[image ID: a tweet from elliot HBH era ❤️🩹, @jagblundarr, which reads: "the eurovision admins are on a blocking rampage so that our comments do not overshadow their tweets come eurovision season next week. they cannot block everyone so PLEASE don't let this discourage you from exposing their hypocrisy under their tweets.
ban Israel from Eurovision."
the tweet is in response to Hanna 🇵🇸 , @BRlVlDI, who had tweeted: "end of an era. go fuck yourselves, @ eurovision." along with a screenshot of the eurovision song contest account which says "You are blocked from following @ Eurovision and viewing @ Eurovision's posts. Learn more"
end ID]
as the tweet pointed out, eurovision season is next week, so PLEASE, boycott! boycott the contest, the participating artists, and the broadcasters who are showing it!
until Armenia and Palestine are free & israel and azerbaijan are banned, there CANNOT be a good reason to engage with eurovision. tweet the social media teams, email the broadcasting corporations, make it KNOWN that you are not going to allow them to continue to platform both azerbaijan and israel. send complaints to ofcom, but give the actual contest & music NOTHING - don't hate watch/listen. don't stream the songs. don't even PIRATE it. give them NOTHING, but take EVERY OPPORTUNITY to address the fact that they're allowing genocidal fascists to participate.
BOYCOTT EUROVISION! and boycott the LOT of it!

Types of Witches Masterpost
I’ve seen several of these passed around, but they always feel incomplete. I’ve decided to put together my own version. I hope this is helpful.
Religious WItches - Witches who practice within a religious practice (like Wicca)
Secular Witches - Witches who practice outside of a religious practice.
Solitary Witches - Witches who practice alone
Sonicary Witches - Witches who only exist as the concept of sound
Tweed Witches - Witches who are really into elbow patches
Sandwiches - like a good ham and cheese one would be pleasant now.
Cranberry Witches - Best served at Thanksgiving
Forest Witches - They are in the woods, right now, totally lost
Steve Witches - These are witches named Steve. They tend to collect Dreamcast games and are generally okay unless they’ve been drinking.
Sea Witches - They work with water
C Witches - scpell everytching wcith unecesscary C’s
Gray Witches - only wear the color gray.
Grey Witches - Like Gray witches, only more pretentious
Fae Witches - Witches who work with Fairies
Witches Near Fae Witches - just waiting to see if the Fae Witches weren’t careful enough when they made their deals with the Fae.
Booze Witches - Do their best witchcraft drunk, or at least that’s what they tell you when they ask you to hold their beer. This is what Steve thinks he is. He isn’t. Steve has a problem.
Kitchen Witches - People you should be friends with around thanksgiving
Garden Witches - Work with plants, stronger than they look, seriously – don’t try to fight them. God damn it Steve, leave her alone.
Healing Witches - The people you take Steve to after he pisses off the Garden witches.
Hedge Witches - These are Witches who work with Hedges.
Did I miss anything?

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS
i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.
there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
doing nothing is good for my soul.
i am not defined by what i produce.
my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.
i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.

I think recurring themes in Junji Ito's work generally resembles classical tragedy in interesting ways. Let me explain.
It's like a meme to reduce the themes in Ito's work down to "It sure would be fucked up if XYZ happened for no reason," and that's of course silly and simplistic, but let's look at its nugget of truth. A better way to put it might be, "It sure would be fucked up if [incomprehensible horror] happened to somebody who was utterly powerless to understand or influence things or to do much at all besides bear mute and wondering witness." I think a big appeal of these types of stories is that that's a pretty good description of, like, day-to-day life here on God's own Earth. Shit just...happens to ya, and you don't why, and you can't stop it. How could there be a truer reflection of life than a tale of Some Guy stumbling into a raw deal?
Finding a hole you know you're gonna have to crawl into because somehow you just know it's your hole and it was made for is one good example. Another might be if you found out everybody in your city is dying because God hates you personally and God hates you personally because your wife of 20ish years is actually your mom and you had no idea about any of this.

01: Demeter Chthonia
I sing of Demeter and Kore, wife of Klymenos,
raising the honey-voiced hymn
in the deep-sounding Aeolian harmony.
Fragment of a hymn by Lasos of Hermione, 6th century BCE.
Pausanias is our most detailed source for the famous cult of Demeter Chthonia (of the Underworld) at the remote town of Hermione in the Argolid. This cult is unusual in its emphasis on the role of Hades (who is given the euphemistic name of Klymenos, the Renowned One).
“He reports that the Chthonia festival took place in the summer and began with a procession of all the priests, magistrates, and townspeople, even the children. Dressed in white and crowned with wreaths made from a local summer wildflower, they led a heifer to the sanctuary, where it was allowed to roam about until it entered the open doors of the temple. Inside, four old women rose from their ceremonial thrones and pursued the heifer until one of them cut its throat with a sickle. Three more cows were slaughtered for the goddess in the same way.”
“The indoor sacrifice is very unusual, but can be explained as the result of the strict gender segregation practiced in the cult. The cult statue of Chthonia was so sacred that only the old women were permitted to view it, and the exclusion of men seems to have extended to the sacrificial slaughter, usually a male prerogative.”
“Opposite Chthonia’s sanctuary was that of Klymenos, and the area was famed for its entrance to the underworld, an opening in the earth from which Herakles once emerged, it was said, leading Kerberos.”
