Reblog If Black Lives Matter To You

i think it might be a good idea, when you’re designing a villain, if you look at them and think “why do these characteristics make me think of them as villainous” and like, if those characteristics reflect groups of real-life marginalized people….maybe, don’t go with those design choices?

Spell to Purify a Second Hand Item

You will need:

Dried rosemary needles

Dried sage leaves

Dried thyme

Handful cedar chips

Fire safe bowl or cauldron

While many people love to buy things second hand to save money, a drawback to doing so is the energy, sometimes negative, which clings to these things and is still present when they become ours. These energies can be cleared easily, and it is preferable to do this on any item we will be exposing ourselves to regularly such as clothing or a vehicle.

Place the cedar chips in the bowl and light them. When they start to smoke, add the rosemary, sage, and thyme. Once everything has caught on fire a little and there is a good amount of smoke, slowly pass the item you are purifying through the smoke. If your item is too large to do this, such as a car, circle the item and waft the smoke around it with your hands. Say: rosemary, sage, and thyme, remove any evil which may dwell within. Cedar, clear this (item) and make it new. Smoke wash away the past. As I will it, so mote it be.

Allow the herbs and cedar chips to finish burning, and your item is now purified and ready for new ownership.

Your Homework This Thanksgiving

A lot of people I know going home for Thanksgiving spend a good portion of time debugging and unfucking their parents’ and other older relatives’ computers for them.

So while you’re uninstalling malware and the 32 accidentally installed toolbars, may I suggest taking the time to install one of these Alt-Right Denormalizer extensions? 

One changes all mentions of “alt-right” to “white supremacy.”

Or

This one changes all mentions of “alt-right” to “rebranded white nationalism.”

I mean, you’re there to help.
