Obama calling out Democrats and others for sleeping through non-presidential elections is something that needs to happen repeatedly until we get the message that EVERY election and EVERY primary and EVERY caucus counts. Virginia has an election on November 7. DO. NOT. SLEEP. THROUGH. IT!!!
Hello fellow Kemetics, I’m here to ask for newbie help!
I’ve been a light worshipper for a few years but due to certain home circumstances, I’ve more or less been more of a worshipper in mind than practice. I’m out on my own now and honestly have very little clue of where to start as far as physical practice. I know ritual is up to the performer but I would like to hear some thoughts from you guys on good practices to keep! I develop very well with inspiration from others.
My primary gods are Bast, Sekhmet, and Ptah. I know a little about offerings, not so much about prayers or anything like that. Honestly any kind of guidance for a beginner helps!
I’m sorry that I rant a lot and don’t make a ton of sense, I’m an introvert. ;; 🐱🦅
If anyone tells you that you can’t be badass, and also girly, don’t forget to tell them that one of the most beloved Norse goddesses, Freyja, was the goddess of beauty, sexuality, and fertility, but she was also the goddess of sorcery, war and death.
Old People Restaurant Scam. You know the scam. Whine about perfectly good food to get some sort of comp.
In their old age, my parents befriended another older couple who would pull this stunt everywhere they went. After my mother told me a few stories about how their new friends had shown them how to get discounted or free meals, I felt like I was suddenly the responsible adult, concerned about the bad influence these people were on my parents.
While visiting my parents with my girlfriend, this other couple attended dinner with us. As I expected, the food was brought to the table and they immediately began dramatically complaining to one another about the quality/taste/temperature/etc. They were making a scene in order to attract the attention of the waitress. When our waitress returned to ask how we were doing, the miserable old bastard who played the lead role in their act took a deep breathe, struck a dramatic pose (with his hand raised to begin gesticulating for emphasis) and bega–I leaned forward and cut him off before he could finish the first word: “Everything is absolutely fantastic. It’s all great! Thank you very much!” She smiled, and began her obligatory “Great, well if you need any–” when he made a second attempt. “We come here all the time an–”. I didn’t acknowledge that he was speaking at all, repeated that all was just as we ordered and thank her again.
He was stunned and thrown off from his routine by my interruption. During this pause the waitress walked away (It seemed clear that she knew what they were trying to accomplish). He turned bright red. I turned to my girlfriend and, smiling and without lowering my voice, stated how pitiful it is that some people could be dishonest, deceitful and put at risk the livelihood of a cook, server or hostess for a pathetic discount or a free early-bird special. My passive-aggressive reverse-parenting broke my parents of the habit in short time.
