Anyway here’s my opinion of the day:

If you only study witchcraft, you’re not going to be the best witch you can be. If you’re going to use herbs, study botany. If you’re going to use meditation and mindfulness, study theraputic methods like DBT and CBT. If you’re going to use astrology, study astronomy. If you’re going to use cooking and baking and drinking, study gastronomy and mixology. If you’re going to use crystals, study geology. If you’re involving paganism that has its roots in a particular time and place, study their histories and cultures. If you’re a technowitch, study computer science.

Science and magic aren’t opposing one another, they work hand in hand. Only by truly understanding the world around you can you utilise it to the best of your abilities. There gets to a point where cutesy little affiliation lists and emoji spells on Tumblr isn’t going to help you any more.

Okay Bernie stans.

I need you all to prepare yourselves to vote for Biden in November.  

I’m not happy about it either.  I wanted Elizabeth Warren to destroy Trump on the debate floor.  I wanted to watch her shatter the glass ceiling.  I wanted student loan forgiveness, Medicare for All, and refugee and immigrant protections.

But I’m not going to get that.  So I am going all in for Biden.

This can no longer be a matter of “well if I don’t get my way THEN I’M NOT VOTING”.  I’d hoped you all learned your lessons four years ago, but from what I’ve seen on social media, that’s not been the case.  Biden is not ideal but he is better than the alternative.  He is a Democrat who will continue Obama’s legacy.  And you have a shot in hell of getting progressive movements like Medicare for All under a blue majority Congress; we do not have that under Trump.  

Biden is more willing to listen to the progressive factions of the Democrat party than Trump is.  We will get shit done under him.    

We cannot survive a second term of Trump.  I need you all to hold your noses, put on your big girl pants, and deal with it.  Prepare to vote for Biden.

Also, I’ve reviewed most of his plans and they are good.  No, they are not as good as Warren’s plans.  But he commits to LGBTQ+ protections, repealing the transgender in the military ban, and his refugee/immigration protections are way better than I expected (he actually has some culpability to the deportations under the Obama administration).

He is a good choice, guys.  Maybe not the best.  But he will get us to where we need to be and is a fucking return to SANITY in the government, which we badly fucking need.

Two, TWO Supreme Court justices are on the table for the next president, plus all the other federal judges McConnell has been stacking benches with the past three years. That’s Roe v. Wade, and a whole lot else, for the foreseeable future. 

The reality is that we live in a two party system and while I do not want Biden, I am capable of recognizing nuance and shades of gray. If it comes down to Biden, as it very likely may he will not do as much damage as four more years of Trump, and that is an ethical imperative. 

This is also why we all MUST vote down-ticket as well. 

Biden’s win allows RBG and Stephen Breyer to retire.

Think about that. 

Not voting isn’t a protest. It’s a surrender. If we want change, real change, then we have to drag our country to the left. One. Election. At. A time. It’s not an all-or-nothing scenario. So if it comes down to it, vote for Biden. Get on the bus headed away from fascism and the alt-right. If that bus isn’t heading directly to where we want to go, then we ride it until we have a chance to get on a different bus. Not voting is NOT an option.

I think this is all the more important to emphasize in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder. Here’s Biden attending a protest in Wilmington, DE over the weekend and meeting with black church leaders to discuss responses to the protests

And here’s the White House going dark after protests breakout in front

register to vote, educate yourself, then turn in your fucking ballots like your life depends on it

hymnstothetheoi:

“Apollon held a silver bow lithely between his hands. The moon flecked its shining pallor upon him, A delicate and inverted shadow. Like dew upon his brow, Stars glinted from above, kissing his pure flesh. A wolf howled, sweeping past him, A plush swish of spark'ling hide. His messenger struck a spot beside him, Alert with shimmering eyes. Apollon knocked an arrow, the blue tint of his surroundings humming inside him, And drew back his steel arm. A sudden shriek pierced the air, Piercer the hide, Of a single beast. The world continued running, Apollon drew closer and looked down upon his prey. A wisp of smoke crossed his eyes, And the silver Apollon left the sacred spot to be discovered in years to come.”
