Calling the Fates to Hex Nazis

A spell for magical activism

February 20, 2025 With the upcoming German election (on Sunday) and what is happening in the US and other countries, I have been doing this spell every day. I am going to continue to do this, because this is a long-term spell. And I cannot count any more how many antifascist petitions I have signed. I can't go to protest marches (because of my disability and chronic illness), so I do what I can from home.

Maybe you'd like to join me and try this spell yourself? I tried to keep it as simple as possible (for instance the ingredients), but it still should be powerful.

Call/email your Senators and Representatives. Even Especially if they're Republicans.

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

We have GOT to stop being assholes to people with receding and balding hairlines. There's not a single person that it can't affect. It affects trans men, particularly on hormones, it affects trans women, particularly those not on hormones, it affects people with endocrine issues, something that's becoming more prevalent and common, and it can affect people without a particular cause, including cis women. It's a normal part of being human and we NEED to stop dehumanizing and humiliating ppl for it

Michael Rosenbaum has a phenomenal podcast that I have been on once before when I was promoting Still Just A Geek. He was one of the people I hoped I could talk to about It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton, because I knew he'd get it, but mostly because I just really enjoy his company, his energy, and how safe he made me feel when I was there.

I am his guest this week. We taped this the day after my podcast released, which feels like a lifetime ago, but was really just a month or so.

We talked a lot about my recovery from child abuse and exploitation, how I show up for myself whenever I am able, and how I'm doing the best I can to be the parent I never had.

We also talked about my new podcast, and a lot of stuff that isn't in this big old bag of trauma I'm lugging around.

A large part of the reason families were bigger in the past was because marital rape was not considered rape and birth control/abortion methods were ineffective, dangerous and/or illegal. We can dance around this and act like our great great great grandmothers just loveddddd being mamas so much that they decided out of their own free will to have 11 children. We can pretend that they DECIDED to have big families because it was a financially advantageous decision so they could have more labor around the farm. But a lot of children in the past were fundamentally unwanted and not conceived out of love, children were not a choice women got to make. We need to admit that and stop pretending historical women were inherently more maternal because they were impregnated at the age of 15 and kept having babies until they were 40. That did not make them loving mothers, it did not make them ‘the divine feminine’ and it sure did not make them happy.
