I thought it was only me seeing this but the plot was literally explained to by "uncle sam", literally called Kendricks performance "too ghetto" and said the (yt) people want to see light hearted dancy shit. drake being a p*do is a side story here.

How many times does it have to be said "Y'all dont want to hear me talk you just wanna dance"

People want just black people to entertain them and don't care about anything we have to say. I swear to god any commentary on the black expirence just goes over people's heads (This is America touched on this too)

Its safe in their little bubble and they don't want to leave and face even the most palpable form of expression that doesnt align with their experience. The same people who play 3D chess with taylor swift lyrics can't see symbolism when its literally explained play by play.

don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.

A practice is something you built, it’s very organic like an ecosystem of rituals, knowledge, words, material objects, ressources. Like the branches of a tree it sometimes dies and sometimes branches out, you builds more in one direction or choose to work more in another one. Even if you feel like you are stagnating in your practice, or you don’t know what direction to choose, you have to start somewhere. And with time you build your practice like the gardener maintains their garden.

how can i write when there is nothing but war in me and around me. how can i write ?how can i live? how can i breathe?… when people like me die as i type… how can i write cause when i look away i’m one legal step closer back to chattel slavery. how can i write when i know soon i cant marry the person i love? how can i write while people who look like me starve ? starving cause of the government. white lies listen to our cries and laugh with closed hearts and open palms. their palms open to push us out. they stole us. they stole the land. they stole us. sold us. beat us. ate us. used our bodies to make their antiques. they are still selling our bones and buying our brains. raped us. caused so much division in us. worked us to death and they still fucking do. how can i write when i cant even feel my legs at work. how can i write when i work until my body makes me rest? how can i write when i watch a baby missing half its brain shake in someone’s arms? how can i breathe? how can i laugh? how do i write when my people die for me to have convenience? i hate that my life is made off someone else’s suffering no matter what i do to reduce that. i’m just a being who feels so heavy. guilty american from the 14th but blacker than the Nyx in my soul. maybe i should befriend Eris to learn how to let my anger be. how do i remember how to feel happy without being under some influence? how do i find joy in so much anguish? my joy is a protest and a act of resistance and i’ve resisted so much all my life. i’m tired. we are so tired. too much snow where it shouldn’t be but oh look how pretty. snow on the bayou, it should really fucking worry you.

how can i? -mars

a reminder in these terrifying times:

be conscious that your actions do not only affect you. sometimes, but not for too long, it is okay to look away. drink water and find time to rest before your body makes you. call your representatives. read the banned books. be queer no matter how hard they want to erase you. your joy in these times is a protest and is very valuable to your soul. ignorance is not bliss when the laws could be about you next.

Your Altar, Your Rules🍄🖤

Altars are as unique as the witches who create them. They don’t have to look a certain way, follow a strict layout, or include specific items. Whether it’s a sprawling table, a tiny shelf, or even a spot on the ground, your altar is yours to design. You also don’t have to spend tons of money to build it.

Include what feels right for you—candles, crystals, photos, herbs, or even a favorite trinket. It’s a reflection of your craft, your energy, and your connection to the divine or natural world.

Let go of perfection and embrace what speaks to your soul. Your altar is personal, sacred, and beautiful—just like your practice. ✨🍂🪴 🕯️

[theevenusianwitch]

ive finally been able to access my supplies and create an altar again and it feels so good. over a year without my supplies taught me that while having a physical altar is wonderful and necessary, you are an altar yourself. the physical is here for routine and manifestation in the earthly realm. the way you commune with the world, your spiritual team, and yourself spiritually all change and can look vastly different when you take a break or are unable to access supplies. my time away taught me that prayer of any kind and just feeling the world hit you is also necessary for spiritual growth. you come back stronger and your team is there for you still as well. some blocks spiritually may still occur but divine intervention can mean sometimes mean a redirection is necessary as you grow in your practice. im sharing my current altar now as a reminder of the beauty in the physical and also how beautiful every altar looks.

Hoodoo, Rootwork and Conjure sources by Black Authors

Because you should only ever be learning your ancestral ways from kinfolk. Here's a compilation of some books, videos and podcast episodes I recommend reading and listening to, on customs, traditions, folk tales, songs, spirits and history. As always, use your own critical thinking and spiritual discernment when approaching these sources as with any others.

Hoodoo in America by Zora Neale Hurston (1931)

Mules and Men by Zora Neale Hurston (1936)

Tell my horse by Zora Neale Hurston (1938)

Let Nobody Turn Us Around: An African American Anthology by Manning Marable and Leith Mullings, editors (2003)

Black Magic: Religion and the African American Conjuring Tradition by Yvonne P. Chireau (2006)

African American Folk Healing by Stephanie Mitchem (2007)

Hoodoo Medicine: Gullah Herbal Remedies by Faith Mitchell (2011)

Mojo Workin': The Old African American Hoodoo System by Katrina Hazzard-Donald (2012)

Rootwork: Using the Folk Magick of Black America for Love, Money and Success by Tayannah Lee McQuillar (2012)

Talking to the Dead: Religion, Music, and Lived Memory among Gullah/Geechee Women by LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant (2014)

Working the Roots: Over 400 Years Of Traditional African American Healing by Michele Elizabeth Lee (2017)

Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" by Zora Neale Hurston (2018)

Jambalaya: The Natural Woman's Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals by Luisa Teish (2021)

African American Herbalism: A Practical Guide to Healing Plants and Folk Traditions by Lucretia VanDyke (2022)

These are just some suggestions but there's many many more!! This is by no means a complete list.

I recommend to avoid authors who downplay the importance of black history or straight out deny how blackness is central to hoodoo. The magic, power and ashé is in the culture and bloodline. You can't separate it from the people. I also recommend avoiding or at the very least taking with a huge grain of salt authors with ties to known appropriators and marketeers, and anyone who propagates revisionist history or rather denies historical facts and spreads harmful conspiracy theories. Sadly, that includes some black authors, particularly those who learnt from, and even praise, white appropriators undermining hoodoo and other african and african diasporic traditions. Be careful who you get your information from. Keeping things traditional means honoring real history and truth.

Let me also give you a last but very important reminder: the best teachings you'll ever get are going to come from the mouths of your own blood. Not a book or anything on the internet. They may choose to put certain people and things in your path to help you or point you in the right direction, but each lineage is different and you have to honor your own. Talk to your family members, to the Elders in your community, learn your genealogy, divine before moving forwards, talk to your dead, acknowledge your people and they'll acknowledge you and guide you to where you need to be.

May this be of service and may your ancestors and spirits bless you and yours 🕯️💀

Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety

Hello, I am Samar Shamiya, married to Hashem Al-Shawish (@hashemsh92) @hashemsh12 . I have a child born in the war, his name is Omar. He is 6 months old.

We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.

We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.

We are originally from the north of the Gaza Strip, but at the beginning of the war we were displaced several times without anything. Our house was completely destroyed and we are now homeless.

We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.

We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.

GoFundMe Campaign Link ♥️ :

best wishes:

Samar shamia

I want to make something really clear that I think Anti-Choice people have failed to understand that Pro Choicers definitely saw coming.

An exception for Rape, Life of the Mother, and Incest mean nothing when you have to prove it in a court of law, or get a team of lawyers and judges to sign off on it which can take weeks or even months.

Weeks a person dying hasn't got. Women are now dying. Actually dying. Because hospitals legally could not save their lives until they could wake up a judge and get their lawyers, and another sides lawyers awake and up and figured out if it was actually necessary or not. All people with no understanding of medicine, and no attatchment to the person suffering who simply doesn't want to die.

There's a lot more I could cover, like the increase in illegal abortion, abortion tourism, the massive increase in infant abandonment... but I'm going to leave it here.

People are dying. People who should be alive. Who would be alive if abortion was legal and the hospital could have simply treated their patient without waiting for a dozen men with no medical experience in another building to decide if their patient actually needs treatment or not. And yes they do have to wait. Because if they don't they get charged with murder for trying to save a life.

Your policies are killing people. Not theoretical people. Not fetuses with no conscious thought or pain. Adults with lives. Teenagers with a whole life ahead of them. Mothers with children who need them. Real people with conscious thought, with fear, with pain. People who meet every definition of personhood.
