you like 2 or 3 songs by a band and never listened to more? that’s perfectly okay

you like the Marvel movies but have no interest in reading 50 years of comic books? totally fine

you only play one or two videos games, mostly on your cell phone? they’re fun!

you read and enjoyed the Harry Potter books but don’t care about looking into crazy theories and clues planted in the stories? It’s not for everyone!

- The picture test: If you can’t tell if something is a hallucination or not, take a photo! If it shows up in the picture then you have a keepsake of that crazy creepy Halloween decoration. If not it’s a hallucination (or a vampire. No, i’m kidding it’s a hallucination.)

- Is some kid in mask causing paranoia? Ask them where they got their costume. Did they make it? How did they get the idea? Focusing on the person inside of the costume will help you remember that it’s just a person!

- Avoid haunted houses, haunted hayrides, ect. Actors will not stop scaring unless it’s an emergency, and I’ve yet to find a place that teaches actors how to deal with anything other than physical injuries. (I once met a haunted house actor who said causing a panic attack meant he was “doing his job right.”)

- There’s no shame in asking friends and relatives to avoid sending jump scare videos or anything else that could cause paranoia.

- Here are some tips on how to tell if a video is a screamer.

- (from freeasthepaperburns) Boggart it! If something is making you upset, make it silly. dance with the shadows, sing to the creepies, I bet if make a fish face at the scary face it’ll be a little less scary. I know this is harder than it sounds, but I’ve gotten better at it over the time, and find it helps!

Sorry to break in with this on a very much Sherlock-only kind of blog- I promise not to make a regular thing of this, but this is something that’s happened TWICE now. 

This is Beyli. He’s a two-month old foal and he’s adorable. He belongs to a friend of the family. 

So adorable, in fact, that a member of the public spent a nice afternoon feeding him. You feed the ducks and that’s ok. right? It’s a nice thing to do. 

They fed him turnip. He choked and gave himself a stomachache as a result.

The problem is that horses can’t really burp and horses can’t vomit. Their digestive systems are fine-tuned and when they go wrong, they go really wrong. Colic in horses is difficult to treat and in Beyli’s case, like many others, proved to be insurmountable. With pain medicine not working, after 4 hours of doing their best with no improvement, the vet called time on his suffering rather than let him go on to a very slow and painful end. 

A horse needlessly suffered and died because someone fed him the wrong thing. They weren’t necessarily malicious, they were just hugely ignorant. And worse, they were hugely entitled. There were already signs asking people not to feed the animals. As I said, this has now happened TWICE to the same family, and they’re by no means alone. 

PLEASE Don’t feed horses that don’t belong to you. 

Horses can have disorders, diabetes, allergies and dietry requirements and you have NO IDEA if what you’re giving them is acceptable or not. Even ‘safe’ things like carrot and apple could be ‘wrong’ for this particular horse. Grass clippings? Not okay. Grain? Not okay for a horse that hasn’t been regularly eating it. 

Don’t assume. i have seen walkers pull up random plants and offer them over the fence INCLUDING TOXIC, DEADLY weeds like ragwort. I’ve seen horses offered dog-biscuits and bread. I’ve heard of horses being regularly fed by strangers thinking they were being under-fed, when the horse in question was on a vet-given diet to control weight and other conditions. 

Don’t feed horses that don’t belong to you even little treats and things like sugar cubes because it gives them bad manners. They start biting and harassing people. It’s bad for their teeth and too much sugar is terrible for them.

In some places if the owner has liability insurance, if you can be identified, YOU will be legally responsible for the vet’s bills. And if you’re thinking ‘well, they’d never identify me’, then that’s besides the point. 

Please. You wouldn’t feed someone’s dog without asking, I hope. You definitely wouldn’t feed someone else’s child. 

TL;DR: Don’t feed other people’s horses. You can make them SERIOUSLY ill. Treat animals in fields like animals at the zoo: you’re welcome to look, but don’t meddle with their care. 

the US minimum wage that we all agree is too low to live on ($15,080/yr) is far more than many legally disabled people receive in benefits

the maximum SSI for a single person is $8,796/yr if a disabled person marries another, each drops to a max of $6,600/yr

Plus, “marriage equality” is still a huge problem for disabled people (as you can see), which is something almost everyone is ignorant to/doesn’t care about. 

Mobility aids are expensive. Medications and supplements are expensive. Special diets to accommodate illnesses are expensive. Avoiding a long list of allergies is expensive. Wheelchair accessible home and car modifications are expensive. Hiring someone to do all your cleaning and laundry because you can’t is expensive.

Massive protests stop Poland from banning abortion

Lawmakers in Poland voted overwhelmingly Thursday against a controversial abortion ban. Though members of the conservative ruling party, Law and Justice, originally supported the proposal, the parliament reportedly voted 352-58 to reject the ban. Poland still has some of the strictest abortion laws and only permits abortions under 3 circumstances

For those of you who don’t follow my blog or know me, hello my name is Violet, and I am a Muscogee Creek Native.

//What is Smudging?// •Smudging is a ceremonial and traditional Native American cleansing ritual. Traditionally white sage, cedar, Sweetgrass and lavender can be used. Smudging is done to prepare a space or a person for a spiritual ritual or ceremony, or the arrival of spiritual leaders and elders into a sacred space. The burning of herbs is often accompanied by chanting, singing, fervent prayer and sometimes musical instruments. The particular herbs and techniques will vary from tribe to tribe and clan to clan, which is why the method is often past down from family members.

//How can I smudge?// •Unless you are Native and have been taught by family/clan/tribe members, you cannot smudge. Native religions and cultures are closed to outsiders/non-natives.

//But other cultures smudging!!!??// •Actually, they use smoke cleansing. Smoke cleansing is the burning of purifying herbs to cleanse an area. Many cultures all over the world smoke cleanse, and have their own techniques and specific herbs they prefer. However, smudging is a term that refers specifically to the religious ritual in nearly all ndn tribal cultures. Because of centuries of having our cultures ripped from us and beaten out of us, we have lost our original terms for many rituals and important spiritual aspects of our cultures. So we are reclaiming the English words used for them, much like the terms ‘two spirit’ and ‘spirit animals’. .

//Beliefs and Religion// •In the religion of the Muscogee people, we believe in an all encompassing energy. People and objects have this energy. Plants and animals have this energy. It is an ever shifting, ever balancing spirit that lives within us all and is mastered by Epohfvnkv. Our word for this energy is Puyvfekcv, the fire within. This is where Medicine comes from, this is where we feel the Vnokeckv, the deep love that connects all peoples, all creatures, and all that exist.

•However, personal energies can often become polluted by bad words, bad thoughts and bad actions. So too can objects and places. They become Porrv, bad spirits. Evil medicine.

•This is where Smudging comes in. This practice is one of many methods, usually accompanied by days of fasting, drinking a medicine to clean the bowels, sitting in the sweat lodge and then jumping in the river to clean the blood and the words, and smudging to clean the energy field, to cleanse a person of Bad Medicine or to prepare them for Postetv (Green Corn Ceremony) or a Opvnkvhaco (vision quest).

•Cleansing is to purify all aspects of life, the Ena (body), Feke (heart), Ekvlpa (mind), Cate (blood, life force) and Puyvfekcv (fire within). This way balance and harmony can be sought. •Imbalance of any of these things can disrupt energy and cause mental, emotional, spiritual and physical sickness and disease.

•My people traditionally will carry or use Svpryv (medicine crystals), Tvstvnvkvlkoce (medicine herbs or ‘herbal warriors’) in Medicine bags to prevent imbalance and sickness and to promote good luck and well being.

•Smudging is the combination of calling on the spirits of the Tvstvnvkvlkoce (medicine herbs) Puyvfekcv (fire within), Hesaketvmese (giver and master of breath), Pucasv (taker and balancer of energy and fire), and Ekvnvvcakv (Holy Mother Earth) to purify a space or person. It is a very spiritual and involved practice.

I have shared all this information merely to inform and would like to remind everyone that the Muscogee religion a is closed religion, and that our beliefs are different from other tribes.
