As someone who raised a whole litter of them in high school, I can absolutely confirm all of what is in this video is true. Goldens are the himbos of the dog world.

Aside from risking damage to the statue, what's the problem?

Ravens are circling for the battles ahead. Prepare now, cast your vote, & expect this winter to be a season of struggle. Above all else, fight like the future is on the line. May Odin give victory, Thor strength, & Loki cunning to break the fascist storm & bathe the land in the light of liberty.

It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

In fairness, they've gone out of their way to give left-wing transgender witches plenty of reasons to hate Trump.

Always remember that fascists need to get lucky all day, every day to stay on top. Their power depends on appearing invincible & untouchable. That's why antifascists just need to get lucky once.

Happy Spooktober everyone! Let's start the month off with a short explainer on Helheim, the Nordic death realm where most of us will go and why it is often misunderstood. #HeathenSky #PaganSky #WitchSky #OccultSky #Religion #Spirituality #Spooktober #Death

The wall has been stopped, albeit perhaps not forever, in Texas. It's also been stopped for months in Arizona. But over here in Ca our sacred and wild spaces are being desecrated and our politicians are doing the square root of fuck all. That doesn't mean we have to wait for them.

Yall wanna see a 2 hour old highland cow

My my my, if it isn't the first personal consequences of his actions. He should count himself lucky, seeing as he deserves a cell in the Hague.

Whelp, I guess that means I'll be voting for Newsom to be stuffed into a wicker man.

I guarantee the goal behind this is to turn chaplains into commissars. Whether that succeeds is a different question. Also, expect every non-far right Christian chaplain to get the boot in record time.

also. the thing people hate is not ‘the technology’ it is the tech industry. they hate move fast and break things. they hate having everything they say tracked and processed while companies do whatever they want. they hate every single ideological value that animates silicon valley

As someone whose faith tradition venerates Yule and the Yuletide as our most sacred time of year, this whole mess & everyone involved can fuck ALL the way off. That's before getting into their Cthulhu Machine God shit.

So happy to be finishing up another successful conference at Harvard Divinity School! As always, Dan McKanan and the Program for the Evolution of Spirituality made an amazing conference that made & affirmed many great friendships & exchanges. May it grow & thrive! #PaganSky #HeathenSky #WitchSky

Once again, I must point out that Captain Planet villains were more nuanced, justified, and sympathetic than our current crop of fascist oligarchs. And said villains include a Dr. Blight, who built a time travel machine to team up with actual Hitler.

Happy Fall Equinox everyone! #HeathenSky #WitchSky #PaganSky #OccultSky #DruidSky
