while i agree that fascists are scum, i'm not sure that abandoning the larger platform to them and hiding on the smaller one is the solution. if that's your praxis, then what do you do when the fascists come to bluesky?

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

A series of Tumblr posts:

The old magic persists thanks to its unfathomable power."
No, the old magic persists because the new magic can't run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don't want or need onto my orb.

Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.

Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.
The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.
Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.
You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

All of these spoke to me, deeply.

i don't like trump either, but the clip is right there lol. he says 'i appreciate it' to robert, and then he turns to kagan (left side of court) and alito (right) for his next thanks, this is clearly not suspicious lmao

don't like the constant 'let's up sticks and find a new platform' and i think the fundamental problem with it is that billionaires own these things and they're all shit

i assume it's a negative bc it's moving away from healthcare and the experts that can actually advise on it, and it being lumped in with child youth and family signals the govt wants to make the argument that abortion is a moral issue (fetus as child) rather than a right to bodily autonomy for women

It is Egyptologists’ favourite time of the year again.

there should be a way to share a set timer from the clock app with another iphone user. like if for instance i put baked beans in the oven and go to the grocery store but brian is staying here. i should be able to send brian my timer

“it’s only a Māori party protest” my brother in christ, assuming this is true, the smallest opposition party just mobilised 40,000+ people to march on parliament and 200,000+ people to sign a petition in the biggest protest we’ve seen in decades (and certainly under MMP) what a take lol

maybe request a viewing, turn up with the twins, look at the whole place really interestedly, and then look at the unfenced roof and go hmm, that seems like a problem! and leave lmao

i've definitely turned up at open homes bc i was curious and nosey, idk about a requested viewing, but i guess that the eventual commission is to cover dealing with randos like that!
