I see people talk about wanting more platonic male-female friendships and honestly that’s just another thing Only Murders In The Building does right. Of course there’s Mabel and her guys. A multigenerational friendship we don’t get to see that often.

But I was actually thinking about Sazz and Charles’ friendship when I started this post. They’re best friends, they’re family, they compliment each other as actor and stunt double. I just really like their relationship. She’s a lesbian. She stole his ex. She helped him make friends. He gave her a shot when no one else would.

It’s so important.

only murders in the building is honestly like The fun little show. it’s so weird and so unlike anything else. the odd trio casting of two incredibly famous comedians in their 70s with Selena Gomez. the main plot revolving around true crime podcasts. the level of complete contrivance and silliness necessary for the entire plot’s existence. certain disability representation i haven’t seen anywhere else on TV. surprise bisexuality. the mystery-comedy-??? genre mix. Jane Lynch as a lesbian lookalike of Steve Martin. the most insane celebrity cameos so sudden and jarring that you get jumpscared at least four times every season. Nice, Hot Vegetables.

Repeat after me:

The first draft just needs to exist

The second draft needs to be functional

The third draft needs to be effective

The first draft just needs to exist

The second draft needs to be functional

The third draft needs to be effective

The first draft just needs to exist

The second draft needs to be functional

The third draft needs to be effective

Remember, the second and third can't happen if you don't have something to work with. Your first draft will always be shit compared to your third, but at least it exists. The worst first draft is an unfinished one. The best first draft is a just completed one.

You read books/stories not in their first draft form-- only in their finished form (third, fourth, sometimes fifteenth draft). So stop comparing your first draft with a final one.

So, just write--you can make it better later. Perfectionism is the greatest weight a creator can carry.

A Pomegranate For Sekhmet (Poem)

(Aka: A Devotional Act)

Bite and rip and tear, stain my lips and hands and hair, burst and bleed inside my bite, rubies torn from fleshy white. The energy a heartbeat in my hands, a feat of violence on an effigy to hold my hate and envy as I Rage, Rage, Rage. A heart--at least, a substitute-- pulses weak as I consume. Plucked, like I have claws, or a swathe gone to my jaws: the seeds sting my tongue. I have no mercy. I'm not done, I Rage, Rage, Rage, Until my hands drip with the slaughter, and my chin is crimson-covered, my counter strewn with carnage: Until I sate the rage.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

February. Cool sheets and warm limbs. Champagne truffles. Lace bras. Long afternoons in the library and evening dance courses. A full agenda. White chocolate. A trace of perfume on a cashmere scarf. Love letters by Woolf and Nabokov. Lipstick kisses on teacups. Evening walks in rosy-cool dusk. Tender sensuality.

therapy can't replace getting so angry alone in your room you feel lightheaded

i love how for better or worse, the women of severance simply don't fuck around. ms. cobel is a terrifying enemy to be up against, her violent outbursts make her feel unpredictable at times but they don't even hinder her, if anything they make her even more threatening because she's so calculating and unstoppable. she's ready at all times to either rip someone's throat out or ruin their life.

then helly, my beloved, is so fierce even as a blank slate of a person. if she can't have her freedom, then she'll make her captor pay the ultimate price even if it means she dies too. i don't even need to say anything else, you all know. you know her scenes by heart. even helena is so determined to make her mark at lumon that she'll undergo severance and become someone she sees as beneath herself. she'll craft this 'happy worker at the perfect company' narrative all to further her cause even as her life is at risk because that worker is deadset on killing her from the inside. the duality of this character.

and devon keeps coming in clutch. she gives no quarter to mr. milchick and is ready to protect innie!mark because she recognizes that he and her brother are one and the same. she's further from lumon than the rest of the characters but she sees the situation clearly, and even though she doesn't know how to help in the long term of this situation she's doing everything that she can in the short term. without her, who even knows how much deeper mark would be in his own grief, addiction and isolation. she's literally caring for her new baby and her grieving brother at the same time that she's figuring out this conspiracy, she's got a lot on her shoulders

Nikita Gill, from Your Heart is the Sea: Poems; "The Difference Between Alone and Lonely,"

Literally once a week for the past few weeks I've thought to myself "hm. maybe I'm a lesbian?" but then some other stuff happens and I forget about it. I mean, it would explain some things (bone-deep joy at seeing lesbian couples getting married or dancing together, indescribable). It would explain some other things (a rush of attraction and desire for women). It would make sense, even, if we consider things. It would feel right in a strange and slightly scary way. It would also require me to re-evaluate my relationship with men. Do I just like attention? Do I crave connection? Or am I attracted to them? I never have to ask myself these things with women. And I think I'm just plain old bi, but it's so shocking how easy it is for me to be attracted to women, in comparison. I don't crave attention in the same way from men, but most of all, it's so much easier to be attracted to women. The desire to touch, the stomach-clenching, hot-skulled, shallow-breathing rush. But anyhow. Thought for another time (next week).

THE GODS ARE NOT ANGRY AT YOU!!! YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FUMBLE! IT TAKES WAY MORE THAN SPILLED OILS OR ACCIDENTALLY EATEN OFFERINGS TO ANGER THEM!!

Bless y'all <3

Mythology Olympics tournament round 1

Propaganda!

In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet is a warrior goddess as well as goddess of medicine. Sekhmet is also a solar deity, sometimes given the epithet 'the eye of Ra'. She is often associated with the goddesses Hathor and Bastet. Sekhmet is said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. She is also believed to cause plagues (which were described as being her servants or messengers) although she is also called upon to ward off disease and heal the sick.

In Norse mythology, Skaði is a jötunn and goddess associated with bowhunting, skiing, winter, and mountains. Skaði is the daughter of the deceased Þjazi, and Skaði married the god Njörðr as part of the compensation provided by the gods for killing her father Þjazi. In Heimskringla, Skaði is described as having split up with Njörðr and as later having married the god Odin, and that the two produced many children together. In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Skaði is responsible for placing the serpent that drips venom onto the bound Loki.

Dua Sekhmet! Dua Sachmis!

Poem for Sekhmet

Nourish my soul, nourish the rage, nourish the heartbeat inside of its cage: Bringer of Heat, Lady of Flame, Mother, I've hidden within me a shame. Choked down my anger, cut down my claws, Ignoring a longing that burns my lungs raw, Help me see red, help me see rage Help me break open and out of this cage. Carnelian carnivore, Lady of Light, Instruct me in carnage. Teach me to fight. Let me make true all the thoughts in my mind, in ways that are safe, and help others be kind. Help me make action of heat in my chest, Lady of Power, Dua Sekhmet!

Sekhmet

Goddess of the hot desert sun, plague, chaos, war, and healing

Defending the Akhet Eye

II Peret 17 - 18 [2025]

"Procession of the seven executioners in order to find the Akhet Eye." - The Ancient Egyptian Daybook

The Akhet Eye is a representation of Ra at the horizon - Akhet both references the horizon and the season of Inundation. The seven executioners referenced appear to be the Seven Servants of Sekhmet, sent out into the land to locate the Eye and provide it protection as Ra is reborn unto a new day.

"Procession of the seven executioners in Letopolis. Their fingers are searching for the Akhet Eye in the towns of Iyet and Letopolis." - The Ancient Egyptian Daybook

The start of something new, even if it's something that has or haf happened frequently or often, is fraught with fragility. A single word, a single action, a single moment of "not now" could cause the destruction of it.

The Executioners are there to keep the Eye safe and protected until it can stand on its own two feet, so to speak. Isfet may be all around us and perhaps even surrounding the Eye itself, but the Executioners will keep isfet at bay until the new day, the new season, the new month, the new life can move forward.

I’m so happy I got this shot earlier holy shit

cosmic witchcraft 101: energy points and electromagnetic waves ✨

Cosmic witches who incorporate energy points in their practice may want to consider corresponding each point with a specific type of wave from the electromagnetic spectrum. Energy points, sometimes called chakras, are believed to be the centers of spiritual power located in the human body. There are seven energy points located from the root of the spine to the top of the head, and each energy point corresponds with a particular aspect of our mental, spiritual, and emotional being.

Each energy point is unique and often represented by a particular color. Colors all have their own specific wavelengths and frequencies within the visible-light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Cosmic witches may wish to utilize the full range of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum, each with their own frequency and wavelength. All of these waves are used by astronomers to observe celestial objects and the structure of the universe.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

The electromagnetic spectrum is a term used by scientists to describe the full range of electromagnetic radiation, or light. We only see a very small portion of the light that exists in the universe! Waves of electromagnetic radiation are arranged along the electromagnetic spectrum based on their wavelength and frequency.

Wavelength is the distance from one wave’s peak/trough to the next one’s peak/trough. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a certain point during a specific amount of time, most often one second. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related, meaning, the lower the frequency the longer the wavelength, and the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. This relationship is demonstrated below:

There are seven main categories of electromagnetic radiation. They are:

Radio waves (Longest wavelength/Lowest frequency)

Microwaves (Overlaps with the highest frequency portion of the radio spectrum)

Infrared waves

Visible light waves

Ultraviolet waves

X-rays

Gamma rays (Shortest wavelength/Highest frequency)

Since all electromagnetic waves are different kinds of light, all of them travel at the speed of light. Multiply a wave’s frequency times its wavelength, and you’ll get the speed of light! If you want to learn more about the electromagnetic spectrum or the different kinds of electromagnetic waves, these are some great resources to help you learn the basics!

How do I relate the electromagnetic spectrum to energy points?

Conveniently, there are seven primary energy points and seven primary categories of electromagnetic waves. There are plenty of different connections you can make between the energy points and waves; the following are my personal associations. These are by no means universal, just based on the connections I drew between these types of energy, and you may connect with them in a totally different way. Like all other facets of witchcraft, I suggest you read on these energies yourself and figure out what system works best for you.

Since the root energy point is associated with red, which has the longest wavelength/lowest frequency in the visible light portion of the spectrum, I found it most connected with radio waves, which have the longest wavelength/lowest frequency in the entire electromagnetic spectrum; next was the sacral energy point’s orange color associated with microwaves, and so on.

Root Energy Point 🌟 Radio Waves: Radio waves have the longest wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. Some radio wave sources include our galactic center, star forming regions, supernova remnants, and our own Sun. These places all serve as foundation points for new life in the universe, as our root energy point governs our personal foundation. Radio waves represent our origin point, our basic needs, our place of existence. An unsteady source of radio waves in your life can lead to unsteadiness and a lack of grounding. Strong, balanced radio waves will give you security, strength, and a strong sense of self. Sacral Energy Point 🌟 Microwaves: Microwaves are used in a wide variety of ways, doing everything from warming food in your home to helping astronomers observe the structures of distant galaxies. One of the most interesting sources of microwaves is cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). CMB is the residual heat from the Big Bang. The heat from our universe’s explosive origin spread throughout the entire universe and slowly decreased in temperature as the universe expanded. Creation of all kinds produces heat and energy, and microwaves represent the heat that comes from our personal creations: artistic endeavors, sexuality, new friendships. As emotion and creativity are directly connected, blocked or unbalanced microwaves will limit your emotional flexibility and your ability to create on all levels, but strong balanced microwaves will create a passionate, creative person totally connected to their feelings. Solar Plexus Energy Point 🌟 Infrared Waves: Infrared waves are invisible to human eyes, but some animals such as snakes can actually see in the infrared portion of the spectrum. Even though we can’t see it, we encounter infrared light every day; it manifests itself as heat. All humans, animals, and objects emit infrared light, which represents our individual power and confidence. Parts of the galaxy are obscured by clouds of gas and dust, but infrared telescopes let astronomers observe these regions unobstructed. We all have a strength, heat, or life force that moves us through our everyday lives. Weak, unbalanced infrared waves correspond with self-judgment and a lack of confidence/willpower. Strong infrared waves will produce an assertive, powerful individual who moves through life with strength. Heart Energy Point 🌟 Visible Light Waves: Everything that we can see emits visible light. It’s in the center of the spectrum and includes a variety of colors that represent different wavelengths. It unites the upper portion of the spectrum with the lower portion of the spectrum, as does the heart energy point. Distant stars emit visible light, allowing us to recognize that we are a part of something much larger than our planet or even our solar system. Unblocked visible light directs us to our heart’s center, letting us face the world with kindness, compassion, and respect; unbalanced or weak visible light waves will produce a lonely, critical individual with a tendency to hold grudges. Throat Energy Point 🌟 Ultraviolet Waves: The Earth’s atmosphere protects us from most of the ultraviolet light emitted by our Sun, which can make observing celestial sources of ultraviolet light a bit tricky. Ultraviolet waves are collected by satellites above the Earth’s atmosphere; these waves show us some of the hottest, most active regions of our universe, including young stars, stellar nurseries, and more. Ultraviolet waves also help us observe properties of the interstellar medium, the matter existing between solar systems and groups of stars in our galaxy. Ultraviolet waves help us understand different parts of the universe’s structure and identify areas of rapid creation from which we could possibly learn about our own solar system’s birth. Ultraviolet waves represent our ability to look beyond our local, personal atmosphere and seek and share truth and knowledge without being obstructed by our cultural conditioning. Blocked ultraviolet waves can cause doubt and negative thinking, but unbalanced, overly powerful ultraviolet waves can cause us to speak without listening to others. Balanced ultraviolet waves will produce an individual who not only expresses themselves well in their quest for knowledge, but someone who will listen deeply to what others have to say. Third Eye Energy Point 🌟 X-Rays: Astronomical sources of x-rays include some of the brightest, most massive objects in our universe: galaxy clusters, quasars, and black holes, to name a few. X-rays help us see the big picture pieces of our universe, and represent our ability to see the big picture in our lives. Strong, balanced x-rays help us see the deeper meaning of our own existence and will produce an individual with balanced intellectual and intuitive facilities. Unbalanced or blocked x-rays can produce narcissism, overthinking, a lack of intellectual flexibility, and religious narrow-mindedness (believing in one “correct” spiritual path that everybody has to follow). Crown Energy Point 🌟 Gamma Rays: Gamma ray wavelengths are so short that they cannot be captured by mirrors like visible light and x-rays; instead, scientists construct special gamma ray detectors, often made of tightly packed crystals. The crystals emit light as the gamma rays interact with their atoms, and the intensity of the light is directly related to the ray’s energy. Gamma rays are used to observe massive objects like stars, pulsars, black holes, and supernova events, but they also help us figure out which elements can be found on planets in our own solar system. The most energetic waves of light in the electromagnetic spectrum come from sources as massive as black holes to sources as small as Mercury. Strong gamma waves show you that everything is connected, helping you maintain your emotions, feel grounded, and stay connected with the world around you. Unbalanced or blocked gamma waves can make you feel isolated, disconnected spiritually, and a give you a lack of direction.

Do you all have any specific associations with the electromagnetic spectrum? I’d love to hear how others incorporate these waves into their craft, especially if you have a different perspective! I hope some of you find this helpful 🌠
