You think “oh it would be useful to learn how to identify my thrifted yarn and clothing” and before you know it you’ve been recruited by fiber witches giving out their spells willy nilly, again

Hello! Any advice or suggestions for prayers or offerings to ask Lord Apollon for healing or temporary relief from pain? (ie period cramps, joint pain) have a wonderful day/night! <3

Hey there!! I hope you're doing okay <3 I totally understand needing some help with chronic pain and such. I have chronic migraines, and sometimes I pray to Apollon and give him offerings, as well!

For me, I do the offering part after the chronic pain goes away. When the pain hits, it's hard to move to be honest. So, most of the time, I'll pray and promise an offering later!

I've looked around a lot for any specific prayers to do with chronic pain, healing, etc, and I can't find like, anything. Sooo instead of giving you a real prayer, ima give you some tips!

1- The structure of a Greek prayer is invocation, argument, petition. The invocation part is basically calling out to the deity, using their name and any specific epithets/qualities you want to address. So for Apollon and healing, you'd use Apollon's epithets for his healing aspect. The argument is just justifying why the deity should help you. For example, "If I have ever offered you (example), set up an altar," and any other thing you've done for him. The petition is what you're asking for. Here is where you'd say, "Please help me with my joint pain," or something to do with healing.

2- For me, prayer is laid back. I use formal prayer a lot, don't get me wrong, but I also just talk to my deities. Apollon is completely fine if you just say- "Apollon, I need help. Please can you make this stop/go away?"

3- it's also totally okay to write down the prayer and read it! You don't have to memorize anything.

4- if you're in pain, you don't have to do the whole posture thing when praying. The gods understand, I promise :)

As for offerings, anything you usually give him is fine! Once you receive your answer from the prayer (hopefully the pain goes away!!!), you can give him anything from water to jewelry to crystals to whatever else. You can also do a devotional act in honor of him! It really does not matter what *kind* of offering it is, as long as it's an offering made with good intentions.

I hope this helps!! Take care of yourselves 🫶

January 27th, 2025 is the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. International Holocaust Remembrance Day. World Leaders have gathered in Poland to commemorate the end of that nightmare and share survivors' stories and remember that we want to keep that tragedy from ever happening again.

Do not forget, it has only been 80 years since this place was active. It stands today as a reminder of history that we should not forget. History that we must remember and do our best not to repeat. The number of survivors is dwindling, and soon there won't be anyone left alive who can share their stories with us.

https://www.auschwitz.org/en/home-page-80/

On this 80th Anniversary, go read a survivor's account. Look up stories about what happened there. You can find many of them located in various places on the internet. Just search for "holocaust survivor stories" and you'll find many museums and memorials as well as YouTube videos. In fact, there's a YouTube Channel!

While you're at it, go on and check out stories about the Japanese Internment Camps we had here in the US. George Takei has been vocal about his time in one as a child and even has a book about it; "They Called Us Enemy" published in 2019.

"It's so important that we understand what happened in the past, so that we can stand up to injustice today, and work together for a future where everyone is treated fairly, with liberty and justice for all." - George Takei

We must continue to remember history and learn from our mustakes and terrible decisions. Listening to the survivors of tragedy is important. Yes, this includes Palestine and Gaza. It keeps happening, and it's overwhelmingly sad.

We are all human beings. I will never understand how these things keep happening in front of our faces.

The Trump Administration is too busy trying to roll the entire country back about 200 years. Not that I personally believe for a second that Trump would ever go to the memorial himself at this point, he has nothing to lose snd has never suffered a single consequencefor his actions. He and his administration want us to forget about those horrible injustices we once swore were unforgivable. They want us to not call a salute a salute and not see where we're all headed. One simple thing you can do on this year's Remembrance Day is listen to a story, and learn a little history so it doesn't get lost to time. ♡

Have a wonderful day, wherever you may be. Stay as safe as you can and don't forget that you are not alone. It may feel like it, and it's an extremely scary time right now, but it's not just you. We're all in this together. We have to be. ♡

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

free museum trips are wasted on unappreciative middle schoolers. let me go

This is the wheelchair im trying to fund.

One of my disabilities now requires me to use a wheelchair and its been getting worse since.

My current wheelchair is a bog standard wheelchair, and although I love it, and how it enables me more freedom that i thought lost in 2022, its still the bog standard.

As it's not built around my disabilities, it's genuinely impacting them, making them worse, skyrocketing my already high levels of chronic pain.

I've been trying to save up to buy it, but its a struggle. I cant work because of my disabilities and chronic pain, sometimes i have to use that savings to get bus tickets to and from the hospital from my local bus station just to get my blood drawn.. (which is now at least 4 every year, 4 more than im comfortable with because needles..)

And honestly? 4 buses total just to get to the station and then the hospital is kinda pricey.. but it's my only option..

I don't remember the point of this post, as its almost 4.30am as im typing all this out. I guess what im asking is..

Im asking for your help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, big or small. Even just sharing it around..

Below is the link to donate, and i thank you so much for reading this long ass post. I am a very tired man, and im going back to sleep.

Thank you, sincerely.

Arpeegi.

(also here is this image of sonic in a wheelchair, because ye)

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

[enbeeanon]

Me: I have accepted my disabilities and myself as a disabled person! I can live the life I want within my new parameters!

Also me, two days later: actually, I think I am just faking and those limits I accepted are bullshit and i should just live like other people. i do not need to pace myself or use my mobility aids or other accommodations.

I'm so glad to hear that this post helped! I completely understand the difficulty of parting with books. Since then, I've been trying to borrow from the library more, and then only buy a copy for myself if I love the book and want to be able to reread it from my own copy if that makes sense. That systems worked pretty well to keep my numbers down.

I'm a bit of a book hoarder, as reading is one of my favourite hobbies, but today I did a big thing!!! I gave away/ donated over 200 books (I think- I'm not counting). I had a full bookshelf and 4 piles that were as tall as my waist, PLUS some stashed under my bed. Now I've reduced it to just the bookshelf. It's time to let other people experience the joy that I felt.
