This isn't hyperbole. At least 85 little girls are dead from one of our strikes at their school.

And don't let anyone tell you "other Muslim countries are happy!" until you understand Sunni/Shia politics.

Looks like my lil' poster presentation did the trick, because my fave bookstore emailed me to talk about an unlisted position they might want to hire me for! Got this fortune the next day, so the Gods are clearly doing their thing. ๐

26.02.2026 23:13 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0This is one of the things that angers me the most. Deities like Hekate could potentially go back to ancient Crete, but even some textbooks still show the "snake goddess" figurine without mentioning it was a reconstruction with no evidence for accuracy.

Hopefully it's just an incel loser, but given the Kansas license news tonight, I highly recommend everyone on the #witchsky #occultsky fake MAGA list takes a screenshot of their name on it. If things ever devolve enough to require fleeing, evidence of persecution is required for refugee status.

I'm so glad you do this. I did the same with my humanitarian work. It was awful navigating bigots online while working on the genocide in G. I'd get overwhelmed w/ the trauma, but then remind myself to look at the photos of the kiddos who had full bellies because of the work. Hope it's ok to share ๐ค
25.02.2026 03:07 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I'm so glad you stuck to your gut. Our intuition is rarely wrong, even if we can't always quite place why. You likely protected other members of the group, which ultimately was your biggest responsibility. So whether they realized it at the time or not, I hope those folks feel gratitude to you now.
