Only Mildly Related To My Previous Post, But I Need More Witchy Friends/a Community Of Some Sort. Im

Only mildly related to my previous post, but I need more witchy friends/a community of some sort. I’m new to this and so I’m 🥲 confused and waddling about like a toddler on ice for the first time.

I’d be inclined to create a discord group, but I’d need help with bots and modding the whole thing me thinks.

Anyways uh, hey everyone 😭 who wants to be witchy friends (all skill levels)

happy pride month from your neighborhood gray!! I forget that asexuality has been severely misrepresented and that a lot of people don’t actually know what it is as a result so here is an overview of what asexuality is, what it’s not, and how acephobic is represented. there is so much more to asexuality than just this. I didn’t even mention the medicalization of asexuality! 

I highly rec scretspiderlady on Twitter because she writes a lot about the ace experience and has many comprehensive threads. I also rec Yasmin Benoit, a Black aroace lingerie model who is fighting misinformation about asexuality and shedding light on racism within the asexual community. if you’re interested in more resources feel free to dm me!

EDIT: I updated the slide that refers to asexuality as “aspec” to “acespec.” The term aspec refers to the a community as a whole – both asexuals and aromantics – while acespec refers to the asexual spectrum and arospec referes to the aromantic spectrum. You can see this mirrored in the terms acephobia (experienced by aces), arophobia (experienced by aros), and aphobia (experienced by both aces and aros). Thank you to those of you who tagged this post with their correction!

EDIT 2: now with a text-only option!

Hmmm

The way I’m slowly getting back into my practice and now I wanna…do a bit of spellwork me thinks. Specifically a combination of love and stability and like I did have some intuitive feels about what I should do, but…on vacation fr, I’m stuck away from all my witchy things 😔

This reminds me

I need to start buying jars just for the sake of keeping things organized and cause I like jars

The only ones I had, someone I used to interact with now has them and obviously won’t give THOSE back 😵‍💫
