This is also a very empowering and humbling way to consider #magic and #language. This goes well beyond the "hurhur, don't give the fey your name" trope. Many wield the power in their words in a raw and unrecognized way.
A muttered curse about someone's appearance overheard can ruin someone's day, a thoughtful comment can lift someone up. Rarely will sparks fly from your fingertips, or mystic energy will manifest before your eyes, but that's because the power and magic of words are subtle and can often fail to have an effect or go unheard.
If you've ever felt touched by a book or changed by someone's comment, you've felt this type of magic. Try to speak concensusly to keep the raw power of your words from going a wry.

Politics, Guns
Political cartoon idea. Free to a good home.
On the left, a woman in hospital bed giving birth. Doctors attending. Man with gun standing to right. In middle a GOP politician with hands up in a βwaitβ gesture facing the gun holding man.
Caption: Give her a couple more pushes then itβs fine/all yours! (choose which works best).
Inking done :)
Next time digitalizing and maybe some colors.

It was with great patience that the werewolf waited.
His pack-leader had given him a very clear instruction, and he wanted to impress.
He got peanut-butter when he impressed. His tail thumped against the wall at the thought.
"Shh!"
He grabbed his tail, giving a sheepish nod to the librarian.
Finally, story-time came to an end.
"Ah, there's your uncle over there."
His tiny human niece scampered over.
It was a very safe walk home.
Reading about a Google Research project that generates videos of objects bumping into each other. I thought, cool, this is cute for like, making random weird vids!
Then I read the attached section on why they made it in the first place
Folks, they are trying to make up for the lack of ground truth video of physical object interaction by *simulating those interactions and training the AI on the simulation*
Urban solarpunk technopagan following a chaos magick path through rediscovering the wisdom of my great-grandmother, how to listen to my surroundings without being overwhelmed. I enjoy checking my reflection in tarot, simple protection and banishment practices, and daydreaming about making fancy tehcno psudo magick trinkets with electronics.
Queer as in gender is a fuck, I'm wonderful, and no one can stop me. Mindful of passing my white cis male privilege on.
