Wishing you a happy solstice (winter or summer, as the case may be). Unless you're a flat earther, in which case, Happy Inexplicable Phenomenon!

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

Men will write things like this and then insist that misogyny isn't real and that women are privileged

Men write things like this and then turn around and claim that they’re the rational ones

"feminism will never be taken seriously because I am jerking off to the mouth of scarjo as she tells me I need to respect women" this is exactly why feminism should be focused solely on women and girls and ways to improve their lives, instead of on trying to make men listen

I truly believe being able to name the world around you is integral to animism. learn the names of plants and flowers. learn how the rocks and soil you walk over daily form. sit with the streams and rivers, learn where they flow to and from. learn the names others have given, and give them your own as well. animism is interconnectedness, and one simple step is learning the names of your neighbors

"that is a plant and it matters to me, i want to learn about it because plant business is my business" - genuinely a life changing quote from Simon Barnes. His books aren't spiritual or talk about animism really directly but they talk about making it so nature matters to you. And are fillrd with practical tips on how to start with botany or bird watching or really any hobby in which you're observing nature. which can seem overwhelming there's so much to see and experence in nature. His books make it seem manageable and give great jumping off points. I recommend rewild yourself and how to be a bad botanist!

Excuse me, but some of us got into witchcraft because we wanted to set shit on fire.

Set on fire and drown in the river, the duality of witchkind 💅

YES 👏

But... but what about burying stuff in the dirt? 🥺

Some of us got into witchcraft because we like to whistle up storms 😘

Always be hope-pilled. Things are fucking rough. Many of us have experienced horrors that are almost unspeakable. But still there is good in the world. Females from all walks of life organize, look after one another, and advocate for one another. We are beating men in educational attainment, birth rates are going down, more resources exist for domestic violence and rape. And there is pushback to all of this! But we need to push back harder and continue to support and look after one another rather than allow ourselves to fall into despair. I believe in us.

Never limit yourself. You don’t have to choose between STEM and the arts. You don’t have to choose between that aesthetic or the other. Just let yourself be the most authentic self you can be, embrace all the different aspects of your personality, your interests, and your skills.
