You passed the test

not voting isn’t refusing to play the game. You’re in this country, you’re subject to the game whether you like it or not. The only way not to play is to leave, and the vast majority of us don’t have that option.

Not voting is playing the game but saying ‘pass’ every time your turn comes up and then wondering why you lost.

Making young people not vote is actually a tactic used in politics to keep the satus quo. The young vote is always the one for change, so dissuading them from voting at all is actually a political tactic used by the people in charge to keep themselves there. Voting is rebellion.

What do we say to people who say “gradually pushing our agenda forward via the electoral system won’t work for the far left”?

We say “it sure worked for the far right”

I was not ready for this today…This is too much cuteness. I just..I can’t even..

you really need to hit play you just really do

I’m watching Kitchen Nightmares and I realized I’m basically Gordon Ramsey when I’m in someone’s space and they’re complaining about bad energy, like

“When was the last time these crystals were charged?”

“Do you not cleanse your space? Look at all this spiritual build up! Don’t you dare tell me you cleansed this!”

“Malachite next to carnelian? No wonder you can’t sleep and you’re eating everything you noodle!”

you’ll kill someone

This is amazing. Mind if I add one?

If I hear one more white light witch suggest this over pills I swear to god!

i’m crying gordon ramsay is my favorite

But seriously, stop hex shaming you wombats! 😂

this is the best post

Every time I see this it gets better

CLEANSE YOUR SPACE, YOU FUCKING NOODLE.

The real official sacred laws of witchcraft

college professor just said “you’re probably too young to even remember this” and brought up something that happened in 2011

Better than my professer that said we’d “probably recognize this from Saturday morning cartoons” then showed us a cartoon from 1935…

New immortal vs. old immortal

@ the tumblr witch community

STOP PROMOTING CURSES. Magic should never be used to harm others. Period point blank. I don’t know why I have to say that in the first place. Bringing that much negative energy into your craft and into your life will only hurt you.

I’m gonna be kind to you bc you’re clearly new.

Thank you @stormywitch

No one has a right to dictate how a witch practices

you know fucking what? you know fucking what!! recovery isn’t always about whether or not you experience symptoms it’s about how you react to them. i need to stop beating myself for having triggers and emotions and symptoms and start praising myself whenever i cope in a healthy way.

“Witches: We Need You!”

Found this out in Los Angeles.

When a woman says, “This man raped me a long time ago,” we say, “But that was in the past. He can’t change the past.” When a girl says, “This boy raped me last night,” we say, “But his future! We can’t wreck his future.” And there she stands, suspended between his past and his future, with no value of her own except for how much she’s worth to whichever political party is feeling desperate today.

“that’s just the way the world works” it literally doesn’t have to be but okay

if anyone ever tells you “humans are just selfish / life is cruel / that’s just how the world is, get over it” be critical of them bc there’s a 75% chance they’re just using that as an excuse for their own shitty behavior so that they don’t have to put an effort into being better, kinder people

“life isn’t fair” is how I’ve gotten over / dealt with a lot of tramatic shit. Growing up Catholic and thinking god was doing all this shit to me because i deserved it / wasn’t praying hard enough fucking sucked for my self worth. I wasn’t special shitty things happen to a lot of people. I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I’m not shitty. Life is shitty.

okay but like life doesn’t have to be shitty. people can be shitty. it’s a choice for people to do shitty things like abuse others. it’s not “normal” in life. it’s not the way life is. it’s not something to get used to. so “life isn’t fair” makes me feel worse about my trauma. glad it helped you i guess but it’s not a nice way to view things. it’s a hopeless way of thinking. it’s to avoid change and progress and to excuse yourself from the revolutions beginning because you just dont wanna participate. you pass it off that life’s just the way it is and ignore the fact change can happen. it’s detrimental.

Like, people who identify as Queer know the word is used like a slur. Trust me, we know.

So when we say “queer is a slur” was started by terfs, maybe use some critical thinking and try to understand what we mean. That is, if you actually care about queer people and the damage terfs do, rather that just screaming “queer is a slur!” and ignoring the actual point.

Terfs did not like that queer was reclaimed. End of. This is a fact. Queer was too broad, too accepting, and embraced all the people they wanted gone. And I know y'all exclusionists feel the same but get pissed when we point it out so you deny it, but sit down and listen for a minute.

Queer was the preferred term for poc. For bisexuals. For trans people. For people with multiple identities. It neatly encapsulated everything, and was a friendly community to those who felt thrown under the bus by mainstream LGBT activism. It was a political and social statement, “you treated my like I was different and weird, and guess what? I am and that’s something to be proud of.”

So the response? “You can’t use that word. Its bad. Its a slur.”

And at the time, a lot of people rolled their eyes. Everyone knew why they didn’t like the word and brushed that off. It was fine.

So they started more subtly. “Just so you know this word is very harmful and is a slur so be careful how you use it :))) in case you didn’t know :)))) its a slur :))) friendly reminder :))) for the sake of other people of course :))))” type shit on every post involving the word, including and especially posts simply mentioning self identification.

Always worded in friendly, concerned ways, like the derailment was meant to be nice and considerate, and not about normalizing their rhetoric.

And what happened because of that was a younger generation of community kids growing up with these statements being thrown at them and absorbed on every. Single. Post. That. Mentionioned. Queer.

The result? That same generation of kids cutting it all short, removing the meant-to-be-palatable niceness, to just say “queer is a slur.”

Exactly how it was originally intended. “Queer is a slur.” People drop on posts where young queer people talk about it being a self identifier that actually fits them. “Its a slur,” they comment, with nothing else, on posts they clearly didn’t read past that word, written by people twice their age who had reclaimed it before they were even born.

Its nasty. Its disgusting. It’s plain old bigotry, whether the people saying know it or not. It is a terf tactic, plain and simple.

And no one wants to deny that it is indeed used as a slur (right along with all the rest of our identities.) No one wants to be insensitive and force it on people who haven’t reclaimed it.

But invading queer people’s posts to spit “queer is a slur” is flat out queerphobic. You do the dirty work of terfs, of cis straight oppressors, by saying in one simple sentence: “its a dirty word, there is no pride in it, you haven’t/can’t reclaim(ed) it.”

And regardless of your actual intentions, when you do this, that is EXACTLY what you are communicating and doing.

“Queer is a slur” is a terf movement. Stop fucking supporting terfs just because you want to pretend like it isn’t.
