Plurality, weird (+)
Been dealing with a subfragmenting issue with the Tohri part of me, and it's been proceeding well, even if it Does mean my sense of self is practically nonexistant on that side.
So well in fact that we're down to talking the cerebellum-local fragment thru what's going on, how to cope and unify, and helping him feel less afraid and anxious.
Except he's like a tiny dragon Otakon from the first MGS game, so everything makes him anxious.
anarchist witchcraft, a short criticism
there seems to be an alarming trend of anarchist witchcraft that does not actually follow through with material praxis alongside their spellwork;
this is dangerous. it encourages inaction and diverts energy away from organizing. thoughts and prayers do nothing on their own.
the role of the witch historically has been not just a spiritual role, but a role of community service & resources. they didn't just "cast spells" or "hex people". they took actual concrete actions to improve the lives of those around them in a measurable way.
In northern Ethiopia, at 130 meters below sea level, in the hottest valley in the world, there exists a series of pools that look more alien than anything that should rightly be found on Earth.
This is the dangerously beautiful Dallol Volcano, and hydrothermal system, found in the Danakil depression. The highest point of the volcano reaches -48 meters above sea level. Brine pools and acidic liquid spout from the ground, building up salt and sulfuric pillars as temporary geysers build them. Here, not two but three tectonic plates move away from each other, causing the land to sink deeper and deeper, and bringing up minerals from deep within the Earth. In the next few million years, the Red Sea will eventually fill the depression.
The word Dallol, in the language of the Afar people, means disintegration. The Disintegration Volcano.
Today, the fuel filter on my car rusted thru and started leaking gasoline. So, I had to stop everything and fix that.
While driving out for the third time to get a fitting to replace a broken and stuck fitting, (In a 3500 chevy rack-body truck) I had a supernatural experience involving getting Possessed.
It says something about my life that this second bit was more a freaky annoyance than anything.
And that the real Sorcery was used to get a fitting into a nylon fuel line.

being a corporation and being a vampire are very similar. both may or may not want to do good, however their physical nature requires that they perform harmful acts to sustain themselves. for a vampire this is drinking the blood of humans, and for a corporation it is the exploitation of humans in order to produce profit and unending growth

Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
