i realised there was no gender neutral for “my sister from another mister” or “brother from another mother” and so I present to you all “my sib from another crib”
“Hvad har du lavet i weekenden?”
“Eh.. Bare været sammen med vennerne.”
You will need:
Dried rosemary needles
Dried sage leaves
Dried thyme
Handful cedar chips
Fire safe bowl or cauldron
While many people love to buy things second hand to save money, a drawback to doing so is the energy, sometimes negative, which clings to these things and is still present when they become ours. These energies can be cleared easily, and it is preferable to do this on any item we will be exposing ourselves to regularly such as clothing or a vehicle.
Place the cedar chips in the bowl and light them. When they start to smoke, add the rosemary, sage, and thyme. Once everything has caught on fire a little and there is a good amount of smoke, slowly pass the item you are purifying through the smoke. If your item is too large to do this, such as a car, circle the item and waft the smoke around it with your hands. Say: rosemary, sage, and thyme, remove any evil which may dwell within. Cedar, clear this (item) and make it new. Smoke wash away the past. As I will it, so mote it be.
Allow the herbs and cedar chips to finish burning, and your item is now purified and ready for new ownership.

Green Day posted this picture on their Facebook page:
Which, given their history of political opinions, makes sense.
But the comments are fucking wild, man. Like, did these commentators even listen to any of Green Day’s work?
Buddy, you used Green Day as an escape from politics? I don’t think you understand how that works.
Yes, yes, Green Day should stay out of politics. They’ve really been known for the quietness on political events (*sarcasm*).
What are Green Day’s music or public statements makes you think they are willing to sit by and let an authoritarian demagogue rise without protesting that? He hasn’t said “mean things,” he’s a fucking dictator-in-waiting.
But at least some commentators got it:
guys please send me a ✨ and tell me which character from any media i remind you of!! im curious.

no witch succeeds with their spells 100% of the time. here’s a short list of reasons why it could have happened and some solutions
distraction - a spell you’re not invested in isn’t going to have much power behind it. if you’re concentrated more on you. if you cast a motivation spell while planning out your vacation, it’s going to subtract from that motivation.
rosemary replaces everything - supposedly. it supplies general power, but if you add nothing into the spell that has any real meaning to you, then what is that power supposed to do? where does that energy go with no direction?
associations - the correspondences everyone else lists for herbs and stones and planets can be very useful, but sometimes you have a personal conflicting association. perhaps lavender is gross to you, and not peaceful at all. then that dream sachet isn’t going to give you peaceful dreams.
didn’t help the spell - magic does not exist in a vaccum. spells can only do so much, but if you don’t make the effort, it much less likely to work. job spells dont work if you don’t fill out applications, love spells don’t work if you don’t go out and talk to people, and so on.
too many cooks - if you cast 10 love spells, and yet no one is attracted to you, it’s entirely possible they all did work but they all conflicted with each other, and ended up canceling each other out.
shot for the stars- sometimes you try to achieve something, and you set your expectations too high. either it’s impossible, you’re trying from the wrong angle, or you didn’t get as much as you wanted.
cancellation - sometimes a spell may appear not to work when it does, but the results are invisible because it canceled something else out. say you cast a money spell and get no extra cash after several weeks, it could be just helping you maintain your current income and blocking extraneous expenses.
impatience - unless you programmed a working time limit into it, the spell could be working and you just don’t see the results yet. these things can take time.
out of your depth - if you don’t feel like you’re ready to do a spell, your lack of confidence or discomfort can either disable the spell or not give it enough power to work
take a break, ground, cleanse, and give it time. refocus your intentions
contemplate each ingredient and step in the spell, and modify
use the ingredients that you know best work for you, old standards hold up.
think about what you could do to help the spell work. what mundane methods haven’t you tried?
take a step back and look at it realistically. is there another angle you can approach this from, can you break it down into smaller steps?
return to the spells you are comfortable doing, and work from there.
show: loaded
volume: up

Eyewitness, a crime drama on USA that features two lgbt teen leads, is in desperate need of viewers. The show’s creator, adi hasak, has tweeted about how badly it needs viewers, as have the two lead actors, james paxton and tyler young.
adi stated that the show is averaging about 500k, but it needs about a million viewers to have any sort of chance at a renewal. the show was originally pitched as a anthology, but there have been hints that maybe the characters would stay the same, or at the least, the actors could return for the second season but as different characters (think american horror story).
eyewitness deals with issues like internalized homophobia, foster care, addiction, and, of course, features a triple homicide. it does not shy away from showing intimate scenes with the male leads, which is refreshing after watching shows for years that would “cut away” or just make the intimacy “implied.”
the actors are also extremely aware of how important this show is for the lgbt community. they both are very active and informed about lgbt issues and are SO great to their fans.
the first four episodes are available to stream on USA’s website (I do believe any country can watch these right now).
the show airs Sundays at 10/9c on USA. It’s very important that if you’re able to watch, you watch it as it airs.
Not able to watch it? You can still help! Being active on social media about the show is really important! Eyewitness doesn’t have an official twitter handle, but the actors and creator have said to tweet #eyewitness and @USA_Network to promote the show and also to just show the network its popularity.
have you watched the show and just don’t care for it but still care about your friends who watch it? my final desperate plea is if you’re able and willing, please just put the show on your tv and mute it if you really don’t want to watch. I know that sounds kind of sad, but 2016 has been rough, y’all, and this show has been such a bright spot (no pun intended).

sorry boys! the only “d” i crave is death
happy full moon in aries! today i am showing you guys how to make lavender milk ♡ lavender has been prized for centuries for its gentle healing properties & soothing fragrance. as most of you already know, every year i grow lavender in my garden. throughout the season i harvest the plant (when the purple flowers are bright and young), tie the branches together, and hang in a cool dark place to dry. the dried lavender can be used in beauty products, aromatherapy, baking, tea, herbal remedies, spiritual rituals, and in drinks! when ingested, lavender can help promote relaxation and sleep.
lavender milk is floral, pretty, and comforting. the flavour is at once fragrant and light from the flowers, but full, warm, and sweet from the milk and honey. i use nut milk (almond or cashew), because i think the nuttiness pairs well with the slightly bitter lavender, complimented by the addition of raw honey and pure vanilla extract. raw honey, ideally ethically and locally produced, still carries a range of health benefits that processed honey does not. it is antibacterial, antiviral, and soothing. give this recipe a try & experience the healing powers of drinking lavender ♡
ingredients:
♡ 1 cup nut milk (cashew or almond tastes best. if you’re allergic, you can use soy, rice, flax, or oat milk. you could also use a flavoured alternative milk- try vanilla!)
♡ 2-3 tablespoons of lavender, more or less depending on how strong you want the lavender flavour to be.
♡ 1 tsp of raw honey or more to taste
♡ ¼ tsp vanilla extract
directions:
in a small pot, combine milk and dried lavender. let simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes (do not boil- the goal is to achieve a nice infusion of lavender, which involves a longer, slower heating process. you don’t want to scorch the milk or flowers!), longer if you desire a stronger flavour. you’ll notice the lavender beginning to lose its colour. remove pot from heat, strain, and compost the flowers. while it’s still hot, dissolve a teaspoon or more of raw honey to taste, and add the ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. and there you have it, your own lavender milk! fragrant, soft, and delicate. let it lull you to sleep or incorporate it into your relaxation routine. you can try this recipe with a variety of other edible flowers, like rose, chamomile or borage, or a blend of flowers! nothing will make you feel more like a princess ♡

This is a fake. Sorry. And it’s slowing down real donations.
(Snopes says they’re reaching out for confirmation but I can tell you that I just donated to the legal fund like four hours ago (11/10/2016) and they’re not in the clear yet - they’re also accepting Paypal donations but they’re only 75% of their goal on the crowdfunding website. Lawyers are expensive, legal fees are expensive, they arrested well over a hundred people and are trying to stick them with felony charges. Bail alone is four figures. Please don’t let them disrupt NDN lives and break up NDN families and social structures with a prison sentence - not any more than they already are.)
Six things you can do to help
oh my god
WHITE. PEOPLE.
I wish people wouldn’t make posts about how to deal with tear gas/protests unless they actually know what they’re talking about.
I am a trained street medic and I’ve personally been tear gassed more times than I can count.
- Do not use soda or water to wash tear gas out of your eyes. Use a combination of liquid maalox and water, 50:50. That’s what works.
- They can literally tear gas you anywhere you stand in relation to the police because riot cops have gas masks. I’ve been tear gassed within five feet of the front line of police. They do not care.
- Before my very first protest I asked my friend who’d been doing this for over 5 years if I should soak my bandana in vinegar. She laughed and said, “I have no idea who started that rumor but it’s never done shit for me or anyone I’ve ever known.”
- If you are bulimic or have chronic vomiting, please keep in mind that the mucus membrane in your throat is a precious tender baby and you will be much more effected by tear gas than everyone around you and you will feel it in your throat for weeks afterwards and NO ONE EVER WARNS YOU ABOUT THIS.
- The police probably won’t zip tie you with your hands in front, they pretty much know how easy it is to break out of those.
- People with asthma should always carry their inhalers because that shit is real bad when you get sprayed with tear gas.
- Never go to a protest alone. Always have a buddy there and always let someone who isn’t going know where you are, your legal name, and your birthday so if you get snatched they can check the jails and the online database for you. (note: this does not work when they grab hundreds of people at once or sometimes they just never put your name in the database yay!)
Seriously y'all, this is not the time for posturing. If you don’t know something, ask a street medic or google it.

I’m pretty sure no sane human needs more information to vote for someone else and prevent the next dictatorship.
Your Soul/Higher Self This card describes your true self, your highest self. It could give you clues to if you are a starseed, indigo child, your aura color etc. This is who you are when the barriers of human and physical life are not limiting you, love is guiding you.
Your Unconscious Mind This will tell you what your unconscious mind is trying to tell you. You already know this but your unconscious mind trying to bring this message forward at this time. This is meant to enlighten you and connect you to your higher self or your life purpose.
Your Life Path/Purpose This describes what your focus in life is about. What you can give back to the community. How you can grow spiritually and personally. What your purpose in this lifetime is.
This is the first spread I’ve made! I’m so excited! Please don’t repost/claim as your own.
A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life. Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes.
