Jake has a cold and is laying on the couch binge watching first responder soap operas when Bradley gets home from work.

“That could be us.” He points to the tv, his speech a little slurred from the cough medicine.

“What could be us sweetheart?” Bradley takes off his shoes and presses a kiss to Jake’s forehead. Only his head is visible from the mounds of blankets on the couch.

“These two. Hot cop falls for a hot firefighter.” Bradley sits down on the couch and lets Jake rest on his lap.

“Who is who?” Bradley smiles, running his hand through Jake’s hair.

“I’ma cop. You’re the firefighter.” Jake yawns and his eyes start to close. “Rivals. We fall in love anyway.” Bradley presses another kiss on Jake’s head.

“Sounds about right.”

can you recommend some accounts to learn more about witchcraft? like the basics but also some more intermediate stuff? thank you:))

To be completely honest, I know more page Names on IG than on here, usually on here I search hashtags of what I'm looking for and find what fits for me, but I didn't want to just leave this question to rot/ignore it, so I'm hoping by posting it that my followers will add onto it with different pages they find helpful. Let this be a kind of archive, maybe? lol 🤔🤷‍♀️

I apologize for not really giving an answer, I also think that if this wasn't a side blog it would probably be easier for me to find a cohesive list of ppl that I follow for this specific interest but tumblr meshes everything together sadly...

Again, My hope is that people can reblog and comment to add pages they think will fit your request and Ill keep it under the "witchy pages archive" and "page archives" tags, Blessed Be 🙌🏼🕯🌿🗝✨️🌙

So I'm a writer, who happens to be white who wants to write poc main characters without using food to describe their skintones. I noticed alabaster, porcelain, & pearl are white descriptors for skintones, and was wondering if anyone had any similar suggestions for describing poc skintones. We should all collaborate & make a list. Might I suggest amber, topaz, cognac, umber, sienna, ochre, mahogany. Please add more!

By masculine and feminine arent you talking about an abstraction? What you're not talking about is a 'gender'duality. In a manner of speaking by masculine and feminine are you talking about the psychic energies we call traits, that is grouped into a duality. If so would the problem consist of this duality in conflict that sustained a psychological system that is built of layers of duality beliefs and biases. This system not only wastes life energy but it keeps a person focused on things that may feel important but are distracting from what is real and essential?

Beautiful human, thank you!!!

Masculine and feminine aren’t accurate terms for the depth of what we’re talking about here. We use them as means of describing the points on poles vibrating in everything.

Basic Hebrew I find important here- Tohu wa’Bohu (form and void in basic English terms) It’s unlimited potential collapsed into what we’d call reality. (Observer effect right)

We take something away from the depth by putting it in terms of gender. Sprinkle in our modern concept of gender and this mass understanding that life is non-binary and we begin to see the depth of it all. No mystic had ever said we are binary because duality is the lie. The either/or mentality is the flaw. Hot and cold are just varying degrees of the same concept. The most rudimentary occult texts like The Kybalion teach this but the concept goes a lot further back than the early 1900’s.

The social construct lies in our separation of the poles via language. Do dark and light describe the nature of the sky? Of course not! They’re terms we use to intellectualize our experience of passing phases. We divide by religious ideologies but the fact of the matter remains…

“What we know is a drop. What we don’t know is an ocean.”

(Quoting obscure German sci-fi shows may be my only actual explanation because we don’t know beyond our experience!)

Here’s hoping open dialogue helps people understand the depth in belief.

(*all these links and more now in this rentry page. will no longer be updating this post, instead refer to the rentry page)

Last updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. Wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. Donating to international orgs is not ideal rn as aid is still being stopped at the border. Please focus on Palestinian-run initiatives on the ground in Gaza.

Remember, small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

helpful sites for writers

i have a little collection of websites i tend to use for coming up with ideas, naming people or places, keeping clear visuals or logistics, writing basics about places i've never been to, and so on. i tend to do a lot of research, but sometimes you just need quick references, right? so i thought i'd share some of them!

Behind the Name; good for name meanings but also just random name ideas, regardless of meanings.

Fantasy Name Generator; this link goes to the town name generator, which i use most, but there are lots of silly/fun/good inspo generators on there!

Age Calculator; for remembering how old characters are in Y month in Z year. i use this constantly.

Height Comparison; i love this for the height visuals; does character A come up to character B's shoulder? are they a head taller? what does that look like, height-wise? the chart feature is great!

Child Development Guide; what can a (neurotypical, average) 5-year-old do at that age? this is a super handy quickguide for that, with the obviously huge caveat that children develop at different paces and this is not comprehensive or accurate for every child ever. i like it as a starting point, though!

Weather Spark; good for average temperatures and weather checking!

Green's Dictionary of Slang; good for looking up "would x say this?" or "what does this phrase mean in this context?" i love the timeline because it shows when the phrase was historically in use. this is english only, though; i dig a little harder for resources like this in other languages.

Fascinated by this phenomenon

[familyabolisher]

btw most universities to my knowledge keep their reading lists behind access barriers (ie. only students enrolled at the institution on the course in question can see them) so i thought i’d just let you all know that durham university has all of its reading lists available online for free without needing student access. do with this information what you will.
