I am conscious, and I'm mad about it.

I have one that my wife made. It's purple with a tentacle for a handle and the words "I want to return to the void" written across the top.

I HAVE AN ENTIRE CABINET OF MUGS

DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE

DON'T YOU DO IT

A glass of switchel

Made some switchel following the recipe in The Scythe Book.

One word: goddamn.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; if one of you motherfuckers gifts me ONE MORE GODDAMN TUMBLER I will dedicate my life to erasing all memory of your bloodline.

A bookshelf filled with occult books and ones related to my particular practice along with various tchotchkes and altar items

Cleaned up the occult bookshelf. I found my denatonium benzoate!

3 bottles of pineapple juice+ginger bug

Here's hoping pineapple ginger works better than the cosmic horrors I brewed last time.

It was also a bespoke sigil that I designed for the purpose they'd shared with me.

Thank you!

A polished, brass talisman attached to a leather cord and bearing a custom sigil.

Another commissioned talisman. More tech experimentation, but I'm still very happy with the results.

Please excuse my acid-stained hand that betrays my lack of PPE.

A dog on his bed chewing a dragon toy.

He's happy again!

He *really* wants his dragon toy out. Lol

Iihši (the dog we adopted about a month ago) is getting very frustrated with me, because this hasn't been his home for many deep cleaning days.

Every time he takes a toy out of the dogs' toybox, I keep putting it back so that I can vacuum. He is getting visibly upset

Caution label on a tube of caulk in which "take internally" is not preceded with "do not"

I feel like they shouldn't have split this up with "do not" on the instructions.

Two bookshelves filled with books

Two bookshelves with books

Last weekend, we received four new bookshelves to replace our two dilapidated, old IKEA ones. I just finished anchoring them all to the wall and filling them with books. Not organized. Just filled.

My occult bookshelf is still a disaster though.

Math is numbers and numbers don't real.

Every platform does, and even if there wasn't, it would eventually fall into enshittification.

Jesus started an apocalyptic death cult. Any of his other teachings do not redeem him is this.

Jim Jones preached on racial equality. Does this absolve him? Should he be admired?

Sometimes I get really tired of hearing apologetics for the teachings of Jesus from non-Christians, saying that Christians need to act more like him. They are.

Matthew 10:34
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword."

Not the only quote.

If you see this, show the energy you bring to bluesky.

Shifting the environmental blame to the individual has been one of the most successful corporate grifts in history.

I've been asked so many times for guided meditations that I recorded and produced files. Over the years, there have also been some really wild requests, but nowadays, I've been able to settle down with teaching and an occasional tool commission. I hope your current path is a comfortable one.

I'm beyond excited to have new bookshelves, but I cannot begin to express just how much I do not want to load them off the truck.

I honestly don't mind it. I feel that I can have genuine interactions with people here, second only to something like Discord. Most other avenues I've participated in always felt very hollow. Could just be me, but there are definitely worse platforms.

The last time I experimented with dandelion, I extracted its essential oil and hydrolat. Your idea sounds much more appetizing!

I'm making a note right now to try this once we get dandelions blooming again. I know that dandelion root tea is fairly common. Would you recommend any other parts of the flower?

I've experimented with dandelion to know just how unexpectedly powerful its flavor is.

Yes, I'll definitely be experimenting more with the kiwi. I feel like there's a lot of potential and that kiwi, in general, is underutilized in the culinary arts.

Yeah, I'd used hand squeezed oranges and kiwi juice (separately) to ferment using a ginger bug.

The kiwi had an ethereal tartness as it had a whispered conversation with ginger.

Orange tasted like my tongue got kicked in the dick.
