Hey gang, for those of you who reached out wanting to know more about the Scottish historian who did the deep dive into how Scottish identity got co-opted by the KKK and why a lot of things like “Scottish Pride” days are actually racist rallies in the USA, the name of the full documentary is “Who Put The Klan Into Ku Klux Klan” with Neil Oliver.

If you’ve got Amazon Prime it’s available on Prime Video. It’s also available to rent on YT for what looks like $1.99, though I am sure those of you who are more resourceful than I am might be able to find it elsewhere for the low low price of free.

Fair warning, it does deal with the events of the Charleston church shooting, and Neil also talks with some members of the church which is quite an emotional and heartbreaking moment. It also contains imagery featuring the KKK which can be disturbing. There is absolutely zero glorification of the Klan or anyone associated with them, past or present and any sort of “oh but the Scots had it rough coming here too” gets absolultey fucked right out the water as being absolutely abhorrent and despicable. It is depicted as the vile and evil blight against humanity that it is, and Oliver makes no attempt to hide his horror, rage and dismay when dealing with certain interviewees, though he does remain comendably calm and doesn’t just haul off and punch the guy, even when you can tell he really wants to.

So yeah. There’s some links and details for y’all.

My most recent post about joining the blackout and supporting #amplifymelanatedvoices was well intentioned, but misguided. ⁣

Instead of doing a blackout on social media, I will be only posting things related to the protests, POC voices and experiences, police brutality, and reform until further notice. ⁣

Not sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. We SHOULD be uncomfortable right now. We should’ve been uncomfortable the whole time.⁣⁣

Your medication doesn’t make you less witchy/spiritual/psychic/magical

-Your medication doesn’t make your work less potent.

-Your medication is part of your self care and self care is apart of your spiritual journey.

-Your self care is apart of a good & healthy praxis.

-Mental instability is not a sign of more “potent magic”.

-Harming your body by not taking your meds, not following medical advise, etc. does not make you a more hardcore practitioner, a more devoted devotee, or a stronger witch.

Thank u for coming to my ted talk.
