My LOVELY father in law stole $700 from mine and my husband’s bank account. On his birthday. Which happened to be Thanksgiving (my first without my mother, by the way). He has threatened to kill me before and sent my husband a message that translated to “I’ll kill you” in Hawaiian. The cops haven’t really done shit to help.
I’ve already made a spell jar to protect my family and curse anyone who harms us, but I need more witch power and intent to speed things along.
Please, if any of you can, send help, energy, good wishes. Her father in law threatened to kill her and the cop that showed up was one of his friends. He specifically waited until his son’s, her husband’s, birthday to steal the money from them. This guy deserves what’s coming to him. This isn’t the first time he’s done things like this to her and her family. When her mother was dying, with just days left to live, he threatened to kill her.
I just had this hyper-realistic dream and like. I don’t even know what to make of this lmao
I was sitting in this park, on a bench, looking up at the night sky and all the stars and stuff, and I blinked and suddenly the entire sky was different. I’m talking different constellations, the sky absolutely packed with billions more stars, some so close they’re massive. I’m like wtf and suddenly I realise there’s an old man sitting next to me, dressed in like 1940s clothing, also looking up at the sky.
before I can ask him if he’s you know, noticed, he speaks, without looking away from the sky.
“this is what the universe really looks like,” he tells me.
“oh,” I say. a pause. “…can you put it back?”
he smiles and nods. I look up. the sky has gone back to normal.
“what do I do with this information?” I ask, looking at him again.
he turns his head and, smiling, looks me dead in the face. "be careful.“
hey op im pretty sure you mightve just met god or something like that
if you’re looking for fun ways to incorporate witchcraft into the holiday season, try casting hexes on everyone who is an asshole to overworked retail employees
Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won.
That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.
The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.
His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.
Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.
You know the drill. Here’s what to do:
The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.
You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:
I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.
The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them.
The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.
Please leave the existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.
I try to keep things fun and light on here…but…this is really important. Imagine what will happen to our fandom (and all the fandoms all over the internet) if the FCC kills net neutrality? There’s a strong possibility huge swaths of content will be inaccessible and it will hurt the fan content creators you love.
I have SUPER ANXIETY but calling my congressman made me feel better about this than I’ve felt in weeks. I actually did something. And they were really polite on the phone even though I was like
“Kill net neutrality? Now you’re not even speaking English”
they give you a little script and call your number
you enter your zip code into your phone
it connects you to your congressperson
you say you support net neutrality and ask if the congressperson does
if they do, say you appreciate their support and ask them to keep fighting
if they don’t, make it clear you will not vote for them and will support their opponents in the future unless they change their stance (this is the most effective thing to say!)
I did some pacing around to work up the courage to do it, but
I’m sorry this got long…but please, this is really important. Your voice CAN make a difference.
I have near panic attacks when I have to talk on the phone sometimes, esp about important stuff like this that I’m already panicking about, so just reminders you do have other options to be supportive.
But if you are brave enough, please do call! Do all you can! The internet is very important.
A lot of people have asked me for tips on how to incorporate witchcraft into daily life. How you incorporate it depends on your schedule, your habits, and your tools on hand. However, I’ll list my ideal morning routine in order to give you some ideas.
After I wake up, I add some cinnamon to the coffee grounds before brewing*. Cinnamon increases luck and energy, so I like starting off my day with that little boost.
*The reason I add cinnamon to the grounds and not the finished coffee is because powdered cinnamon can’t actually dissolve; it’ll just sink or sit at the top. By adding cinnamon to the grounds, you’re able to infuse the cinnamon into the flavor and charge the spell. .
If you don’t drink coffee, you may want to brew some tea.
Black tea (like most chais, earl grey and breakfast teas) aid alertness and energy, their caffeine helping to dispel negative premonitions of the day.
Green tea (like jasmine, senchas, and matcha) can help detoxify your energy and clear your conscious mind.
White and herbal teas help with clarity, serenity and wisdom (though this largely depends on the ingredients in the tea).
If you don’t want coffee or tea, drink some lemon water. The water will hydrate you, and the lemon will cleanse your energy and invigorate you.
For an easy boost, place a crystal next to your coffee pot, tea pot or cup to charge the drink.
Clear quartz boosts clarity.
Rose quartz increases chance of love and attractiveness.
Obsidian, bloodstone and onyx stabilize and ground you.
Opal and lapis intensify awareness and spiritual powers.
Tiger’s eye increases courage.
I won’t list all crystals here because that would take forever, but those are a couple ideas.
While the drinks are brewing/charging, I take some time to ground. I like to do yoga, but some people will meditate during this time, or practice energy techniques. You only have to do this for as long as the drink is charging (so like literally five minutes, trust me it makes a difference).
If you eat breakfast, give a piece of your breakfast as an offering. If you don’t, give some of the drink you made as an offering. I’m the kind of person who works with multiple deities and spirits at a time, so I like to give an offering to one of them and then rotate. This helps mindset and motivation, because if you have low spoons or a down day, at least you’ve completed something.
While you’re getting dressed/doing makeup, light a candle. I like to start my day off with a little light; it acts as a positive omen and can wake you up more.
Candle color ideas: white (purity and beginnings); red (courage and strength); green (healing, luck and prosperity); blue (calming and spiritual awareness); purple (psychic powers and control); yellow (positivity and attractiveness); pink (beauty, serenity and positivity); orange (stimulation and energy).
Scent ideas for the candle: floral (healing and cheeriness); citrus (purity, energy, and focus); sweet (happiness, kindness and patience); spicy (passion, motivation and magic); subtle (grounding and calm).
Do your makeup in the morning? I recommend placing some sea glass or rose quartz next to your makeup supplies as you use them. It’s a simple tactic that’ll really up your look for the day.
This morning routine takes about twenty minutes, and includes six witchcraft spells. That’s a lot of productivity that’ll help wake you up and motivate you for the day!
Other ideas that I don’t personally do, but others do:
Turn your morning shower into a cleansing ritual not that i don’t take showers, I just don’t take them in the morning.
Color-coordinate your outfit for your day’s intent.
or your makeup/accessories
Make some fruit-infused water to carry with you throughout the day for an energy boost.
Carry an appropriate crystal in your pocket to help calm, stabilize or motivate you.
Add an herb to your eggs (or other breakfast food) that’ll help your intent for the day
Say a prayer while you’re still in bed, before you get up in the morning. That’ll count as a simple offering.
Feel free to add some more ideas, especially for the late-sleepers and spoonie witches out there! Have a beautiful morning (ᗒᗨᗕ) /
Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.
We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.
We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]
This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?
we’re almost ¾ of the way there!! c’mon guys, every bit counts!
will it ever stop
fucking signal boost
IF YOU ARE NOT SIGNAL BOOSTING THIS YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
IF THE U.S. FALLS TO THIS IT WILL OPEN OTHER DANGEROUS DOORS INTERNATIONALLY.
Start a civil war against the US government.
Signal boost for my us followers
I try to keep the things I reblog as blog/mun-centric as possible, but this is something I just can’t let slide.
I’ve been following this cause since last year. I’ve signed petitions, I’ve called representatives, I’ve been to protests, the whole nine yards.
This right here? This is not a joke. This is seriously happening, guys.
Remember the Wikipedia shutdown? That was to protest this right here. If you haven’t taken action against this yet, frankly, what is wrong with you? If this doesn’t get stopped, we’re going to lose the thing that brings us all together unless we shell out huge sums of cash to these corrupt bastards.
Do not just sit there and keep browsing.
Do not scroll past this.
Fight.
I’ve been reblogging every single Net Neutrality post
I may think its useless but I also believe in HOPE so KEEP TRYING
This isn’t art-related, but this is EXTREMELY SERIOUS IF YOU LIVE IN THE US. The following message is pasted from Reddit user DrDreamtime. I did not write this, but it
contains all the most important information you should know. It should be spread as far and wide as possible.
For
those that do not know or understand what net neutrality is and would
rather see a video instead of a LOT of text, here is a good video by John Oliver on Net Neutrality.
Please take the time to at least do the first easy step, either of the two options work and take very little time.
If
this fails, the possibility of actually having to pay more to access
reddit, facebook, and any other website or face massive loading speed
increases or even a straight out site-block by your ISP.
You need to contact your representatives and senators about Net Neutrality even if they already support it, but especially if they don’t.
Remember
that this very thread is only possible because of a free and open
internet; kill net neutrality and threads like this might be a thing of
the past.
Text RESIST to 50409
to get help from RESIST Bot. It helps you find your reps, write letters
to them, and sends them faxes FOR FREE. Everyone who cares about Net
Neutrality should take 5 minutes to write to your representatives, once a
week (or a day). Be heard.
The harder, but still very easy way:
Step 1: Find out who your Representative and Senator is/are.
FaxZero has a system set up allowing you to fax your Representatives and Senators
for free! (Faxes are good if you can’t get through on the phone lines,
or just if you want congressional staffers to listen to fax machine
noises until Net Neutrality is safe.)
Step 3: Call, write, or fax to express your feelings on this.
A
lot of people are nervous about calling their elected officials for the
first time, maybe you don’t know what to say, or how to say it, or even
who you’ll be talking to, so here’s what you’ll need to know.
There’s
a 75% chance your call will be answered by a Secretary who is
specifically there to listen to your concerns, there’s a 25% chance your
call will be bumped into a voicemail box which is specifically there to
listen to your concerns, there is a ~0% chance you’ll find yourself on
the phone with your Senator or Representative.
You may be asked for your name and address or zip code, it’s okay not to tell them if you don’t want to, but the information is useful for your elected officials. I usually just give my first name, zip code, and the name of my town.
Don’t
worry about a script, don’t worry about being eloquent, you’re not
writing Shakespeare here, you’re a concerned citizen voicing their
frustrations, fears, and hopes. “I’m really scared of Ajit Pai’s plans
to roll back net neutrality, a free and open internet is important to me
because [Your reason here. Some suggestions: An open internet is
important to democracy/I worry what Donald Trump might do with more
power/Cable bills are already too high/etc.]. Please tell [Senator or
Representative] that I support a free and open internet, I support Net
Neutrality, and I vote.” The only hard and
fast rule is that you need to be polite; these folks are getting dozens,
if not hundreds of calls a day, they don’t need you bitching and
swearing at them for something they have no control over. Be passionate,
but be polite.
Reminder: Only call YOUR OWN elected officials!
Calling Mitch McConnell from sunny Florida won’t do anyone any good,
and might actually harm the cause. Only call your own elected officials,
period.
