Hello everyone! I've been on Mastodon for a bit, but am starting over on Pagan+!

I'm an atheistc, independent Satanic witch interested in Jungian psychology, tarot cards, and improving the world somewhat.

If you're a queer person living in Appalachia or the U.S. south, we're already friends :bisexual_flag:

This is Freyja, my rescued Maine Coon. She's magical in her own right.

Are there any special librarians on here willing to do a short (30 minute) virtual interview? The info will be used for a class paper.

By special librarian, I mean someone working in a specialized library as part of a larger organization (ex. medical/military/nonprofit/student org librarians, archivists, corporate intelligence, etc!)

Over the summer, Freyja became enamored with a palm tree plushie from a variety pack of toys. I got her a bigger version and she LOVES it :bugcat_love: if she's not looking out the window when I get home, she's cuddling with it :blobhaj_hearthug:

You ever have that moment of realization when talking to someone IRL, that they've never even spoken to a sex worker, trans person, or maybe even person of color? Yet they're still out here acting like they know what's best for everyone

Oh & I just want to clarify "gender is a social construct" because some people interpret that as erasure. What I mean is that stuff like gender and race aren't innate or immutable.

Historically, questions like "who is a woman" and "who is white" were answered by a combination of the church, the government, and slavers, based on whatever was most profitable at the time

An individual's gender is real. Their experiences are real. This "what is a woman, really?" shit is just goofy.

"When I hit puberty, things got really wild. I had all of these feelings pent up inside of me, and in Bullitt County they don’t exactly teach men how to express their feelings. I was sad. Incredibly lonely. Disappointed that I was gay because that meant if my family knew, they wouldn’t love me. Furious that God knew, and because of that, God didn’t love me. I felt caught between being the best little boy in the world and wanting to punch holes in my bedroom walls. I had all of these feelings and nowhere to put them.

And then in 2004, I heard a song that gave me that outlet. A song that unlocked my flair for the dramatic. A song that almost felt like my coming out anthem, even though I wouldn’t come out for another four years.

It was “Duality” by Slipknot."

Also known as "lake flies," "blind mosquitoes," and "fuzzy bills," midge flies are common around bodies of water. I spotted this fuzzy feller on a gas pump by the lake.

They aren't actually mosquitoes and only some species bite, but leaving standing water can create huge swarms that deplete the biomass of lakes and ponds.

The biggest tell that someone has a coward's heart is they always target people weaker than them
