Here are some nice mushrooms

I can’t believe my baby girl just turned 1 this week & my son is turning 3 in a few days 🤯 It’s insane how fast time flies! I try to soak up every single moment with them and cherish it above all else. They really are the greatest gift The universe has ever given me. 🥰

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

If you have an idea & you don’t use it.. the Universe *WILL* give it to someone else. So this is your sign to tell your self-doubt to hush! It’s okay if it’s still there, but have it take a backseat. You’re the driver. Lots of brilliant ideas seem a little weird or goofy at first. Go with it!

I personally love when something comes in glass bottles or vials! But a cheaper option for refills would also be nice :)

Oooh ooh sorry for the double reply but they also make little cat hammocks/ beds that you can stick to that window!

Put a little cat bed or cardboard box on top of your desk or up high next to it & she might just lay down & stop bugging you! Cats are always disruptive with desks or laptops because they’re basically like “wow, you’re giving these attention & not ME?! 😾”

I mean I was discussing AI with a relative last week who is in college & they specifically mentioned how their professors are *telling them* to use ChatGPT. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My name is visible here. It’s Hebrew. Because some of my ancestors were Jews that survived the Holocaust. Once again.. Nazi scum don’t count! Have a nice day 👋

And you have every right to. I do too. But it’s not over. We’re still in this. We keep fighting for everyone who isn’t. 🤍

I’m exhausted with hearing about how it’s the fault of non-voters. (I voted.) Like of all people to wave fingers at right now. Useless. I can’t believe anyone still believes this election was all legitimate to begin with.

They hate the idea of women, queer people, BIPOC or the poor having a good time too much. Freedom for me not for thee bs.

grown adult men making excuses for and justifying their OWN misogyny by hiding behind the abstract idealized figure of the "vulnerable teen boy" who is just "confused" by a society that caters to men ever so slightly less than previous generations are absolutely pathetic little worms by the way

No. We’re all reading this hoping you’re not actually raising one. If it’s too difficult to teach empathy & basic decency, get yourself snipped. If you can’t possess those traits yourself or cultivate them, leave society. Full stop. You do not have an excuse to act like a dumb, wild animal.

Not surprised to see on your profile that you’re an artist.. your post reads like something from a novel. In the best way!

Ah I see what you’re saying! Thank you for the clarity.. I didn’t realize you meant alongside them in the same parades. Fair point.

Ari @theherbalwitch.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Some people certainly try though 😆 A few examples would be disdain for easy modes (beyond not wanting to use them), saying certain games aren’t real games or the people who play them aren’t “real gamers”. The latter is usually aimed at anything they think is mostly played by women, of course!

Ari @theherbalwitch.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Hold on.. can you explain or link to more information about why the Shriners are bad enough to be listed alongside the kkk? All I can find is some misappropriation of funds on local levels, them hosting circuses & the fact that it’s men only. What am I missing? Genuinely asking in good faith.

So you watched it & felt like you needed to repeat what she already said? Okay.

I had heard local VA groups usually rent out their buildings pretty cheap & this seemed like the next best thing so fingers crossed that it all goes well! I’m feeling really happy & relieved that things are finally coming together. 🥰 I’m also glad I’m planning so far in advance! Reduces stress.

Ari @theherbalwitch.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

I think I finally found a venue for next year that’s *ACTUALLY* affordable. & not in the fake affordable way where they tell you it is & then want $10,000 to be on their property with nothing included. Shout out to my local fraternal hall! They just recently renovated too so it’s pretty nice 😊

Oh, and by the way, it’s not illegal to obstruct random people with no identification or uniform from kidnapping people on the streets. That’s just being a good neighbor.

Oh my gawd I forgot all about that!! I just remembered really loathing that kid & not being fond of his dad. I loved Gus & the Ukrainian exterminator!

Ari @theherbalwitch.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

I’m still bitter that they recast the son because their logic was they needed a more experienced actor to handle intense scenes but the first kid actor was better IMO. But wait til you get to him basically having a vampire pet if you haven’t already 😆 I’ve been considering a rewatch for years!

Season 1 was pretty fantastic! Didn’t like how they changed directions after that. It had a lot of potential. I immediately noticed that the characters of color are the only ones smart enough to RUN while the white people are always sticking around to investigate.. pretty realistic 😝
