Guys Iâm actually doing something social tonight!
Going with my good friend to the local arcade and bar, its one of my favorite places. Its huge, a 2 story arcade with a full bar. After 5pm its 21 plus only, so thatâs my plans for tonight. I havenât been in ages. Iâm so excited!
Iâm fucking jealous. Iâd nut so hard Iâd be shooting blanks for a week if I found one of those. What city and state is this, if I may ask?
Hahaha, well its in Portland, Or. You know how Portland is, gotta have booze mixed with everything. We are the brewery city as some call us.

Breaking out my ânewâ vintage dress I got from the thrift store. And sandals simply because its going to be hot today, but I finally have a reason to wear this dress.Â

This is that weird abstract millennial humour that we all laugh at and older generations squint at shouting âI donât understand the joke!! I think Iâve missed something!!â
definitely click through to the âread moreâ, i laughed so much!
Legitimate *pro bono legal services* donât exist without a good reason. In a few of the exmormon groups Iâm in youâll see regular posts saying stuff like âLook what my lawyer sent me today!â with a pic of their resignation confirmation letter from the church.
You know. Just stuff that a normal average church that is definitely not actually a cult would do. ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
đ
As an ex-mormon, Iâm gonna look the fuck into this. I want nothing to do with the church that shaped so much toxicity about my self image and my sexual orientation.
Not sure if any followers need this but if you do, here you go.
Everyone should be able to choose their religious beliefs and community, and leave any that they find does not work for them.
Ex mormon here – this guyâs legit. The Mormon holds your files for eternity, and when they find out that youâve moved to a new area, they will send members and missionaries from that region to harass you. I know this sounds like dystopic bullshit, but they followed my father through three moves before he rejoined the church.
Also ex mormon here who used this. Itâs a ridiculously helpful service that is incredibly easy to use. They keep you updated throughout the whole process, and itâs totally worth it since the church doesnât get to keep all your private information and pass it around once you resign đ
What, am I supposed to be cool with rampant suicide baiting and harassment for ships? The other day an anon said they hope I get raped for supporting fujoshi. Yeah, Iâm gonna fucking complain about that.
Paste a section of your wip and find out what author your writing style matches up with!
Comment who youâre matched up with!
I got Bram Stoker 3 times đ§đœââïž
@silverscreenwriter GIRL this was totally made for you! (I took it and got Charles Dickens haha)
@afairytaledream I love Charles Dickens omg, A Tale of Two Cities is one of my favorite books. Youâre gonna laugh xD I got James Joyce (HURRAY)!! Well, the first time I tried it, I got Neil Gaiman but I have never read his books, so I tried a few other passages from my WIP and got James Joyce every time! Which is hilarious given where I work now, Iâll have to tell everyone that xDÂ
Sorry it took a while to get back to this, but entering in literally any of my WIPs got me Agatha Christie. Thatâs interesting – I really like her books, but none of my stories are mysteries or even have anything to do with crime. But thatâs really nice, since I do love her mysteries – Poirot especially, but even the others are super cool too.
Iâm really not sure who has been tagged already, but @forlornraven, @albatris, and maybe @kittensartsbooks – if youâve already been tagged, then sorry and no pressure!
Sorry it took me so long, I havenât been here on Tumblr for a while.
Okay, I got two times Agatha Christie, so Iâm going with it, but I also got bunch of other names as I tried multiple times. I wouldnât trust too much on the analyzing skills of that program đ
I got Agatha Christie three times with three different works. Huh, Iâll have to read some of her works some time.
mk so with the first story i wrote like JK Rowling, and the second story i tried apparently i wrote like Stephen King⊠what even
Youâre Stephen J King Rowling: Master of Wizards, Maine, and Horror.
AH THANKS MAKES SENSE NOW
Someone paste something of mine into it đ ±ïžlease im on mobile and idk how
I write like Stephen King. Iâve actually never read his writing.
I got Agatha Christie. Iâve never read a single one of her books.
Stephen King⊠hmmmm
Neil Gaiman apparently, I feel bad since Iâve never read anything of his đŠ
my snippet:Â âThe sky was dark and drear, the scent of the moon’s dew droplets resting in the grass. The woman, tall as the trees, hair of the stars, walks among the brush and thickets. Her eyes are ever seeing, all seeing and enlightened. You could never fool her, never charm her and never escape her. Her steps are silent, steady, smooth as the rivers. Capes and cloaks of ebony, obsidian scarves, a shadow of the night, lurk and linger. She is Fate, she is Destiny, she is The End.â
–old poem I wrote a few years back out of boredom for extra credit in English Class
theres a big martian dust storm rn and its not clear if opportunity will survive
sci fi writers: humans dont care about robots
me, crying: OPPORTUNITY HONEY YOU CAN DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU
Reminder that Opportunity landed with another robot Spirit in 2004. Spirit got stuck in 2009 and ceased communication in 2010. Opportunity is currently operating with only 2 functioning wheels. Both bots were set to run for 90 days, Opportunity has been running for 14 goddamn years. I will be very upset if when this bot breaks down.Â
Someone just told me that the fact I have a good relationship with my dad and take his fathering as inspiration for father characters I create and write is “triggering” and “unnatural”. Ummmmm
I went ahead and put the translation on the original comic, just because itâs good practice for me as I work on my own comics and art. It forces me to study how professional artists do their lettering and how they structure their text to fit with the action. I feel like Iâm learning something, at least. Someday I aspire to pack as much cuteness into a page as Sakurai-sensei does. PLEASE SUPPORT THE ORIGINAL ARTIST ON TWITTER AND PIXIV.
i wish this will get an anime adaptation please đ
i donât want to achieve equality by sinking to menâs level, i want them to get on ours! why should i have to unlearn the conversational art of waiting my turn, unlearn sexual self-restraint, unlearn trust in othersâ good intentions, unlearn the impulse to cater to othersâ needs, just to have a chance at success among savages? why canât the men learn some fucking manners so we can all conduct our affairs in a civilized manner? i shouldnât have to stop saying sorry, you say sorry!
In the 80s when I was in my freshman year in college, they still had entirely separate mens and womenâs dorms. I was in class waiting for a final to start and one of the guys was telling someone about how he had had to go into a womenâs dorm to drop something off, and he was startled to see posters on the walls, flowers, curtains, etc. He said his menâs dorm had holes in the walls, things on fire, fights, guys walking around with open wounds and he just didnât understand why they had to live like this. He said, âI want to live with the women, in civilization.â
Am reading Sisterhood of Spies, about women working for the OSS during WWII. One of the stories mentions that the women in London had a male visitor who would eat in their mess hall once a month. He was married and wasnât interested in hitting on any of the women; he just wanted to eat in an atmosphere where people said âPlease pass the butter,â instead of âPASS THE GODDAMNED GREASEâ
I dated a guy who brought me along on group activities (movies, video game night, etc.) with four or five other male friends. Once I mentioned to one of the other guys that I hoped I wasnât intruding on their âguy timeâ or some such. He got this sort of rueful look and said, âThe truth is, I really like it when youâre here because it gives us a reason to act better. When itâs just guys, we all have to try to outdo each other with how vile we are.â
So the moral of these stories are men donât even treat each other like human beings.
The law of attraction is so real. I swear, once you establish yourself as powerful, or strong, or independent, or business minded, people like you will flock your way out of nowhere. And itâs just the universe reminding you that when you can see something beautiful in yourself, others can see it and admire it as well.
My manager and I both went to grab a ringing phone, he instead hit the call button so instead of picking up I picked up him calling me. We just sort of had an awkward conversation 3 feet from each other on the phone
Hello darlings! Today I really want to talk about magical waters. Iâll start with simple waters, then one ingredient waters, and then composite waters. Waters is pretty much anything like water that is used magically, so it ranges from storm water to tobacco and damiana tincture, and other stuff. Any of these can be collected whenever is convenient, but I added the time to collect them to make them more potent.
Natural Waters
Rain Water:
Rain water can be used for any spell to make it more potent, but it is a useful tool in peace magic, to quell anger, to relax, and for dream magic. Collect whenever you want.
Storm Water:
Storm water can be either protective or offensive. Use it to wash down your doors to protect you from hexes, and wash your tools with it to amplify their power. You can use it in any hexes or curses you want. To amplify it, add rusty nails to it and let turn rusty. Collect on a waxing gibbous moon.
Swamp Water:
Can be used in works for binding, hexing, or cloaking. Use when wanting to cause illness. Annoint yourself with swamp water to make yourself unnoticeable to others. Colelct on the dark moon (second new moon of the month) or on the new moon.
Marsh Water:
Marsh water is almost the same as swamp water, but it is more suitable for cloaking than other things. It can also be used for cleansing negative energies. Colelct on waning crescent moon.
Hail Water:
Hail water is melted hailstones. Use it for protection or hexing. Similar to storm water, but more aggressive. Use when you want to break sojmeone, or when you wish to cause physical harm. Collect during a full moon for best results.
Salt Water:
Salt water can be used for cleansing and protection from negativity. Simply add salt to water.
Sea Water:
Use sea water in works involving the psyche, or in hexing. It can also be used for cleansing. I use it to work with demonic forces as well. Collect on a new moon.
Lake Water:
Lake water is amazing in works concerning emotions, love, memories, or past life regressions. Boil it and drink it to enhance attempts for past life regressions. Collect on waxing moon.
Pond Water:
Use when wanting to bind someone, or to limit their horizons. Keep a flower vase with pond water in it on a table to silence a conversation to those not sitting at it. Collect on a dark moon.
Spring Water:
Spring water is super versatile. Use it instead of tap water.
Dew:
Dew can allow the witch to cast powerful glamours for beauty and youth. It is an important ingredient in love potions. Collect at sunrise during a waxing or full moon.
Self Water:
Fancy word for spit or urine. This one is a little nasty, but it is to be used whenever a spell needs to be tied to the caster.
Simples
Sun Water:
Bask any sort of water in the sun for a full day. Use it for cleansing, to bring positivity into a space, or for glamours of youth.
Moon Water:
Used to power up any spell. Let water sit in the light of a full moon for a full night.
Tobacco Water:
Steep tobacco into water for a week in the fridge. When strained, mix with 100 proof vodka, about 1.5 parts water for 1 part vodka. Use it to cleanse or to offer to spirits when working with them. Can be used to cause addiction in a person.
Saffron Water:
Steep saffron into water and mix 1 part water with 1 part vodka. Use to raise winds by sprinkling it in the air, or rub on your lips before whistling and raising storms.
Rose Water:
Use for love, glamours, and beauty. Steep fresh rose petals in vodka for a period of 4 weeks, and then extract all the liquid from the petals by pressing them until they have lost their color. Cut with 0.5 part water.
Orange Blossom Water:
Use for joy, beauty, cleansing, and sunshine. Prepare in the same way as the rose water.
Lilac Water:
Use lilac water for sleep, dream magic, spirit work, and cleansing. Prepare in the same way you would prepare the other flower waters.
Apple Blossom Water:
Create this by the same manner as the three flower waters above. Use for protection, love, and beauty.
Holly Water:
Holly water is to be used to protect your family. It will prick at intruders, or unwelcomed guests. It will also allow you to always have knoledge of the safety of your family. Simply steep holly leaves in water and mix with vodka. Do not ingest this, as it is poisonous.
Composites
All Bite no Bark Water:
A powerful water used for protection of a space. Mix together storm water, hair of a black dog, dirt of a grave, the ashes of psalm 7, rose thorns, teeth of a canidae, and three holly berries. Pour around a room which you wish to protect, or water protective plants to give their produce an aggressive kick. This water will protect a space with the ferocity of a rabid dog, and will not warn before attacking.
Fiery Wall of Protection Water:
Mix together sun water with three hot peppers, red brick dust, pottasium nitrate (saltpeter), sulfur, and blackthorn pricks. Another like the above, but more passive. Attacker might suffer a rash after encountering it.
Pitch Water:
Use pitch water to stop someone from making any progress. Mix together water from a swamp, gum arabic or acacia, charcoal dust, and chapparal. It can also be used to dissorient. Fair warning, this water is hella sticky.
Fuck Off Water:
Mix together sumac, apple seeds, thorns of a blackberry, cloves and storm water. Use it to repel unwanted people.
Goodbye Lover Water:
Mix together sea water, sumac, cloves, poppy seeds, thorns of a cactus, petals of a hibiscus flower, and saltpeter. Use it to get rid of unwanted courters or lovers, or to make two people break up.
I hope you guys find this useful! Make sure to be careful with any of the potentially dangerous ingredients listed, and put these to good use! Good luck my darlings.
I am fairly sure there are other explanatory factors for a dropping life expectancy, such as skyrocketing obesity rates and no one exercising enough. Thereâs not much evidence that increases in the quantity of working hours is linked to a dropping life expectancy.
ya ever hear of researching shit before you embarrass yourself?
Just me whining a bit, every time I check on my bath masterpost I see people adding information I already have in the post such as how at the start I have a disclaimer saying not to submerge certain crystals in water or how to boil/filter your rain water. *sigh* read the post guys before lecturing me about it. I researched it. I promise.
Personally, I donât discriminate or invalidate people who use pop-culture magick, but I do not like it myself.
Same. I get basing spells on pop culture stuff, like say a love spell based on or inspired by a fictional couple. But actually worshipping characters and stuff like that? Idk man, that would feel too weird to me. You do you though!
Thatâs how I feel, as well. Itâs too unrealistic for me to practice. But, to each their own. It works for some people, it seems!
As a pop culture witch (though not to the extent of some), thoughtforms based off of characters or fictional creatures and gods are popular. Lots of people make several types of thoughtforms for their practices. I personally do not claim that fictional characters are real, but I get when people use thoughtforms based off of pokemon or spirits in media or digimon.Â
wooooow…. well glad to know this anon lives in a sad, dank, dreary world

Guest: *Stands in front of my computer clearing their throat several times before reaching over our barrier to slam their hands on my keyboard to get my attention*
Remember in the 90âČs where we went through a phase where all electronics had transparent casing?
Shit was WILD! I want this today! Fuck ârose goldâ or whatever, give me a transparent smartphone so I can directly stare daggers at my dying battery with every software update!
Yeah its been an interesting Monday. When I was checking out a rock band was checking in (not allowed to disclose who per contract) which was pretty rad, and then immediately after they checked in someone started screaming in the lobby and had to be escorted out. Like I guess now the night staff have to deal with some rabid fans trying to get in
