Friendly reminder that ICE still existed under Biden, that there were still countless people deported under Biden, that if the democrats had one and the same deportations that are happening now happened, you likely wouldn't have heard about it at all.

If you suddenly care about the rights of immigrants the moment that a republican is in office, you don't actually care about immigrants. Like, I'm happy more people are calling out ICE raids now, but it's upsetting knowing that the exact same people would be defending and/or ignoring them if these were happening under a different president.

Please, there is going to be a time when Trump is out of office. And ICE will likely still exist and still be deporting massive amounts of people when that happens. If you actually care about human rights, and not just hating a specific guy, you're going to have to hate ICE just as much once he's out of office.

Went for a walk with a friend.

I am perpetually stuck between the desire to connect deeply with those I love and the desire to live in utter solitude. I fear equally, being disconnected from myself as much as I fear being disconnected from others.

The more time I spend alone, I feel the tug from two directions: the need to step outside my isolation and encounter the world outside of myself…and the desire to protect the world within from the unsolicited disturbances from the world without.

stfu stfu literally nobody has an ugly smile or an ugly laugh its just not a thing. your smiles and laughter are the literal manifestations of your joy theyre gorgeous no matter what they look like or how they sound

my silly little dream

i love the idea of living close to nature. be it up in the cold mountains in a log cabin with a green tin roof, and solar panels in the yard, or in a country cob cabin with a living roof, nestled into a meadow somewhere beautiful and hot. i want to live close to the earth and be familiar with her. i don't want a television. i want a book shelf and some vinyl records and a turntable with lots of speeds. i want to dance with my husband and our kids in the living room and make tea and salads with the herbs and flowers, which we foraged. maybe i’ll un-school my kids, or i’ll send them to a Waldorf school (depending on the opportunities wherever we land). ill teach them witchcraft, but also to respect all faiths and ideologies (which pose no direct harm to others). ill send them to the local synagogue with my Jewish friends, to the mosque with my Muslim friends, to temple with my Hindu friends, and so on. i want open an open-minded, and kind-hearted family. my husband and i will kiss often, sometimes in front of the kids, and they will groan and roll their eyes, but ultimately they are learning that that's how their future partner should treat them. we might have chickens in the yard, and maybe one or two roosters. maybe a greenhouse, where i can grow fresh herbs and greens year round (if we are so blessed with the money to do so). i'll enroll my kiddos in book clubs at the local library, and read books to them with no pictures when they are bored. i will allow them the time to just rest. i don't care how loud, or odd, or sassy my kids might be, i care only that they are gentle with others and do their best to understand others. i’ll go on dates with my husband long after we are married, we will wander, weaving through the mountains or meadows. i will run my hands through his hair and gaze into his eyes as i do now, before the altar. if we have the money, i’ll put a swimming/fishing pond in the yard. we'll have lots of pets, and homestead animals and we'll nurture injured animals we encounter. i can’t wait for one day to come to me.

THIS is the kind of take I love to see

Allthough I am Catholic there is something i think is important and needs to be said

I have talked to different people, I have talks to Muslims, Jewish people, other Christians, Pagans, Atheists, Agnostics and even Satanists

And everyone has separate and DEEPLY personal reasons as to why they are the faith they are. Religion and faith is highly personal. The first amendment here in America specifies we are a country with freedom to worship

That includes faiths you may not like or believe in

We can only choose our own path, we can only control ourselves

I believe it's disrespectful to try to control other people's paths, when we know good and well it would upset us if they did the same

as a person in a long distance relationship i feel this with my whole heart i miss this

being individuals together is so intimate. let’s read different books but curled up next to each other, let’s visit a coffee shop so you can study & i can write, let’s just be near each other

there’s not a person in this world who hasn’t embarrassed themselves or hurt someone or made a mistake. learn and grow from these things, rectify them if you can, but don’t dwell on them. we are all human; we are all imperfect.

hey, so lateral sourcing is really difficult with international news but, i did learn a bit about how the italian gov functions while trying to find out if it was cool to reblog this..

i'm not italian, so idk if this is a reputable source, but i found a few good summarizing articles. (if you don't speak italian -in which case same- the option to google translate will pop up automatically for google users <3)

i’ve been learning how to use [ thou / thee / thy / thine ] and it sounded really confusing at first because all of the websites i found would be talking about things like whether you’re the subject or object and blah blah blah and it just made it sound really complicated

but as it turns out it’s not

in fact, you already know the rules for how to use [ thou / thee / thy / thine ] because it’s the same as [ i / me / my / mine ] (they even rhyme – me/thee, my/thy, and mine/thine)

the only difference is an archaic rule for “mine” that has since fallen out of use, the very same rule that we use for [ a / an ], which basically boils down to “if it comes before a vowel, add an [ n ]”

observe:

i gave him a gift // thou gave him a gift

he gave me a gift  // he gave thee a gift

this is my chair // this is thy chair

this chair is mine // this chair is thine

and

this is a pear // this is my pear // this is thy pear

this is an apple // this is mine my apple // this is thine apple

it’s as simple as that.

compliment recklessly! say the nice things that come to your head! we've got better things to do than resisting the instinct to be kind!

identity

Hey, so I want to preface this by saying that I’m supportive of everyone, however they identify. 

It seems like my fellow multisexuals haven’t created clear definitions of words, and it annoys me sometimes. I’m attracted to men, women, and all sorts of non-binary people, and depending on who I ask this would make me either bi or pansexual. At this point, I don’t know which label I should use. 

A lot of people I know, who identify as bi, are attracted to (and have dated) nonbinary people, but, a lot of pansexuals distinguish themselves from bisexuals by saying that bisexuals are only attracted to binary genders, so according to them those bi people would be pansexual. I feel like people who are attracted to all genders identifying as bi is valid. Because of that, I don’t want to say I'm pansexual and not bi BECAUSE of my attraction to nonbinary folks, because I feel like that would invalidate bisexuals who date nonbinary people. Either way, I fit under the multisexual umbrella, so I’ve been using that label for now, or just switching between the three terms. Which leads me to my next point;

Why does no one use the term multisexual as an umbrella term? Whenever people talk about the multisexual umbrella, people just say bi, whether the person is Omni, pan, bi, or otherwise. What's up with that? Is bi the umbrella term?

At this point, I'm beginning to hate labels, which sucks bc my lizard brain really likes to put labels on everything, especially me... maybe I should work on that.

as the colder months approach: i wish you all a healthy, calm end of the year. i wish you tasty cups of tea, comfortable clothes, warm beds, nutritious meals in safe homes, good music, new friends and unwavering health. you deserve good things now.

The basic, biological ingredients for well-being that our ancestors built into their lifestyles are missing from modern life. Strong relationships, sense of community and purpose, sunlight, exercise, diet, and balanced thinking patterns must be taken seriously.

Aspects of our culture/modern life furthermore set us up for sacrificing these in favour of patterns that facilitate consumerism (staying inside and watching netflix, eating processed foods, isolating ourselves, forming a worldview through social media, anxiously comparing ourselves to others).

Think about why you love your friends. What comes to mind first? It probably isn't things like "I love how they have a job" or "I love how they get good grades." Instead you might be thinking about their compassion, their sense of humor, their perspective, their passion, their values, their mindset/attitude or their intelligence. So don't let yourself or anyone else reduce your worth to your productivity alone. We're all far more than that!

a concept: it’s just chilly enough to warrant a thick sweater. the rain beats against the window. there’s a homemade pie in the oven, and its scent fills the room. the cat is snoring softly near the hearth. life is calm.
