i think we should talk about degendering more as a very real form of transphobia. you should not be calling a trans woman "they" when she's explained her pronouns to you. you should not be calling her a "person" instead of a woman. she's not too gnc, she's not too androgynous, you're not "confused" about her identity, you're degendering her. I fear we've gotten to a point we've forgotten the very basics of this movement is "trans women are women" and "trans men are men", and not just "trans people are someone who's pronouns you have to memorize so you don't offend them." you see her as a man in a dress and it pisses me off

Hi there! Do you know of any resources for getting back into the swing of witchcraft after a long lapse in practicing? Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Plenty! I've talked about this on several occasions, so I'll link the posts below. There are lots of posts for rediscovering your inspiration or restarting your practice under the tag "battling the slump" on my blog as well, if you want to scroll a bit.

If you're resuming your witchcraft practice after an extended hiatus, you can't expect to get it all back right away.

It's like an athlete having taken a long time off from training. Returning to their sport, they're not going to be training for a marathon on day one.

Start small, even if you're restarting, even if you've been a witch for many years. You don't have to do everything from scratch on ground zero, but it's going to take time to get your mojo back, to return to the swings and rebuild a routine, to get used to the ebbs and flows of things again.

Be patient and gentle with yourself. There's no rush. Your magic is still here for you. You just have to gradually build up your stamina and get back into shape, the muscle memory will return.

Progress, not perfection. Tiny steps will grow into bigger ones. It will come back to you and it will be as if you never left.

I hope we all make it

a lot can happen in a year, a month, a week, a day. don’t get too caught up on things not changing fast enough.

if you can and want to, go to college when you’re 30. move out at 40. learn to drive at 50. life is short but it is also so long. it’s not too late to do new things.

also, deer are simultaneously satan’s weakest and strongest soldiers. they die like hamsters or survive things that really should have killed them. biting the dust from an internal hemorrhage after jumping over a fence or surviving 10+ years with an arrow imbedded in their side. fate rolls the dice on every injury and they either get a 0 or a 20. keeping them alive is hard. killing them is also hard.
