Mostly Optimistic

For centuries, people of all walks of life have turned to tarot to divine what may lay ahead and reach a higher level of self-understanding.

The cards’ enigmatic symbols have become culturally ingrained in music, art and film, but the woman who inked and painted the illustrations of the most widely used set of cards today – the Rider-Waite deck from 1909, originally published by Rider & Co. – fell into obscurity, overshadowed by the man who commissioned her, Arthur Edward Waite.

Now, over 70 years after her death, the creator Pamela Colman Smith has been included in a new exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York highlighting many underappreciated artists of early 20th-century American modernism in addition to famous names like Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Nevelson.

A microwave is a reliable machine. As a machine it simply performs its function, and that's that. At worst the food won't be hot enough, so you just put it in a little longer.

All you do is tell the machine how long and how intensely to heat the food, and it does it.

You just press a button, and walk away. You wait, completly unbothered.

No one has anxiety about turning their back on their microwave. No one wonders what they should do to make sure their microwave actually works in the meantime. When you hit that START button, you don't bite your nails waiting to see IF the countdown finishes all the way.

You walk off, do other things, or just patiently wait. You have 0 concern!

You don't think 'what do I do to help the microwave heat?' 'If I look away to get a plate, will it stop?' You don't count down in your head either, because you trust it to do its job.

This is how you should address ALL manifestation, SP or not. You make up your mind, hit the button, and go about your life knowing that it's going to get done. If it dings-- and the manifestation seems to show up in your life--- but the food is still cold, i.e. it's not actually what you want, you don't think 'oh no I'm a failure my food will never get done now!'. You just assume it needs more time, close the door, press buttons again, and go back about your business.

This is exactly how unbothered and patiently expectant you should be about your manifestation.

Women have autonomy.

Women have the right to choose.

Women have the right to vote if they've had an abortion.

If you disagree, come into my inbox to argue me.

I FUCKING DARE YOU.

COME ON YOU FUCKING LOSER.

COME ON.

FUCKING TRY TO CHALLENGE ME.
