⛪ 𝐅𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐲: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓 🧝🏽♀️
[original post here]
The Hierophant is a card about traditions and institutions, and I have a contentious relationship with it because of its ties to the patriarchy. 😖
The thing about institutions is that they endure because they tend to oppress certain groups of people to survive (women, LGBTQ+, people of colour, etc).
Oppression is used to enforce tradition, which means that in longstanding institutions, there is a 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏.
----
𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 + 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥
It’s sad because these weren’t evil to begin with, and are actually quite well-intentioned, e.g.:
📿 Religion is not inherently evil
📿 Family is not inherently evil
📿 Establishments like the academe, workplaces, etc. are not inherently evil
But they become evil because the people in power (i.e. old, straight, white men) use tradition and institutional hierarchy to cling to power:
🚫 The church oppresses women and queer people
🚫 Family says your elders can disrespect you and get away with it
🚫 Institutions use POC for labour while paying them less + blocking their way up the ladder
----
𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞
But this card from the #WhiteNumenTarot turns that around, because The Hierophant isn’t an old, straight, white man—it’s a proud, sensual, empowered woman of colour. ♀️
The female Hierophant invites us to examine existing institutions and traditions, and see how we can drag them by the ear into the 2020's.
She says, there is good intention here, but the community and structure we’ve built around that needs to evolve into something more modern, inclusive, and dynamic. 🌀🌀
The female Hierophant, in sum, is an invitation to be an instrument of change in the institutions and communities we move in. A huge challenge, but a necessary and worthwhile one! 💪🏽💁🏽♀️

Absolutely fascinating social phenomenon that every year on sept 11 following 2001 for YEARS we replayed extremely graphic footage of the event all day in schools with little to no actually teachable context for the students who were too young to remember it, unintentionally creating these odd aftershocks of trauma for people who weren't alive for it.......compared to today where the hot topic in school is banning books deemed """"inappropriate"""" for kids
Another fascinating phenomenon I've noticed just this year is that lot of people too young to remember for some reason seem absolutely SHOCKED that yes we actually did see everything happen live in front of our eyes as it happened and remember it clear as day, which fascinates me because I know a lot of them are old enough to have experienced the first phenomenon and if anything I would have thought we're MORE plugged into catastrophe as it happens with social media and cameras in every pocket on every street around the world. The only thing I can think of is we lost that unity in broadcast journalism and now they can't wrap their heads around it??
#september 11#9/11#i do think we have to communicate the gravity and impact of it somehow#and that reactionary policy isn't logical and can't be logicked away#but if the jumpers were deemed appropriate for kids to see there isn't a book on this earth they can't handle#i was only 6 but i did see it live and remember it very clearly and gathered enough context just by listening to the adults talk around me#so i cant even imagine what it was like for this ghost to haunt u through so many people around u so strongly#without some kind of first hand experience yourself#what a weird liminal space that must have been emotionally#its come up a lot this year for some reason like ive been thinking about it all for months

Encanto 2023 Day 11: Liminal
Tonight was the night of Isabela and Dolores’s quinceanera, and since their birthdays were so close, Alma decided to combine them. Not only that it saved the family a lot of time and money, but it also helped in not overwhelming the family in planning two separate parties within a couple weeks from each other.
Isabela and Dolores sat in Isabela’s room together with their pink dresses on and their hair in updos and curls with little diamond barrettes all over their hair. Julieta and Pepa came inside the room to see their daughters sitting on Isabela’s bed together, looking at each other, then at their mothers. They smiled and walked over to them with their clunky dresses and gave them a hug.
“How are you feeling, mijas? You look a little nervous,” Julieta mentioned.
“We’re feeling a little bit nervous. It’s just that we are the first ones of our siblings to have a quinceanera, and although we’re having it together, we still feel like we’re going to make a fool out of ourselves,” Isabela explained.
Julieta and Pepa hugged their daughters once more as they made their way to Isabela’s bed. The mothers put their hands on their daughters’ laps. “It’s okay to feel this way; you never had another family’s quinceanera to be at so you could get a feel of what it was like, and we were the same way when we were your age,” Pepa explained.
Isabela and Dolores looked at their mothers and smiled at them. “Were you just as nervous as we are now?” Dolores asked.
“A little bit, what we do remember was us being in my room together at this very moment, right before the party started,” Julieta explained.
-------------------------------------------------
Julieta and Pepa sat in Julieta’s room together, with their sparkly pink dresses on and their hair done up in their best by the best hairdresser in the Encanto. They sat on Julieta’s bed to gaze in the mirror across the room and appreciate how beautiful they both looked.
“Wow, you look so beautiful,” Pepa said to her sister.
“So do you,” Julieta replied.
“Do you think there might be a possibility we might trip and embarrass ourselves in front of the entire Encanto?”
“Why would you say that?”
“Because this is a big transition for us. I know the whole Encanto has been at all of our birthday parties since our gift ceremony, but this is the first one since then to have this much pressure put on our backs.”
Julieta hugged her sister and Pepa hugged her back. They sighed in unison and looked at themselves in the mirror when they were done. Alma opened the door in the middle of their moment to see her daughters looking at themselves in the mirror and smiling at themselves, twirling in front of the mirror and laughing together, trying to swallow their anxiety the best they possibly could.
“Hola, mijas; the party’s about to start. Are you ready?” Alma asked.
“We are, we’re just a little bit nervous,” Julieta admitted.
“Why are you nervous?”
“Because this is the biggest transition in our lives since our gift ceremony. We’re scared we’re going to embarrass ourselves,” Pepa explained.
Alma came into the room and sat on Julieta’s bed. “You both seem like you’re excited, though. I just saw you twirling around in the mirror a couple seconds ago.”
“We’re excited too; well, nervous and excited. We feel like princesses right now, but we’re also scared because we don’t know how it’s going to go,” Julieta explained.
Julieta and Pepa went back to the bed to hug their mother. “I just wish there was a way to relax ourselves before we go out there,” said Pepa.
“There was this one trick your abuela taught me on my quinceanera when I was your age. It’s been passed on for generations. First, let’s sit on the floor in a little circle,” Alma explained. Julieta and Pepa did as they were told before Alma joined them. “Now, we hold hands, and close our eyes. And we take a deep breath, and squeeze our hand in the circle clockwise. Do you want to try? I’ll start.”
Alma, Julieta, and Pepa held hands and closed their eyes, as Alma said. All three women breathed in simultaneously and held it in. Alma started by squeezing Julieta’s hand, then Julieta squeezed Pepa’s hand, and Pepa squeezed Alma’s hand. The three women let out their breaths simultaneously once Alma received her squeeze.
“Do you feel more relaxed?” Alma asked.
“Si, we feel a little bit more relaxed,” Julieta replied.
“Do you feel like you’re ready to do the ceremonies?”
“Si, we think the quinceanera will be fun,” Pepa added.
Alma hugged her daughters before making her way out of the room. “The party should be starting in ten minutes. I will be in front of the stairwell to start the party.”
Once Alma closed the door, Julieta and Pepa smiled at each other and held their hands. They approached the door and looked at each other once more.
“Are you ready for this?” Julieta asked.
“Absolutamente,” said Pepa.
-----------------------------------------------
“Do you want to do the exercise right now? I’ll start,” Julieta asked.
“Si; I think it will help,” Isabela said.
The four women then sat on Isabela’s floor and held their hands. They closed their eyes and took in a deep breath simultaneously. Julieta started the chain by squeezing Isabela’s hand. Isabela then squeezed Pepa’s hand, Pepa squeezed Dolores’s hand, and Dolores ended the chain by squeezing Juleita’s hand. Once Juleita got her squeeze back, the four women let their held breath out and opened their eyes.
“How do you feel?” Pepa asked.
“We feel so much better. Gracias, mami,” Dolores answered.
Right on time, Alma knocked on Isabela’s door and opened it slightly. “Isabela? Dolores? The party’s going to start in ten minutes. Are you ready?” she asked.
“Si; we’re ready,” Isabela replied.
“Okay, Julieta, Pepa, we’re about to announce the start of the party.”
“Okay, mama, we’re coming,” said Julieta.
Alma, Julieta, and Pepa made their way out of Isabela’s room and closed the door. Isabela and Dolores looked at each other again and smiled before looking straight forward and making their way out the door.
“Do you think we can do this?” Dolores asked.
“Absolutamente,” Isabela validated.
The cousins made their way out the door to see the entire Encanto downstairs talking and chatting with each other before Alma stopped them by making her way up Casita’s stairs and placing herself in the middle so everyone could see. They could see Luisa, Camilo, and Mirabel at the very bottom cheering them on and Felix and Agustin next to Pepa and Julieta waving at them. The cousins squeezed each other’s hands and smiled once more as they made their way to the side of the rails.

Watching the episode where Illumi explains Alluka's power to Hisoka and HIsoka's like "Oh, so either way Gon's going to die?" and Illumi is like "........" and it's like Illumi, I am on the floor. Killua is not as close to you as your delusions wish him to be
#i would fight illumi behind a 7 11 at 3am using the powers of liminal space and being a good older sibling#illumi plz#liveblog#hunter x hunter liveblog#i'm watching ep 139#hunter x hunter#hunter x hunter 2011

Quick break for something a lil different
Subject 11-11 Affectionately referred to by personnel as “Levy”
That friend I mentioned is making a whole story on this sirenbrand, for an scp au type thing. I’ll post his ao3 under this post, once it’s finished :]
#tw tribetwelve#cursed images series#my stuff#couldn’t find credit for these liminal space pics#He named it subject 11-11 because apparently the number 11 is significant to tt#and I brought Levy to the conversation because I am a chronic nicknamer#slenderverse#tribetwelve#firebrand tt#mermay 2023#Ad break#Now back to our regular scheduled programming

#i think the universe should give me a motorcycle soon so i can just go out at 11 pm when no one's on the road and just drive#i feel the Urge to Go constantly but it comes in different flavors so i've been trying to like. sort it out#because there's liminal space escapism. and then there's the driving down the highway feelings. and then there's also night drive escapism#1 and 3 kind of go together but they're still different. anyways.#i love my car so much but sometimes you just need to feel cold air yk.#this is slightly related but not Really but#one of the things i want to do most is just drive out to the middle of nowhere. like someplace you can see space Really Clearly. and then#just park and lay back and take in as much of it as i can#maybe it's not a unique bucket list thing but it doesn't have to be bc i think that'd fix something in me. just like a motorcycle night#drive............. (/hj)#seriously tho. i need that so bad it's not even funny skdjfhg#sap says#might del later

The welcome home thing is like. A plant or something right. Some cunts ocs and they have like temu plushies now. At least poppys playhouse had a game and 100000 gen z fans it makes no sense why this shits so unavoidable
#it's not even like 11 year old with matpat brain thats driving the bus this time it's 31 yo liminal space bloggers who watch art memes.#so it's not even me cranky because the creatively bankrupt childrens media isnt targeted to me.#it's that it's the same creatively bankrupt childrens media is masquerading as something other than that. why. who is buying this.#sticky notes

honestly .... the master always went too easy on yaz? it would have been so easy to poison her against thirteen with like... just simple biographical facts sdlkfjs
#just washing-dishes-thoughts (not as catchy but just as liminal)#like just every variation of 'she's not that into u :) (also genocide)' would work#basically what missy did but turned up to 11 (and also it would actually work on yaz dfkf unlike w/ clara who had a high bullshit tolerance
