The fact that 17 year olds in America read the manifesto and think that the government would ever consider them a threat is one of the funniest things about the 2020s.

You will always have as much influence on society as a just stop oil protestor.

You can tell The Craft was written by men by how Sarah was almost raped by Chris and then Nancy kills him, and for some reason Sarah is upset with her about that??? Bitch if that were me we'd be bffs for life. I'd get her name tattoo'd on my back.

Disney needs to knock off the discourse to get people in the theater bullshit and make the main character of the next Pirates movie based on Zheng Yi Sao. The world could use another Asian action movie star. No one would take issue, in fact, it would be incredible. One of the most successful pirates to ever live??? Based on a real woman of color who proved herself???? On the big screen??????? Holy shit yes.

Dear fellow pagans:

Take your Greek mythology with a grain of salt.

The ancient Greek writers were horribly misogynistic, and they never missed an opportunity to make the Goddess or woman out to be evil or sneaky. Note anything by Hesiod alone. They even turned Gaia, the literal earth and mother of creation itself, into a cruel and rebellious bitch. Athena punished a rape victim and then aided her assailants for fun. Aphrodite was vain and selfish. The entire story of Persephone.

Hera. Just...Hera.

I'm not saying ignore the past, what I'm saying is if you want to work with these Goddesses, you don't have to stick to the ancient script created by men who hated them. You can, in fact, modernize and worship in how you connect personally. Religion should be about having fun.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! A day to remember, or just learn, that the holiday believe it or not does not exist to 'celebrate the slaughter of indigenous people' but a day started by a woman who petitioned president after president, and then Lincoln, to create a holiday for...yep...family, friends, food, and love.

“[Though] the members of the same family might be too far separated to meet around one festive board, they would have the gratification of knowing that all were enjoying the feast. From the St. Johns to the Rio Grande, from the Atlantic to the Pacific border, the telegraph of human happiness would move every heart to gladness simultaneously.”
