I can’t be the only one who wanted to see this spinoff.

[witchescollection]

one of the biggest questions i feel folks on tumblr are always trying to answer is "how do i be better? how do i get to the next level of witchcraft? how do i access advanced stuff?" and the thing is, babes, is that that shit isn't external.

you become an "advanced witch" when you stop categorising topics as beginner or intermediate or advanced! there are no rules.

a lot of people make an effort to warn so-called "baby witches" away from different types of magick - "don't do love magick or hexing ever! don't contact X deity until you've been practicing for a year! you have to have been practicing for at least a month to do a spell!" - why? what does that achieve, apart from perpetuating fear mongering and policing others religion?

it comes from this idea that there's a right way to practice, and more importantly, that if you fuck something up then that's sacrilege. if you give a deity the wrong offering they'll be angry with you (and that's the end of that relationship). if you do a love spell without considering the effects then you'll do irreparable damage and be shamed!! you must follow these ideas, that crystals and tarot and candles (conveniently all the things that require you to spend money) are "beginner-friendly" and everything that our ancestors would have done is too advanced for you.

whatever experience you're on is personal to you. no-one knows more than you about your practice than you. if you wanna do a hex, some post on tumblr shouldn't going to stop you. if you fuck it up, you'll learn!

and frankly, witchblr would be a better place if we stopped looking at everything as a strict guide to follow, and as a place where we all share what our practice looks like, and approach each other with curiosity instead of pride and superiority.

[susansontag]

watching the chomsky/foucault debate between working and foucault is such a weird man. so bizarrely resistant to answering any questions about himself

[imflyingfish]

Worst thing ever (asking a discord mod something while feeling so annoying for it)

you remember the presentation group I've been complaining about?

the presentation is tomorrow at like 10am (aka in 12h). these people still haven't finished their parts of the handout. L suggested we meet half an hour before the course starts tomorrow to still go over it all and has decided that's also early enough to actually upload the handout. our slides are a haphazard, not at all uniform, incoherent mess and I had to push around one of mine bc Z for some inexplicable reason inserted her part after my overview slide. R's part for some reason has nothing but quotes, half of which are from books from a publisher specialised on dictionaries. this is a gender studies course. i am going to do unspeakable things to all of them

Should I also make a sideblog for my less art related ramblings/headcanon/theory posts/drabbles and fics etc...I am deeply tempted tbh the brainrot is of a magnitude that needs multiple outlets.

my adaptive jansport bags are here :’)

[tastyflowers]

so today I kinda just... fell in to facilitating a community meeting about gender. like I had proposed the meeting and had ideas of how to hold the space and then it actually just happened that way. and everyone was so respectful and thoughtful and at some points quite vulnerable. and now the community has found next steps on how to be better. and they thanked me for it. what the fuck

male coworker who i was vaguely nice to at the work christmas party has not stopped harassing me online and has now moved on to stalking me so that he is able to find & harass my flatmates online as well. i don’t want to go for a drink with him but he will not. go. away. and i can’t just block him because he’s above me at work. “nice guy”, yeah? no.

[hoyatype]

in a particular mood where i’m deeply deeply deeply appreciative of some people; deeply misanthropically annoyed by others…

perhaps it’s bc i’m in a state of refining and sharpening my values (not a passive exercise but an active one: i am trying to orient my entire life around those values, very seriously and strictly)…and it feels more intolerable than normal to encounter people who do not have those values i’m trying so hard to instill within myself!

like people who are funny all the time but not sincere about anything…people who would rather avoid difficulty instead of running headlong into it, believing that there’s something better after…people who do not spend all their time thinking about how they could intellectually and creatively push themselves further…people who will let themselves succumb to their mental distortions instead of challenging them and working thru them…

as per usual, the things we judge most in others are the things we want to change within ourselves. or have just started to change but the change doesn’t feel settled yet.

i think when i’m more secure about balancing my mental health and day job and creative aspirations and family responsibilities i’ll feel much more capable of engaging socially with certain people. but atm i viscerally cannot stand it. so. muting some groupchats for a little bit…i need the peace and quiet to keep on writing and trying…
