine's nuclear reactors.

Ukraine still controls nine operational reactors and has significant nuclear expertise despite having given up the world's third largest nuclear arsenal in 1996. The report says: "The weight of reactor plutonium available to Ukraine can be estimated at seven tons ... A significant nuclear weapons arsenal would require much less material ... the amount of material is sufficient for hundreds of warheads with a tactical yield of several kilotons."

Such a bomb would have about one tenth the power of Fat Man, the document's authors conclude.

"That would be enough to destroy an entire Russian airbase or concentrated military, industrial or logistics installations. The exact nuclear yield would be unpredictable because it would use different isotopes of plutonium," said the report's author, Oleksii Yizhak, head of department at Ukraine's National Institute for Strategic Studies, a government research centre that acts as an advisory body to the presidential office and the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine.

The plutonium would need to be imploded using "a complicated conventional explosion design, which must occur with a high detonation wave velocity simultaneously around the entire surface of the plutonium sphere," the report reads. The technology is challenging but within Ukraine's expertise, according to the briefing.

Last month President Zelensky said he had told Trump that Ukraine would need nuclear weapons to guarantee his country's security if it were prevented from joining Nato, as President Putin has demanded. Zelensky later said he had meant there was no alternative security guarantee, and Ukrainian officials have since denied Kyiv is considering nuclear rearmament.

The paper, which is published by the Centre for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies, an influential Ukrainian military think tank, has been shared with the country's deputy defence minister and is to be presented on Wednesday at a conference likely to be attended by Ukraine's ministers for defence and strategic industries.

It is not endorsed by the Kyiv government but sets out the legal basis under which Ukraine could withdraw from the nuclear nonproliferation treaty (NPT), the ratification of which was contingent on security guarantees given by the US, UK and Russia in the 1994 Budapest memorandum. The agreement stated that Ukraine would surrender its nuclear arsenal of 1,734 strategic warheads in exchange for the promise of protection.

"The violation of the memorandum by the nuclear-armed Russian Federation provides formal grounds for withdrawal from the NPT and moral reasons for reconsideration of the nonnuclear choice made in early 1994," the paper states.

Russian troops are gaining momentum as they advance in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, and Trump has pledged to cut US military aid unless Kyiv submits to peace talks with Putin.

Bryan Lanza, a Trump adviser, has already said that Ukraine will have to surrender Crimea. This week Donald Trump Jr taunted Zelensky, posting on X: "You're 38 days from losing your allowance."

Ukrainian forces are heavily dependent on US weaponry, and any reduction in the flow of western arms into the country, let alone a complete curtailment, would have catastrophic consequences on the battlefield. That has prompted Ukrainians to look for a way to take matters into their own hands.

"You need to understand we face an existential challenge. If the Russians take Ukraine, millions of Ukrainians will be killed under occupation," said Valentyn Badrak, director of the centre that produced the paper. "There are millions of us who would rather face death than go to the gulags." Badrak is from Irpin, where occupying Russians tortured and murdered civilians, and he was hunted by troops with orders to kill him.

Western experts believe it would take Ukraine at least five years to develop a nuclear weapon and a suitable carrier, but Badrak insists Ukraine is less than a year from building its own ballistic missiles. "In six months Ukraine will be able to show that it has a long-range ballistic missile capability: we will have missiles with a range of 1,000km," Badrak said.

Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former commanding officer of the UK's Joint Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Regiment told Times Radio that Ukraine "certainly" had the technical know-how and practical wherewithal to produce a nuclear weapon.

"Trump will take note because the last thing we want is more nuclear proliferation and any sort of nuclear strike in Europe, be it from Ukrainians or the Russians," he added.

Bretton-Gordon called Zelensky a "master strategist" who was willing to try "absolutely everything".”

❝ HEAR YE, HEAR YE ! get ready for a world of fun and thrills as jousting knights and royal delights with costumed villagers and other merrymakers prepare to make your visit to the cadbury renaissance faire an unforgettable experience ! cadbury castle, the one time home of the great wizard merlin and his magical camelot, invites you to enjoy the 12th century village and all of the fantastical entertainment that comes with, including wandering musicians, hilarious comedy acts and, of course, royal jugglers ! you'll meet a host of memorable characters and enjoy the sport of full contact live armored jousting, along with getting the chance to enjoy fabulous food fit for royalty and over a hundred unique merchants selling beautiful, handcrafted goods ! come as you are or wish to be, and don't miss your once a year chance to join the arthurian court - or to nominate your loved ones for the chance to be this years BURNING WITCH !  ❞

WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE :  

the cadbury renaissance faire is an all wix event run from the ruins of cadbury castle in somerset over a week of the ministry of magic's choosing, usually at the height of summer. they get the final say on the dates that it tends to run because of the mountain of work that they have to put in to ensure that it goes off without a hitch - and, of course, without a breach of the statute of wixen secrecy. the departments of magical games & sports, law enforcement and transportation are forced to work together in the leadup to make sure that the entire area within a ten mile radius is appropriately covered by protective charms and muggle repellents, and that everyone who is travelling in by magical means - be it by broomstick, portkey or apparition from local points - is doing so safely. while the faire doesn't draw the same sort of crowds that high importance quidditch games have historically involved, and most overseas wix have their own faires to enjoy that mean they can't be tempted by one in cadbury, it still has its regulars and, every year, a huge amount of newcomers who are drawn by intense promotion across wixen radio and classic flyers.

set in the 12th century and on the very land where the 'mythical' ( to muggles, deeply real to wix ) land of camelot once lay, the big selling point of this faire is the celebration of the larger than life figures that many young wix learn about at home before they ever make it to hogwarts. for a week, the ruins of the old castle are transformed into a sea of colorful tents, stalls and stages, with guests getting the once in a blue moon chance to live the way that those historical figures - merlin, morgan, nimueh - once did. it isn't the most accurate of events, especially now that the next generation have started to attend and bring with them new interpretations on a classic theme, but there's enough going on that most forgive it.

the shops and stalls sell well made ( and in some cases, sourced from shein ) clothes for those that didn't have a costume at the back of their wardrobe, jewelry to accessorise, muggle style weapons to fit the theme and other handmade goods ( soaps, candles, ceramics, potions ), and while these are definitely one of the main attractions, the wandering actors who stay in character throughout are another huge part of the appeal. the food is always of the highest quality, with meat pies, turkey legs and mead available at most of the stalls and a large group feast held at the centre of the ruins every night, once the sun goes down. there are comedy skits, acrobats, wandering musicians, fortune tellers, pub crawls, jousting competitions, quests and just about everything else you can think of - including, this year, a week long opportunity to nominate witches who will each stand trial at the end of the event, morbidly competing for the high honor of being the single one that gets mock burned at the stake. the latter mightn't be the sort of event to take your children to, but the rest of the faire promises family friendly fun that is worth having experienced, even just the once !

OUT OF CHARACTER:

the cadbury renaissance faire is making its triumphant return to nox, this time complete with a fun new witch trial subplot - something that has been a long, long time coming, if you can believe it ! that idea got floated way back in 2021 and never managed to make it to a full event of its own, even though we really enjoyed, at the time, the idea of it being considered a huge honor to be the burning witch of the year. i think it fits the vibe we're going for, here, and i'm glad it finally found its place ! the trial will close out the event at the end of the week ( ic ) / two weeks ( ooc ), and will be as interactive as i can make it with ic nominations for the duration, and i'd recommend keeping younger muses away from it - though they're welcome to enjoy the rest of what the faire has to offer them ! costumes aren't mandatory for entry, though a willingness to get involved and to be as immersed as possible definitely is !

this event will begin with the posting of this message and end in two weeks time ! there'll only be about a week of cooldown between this and our next major event, another nox classic that i think you guys might already be expecting - i hope that's alright !

no character is required to attend, of course, especially if you consider this to be something that they'd be disinterested in, but you're encouraged to involve yourself as much as possible !

you can feel free to post any characters outfits that you'd like to post in the section that i've made on the main discord server, and nominate characters ( ic ) for the witch trials ! this was envisioned as a dash event, but you aren't required to pause any of your current threads - just make sure to tag them appropriately to avoid confusion !

event related starters ( including private ones ) can be tagged with nox.event042 ! the faire is located at the ruins of cadbury castle, somerset - the nox canon home of camelot - for anyone who tags location ! 

if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to send them to the main ! please like this post once you've read it !

With the coming arrival of the Silken Squall, the Cobalt Soul and Ziku use the opportunity to leave town, while Ank'Harel's attention is drawn elsewhere. The Skyship takes three days to get from Ank'Harel to Shammel, a coastal tourist centre close to the Yuan-ti Temple. While aboard the ship, Cherchael does a reading for a concerned citizen invested in the state of the pantheon.

She reads; Knight of Pentacles, Six of Wands (inverted), and Four of Swords (inverted). Cherchael interprets this as meaning that the Gods have been working hard over the eons to heal the people and the land from the Calamity, but this excess pride in their work has been met with a lack of recognition, certain areas of worship are failing. Due to stresses of their ongoing battles, the gods may turn away from their creations.

A Cobalt Soul operative named Zoszu meets the party in Shammel, giving them a place to stay, brokering supplies for travel, and a Teleportation Tablet coded to Ank'Harel, allowing them a quick return when they they've done. Zoszu also asks the party to find certain scriptures of Zehir in the Temple, to deliver to the Cobalt Soul, with promise of a gold reward.

The party spends most of a week travelling through the jungle, with Ziku acting as a guide to her old horrid home. The party are harried by several swarms of Stirge, which stop coming when Quierk finally learns how to properly apply insect repellent. They are also ambushed by Trolls, but escape the encounter in one piece. At the week's end, the party finds a large stone wall blocking off the valley ahead, and spotted on the ramparts are several Yuan-ti of different types.

Ziku first attempts to approach the wall's main gate under the guise of a returning loyal subject, but an outburst from Quierk in the bushes ruins the approach. Quierk and Earl skirmish with a Manticore the Yuan-ti have trained, while Noelle and Cherchael fight from a distance. One "accidental" sword slash too many from Ziku alerts the Yuan-ti Malison present that she's a traitor, but Noelle uses this confusion as a chance to cause unrest between the Pureblood underlings and the Malison superior. The Malison and one of the Purebloods are loyal to the Temple, but the other Pureblood at the gate communicates they are part of a resistance, and once those in their way are dealt with, directs the party to find like-minded others in one of the slave compounds on the other side of the wall.

The party flee the wall, since the Malison set off a loud alarm before he fell, and next time, will be trying to gather information on how to up-end the Temple of Shisara from within.

Disabled Gardening

-YOGA MAT: Get a yoga mat or something similar that you can throw down on that mud and sit on - I do almost all my gardening from my little mat and it also gives you 1 clear section to work on

-TIME: I started prepping my garden this year at the beginning of winter, one plot at a time. Sometimes it takes hours to weed a tiny spot, sometimes I get a couple of plots done - I cover up what I've cleared with cardboard and come back to it when I have energy. When Spring gets closer, give yourself a couple of seed types a week to get done instead of trying to do them all at once - there's good charts online on what to plant when per zone

-NO TILL: There's other advantages to no till methods (doesn't disturb weed seeds or risk losing topsoil) but being able to lay down cardboard over a section and just leave it to prep itself is great. The grass and weeds should die within 3-6 weeks (see: time) and if you have decent soil you can pull the cardboard, throw amendments in, and plant. If your soil is unworkable have someone help throw dirt and amendments on TOP of the cardboard and plant there

-FREE STUFF: Money is always tight, but watching Craigslist or FB marketplace or similar can net you a good amount of free or very cheap supplies and plants. Local gardening, buy-nothing, gleaning, or agricultural sharing groups will have plants, seeds, supplies, and sometimes food. Seed libraries also exist and can sometimes be found at your local library! If you don't have room to plant you may have a local community garden you can apply for a spot in. Compost, wood chips, and leaves should all be posted for free pretty often

-TOOLS: The right tools can make a big difference, especially with things that depend on grip strength (like loppers or shears). Having ones that aren't rusted or dull make a big difference, and there are construction or art resale stores that may have tool options. Failing that I've found some good stuff at Goodwill over time. Having a cart that can easily cross whatever terrain you're working in can be helpful, pushing a typical wheelbarrow with any amount of weight through mud gets difficult Fast. The best I've seen for this is a design like the (unfortunately pricey ~$100) Gorilla Carts - something with 4 wheels, an easy to turn front, and a dumping option - I hope to have one someday. Also very very useful is a timer for your hoses and a sprinkler so plants get watered even on bad days (or weeks)

-FRIENDS: Asking for help sucks it is the worst thing in the world but alas we should do it anyways. Lots of people like to garden but don't and will have fun coming out and helping prep beds or plant seedlings with you, and in my experience maintaining a garden once that's done is the easy part - things don't need perfect weeding or care to grow and it feels like everything is less heavy than dirt and compost. Also, plant companion flowers that act as insect traps (baits them away from the plants you want) or repellant - nasturtium, marigold, there's a lot and they save you from having to actually deal w the pests most of the time.

#5 Best Ways to Get Rid of Cockroaches in the Kitchen Permanently and Naturally

Discover 5 proven and natural ways to eliminate cockroaches from your kitchen for good. Keep your space clean and pest-free with these simple, chemical-free solutions.

Introduction

Cockroaches in the kitchen are a nightmare! These pesky invaders not only spread bacteria but also ruin the peace of your home.

The good news is you can get rid of them naturally and permanently without exposing your family to harmful chemicals.

In this article, we’ll explore five effective, eco-friendly methods that will help you reclaim your kitchen and keep it roach-free forever.

Why You Should Prevent Cockroaches

Cockroaches aren’t just unsightly; they pose significant risks to your health and hygiene. Here are some compelling reasons why preventing cockroach infestations is crucial:

1. Health Hazards

Cockroaches carry a variety of harmful pathogens that can cause diseases. Their droppings, saliva, and shed body parts can trigger allergic reactions and worsen asthma symptoms, especially in children.

2. Food Contamination

These pests are notorious for contaminating food and utensils with bacteria, putting your family at risk of foodborne illnesses. Even a small infestation can result in widespread contamination in your kitchen.

3. Rapid Reproduction

Cockroaches reproduce quickly, turning a small problem into a large infestation within weeks. Ignoring the issue can make it far more challenging to control.

4. Damage to Property

Cockroaches can damage paper products, fabrics, and even electronics. They gnaw on cardboard, books, and other household items, leaving behind a mess.

5. Unpleasant Odor

A large infestation can leave behind a foul, musty odor caused by their droppings and secretions. This odor can linger in your kitchen, affecting your home’s overall air quality.

Preventing cockroaches not only protects your health but also preserves the comfort and cleanliness of your home.

Also check: Tips and Tricks for a Pest-Free Home

1. Keep Your Kitchen Spotlessly Clean

The foundation of a roach-free kitchen starts with cleanliness. Cockroaches thrive in areas where food and water are readily available.

How to Keep Your Kitchen Clean:

Wipe down surfaces: Clean countertops and tables after every meal.

Seal food properly: Store food in airtight containers. Avoid leaving leftovers exposed.

Empty trash regularly: Dispose of garbage daily and clean the bin frequently.

Fix water leaks: Cockroaches are attracted to moisture, so repair any dripping faucets or pipes.

Maintaining a clean and dry kitchen will cut off the food and water sources that cockroaches rely on, forcing them to look elsewhere.

2. Use Natural Cockroach Repellents

Several natural ingredients act as powerful cockroach deterrents.

Top Natural Repellents:

Bay Leaves: Place fresh bay leaves in kitchen corners, drawers, and cupboards. The strong scent repels cockroaches.

Neem Oil or Powder: Neem has natural insecticidal properties. Spray diluted neem oil or sprinkle neem powder in affected areas.

Essential Oils (Peppermint or Eucalyptus): Mix a few drops with water and spray it around cockroach-prone zones.

These natural remedies are safe for pets and kids while effectively keeping cockroaches at bay.

3. Seal Entry Points

Cockroaches enter your home through cracks, gaps, and drains. Sealing these entry points will reduce the chances of future infestations.

Steps to Seal Entry Points:

Inspect walls, windows, and doors for cracks and crevices. Seal them with caulk.

Use door sweeps to block gaps beneath doors.

Install mesh screens over vents and drains.

By blocking their entry, you prevent cockroaches from finding a way into your home.

4. Use Diatomaceous Earth (DE)

Diatomaceous Earth is a natural, non-toxic powder made from fossilized algae. It’s deadly for cockroaches but safe for humans and pets.

How to Use DE:

Sprinkle food-grade DE in areas where cockroaches are likely to hide—under sinks, around appliances, and behind cabinets.

Leave it overnight and clean it up in the morning.

The sharp particles in DE damage the roach’s exoskeleton, causing dehydration and death.

5. Set Natural Traps

DIY traps can help catch and reduce the cockroach population.

Effective DIY Traps:

Sugar and Baking Soda Trap: Mix equal parts of sugar and baking soda. The sugar attracts cockroaches, while baking soda kills them. Place the mixture in small lids near infested areas.

Jar Trap: Coat the inside of a jar with petroleum jelly and place bait (like fruit or bread) inside. Cockroaches can climb in but can’t escape.

These traps are easy to make and work wonders in reducing the number of roaches in your kitchen.

Conclusion

Getting rid of cockroaches in the kitchen naturally and permanently requires consistent effort and a combination of strategies. By keeping your kitchen clean, using natural repellents, sealing entry points, and setting up traps, you can create a cockroach-free environment.

Ensure a clean and hygienic space with Professional Cockroach Pest Control in Hyderabad. Protect your family’s health and maintain kitchen safety.

Dust Mites: What They Are and 10 Proven Strategies to Eliminate Them for Good

Dust mites are microscopic creatures that thrive in warm, humid environments and feed on dead skin cells. Although they don’t bite, their waste and body fragments can trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory discomfort. To foster a healthier living space, follow these 10 scientifically backed methods to eliminate dust mites and prevent their resurgence.

1. Wash Bedding in Hot Water (130°F / 54°C or Higher)

Your bed is a prime habitat for dust mites. Wash all bedding, including sheets, pillowcases, and blankets, in hot water at least once a week. High-temperature drying further ensures mites are eradicated.

2. Use Hypoallergenic Mattress and Pillow Encasements

Shielding your mattress and pillows with dust mite-proof covers creates a physical barrier, preventing mites from burrowing in and multiplying. Opt for tightly woven fabrics to maximize effectiveness.

3. Keep Indoor Humidity Below 50%

Since dust mites thrive in humid conditions, maintaining humidity levels between 40-50% using a dehumidifier or air conditioner can make your home less inviting to these pests.

4. Vacuum with a HEPA Filter

Regular vacuuming helps reduce allergens, but a vacuum equipped with a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter is essential to trap tiny particles rather than dispersing them back into the air. Focus on carpets, rugs, upholstery, and mattresses.

5. Steam Clean Carpets and Furniture

High-temperature steam cleaning effectively kills dust mites while removing deep-seated allergens from carpets, sofas, and other fabric-covered surfaces.

6. Freeze Soft Items to Kill Mites

For items that cannot be washed, such as stuffed animals, delicate fabrics, or small pillows, seal them in a plastic bag and freeze them for at least 24 hours. This method kills dust mites without damaging the materials.

7. Opt for Hard Flooring Instead of Carpets

Carpets act as dust mite havens, trapping allergens deep within their fibers. Consider switching to hard flooring such as wood, tile, or laminate. If removing carpets isn’t feasible, vacuum regularly using a HEPA filter and steam clean frequently.

8. Dust with a Damp or Microfiber Cloth

Dry dusting only stirs up allergens, making matters worse. Instead, use a damp or microfiber cloth to effectively trap and remove dust without sending mites into the air.

9. Keep Pets Out of Sleeping Areas

Pet dander is a major food source for dust mites. To reduce their population, keep pets out of the bedroom and wash their bedding frequently to minimize allergens.

10. Incorporate Essential Oils for Mite Control

Essential oils such as tea tree, eucalyptus, and lavender have natural dust mite-repelling properties. Add a few drops to your laundry, cleaning solutions, or diffuser to create a fresher, mite-free environment.

A Healthier, Mite-Free Home

By integrating these dust mite prevention and elimination strategies into your daily routine, you can significantly reduce their presence and enjoy a cleaner, allergy-friendly home. Consistency is key, so make these habits a part of your lifestyle to keep dust mites at bay permanently!

[chelsfischer]

A ward is an energetic barrier around you, your family, your home, or any object, that turns away negative or unwanted energies. There are multiple types of warding one can do. Such as using black salt which creates a protection barrier, rosemary- mint creates a protection ward, sigils can be used as wards, jars, or Knots. The most common is a guardian ward. 
Rosemary wards negative energy. Garlic repels harmful forces, cinnamon is a protection shield, cloves are good for social negativity protection. You can carry nine cloves to ward off the evil eye, a clove studded orange wards off negative spirits.
A ward is important. This is used for protection and is to be done before a banishment is needed. A Ward is to protect yourself and others from negative energies to to prevent the likely hood of having to do a banishment. 
Protection spells, and warding should be done before any spell work. These protect against evil, evil eye, negative entities, unwanted negativity, and spirits, as well as to hold power of protection against others who wish to do you harm or your family, or animals harm. 
How to create a Guardian Ward:
• You can simply use 4 coins, set your intention with them, and bury one coin in each of the four corners of your yard. 
•You can also use a statue, this can be used for home protection as well. Select a statue you wish to use and cleanse the statue. Set your intention on what you wish it to protect for example, if you wish it to protect your home, walk it around your home announce to it each room you are in and tell it you would like it to protect it and anything in it. Once you have done this, place the statue in an area that it will reside tell the statue that it will reside in this area, but it is expected to protect the entire house of which you have shown it.
• You can use a plant as a guardian ward. However, please note that this may possibly kill the plant. You can also use a tree in your yard. Build a relationship with it give it gifts. This will start to set a bond with it and tell it what you want from it. However be consistent with gifting it. 
• You can create your own magical entity or spirit. This is known as a servitor. I will be focused more on this method for this post. When creating a servitor this should take your time. Do not rush through this!
Creating a Servitor: when creating it, you must understand that you need these simple things, it needs a purpose, it needs powers, what is the appearance of it, what are you naming it, how will you activate it, how will you sustain it, where will it be located such as where will it live, what is the fatal flaw? 
When creating a servitor you want to make sure you hash out all of the details. YOU are creating this and bringing it into the world. Think of this like it is your spirit child. Do not throw together everything within an hour or a day. Spend time on this take three days, a week, maybe even a month. The reason for this is because it is a creation you are making and you're making it for a reason. 
Purpose: What is the purpose of it?
Powers: What abilities does it have? What can It do to accomplish what you want?

ratella remastered: in the beginning.

old tumblr had some beautiful fan fic of a homophobic ratty looking man from school, rewriting for the sake of all that is beauty.

i stand, stare and disbelieve the sight before my eyes, I am finally graduating high school and while I am more terrified than ever of what is to come, I know that this is going to open my chances of not only accomplishing everything I've ever wanted, but becoming the girl I was meant to be.

all my life I knew I was different, ever sense I was enrolled into the cheese nibbler academy for divergent and violent rats in kindergarten I knew that something was off about who I wanted to be. off about how when I looked at the most beautiful girls in my class, I felt not a sense of love or sweaty hands and typical childhood emotions, but a feeling of intense and unfixable envy. I pushed this as deep as I could, assuming the alpha male position in my school years binge influences by the works of the most inspirational men I could find to repress my identity. Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate and of course Dreamybull. but thought my elementary school these urge to dress and act more feminine and truly my self did not dissipate, this caused me to repel against all of my natural instincts I was taught at the academy.

so I turned to violence, bullying every smaller rat, mouse and my biggest achievement the eldest neighborhood Cat Maswon Gyatfreigh after I almost fell victim to eating from his litter box. this continued through my young adult life, but no matter how many fights I started and then lost to or how bruised and bloody I was, I always felt an invisible pull towards something more, something I couldn't ever put my finger on as a source for all my hurt and anger.

it wasn't until I was in my last years as a little nibbler that I had finally met my match, my legs never got any bigger but my ego sure did, eventually leading to me finding the man who I realize now changed my life for the better. I was in the hallway at the academy and one of my notorious rivals "the Parm packer" challenged me to a dual which I could not refuse, I began to fight with my friends around me and fully beloved I should take him on, but within 5 seconds I was swept off my feet by his big strong arms. as he began to jump on my head, I felt my skull bang against the floor and the flashes of the cameras were exaggerated beyond anything I had seen, but with one last bang he was pulled away from me and my saving grace was there, the dean of students Melty Briar was there scooping me off the floor and showing the cameras away.

in the days following I came to the most shocking realization I ever had, I was not me. well I was of course but in the way that my body matched my face and my face my hair, but where does my soul fit there? in short, it didn't. I only had a few more years at the academy To go, but after the continuous fighting I was forced to leave for my own safety. while I was home I tried to body build but no matter what I did I never felt like anything of any meaning was changing the way my own soul did not fit into my body. it hit my like a truck 2 weeks after the fight, I just was in the bathroom one day looking down in the shower, slicking my wet fur with soap when the thought went across my head. "imagine I you just had some more curve there?" it seemed innocent enough and I assumed it was just more muscle definition so I started following workout videos on how to grow my hips, glutes, and shrink my waist, this was all rationalized in my head. I had found something I was happy with and it was always a bit more, a bit less there, all until the first time I got misgendered at the grocery store. I couldn't help but like it, even online I had started to go by my name now "Ratella" but there was no way I was a woman, right? was there?

What is in Mosquito Shield Spray and How Does it work?

Mosquito Shield® is a professionally applied mosquito spray that kills and repels mosquitoes and ticks. Our vector-trained technicians treat your common use areas such as pools, decks, patios, and swing sets.  They also pay special attention to where mosquitoes and ticks breed and congregate. This helps with mosquito control as well as tick control and prevention.

Our three-pronged approach kills mosquitoes, masks your CO2 (which attracts mosquitoes), and repels them away from your property.  The spray adheres to foliage, wood, stone/brick, and other organic materials. This creates a vertical barrier that strengthens with each visit.

Only Mosquito Shield® uses FlexBlend™ spray technology to maximize effectiveness. We monitor both mosquito population and weather conditions and adjust our location based program as needed. By rotating control products, leveraging proactive scheduling, and using resistance management strategies, we are able to deliver superior results and satisfaction.

A polymer, which acts like a rain shield, is added to each spray, helps the product withstand light to moderate rain and allows the barrier to remain in effect.

Tick Control for Your Yard

Help control your home from the dangers of tick-borne diseases with tick control for your yard. Ticks are parasites that feed on warm-blooded hosts including humans, dogs, cats, and deer. Without proper tick control and prevention services, these small pests can cause big problems. They carry a variety of diseases including Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Bartonella, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more. For instance, Lyme disease and other co-bacterial infections are caused by the bite of an infected deer tick, a type of tick which is prevalent in the North East. If untreated, these diseases can lead to a number of health problems and life altering symptoms. It’s likely you have heard of some of these diseases, but how can you get tick control in your own backyard?

There are few strategies to help you, your family, and pets lower the risk of getting a tick-borne illness:

Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants- If you are in a wooded area or in long grass, wear clothes that cover your arms and legs, tuck in your shirt, and tuck your pants into your socks to prevent ticks from getting on your skin.

Wear light colored clothes- If your clothes are lighter, you will be able to see the ticks crawling on you before they reach the skin.

Spray clothes and exposed skin with insect repellent- bug spray will help repel ticks before they bite!

Talk to your vet about tick prevention- Don’t forget about man’s best friend! Your pets can also suffer from diseases like Lyme, so talk to your veterinarian about tick, flea, and heartworm prevention.

Even with these preventative measures, it’s highly important to take all precautions to get control of your property from tick colonies and infestations.

Not ready to commit to a full season of mosquito control, but have an outdoor event coming up?

No problem, Mosquito Shield of South Pittsburgh offers a one-time spray for just such occasions with Event Shield.
