reuben 🏳️‍⚧️ they / them

I wish there was a lower case. this seems too loud for how im speaking it in my head

im back babies and went to my first protest today and im v proud of myself for not vomiting out of anxiety :)

i’m going to be using this less

i need to do something for my mental health or i’ll burn out so not going on bluesky might help for a bit

i’ll try to reply to dms when i can ♥️

they literally just ctrl+F “transgender” and hit delete.

I don't think my body realizes how healthy my labs say I am

my back hurts ? is numb ? making me nauseous ? i can’t describe it ? i know i want to cry tho

thank you algorithm/my feed for showing me the eating disorder side of bluesky retriggering that urge to search and everything else i thought i had left that all behind on tumblr but good to know i can find it anywhere i guess 🙃

is my 15 month old going around the lounge shouting monkey noises? yes.

is she showing any signs of slowing or winding down for the evening? no.

does this concern me? yes.

right now i’m rereading all my books, looking for more books and resources and generally “feeling” my way around rebuilding my practice, it’s going to take a while but i’m doing a whole load of unlearning that is has to be reconstructionalist or “done the right way”

i think in the beginning i was hoping for a more “structured” religion like christianity and got misled by misinformation online, so now through fear i am very hesitant to pick up new practices because i hadn’t seen the red flags previously (i’m also autistic and struggle with contexts/etc)

when i first started practicing i found myself desperately trying to find “rules to live by” and got into the NNV and havamal as ‘scripture’… then i learnt about how those came about and the neo-nazi/racist connotations so now i read with a distance between me and the writing

@bbaileysucks.bsky.social it’s us

i hope you don’t mind me asking, do you use the havamal as a “guide to life” like some may use other ‘religious texts’? :) i’ve always been curious how others practice as i’m very very isolated in my own practice

i will check out Larrington’s translation, thank you for the recommendation!!! :D

i really enjoy crawford’s translation of the poetic edda, it feels more accessible than the others (granted, i haven’t read any other ones fully) thank you for sharing these :)
