Nah, because suffering is the point. The left has absolutely bought into, maintained, and refuse to give up the exact same ableist eugenicism fascists like MAGA, Christofascists, and conservatives have always believed. They just want to seem like a good person while being just as complicit.
Webcomicname's comic about exclusion, the building of safe spaces for the excluded, and the consistent urge for exclusionary populations to invade those spaces. The first panel has a group of Grey blobs declaring to 3 pink blobs "You do not fit in here". The second panel has the 3 pink blobs creating a yellow square space, responding "okay we will make our own place." The grey blobs charge to the new place, asking "why are you excluding us," a pink blob going "oh no".

Something I haven't been able to say out loud, but have been slowly realizing internally, is how the reason why I need this moment of peace without anyone in my face is cause I spent so long mothering my friends in ways I really needed to do for myself, mainly because that's what I was taught
An screenshot excerpt from Susan Forward's "Mothers Who Can't Love: A Healing Guide for Daughters" titled "Repeating Patterns":
It’s an old cliché that women tend to marry their fathers, but the more eye-opening truth is that we often marry our mothers. That is, in choosing partners and situations in adult life, we are frequently propelled by a strong unconscious need to repeat the familiar dramas that produced the mother wound.

Ngl I've been checking out "Ruling Oneself Out" and, combined with Yurugu, it REALLY paves down how white folk avoid accountability & responsibility for compassionate community building for the future through deliberate ignorance and mutually agreed on compliance with genocidal colonialist violence.
Cover of "Ruling Oneself Out: A Theory of Collective Abdications" by Ivan Ermakoff. The cover features what I think is Germany's parliament during the Nazi Regime, with Nazis filling the room before taking over. The book cover to "Yurugu: An African Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior" by Marimba Ani. It's a grey, black, and red blocked cover, with a drawing of a white zombie reaching to the sky at the center of the book.

Best 101 Books on Divination of Any Kind

- Liz Dean - The Ultimate Guide To Tarot Spreads: another spread book that covers nearly every damn thing!
- Lida Pavlova - The Library of Questions: for weird spreads you didn't think of but somehow work REALLY well

- T. Susan Chang & M. M. Meleen - Tarot Deciphered: really the only tarot reference you need, these are huge fucking nerds who know what their talking about.- Mary Greer - Understanding The Tarot Court: useful if the court cards trip you up, but you may like Ethony's book more!

- Elliot Adam - Tarot in Love: Consulting the Cards in Matters of the Heart
- Shannon Knight - Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow: for shadow work from an actual psychologist!

- Caitlín Matthews - The Complete Lenormand Oracle Handbook: for Lenormand, but there's easier quick shit above. This is more in depth!
- Annette Wakulenko - The Tarot: A Strange and Wondrous Thing: genuinely the best book on reading a Marseille decks, including techniques I use overall for reading. Yoav Ben-Dov's work is easier to find, but I love her book more. 
- Yoav Ben-Dov - The Marseille Tarot Revealed_ A Complete Guide to Symbolism, Meanings, and Methods

Best Reference Books (less for reading, unless you want, and more for just getting shit you need to get to work)

- Herman Slater - A Magickal Formulary Spellbook
- Michele Elizabeth Lee - Working The Roots: mostly rootwork for healing the body, but still useful as a reference
- Raul Canizares - Helping Yourself With Selected Prayers
- Kaitlyn Grana - Ancestral Veneration 101 & Building the Boveda: for a quick ancestral veneration reference, but from an Espiritismo perspective (which often incorporates African practices too). Espiritismo is more common in like Santeria tho, ditto with the stuff from Allan Kardec's books. But there's enough overlap to add here!

I'm of the mind that, if your gonna explicitly go against your own stated goals, you need to be ready to own up to that from the folks holding up and funding Blacksky @rude1.blacksky.team I love Blacksky, but I'm not about to act this ain't some bullshit drive.google.com/drive/folder...
Rudy: "I started using Claude Code January 12, 2026. I launched Blacksky May 24, 2023."
Me: "Frfr, if that's the case, why are folks on the team acting as if it's a necessity if it wasn't used until this year? And why not be openly honest about it's use from the start, at least giving folk the option to say no BEFORE use when we know how these companies are harming our community?"
Rudy: "> Why act like it's a necessity?

Because I wanted to see what people would say if I said that

>Why not be openly honest?

I dont know my users personally and don't want to. That's why I run a sentiment collection tool. Now I know the sentiment. Now I know what I'll do next "

Me: "This whole non-answer deflection is bogus and you know it. We would not be 3 weeks into a democratic process about Al Coding if you still needed opinions on this. Yal definitely wouldn't be informing us after the fact, then acting obtuse about it, if you didn't know it'd get a negative response."
Rudy: "I'm not an elected politician. I'm building a business. I'll build what the users want as quickly and cheaply as possible to achieve the vision I want.

It's a Tyrannical process with a scalable feedback loop."

Me: "Then make that clear instead of pretending you cared about the communal and democratic process you started the moment it included confrontation of using Al that harms our community. What is the point of Blacksky policies on community if your just gonna give Jay 2.0 but Black???"Rudy: "Assembly is my product.

You voted, you used my product.

You get Black trending topics, that's my product. You get a server away from Bluesky, that's my product.

You build relationships on here with other Blacksky members, that's still my product.

I think my product is working how I wanted it to."

Me: "Then you need to make that clear so folks know what their buying. It's one thing to sell a product, it's another to manipulate people into believing you want to build community involving communal input, prioritize minimizing harm, and actually listening to people in the community when you stray."Rudy: "I didn't sell you."

Me: "Once again, the non-answer deflection ain't doing shit here. You sold a concept of a social media based on Black communal input and the needs of a primarily Black audience. When that Black audience disagreed with Claude Code usage, shit you JUST started this year, suddenly your a business.

And not just any business, a business that didn't need, require, or want that input actually when it came down to harmful stuff you admitted you didn't need. You built your own terms of conditions to uphold to, made it your personality, then wanna act like it's a cage you didn't commit to."Serge Bénard: "Isn't this the same attitude people don't like from Blue Sky though"

Rudy: "I don't care how people feel about Bluesky. In a literal way, thats not my business."

Serge Bénard: "You don't care about why people move away from BlueSky?

Kind of a "not learning from history" moment happening here, don't you think?"

Rudy: "I care why people leave centralized apps. Bluesky is not my competitor. We don't have team meetings thinking about how to steal Bluesky's user base.

We think about how to explain decentralized technology to everyday people.

You are not my intended audience but are welcome to be here."

Me: "I can literally find posts directly from you of you saying and acting otherwise. Why in gods name would you say this publicly when I can do that?"

A picture of one of my favorite Queen of Swords cards!
A photo of me holding up the Queen of Swords, my favorite tarot card, from the Marea/Tide Tarot. On the card is a topless Black femme with long white locs, who sits in the clouds with total confidence, her legs open as she lounges. A light blue cloth covers her left arm and drapes down between her legs. In her left hand is the beheaded head of a man turned to stone, representing old traditions and patterns the Queen has severed themselves from cleanly. Behind the Queen is a halo of quartz crystals, framing their whole body.

In the background of the card is my bedroom, where I'm watching John Wolfe play some kinda game I can't remember. Random coats, belts, and robes hang from my bedroom door.

Definitely a shit headline that doesn't really get to the WHY this is happening and it's utility
The landmark vote formalises the separation ​of powers that President Lee Jae Myung and his liberal Democratic Party ​say is needed to prevent political abuse of unchecked prosecutorial power.
The push by ⁠liberals to break up the prosecution service gained momentum after Yoon Suk Yeol, its ​former head, was accused by political rivals of using the institution to gain the ​presidency and persecute opponents.

The conservative Yoon's short-lived martial law declaration in December 2024 became, for many reform advocates, the final argument for dismantling the institution that made him.

The bill's passage caps a ​decades-long fight in South Korean politics to break up the prosecution service. Reform ​calls mounted as prosecutors were accused of targeting political enemies while protecting insiders, with liberals arguing ‌that ⁠such concentrated power invited abuse and weakened democratic accountability.

Park Eun-jung, a former prosecutor and lawmaker from the liberal Rebuilding Korea Party, said the point of the reform was to correct "a shameful history of prosecutors changing the standard of the law to ​suit their political advantage."

Like the framework very much is there, broken down into it's base parts, but it feels like race is somehow this untouchable background noise and defaults to a white experience of gender. Which feels weird as hell for a game with the content and analysis it otherwise has so far.
The societal play specific option for the Pious Daughter Role. Text as follows: Societal Play: When you act innocent and fragile…? 

…say who the tears are for , how you present yourself and roll +GIRL. On a 6-, those around you see you for what you really are. They may Insult you if it pleases them. On a 7-9, anyone who harms you will be harming an innocent young girl, and you may Insult them if they act against you. On a 10+, anyone neutral present will undeniably take your side, and all present will seek to comfort and protect you from potential harm. Anyone who doesn't must leave you alone.

There's a lot of squicks in this game, but it's analysis, enforcement, and rejection of cisheteronormativity is pretty interesting! I do wonder how this would all go incorporating race cause, lemme tell you: I understand this role VERY WELL, but it plays out differently when your Black vs white.

Role Description for Pious Daughter: Go to church. Find a husband. Carry his sperm. Raise his kids. Watch them leave you behind. Love your husband when he hurts you. Die with a hole in your heart. This is the future they imagined for you. This is what the Hawkmoth King delivered you from.

CREATION: Did you find it easy to fill your Role? Options as followed
A: Of course it was easy. I devoted myself to it, body and soul. I was the perfect doll for them. 
(GIRL +1 BOY +0 THING +3 FLAME +0)
B: I knew how to do it, and do it well. I wasn't perfect, but no one is. 
(GIRL +2 BOY +1 THING +1 FLAME +0)
C: I was always a bit of a tomboy. I fought back and found my own way, and never sat easy. 
(GIRL +0 BOY +2 THING -1 FLAME +3)
D: They didn't know how hard I was trying to be their daughter . They never looked at me and saw me for who I was. 
(GIRL +2 BOY -1 THING +1 FLAME +2)

Choose 2-3 you carry on you: Hydroflask, Scrunchies,  Modest skirt,  Lipstick, (in an unobtrusive color), Hair ribbon, Bullet journal, and/or Crucifix

Starting Binding: Which of you was just as pious as I was when we were both younger? Whenever I ask you a sincere question or lay bare my wretched heart, I take a Boon.

Which of you has made lewd or inappropriate comments about me when we were younger? Whenever I put on a show for you or push you away, I take a Boon.

I really loved Resident Evil Requiem but, to be honest, I found Victor Gideon a bit hard to read sometimes! What does that guy want, anyways???
Leon Kennedy, a dirty blonde haired white man in paired down black and navy tactical gear, walks through the wreckage of Raccoon City Police Department, his eyes observing the environment with laser focus. It's then that he notices a note on the front desk of the building, a broken welcome sign spelling out his name laid above it. Leon picks up the dirty note, intent on reading the message so clearly laid for him. The camera zooms in on the note, a powered off laptop in the back. The note says: "I'll take your viral load anytime~ Love, VG"

A heart is drawn around the sender's name, Victor Gideon, his desires laid bare. The camera pans back to Leon, his concentrated frown unreadable.

So, for a minute, I've wanted a cute wide brim hat but got unlucky TWICE on that end due to allergies and having a big ass head+thick hair So I accepted I'd have to maybe sew my own but, after discovering EverCrumbly & Witch, I'm legit thinking of doing a straw hat in my own way
A 7 inch wide brim pointed hat, similar to a witch hat, made of black straw. A black ribbon ties the hat to a white mannequin head fixed in top of a black bedpost stand. Faux pale wood tile lies in the background.

For anybody else who uses 7 day candles over here: definitely check the wick and wax! Some are definitely coming off the line just fubar!
Screenshot of my I post from substack. The post from @Rae says:

Heads up! Whoever said these 7 day candles are being made with just ASS materials was right: I got a 7 day green candle that had a horribly weak wick that can't stay lit, the wax is weirdly soft enough to mush like watery clay/dough, and there's like darker pieces of wax in the wax that look like just pure pigment frfr.

I genuinely tried to carve into the wax enough to give the wick something to actually survive on while lit - tapering it in the jar basically - and it STILL couldn't make it

I got other jars at the same time, same place, and the wicks AND wax were totally different even though I thought the brands were all the same. So good things to look out for!
