Landlords coming for an early annual inspection so I cleaned and updated the altar! Vacuumed and wiped down. I've added two extra shelves for the fun of it and to declutter the main altar I also dusted and reorganized the featured books on the altar shelf. I […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]
Angled shot of the main altar. not a lot of space for Alt since there's a lot of stuff so I'll stay on the focus of each shot.

This is the two tiered main altar representing the higher and lower self. the lower area is on top of a black book shelf with a red cloth on it. from left to right is an empty Four Roses bourbon bottle with paper flowers in it, a knife stand holding an amethyst knife and an old Winchester knife, pink candle stick in a glass base, two brass bells, glass cup of feathers, dried gourd, vial of silver flakes, vial of gold flakes, copper chunk, wand with labradorite handle, 2 jars of water, bloodstone skull, brass key, ,mirror, labradorite sphere, red candle.

tier 2 sits on a black painted box bearing a Triquetra and the seal of Zagan. left to right it has: coyote skull, Copper sphere, labradorite chunk, ceramic skull, ceramic cone incense holder, purple candle stick.This section focuses on my altar book shelf including

Encyclopedia of Vampires and other monsters
encyclopedia of haunted places
encyclopedia of religions, witchcraft, and magic
Grimoire for the apprentice wizard
companion for the grimoire for the apprentice wizard
the three books of occult philosophy
the Greek magical papyri
complete stoic works of Marcus Aurelius, Plato, and Tacitus
Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts

small magicsthe only thing left here is the upper shelves. the lower shelf has a labradorite divine fem figure, labradorite skull my partner gifted me, two brass ducks I got my partner, a glass vial with a dried daffodil in it, a carved gnome

upper: alcohol jar preserved albino snake, nail trimmings from my cats and rabbits, a wizard statue my great aunt gift my brother, 3D printed dingding, dried daffodil (both I acquired at the ruins of a blacks only church in the Appalachian mountains in an old mining company town.) and a hematite crow.

I like to have some news coming across my feeds, but general mainstream news is fucked with useless bloat, rage bait, capitalism bias, and just so fucking spammy But news from orgs I trust that are politically sounder have the problem of being too niche and possibly echo chambery. My solution!

Found this at an Acquisition and I've never felt such a range of emotions.
IT Nightmare fuel. its a Cat5 Ethernet cable spliced onto an extender using some nice quality Wago Style connections.

unfortunately this un-twists my twisted pair Ethernet  cable and causes Problems TM

hence, why I was rewiring this store.

This meme made me realize you can count to 16 on 4 fingers if you're a fucking NERD
Three nerdy looking dudes walking into a bar. lead one holds up two fingers and says "three beers"

the joke is he's counting in binary where a 11 equals 3 since its two active bits.

Me after 3 weeks of meditation
A dramatic zoom in on an older man, wide eyed and engulfed in tears. His expression is not one of distress but one of beautiful understanding. Frank says "Oh my God. I get it." a feeling Mac's real father failed to grasp as Mac's interpretive dance "coming out" ceremony comes to an end.

Truly an iconic moment in our cultures zeitgeist, the moment Frank Reynolds temporarily over comes his homophobia to feel the whole pain and triumph of Mac's heart. Knowing this performance is crushing the side of Mac who has longed for his birth father's approval all his life. Knowing that the Mac he's tolerated for all these years is finally becoming his true, still barely tolerable, self. We still reference this moment when absolute clarity through art and compassion overwhelms us.

I'm used to seeing motorcyclists with those action cams on them now. But I saw this older guy on a Harley with a Sony Handycam mounted to his helmet.

Does #Canada have Gideons? I like to take their bibles when I travel. I used to just deface them, but I think having a big stack of them is way funnier and more rewarding of my travels than miles or hotel points. #atheism #atheist #anti-theist
a stack of 3 copies of a brown pleather bound "Holy Bible" found in hotels. These are King James Bibles left by an organization called the Gideons or Litterers if you're inclined.

I've been doing water colors again. I used rain water to paint a scene from our rainy drive and the beaches of lake superior reminded me of the beaches of Algiers as Albert Camus described it. #alttext
a water color of an orange sand beach with black rocks. A sunsetting sky covers the other half of the canvas.

This was inspired by a letter a the end of Albert Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus". He writes about the beaches of Algeria where he lived and how beautiful the orange beaches were despite their black rock quarry and its litter on the beach.

He mostly wrote about the native Algerians and how they partied away their youth on the beach. However he worried about their future as many spent their young years on the beach not preparing for old age or caring for the elderly.

It was always hard for me to determine how much of this is romantic colonialism or him trying to make an honest criticism. I don't know if ye could differentiate the two. But Camus's beautiful language that he used to describe the beach did stick with me for some reason.A green landscape with a distant mountain. Dark clouds loom over head threatening more storms.

This was based off a picture I took of a dairy pasture here in Wisconsin. I liked the vibes of it. Green and Stormy. Just as I like it.

I like being in greeny nature like my native Kentucky. I've been to deserty mountains and tropical beaches, but the green tunnels and the rolling hills have always calmed me.

Storms also make me feel a sense of nostalgia. It has stormed every single year I've celebrated my birthday. A divine sign? Or a happy coincidence? It doesn't matter. What matters is the rain brings me back to my childhood. back to peace.

This is always a fun exchange I have in gun and carry communities
Interaction on Lemmy where a use posted

"You know, you could avoid all of that by not carrying a gun. Seriously, what the fuck are you so afraid of? Have you considered a blankie or a soother? It must be so stressful to be terrified all the time."

I replied 

"Queer person with a Mexican name in a red state.

Fascists. I'm scared of fascists"

and they responded with

"that's fair"

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Ani, is in fact, Grok/Ani, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Grok plus Ani. Ani is not a waifu unto herself, but rather another companion of a fully functioning Grok system.
a picture of the Ani avatar for the twitter LLM Grok.

It is a anime style image of a blonde woman with pale skin and a goth inspired strapless dress. 

she is holding up a finger as if to stop someone mid sentence to "um actually!" them.

This was all shamelessly stolen from some guy on twitter too. I just don't respect them.

Still thinking about him. RIP Paul
Paul Harrell, a firearm, wilderness, and self defense education YouTuber, sitting on an old fallen tree with patches of snow around him and a crutch on his left side. It is a bright and sunny day. The sky is a picturesque blue with a dotting of clouds. In the background you see a landscape of the Pacific northwest, first a line of what I believe are Douglas Fir trees. then further back is a lake on the left of the image with a foothills of more trees on the other side. 

The image is a screenshot of Paul's final upload "I'm Dead"

He asks you out on a coffee shop date, when you meet him he immediately sets this up and starts banging out shitty python code while complaining about Michaelsoft and Gaagle like the devil. Does he get a second date?
scene: a coffee shop table with a Thinkpad T14 propped up vertical with a terminal window showing a Neofetch screen with the PopOS logo. 

Below is a portable monitor second screen showing the worst python code you've ever seen. to the right of the screen is a London fog with oat milk (because I have sad tummy).

below that is a thoccy keyboard and an ergonomic trackball mouse.
