nobody warns you this but addiction happens without you noticing and one of the first things that it attacks is your ability to care. if you find yourself using recreational drugs every day, stop and take one day a week sober. if you struggle with this or if you don't see the point of the exercise, you are likely already addicted and you need help.

Im not ok. I’ve been crying in front of the mirror for the last hour.

What am I doing? I’m an adult, why am I still hiding?

My dad told me I need to stop “for now” after he noticed I had makeup on. I didn’t stop I just got better at hiding it.

The others in church continue to throw transphobia around like it’s tennis, not understanding that I’m in the stands.

Im NOT a creep, im NOT a pervert, im NOT a faker. I just want BREATH for the first time in my life.

College can’t come soon enough. I can’t stay here, I’m not safe, I’m not healthy.

Tumblr is my void that I shout at, cry tears into, and hug out of desperation. Every once in a while, it hugs back; I know I’m not alone.

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

Here’s the explanation for this spell for fellow baby witches

Spells come in many forms, including drinkable ones! You can call them potions if you like. They involve using herbs/flavors/scents etc with specific correspondents to fulfil a specific intention.

Honey signifies happiness and positivity and expels negativity, depression and anxiety.

Cinnamon signifies spirituality, success, healing, protection, power, love, luck, strength and prosperity

Milk has correspondents too! Full cream milk signifies prosperity, nurturing, protection, success. Warm milk eases anxiety and anger. Here’s a list of correspondents for non-dairy milk types by @heximari

Citrine is a crystal that boosts joy and optimism, and clear quartz is used for protection and as an amplifier for other crystals.

Sigils are statements of intent drawn up into a little picture which you can write on your skin, on a paper, or in this case, stir into tea, to make a spell work better.

we DO grow old and happy. btw.

Your art is more important than ever!

Art is a destroyer of fascism! Art and music are the single most effective way to reach the hearts of people who don't understand what they're a part of. It's the most effective way to inspire and encourage.

It is the most effective way to call out the horror and atrocities for what they are. It is more effective than news reports, science articles, and even more effective than disinformation campaigns.

When the music stops and art disappears, that is when hope is lost. Until then, keep humming. Keep doodling. Keep us inspired. Keep us encouraged.

I know art usually goes uncommented and often feels unappreciated, but that is because art captures what our words cannot. We love you, and we need you now more than ever!
