Memento Mori πβοΈ
i watched the livestream of trump signing executive orders and answering questions from the press. here are some of the big ones + other things mentioned today:
trump declared a national emergency at the southern border + is getting the US military more involved in stopping "invasions including mass migration"
no one can declare asylum in the US
all existing appointments for people wanting to legally become US citizens are canceled
birthright citizenship (aka the 14th amendment) is now gone
ICE sweeps beginning "soon," not specifying when (though there are rumors it's starting tomorrow in sanctuary cities such as chicago)
mexican cartels are now designated "foreign terrorist organizations" and trump is not opposed to US troops entering mexico to eliminate them
he restored the death penalty for "crimes committed by illegal aliens"
biden had signed an executive order attempting to stop cops from using chokeholds or doing no-knock warrants. trump just revoked that order
25% tariffs on canada and mexico begin on feb 1 2025 β expect a lot of produce imported from mexico to get more expensive soon
tariffs on china will begin soon, not specified when
trump said he intends to take back the panama canal, did not specify when or how
january 6 insurrectionists are to be immediately released/pardoned
he pardoned the leader of the proud boys
tiktok has a 90 day extension, during which the US gov will try to buy 50% of tiktok. trump said he no longer cares that china is "spying on our young people," but he wants to buy half of tiktok so the US government "can police it a little bit, or a lot." if tiktok will not sell, it will be banned in the US again.
he claims the people of greenland want to become part of the US
he says the gulf of mexico is now to be called the "gulf of america" + denali is now to be called "mount mckinley"
alaska is to be mined and become the US' main source for fossil fuels
the green new deal and "electric vehicle" (green energy) mandates are over
the US has withdrawn from the paris climate agreement
the US has withdrawn from the world health organization
reproductiverights.gov is already gone
the US now "only recognizes two genders, male and female"
trans women prisoners are to be housed in male prisons; gender affirming care for prisoners is gone
self-identification for gender on passports, government IDs, and social security cards is gone
all federal employees are required to work in the office five days a week, no more working from home
trump said the US is going to "pursue our manifest destiny into the stars" and plant a US flag on mars
sources on what executive orders were signed: one two three
and lastly, some things that happened during the inauguration:
the pastor who blessed the inauguration during the swearing in ceremony has already announced a new meme coin/cryptocurrency
trump did not put his hand on the bible + there are rumors the pope is going to say trump is the antichrist
the wealthiest people on the planet β the CEOs of twitter/tesla, amazon, google, meta, and even the CEO of tiktok β who own almost all communication platforms used by westerners β stood directly behind trump as he was sworn in
elon musk, the wealthiest person alive, who has been given his own vaguely-defined US government agency, did a nazi salute on stage at the presidential podium. neo-nazis are already celebrating
i know its been said b4 but growing up suicidal and then reaching an age you never planned to live to is extremely stressful and terrifying, and we deserve more credit for not killing ourselves and THEN having to make up for the time we spent not caring if we lived or died and not doing work to improve our lives.

Iβve been wanting to use some magick since the last time I almost burned down my kitchen so here we go.
Baking or cooking magick is wonderful way for witches in the broom closet to create and discretely practice.
TBH this recipe went haywire so I randomly threw some more stuff in oops.
What youβll need
For cookies
2-2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
2 sticks of softened salted butter (add 1/4 a pinch of salt if you donβt have salted butter)
3/4 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 cup of chopped almonds
Pinch of Cinnamon
For icing (optional)
3/4 cups of powdered sudar
1 tablespoon of milk
A dash of vanilla extract
Recipe
Beat the butter until fluffy, then add sugar. Best until combined
Add almonds, cinnamon and 2 cups of flour, mix until combined
The mix should be crumbly and not a dough yet. Slowly add milk until dough consistency.
Use the rest of the flour for your hands and break off pieces to form crescent shapes
Place on cookie sheet and cook for 15 minutes.
In another bowl mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Add more powdered sugar or milk for desired consistency.
Allow cookies to cool then dip into frosting while still warm.
Random notes
You can light candles in your kitchen, cleanse your space before cooking or add anything that you find fit.
I left some of these cookies on my alter and brought some to a friends party, this was the first time I successfully baked some Iβm pretty proud.
I wish everyone a blessed new year ~
