Community Witch tropes Rav dropped them back off at the house. As soon as he was gone, Aspen pulled out their phone to text Becks. "Becks I’ve been here less than 24 hours and I met the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen in my entire fucking life." Almost immediately, they got a video call from Becks. “It’s a sign,” she declared without preamble. “Tell me more.” “He came to the house to get me to help him with a ghost.” “Not that, dummy. You said he was beautiful. Give me details.” “He’s… flawless. Athletic hipster, my height, cheekbones that could kill a man… he looks like he just stepped out of a Bollywood movie. Plus, his hair is incredible and he smells amazing.” “Did this beautiful stranger give you his name?” “Rav.” Becks’ eyes narrowed. She brought the phone close to her face. “You’re not telling me something. What aren’t you telling me?” How did she always know? “I have his number. And we’re getting coffee next week. But.” They cut off Becks’ whoop of celebration. “It’s not a date.” “Not a date,” Becks scoffed. “He’s beautiful, has incredible hair, and smells amazing. And you just met, and you have his number, and you’ll be getting coffee. How is that not a date?” “It’s not a date!” Aspen rolled their eyes. “I have his number because I have to call him about a spell I’m doing. And coffee… he’s an artist with his own studio. And Aunt Marcy always made crafty witch kitsch to sell to the tourists, but it’s not really my vibe. So I suggested we collaborate. Maybe make some prints with his art and some witchy blessings or something.” “Aspen.” Becks gave a long-suffering sigh. “You are your own worst enemy.” Aspen blew a raspberry and hung up.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Fun fact: For our first dance as a married couple, Krissy and I slow-danced to Bryan Ferry's "Slave to Love," which segued directly into Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like a Hole," which we then absolutely headbanged to, because it was our wedding and that meant our first dance could be whatever we wanted

It’s all just a little bit of history repeating.

History repeats.

In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.

Okay, Blue Sky, for every like this post gets, I will share a superhero or supporting character from a superhero comic that I think is under appreciated:

#comic #ritual
This is a 3-page comic and there is much to describe but I'll try my best. Infused in our culture is the promise of a quicker, easier way to do things. It's nice to have direct access to the things you regularly use and enjoy. [panels show microwaving water for tea, and letting a bag of prepackaged tea steep in a mug] But maybe not all processes are a burden. If you find yourself gaining speed, but losing focus, take a look at which processes give you energy. [panels show a cyclops girl drawing with the previous mug of tea- as time goes on, she appears to get more tired, and picks up the tea mug to consider it.] Rush through the processes you don't like. [Panel shows cyclops girl walking past a dishwasher] Take a little longer with the ones you do. [An arrangement of 8 panels that shows the process of blending a tea by hand in a mortar and pestle and infusing in a teapot over the stove] And in doing so, create little rituals for yourself. [Open illustration shows cyclops girl enjoying some tea in an armchair, surrounded by plants. It appears that she has recharged her energy in a small but effective way]

10 years later, the queen has her abducted again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cisgender People Cisgender people are just like you and me, except they believe their "assigned sex at birth" matches up with their “gender identity”. 1. How do they know they are cis? Many cis people feel they "know" their gender internally. They feel they were "born in the right body," even if others don't understand. 2. Who is going to date them? Though cisgender people can have a hard time meeting partners, they are still able to have healthy relationships. Often, cis people will date other cis people. 3. How do they have sex? Cisgender people can be very inventive with their bodies. 4. But they don't look cis! Cisgender people are everywhere. They might not look the way that you expect!
