Just read an article that used the abbreviation ‘msm’ for ‘men who have sex with men’ and I think it’s something we could really utilise within the aromantic and aspec communities.

eg) XLX - loving

wlw/ mlm/ nblw/ nblm/ nblnb/ wlm etc.

eg) XSX - having sex

wsw/ msm/ nbsm/ nbsw/ nbsnb/ wsm etc.

eg) XRX - in a relationship (you can define this however you want: romantic, sexual, neither, both, queerplatonic, other, unlabelled etc)

wrw/ mrm/ nbrm/ nbrw/ nbrnb/ wrm etc.

like this could be such a useful tool for easily differentiating experiences within informational communication!!

I'm gonna share my opinion and this is just MY OPINION, if you don't like it you're free to leave this blog.

The second diagram, accurately the space that men and non binary circles stand for non binary man (demi boy, paraboy, ariboy, boyflux, etc), in other words, non binary people that are also men. So here goes it: the non men word is not enbyphobic since it counts non binary man as man because they're man besides being non binary. That word doesn't count multigender people as male aligned because they got some other genders or even fluctuate between them and it's not just partially man and partially non binary, one is liaspec and the other one is miaspec, it's not the same. Non men stands for male aligned people as well as non woman stands for female aligned people (like me, for example) so no, it's not enbyphobic.

I could make a 3k-word manifesto on how the word “non-man” is enbyphobic horseshit, and I don’t think it could possibly be as succinct and easy-to-understand as this image. Take notes

In Praise of Apollo💛

O Apollo, eternal light in the clear sky, You reveal truth to those who call on You with honest hearts.

With Your golden bow, You pass through the dark and show mortals Your light.

Divine prophet, Your voice echoes in Delphi, unfolding what time keeps hidden.

Each word You speak stays with us, deeper than any dream or thought.

From smoking tripods, You begin to rise, and those who come to You with pure intent receive the light that guides their path.

O wise Phoebus, who opens the hearts of humankind, grant us, in times of uncertainty, the way toward brighter days.

Help us in these times of war, help us to pass through the illnesses that are ruining the world, and let us praise with Your music and chants, about how grant You are.

Diallo: A person who is both allosexual and alloromantic, but has different sexual and romantic orientations. For example, a person who is bisexual and heteroromantic is diallo.

The flag colours have been taken from the aroallo and alloace flags respectfully meaning the red stripes romantic attraction and the yellow ones sexual attraction. The white stripe in the middle means all the possible combinations between sexual and romantic orientation and the fact there're two different colours (red and yellow) means sexual and romantic orientation are different.

The prex di- comes from latin, which means two and allo comes from allosexual and alloromantic, meaning there is sexual orientation on the one hand and romantic orientation on the other hand.

A night prayer to goddess Artemis

Oh, Lady Artemis, goddess of the moon, please hear my prayers

I have come to you for your protection throughout the night

May you guide me throughout the forests and nature when I'm sleeping

Watch over my vulnerable spirit and guide it throughout the moonlight

Lady Artemis, goddess of haunt, please hear my prayers

Please, protect my spirit tonight, and when the moon comes down and the sun comes out you may leave

Ariboy

Arienby/arinonbinary

🍓 🌙 Strawberry Moon altar 🌙 🍓

I've been using the Celtic Goddesses Oracle by Danu Forest, pulling a new card each day to feature one of the Ladies in my sacred space, alongside my patron the Magdalene, Mother Sophia and Dark Mother Barbelo. The athame holder with the little goddess statue is also there to represent the Sovereignty Goddess archetype or Lady of the Lake.

Today, Lady Cerridwen honored me with Her presence for the Strawberry Moon. I'm also grateful she came today as I had to put my beloved dog Bob to sleep. He went peacefully and surrounded by family and cuddles. I prayed to my Lords, Cernunnos and Gwyn app Nudd. Papa Cernunnos to ensure my boy's easy passing and safety, and King Gwyn to guide his spirit to the otherworld and reunite with my granddad who owned him first.

Lady Cerridwen teaches us the necessity of death to ensure transformation into something radient. I feel She guided me to remember one of my favorite quotes from the Clear Recital.

"Let flow your tears, my children, for they are the beginning of joy."

- Temple of the Heart (v. 18)
