Dear Tumblr,
We are writing to ask you to consider adding a ‘Conservation’ or ‘Environment’ featured tag.
We’re not outright asking. We know that featured tags are those that have a certain amount of traffic, but please consider the following:
1. The field of conservation is wide-ranging. As a result related content is tagged under a mix of...

lindentea:
Thing is, “trans women’s penises are (potentially) triggering!” is a trope that has long been used to exclude trans women from women’s spaces. This is not merely a harmless act — this means that trans women have been (and continue to be) turned away from from homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers as well. There is real violence occurring to trans women...

1. Your body doesn’t lie. You might say, “I’m relaxed!” or, “That pressure is great, you can work deeper,” but your body may tell a very different story. What goes on in your muscles, with your breathing, with your pulse is the truest you: the you that even you might not know yet. It’s a good thing to get in touch with. You’d feel much better if you listened and let your words match...

Daily Pagan News: Should There Be Freedom Of... →
pagannews:
I was really freaking angry yesterday. I’m still processing my feelings of betrayal and being used over this issue, and angry to see so many people putting their agenda ahead of logic, reason, facts, and other people’s rights.
In trying to cool down and start seriously thinking about this whole…
This is a really good read, and I 100% agree with this poster.

This covers the different roles of group members and what is expected of them.
They came out of my many years of being part of and of leading groups, everything from being a sorority Pledge Mistress to Camp Director to teaching Wicca 101 and 102 groups. Every group has things in…

Hadean Press: A Conversation With Jake... →
Below is an excerpt from a Hadean Press blog post. It’s quite a good read, though I do call into question Stratton-Kent’s characterization of Dianic witchcraft as “practiced mostly by militant lesbians, and is more concerned with hatred of men and an offbeat religiosity than effective magic.” To me that is of course ridiculous bullshit; he seems to fundamentally...
violet-catmint asked: Is it possible to believe and 'trust' in spirits, but at the same time fear if you feel them? I'm often afraid to come into contact with a ghost, but at the same time I consider ghosts to just be a different form of spirit, but the few times I believe I *have* felt a spirit, I didn't 'feel' afraid, but I felt like I should have been.
fleshfailure asked: i was a medium before i realized i was a witch. at about 4-5 i started to play with my step-grandfather in my basement although he had been dead. i enjoy spells and studying my craft, but communing with the spirits and recieving my visions are daily life. what is your stance on witchcraft being hereditary? all my grandfather's sisters and my mum are sensitive to the spirits and my older...
lunaseas asked: hey! I was wondering if you had any advice/resources/etc. re: communicating with spirits and deities. I began communicating with a spirit that gave me a strong impression of being a goddess yesterday during a clairvoyance workshop, and I feel like I need to educate myself more on this. any words of wisdom you could pass my way would be appreciated.
obscurites asked: Hey there, do you know of any budget friendly online stores (other than azuregreen, capricorns lair, etc) to buy supplies and tools from? Thanx! (Awesome blog fyi =D )

neondark asked: I've been the butt of many ethnic, sexual orientation, even gender, jokes. I'm not offended by them. I laugh. Is this, in your opinion, an empowerment of the individual or an individual failure to feel slighted and do something against a perceived injustice (this perception belonging to other people)? It is neither (versus both) for me, but I'm curious about your opinion. :]
diint asked: You are definitely taking a joke way too seriously

WHY I HATE LADY GAGA
It’s not every day I get reminders of why I am not a fan of Lady Gaga, but today is one of those days. See that tweet up there? Yep! (Here’s a link for you to click so you can see I didn’t make this shit up.) To be honest, there’s a lot of reasons why she’s deeply problematic. A lot. But I won’t get into those today - we’ll just talk about this tweet.
