PSA to my white friends and followers:

In the wake of a phenomenally important guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin Trial, I’d like to remind you all that the fallout of this case will likely mean more police violence against our Black friends and neighbors, not less. Looking at the statistics in the weeks leading up to this verdict shows that this is already the case. Police in this country are angry that society is beginning to hold them accountable for their abusive actions, and they are looking for revenge.

So if you see a cop interacting with a BIPOC, DO NOT walk away. Video record if you can (and as long as it doesn’t further jeopardize the safety of the BIPOC involved), but absolutely do not walk away. It is critical that we do our part and look out for people, and make cops think twice about abusing their powers of authority and near-immunity to murder citizens.

Adding to this that advance research on copwatching strategies, particularly ones employed locally, as laws can very from state to state, is going to be your friend if you try to do this. It’s easy to imagine yourself pulling out your phone and recording an interaction if you were to witness one, but there can be lot more intricacies than just taking a video. Would you know how to respond if an officer confronted you about your actions? Do you know how best to respect the rights and privacy of the individuals you’re intervening on the behalf of, and prevent the situation from becoming additionally traumatic?

If you’re interested in learning more to prepare yourself, so you can be as effective as possible if you witness a scenario that requires bystander intervention, here are some resources on copwatching to look over. I highly recommend reading over them several times and taking good notes – or anything else that will help you commit the contents to memory – because this stuff will escape you in an actual stressful scenario (signed, someone who has attended multiple copwatch trainings and still totally blanked on most of what I learned the one time I’ve directly confronted an officer)

• For those local to the Minneapolis, where we’re very likely to see the highest amount of police retaliation in the days to come, the Twin Cities Worker’s Defense Alliance has a How to Copwatch manual, as well as a printable Know Your Rights zine
  
• United Against Police Terror San Diego has a Copwatching Manual intended to be fairly broadly applicable to copwatchers in the US
• The ACLU offers advice on copwatching in the form of Fighting Police Abuse: A Community Action Manual
• WeCopwatch have a large variety of resources on copwatching and copwatchers rights’ on their site

A fair number of these resources are aimed at people interested in setting up regular copwatching patrols, but even for people primarily interested in being prepared in the instance of witnessing a scenario in which copwatching is necessary, it’s a good idea to do your homework and know how to be the most effective bystander you can. Knowing your rights and other important things to keep in mind will help you avoid being caught-off guard should you end up needing to record an interaction – or aggravating a situation, which is a real risk to consider. I also recommend looking up the specific laws relevant to your own area that these resources may or may not manage to cover.

This spell is to be done in a solitary setting but during synchronized times with magical practitioners and witches around the world. The intention of this spell is to offer protection, healing, and security in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is meant to be a simple candle spell ritual so that people of all traditions can feel comfortable performing this in a safe and private setting.

I would recommend reading and reviewing the following sources. 

• “Witchcraft for Coping With Covid-19: Banish, Protect, and Heal” by Cyndi Brannen.

• “Immunity Booster Sigil – Promoting Good Health” by Laura Tempest Zakroff. The “Immunity Booster Sigil” is something that you can draw during this ritual.

• “Coronavirus Anxiety and the Practice of Sitting In Uncertainty” by Lisa Marie Basile.

Important Note

This spell is not meant to be a replacement for healthy lifestyle choices, impeccable hygienic practices, or professional medical attention. Follow trustworthy guidelines put forward by the CDC and the WHO. Currently, many people are practicing social distancing, which means they are staying home as much as possible and avoiding close interaction with large groups of people. Please be mindful to take care of yourself and your household. We are in difficult times and we need to look out for each other – this spell can help spiritually – but if you are experiencing symptoms of Covid-19 please seek professional medical attention. Magic cannot make up for those not following the basic expectations of safety for yourself and others.

Synchronizing Timing Is Tricky

Finding a time that is inclusive the world-round can be a tricky thing to do. That in mind, I am going to suggest two times to do this to try this spell. If you can commit for one of these times, great. If you can commit to doing the ritual twice, for both of these times, fantastic. Or, if there is a different time best suited for you, then that’s fine too. The first time I suggest doing this is at the exact time of the upcoming Equinox where you are – simply begin your ritual at the time of the Equinox, which you can calculate at this site. This will be in the late evening on March 19th for folks in the US, the afternoon on March 20th for folks in Australia, and the wee hours of the morning on March 20th for folks in the UK. If this is too tricky a time to do a ritual, I would also recommend starting this on Sunday, 12pm UTC, when for many the sun is strong or rising.

Preparing for Ritual

Have a space that you can perform this in that is comfortable, clean, clear of clutter, and private. Prepare for your ritual as you would for any other – whether that’s with a purification bath or anointing oil, setting up an altar, burning incense, meditating, lighting candles, and/or creating a crystal grid: do what is appropriate for you to create a safe space to perform magic in. 

What You Will Need

You must have three candles and a piece – I recommend using spell candles if you have them. If you don’t have these exact items use modifications in their place: votive candles, homemade candles, birthday candles, etc.! The goal is to use what you have available.

• 1 White Candle

• 1 Blue Candle

• 1 Green Candle

• An anointing, blessing oil, or a blend you use for candle magic. For this spell I am using a blend of eucalyptus, rosemary, cedarwood, lavender, and frankincense – recipe to follow.

• Candle holders for each candle

• Something small to carve into the candles with (like a toothpick or safety pin – be careful!)

• A piece of paper (letter size or larger) with a picture or drawing of Earth on it

• A pen (I’d recommend using a gold ink, if you don’t have this use your favorite pen).

Opening the Ritual

Begin your ritual with the practices your tradition calls for, whether that is ringing a bell, taking deep breaths (very important right now), singing a song for protection and empowerment, calling your Ancestors, building a crystal grid to work within (I recommend jade, aventurine, larimar, green or blue calcite) , calling specific Gods and Goddesses you work with, calling the Watchtowers, and/or casting a circle. 

Part 1: Crafting Protection

In this part you are going to work with your white candle. Carve the word “PROTECT” into the candle or symbols that represent healing to you. Anoint the candle with your oil. You may also dress it with protective herbs. Hold the candle in your hands and breathe deeply and slowly, envisioning the candle glowing white. As you breathe in and out envision the light growing to encapsulate you, then your house, then your town, your country, and the planet. Hold in your mind’s eye the visual of a white light protective shield. Feel it creating a boundary between yourself and the virus. Open your eyes, light the candle, and say the following:

“I light this candle to protect those from harm. I see white light blocking Covid-19 from those I know, from those I love, from those I do not know, from those around the world. White light surrounds those who are vulnerable to illness, white light surrounds those who are concerned about becoming ill, and white light surrounds all of in need of protection from this virus! I am protected, together we are protected, so mote it be!”

Part 2: Crafting Healing

In this part you are going to work with your blue candle. Carve the word “HEAL” into the candle, or symbols that represent healing to you. Anoint the candle with your oil. You may also dress it with healing herbs. Hold the candle in your hands and breathe deeply and slowly, envisioning the candle glowing blue. As you breathe in and out envision the light growing to encapsulate you, then your house, then your town, your country, and the planet. Hold in your mind’s eye the visual of a blue light healing energy. Feel it creating a soothing and healing energy through your body. Open your eyes, light the candle, and say the following:

“I light this candle to heal those who are ill. I see blue light filling surround those who are sick, those who are battling Covid-19. Blue light surrounds those who are in need of healing energy. Blue light surrounds those who need to boost their immunity. Blue light surrounds all of those who desire peace of mind and a healthy body. And, blue light surrounds our planet Earth, which needs healing during these times as well. Blue light offers us soothing comfort and healing to prevail. I am healed, together we are healed, so mote it be!” 

Part 3: Crafting Security

In this part you are going to work with your green candle. Carve the word “SECURITY” into the candle, or symbols that represent security (financial, or otherwise) to you. Anoint the candle with oil. You may also dress it with herbs of prosperity and/or the element of earth. Hold the candle in your hands and breathe deeply and slowly, envisioning the candle glowing green. As you breathe in and out envision the light growing to encapsulate you, then your house, then your town, your country, and the planet. Hold in your mind’s eye the visual of a green security blanket. Feel it grounding you, rooting you into planet earth where you dwell in balance and harmony. Open your eyes, light the candle, and say the following: 

“I light this candle to offer security to communities who are in need during these troubled times. I see green light growing around those whose jobs were impacted and need financial support, around those who must continue to work in public, to those who are anxious about insurance coverage. Green light surrounds those who in the medical and service industries. Green light surrounds those who need financial prosperity. Green light surrounds all of those who need to feel comfort and security. I am secure, together we are secure, so mote it be!”

Part 4: Completing with a blessing

Take your piece of paper with Earth drawn on it. Using your pen, write well wishes, intentions for healing, personal needs, or expressions of gratitude to others. You can use the Immunity Sigil or enchant with others symbols that are important to you to protect against Covid-19, heal those suffering from Covid-19, and support those who are in need due to Covid-19. Or, you can write the words “Protected! Healed! Secured!” repeatedly. 

When you are done working with this paper, fold it trifold style (like a letter) twice. If you’d like to seal the paper it closed, pour a very small amount of wax on to the second-to-last fold. Fold the final flap over it. Tuck it somewhere important – whether it be on your altar, under healing crystals, or near your candles. If you are performing this outdoors by a bonfire or by your hearth you can cast it into the hearth.

Announce the following: “Even though there is distance between us I send you all blessings of protection, health, and security. Please accept this as a petition for global peace and healing. So mote it be!”

Closing

During your closing, take a moment to think about those you are grateful for. Look at your candles and thank those you are grateful for. Close your ritual as your tradition calls, whether this be with clapping, laughing, singing, meditation, deep breaths, opening the circle, bidding the Watchtowers/Gods/Goddesses/Ancestors farewell and thank you, or so on. Allow the candles to burn down on their own, ensuring they are in a safe space!

A special thank you:

I will speak on behalf of polish LGBT+ community. Today (10th of July) the president of Poland (Andrzej Duda) signed a law called "THE FAMILY CARD" established to “protect” the children. The law says that for children the most dangerous are LGBT+ people. Alcoholism, pathology, domestic violence or pedophilia are not even mentioned. 

Formally they call us “ideology”, “pedophiles”, “strangers”. A lot of people threaten us. We have to deal with insults everyday. They do not listen to us at all. They want to get rid of us. They use the flag of our country against us! 

They want to protect children by banning sex education. By restricting the law. By restricting human rights. By restricting the individual liberty. 

Please, visit the side I linked below. You will find more info on the site, a controversial video and a petition to sign for free.

Hello beautiful people, hope you’re all well and safe!

For those who know me/follow me for some time, they know about my project Litehouse, dedicated to highlight and promote works of literature and poetry from exophonic writers (people who express themselves in a different language than their native).

Although this endeavour encompassed everything I loved and was passionate aboutm I opt to take a break because of my physical and mental health. My life had been very hectic and crazy and felt I couldn’t handle keeping up like that. This resulted in a prolonged period of Litehouse’s inactivity, freezing many projects and letting down many people.

But like lighthouse, Litehouse was always a bright beam in my thought and they way it inspired and touched people was too grandiose to just let go.

Here I am now, asking for your help. I want to bring Litehouse back to life and make it a project that’s here to stay. To give voice and empower exophonic writers and call attention to this unique lingual form of expression that is so underrated.

But I can’t do this alone.

If you find yourself inspired by the Litehouse’s mission / if you want to get involved or build expertise in an are or just want to build your portfolio or resume, send me pm stating your field of interest or ways you want to get involved.

[Design, Editing, Digital Marketing, Comms, Website, etc]

Without you, Litehouse would have been nothing but an idea. Thank you for all your support you’ve shown me and I hope to read more of your beautiful works soon <3

Hi… I know I haven’t posted a thing for some time now. It is because of couple of things. One, moving out. Two - avoiding DAI spoilers. Three… My little daughter needs serious orthopedic treatment to walk, I can not afford it and I’m gathering all the help I can get. Gosh it sounds like making alliances to fight an archdemon, doesn’t it… I know. On the other hand, what do I know, when I’m feeling like my head was totally empty… Please share this link, so it could reach some good souls.

Hello everyone, this is not my normal post, but I need some help. I’m currently going through the loss of my mother and of course I can’t grieve without gaining financial problems. I won’t be able to afford my medications or gas this month, (I only get paid once a month.) Anything honestly helps, even just a reblog. Thank you to everyone in advance ❤

A note on Patreon “tracking”:

There’s a line in s4s warehouse tab where you can change the name of an item. It usually contains the cloned item identification and then the content’s new name. I’m positive that this is how some creators are “tracking” and doxxing.

While I don’t necessarily support leaking certain content, I also don’t support doxxing. If you plan on sharing content from a creator who possibly tracks in the above manner, simply open up s4s and change the name thing. It won’t affect the item. Save. You can go even further and change up the package name. Better safe than sorry.

When I’m back on my laptop, I can insert a pic of the line in the warehouse tab.

If other creators know what I’m talking about, feel free to reblog with more information / tutorials on how to change this.

I’m a patron of a few creators. After reading others’ comments I decided to extract the texture of a newer item and view it at 100% in PS. Et voila, we have what I can only assume is my patron number embedded within the DST image. Second screenshot adjusted for brightness and contrast. Not sure how to feel about this right now. :/

Yikes

HOLY SHI-!

For more information:

to be tracked you almost definitely have to receive the file through a direct, personal link (because each package must be altered to track the individual being tracked), not the patreon “download” section (which any patron can download from).

These will probably also be from creators who are patreon-exclusive, not early access creators. 

More info guys

Hi!

Please recommend me books that changed your life. I want to refresh my bookshelves and also my mindset.

Big thanks in advance.

Emergency commissions:

My two dogs need a blood analysis for this May 16th, and it will be 750MXN for each one, which means 1550 MXN (around 76 USD). We need to know what’s wrong with them because the results were suspicious in other analyses. If we manage to cover the blood analyses we will also need some money for the medicine they will recept to our dogs, so in the end, they would be needing more than 76 USD, please help us to reach that :(

Pkmntrainersparrow is creating Monthly Mystery Pokemon Cards | Patreon

I made a patreon to do monthly mystery pokemon cards! I have two different tiers and each tier will get a monthly mystery card that can be holo, reverse holo, or regular!

I found this sketchbook in a restaurant and It may be impossible but I want to find the author.

The sketchbook was found in El Albaicín, Granada, Spain and I think the artist isn’t Spanish, maybe a Chinese tourist or someone who are learning Chinese but who knows u_u

In the drawings you can see some monuments of differents sites of Spain, that’s why I think she/he could be a tourist D:

I already tweeted it and a lot of people are sharing (all my love for you guys<3) but I want to try to find him/her here too

F.A.Q:

- Did you ask the restaurant staff if they know it?: I’m the restaurant staff, I work there and we can’t remember who is the owner, sorry

- Did you use the reverse image search in Google?: Yes, I do and got nothing u_u

-Can you check the CCTV?: Em… no…  We don’t have it in the terrace and my boss would never let me see them

- What you could do is put a note at the door of the restaurant saying ‘have you lost…?’ : I’m the only one in the restautrant who cares about this and again my boss would never let me do that.

- If they are a tourist and you just found it recently, they are probably still travelling and might not check their social media as often: Yes, I know, but maybe someone can recognize his/her style or something 

Please, just share and help me to find him/her ;_;

Thank you!

Let’s talk about the 2nd Edition (while my hair dries)

ALT

When I started work on a collection of my comics it was really important to narrate my process with new work.

I wanted the book to be universal and very easy for any reader, so these new comics/pages are VERY cute:

ALT

I refer to this chibi version of myself as “Dollface Justin.” I was forced to adopt this simpler style after a fairly severe injury that upturned my life for about three years.

I am a MUCH better cartoonist now.

In the 2nd edition I’d work to make my narration as interesting (if not more so) than the collection itself.

A 2nd edition would showcase (easily) 3x the comics in the 1st edition. It may also ruffle some feathers.

While the 1st edition might be considered “candy coated,” I would make a point of speaking up about how Trans people are treated and how—seriously—we’ve suffered enough!

And besides that, for every comic of mine you’ve seen? There’s about ten more you’ve never seen. I intend to COMB my work and showcase VERY personal art.

It will be me at my most vulnerable and I am happy to do this if it helps someone. And I know it will. I know this.

I have been blocked from all FB groups just now until Sunday - someone must have reported something I posted to FB. As I don’t post anything bad or against community guidelines, I’m thinking it was probably malicious. ALL my posts are gone - my fics and the lovely reader comments, my fic and podfic recs and links for other people, the artists I promote, my FTH posts to raise money for charity… It’s all gone, and I’m not going to lie - I’m gutted. Hours and hours of labor - gone. Are they pissed about my auction entries? Who knows, but now I can’t promote on FB until AFTER it is closed. There’s nothing I can do aside from ask for you to help - please reblog my links here on Tumblr so these nasty people don’t win

Hi guys. I need your help

A friend of mine recently lost her mum to lung cancer. It was only three months ago when she told me her mum wasn’t feeling well… And she’s gone now.

My friend and her family have done everything in their power to fight this f***ing disease but they lost.

They lost so much.

I wish I could tell my friend “this is just a nightmare, your mum will be back”.

She is devastated, doesn’t even have the strength to text. Her mum meant everything to her.

I am so worried because she’s told me she’s been thinking… things… and I really want to help her.

The only thing I can do is trying to raise some money to help her with living expenses, since she’s struggling with that.

And if you could help me, it’d mean the world to me.

This is my PayPal email:

[email protected]

I haven’t set a goal, but I really hope to raise the necessary amount to make things easier for her.

If you donate, please let me know with a private message here on tumblr and I will be glad to send you a high-res johnlock doodle as a thank-you.

If you can’t donate, don’t worry. I know every one of us is struggling right now. But please share this post as much as you can.

Thank you,

G.
