On or about this day in 1692, Sarah Osborne, Sarah Good, and Tituba were accused of witchcraft, marking the beginning of what would become the Salem Witch Trials.
This dark period would change the lives of everyone involved, and bring an end to at least 25 lives.
Sarah Osborne was the first victim to die. She died in prison on the 10th of May, 1692. Many people accused of witchcraft (or other crimes), including at least four other people involved in the Salem witch trials, shared this fate.
Sarah Good died on the 29th of July, 1692. She was one of 19 people to be hanged over the course of the trials, and one of the 20 people killed for witchcraft in Salem.
Tituba (an enslaved woman) later confessed to witchcraft and accused numerous others of the same, adding fire to the flame of Salem’s supposed witch problem, which would become increasingly disastrous for everyone involved as a result. The last known record of her is from 1693, when an unknown person bought her.

I saw a tin sign that I wanted but could only find it with cats. So I made my own. I have a fascination with 1692 Salem as my 7ggramma was THERE. (Provided Southwyck Gaskill). Her story is just ...insipid. Her parents were tried and kicked out of the colony for being Quakers. The Salem court kept Provided and her brother . . Wait for it ... as payment for "court costs." The court put Provided up on the slave auction block but she had no takers. Fast forward to 1692 - She and her husband were part of a group that confronted the leaders about the witch trials. I read one document that basically said, "Thou art stupid." Anyways - tin sign design. . . #rabbitsofinstagram #rabbit #bunny #bunnies #salem #1692 #peoplearestupid https://www.instagram.com/p/CfD1g-huwFY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TG: god dammit
TG: i am the real dave
TG: you know the one who saved your life
John, you really fucked up here. Davesprite has been single-mindedly focused on saving you and Jade for months, and you’ve unintentionally spat in his face. He’s not a cut-rate Dave, you know!
John’s a good kid, and this was probably just a slip of the tongue, but it was pretty much the single worst thing he could have said.
TG: im more real actually cause ive been through some heavy shit already hopping around on red hot gears and i-beams for like a year
Four months is just the official score. Dave's a time traveler now, and it sounds like his personal timeline is three times longer. Even worse, Rose wasn’t travelling those loops with him - he was completely alone.
EB: wow, calm down!
EB: i'm sorry, that's not really what i meant...
EB: i mean, of course you're a real dave[...]
*A* real Dave?
John, you’re not a spadekind specialist. Stop digging!
EB: the dave from my time is also my friend, and i guess he's in the same boat i'm in, not knowing stuff and all.
EB: and i'd feel bad keeping him out of the loop!
Come to think of it, why are all our conversations one-on-one? Switching to a group chat would solve all our coordination problems in one fell swoop.
If, for some bizarre reason, Pesterchum doesn’t have that functionality, we could try and convince the troll hacker to implement it.
EB: i think i pissed off your future self.
TG: what did you do
EB: i said he wasn't the real dave.
TG: ahahahahaha
EB: i think i might have really hurt his feelings though!
TG: pff
TG: dont worry about it
EB: why not?
TG: cause i wouldnt give a shit
Worry about it.
Dave is dismissing this way too quickly. His future self isn’t his exact equivalent, and this is something Present Dave has no reason to be touchy about. Dave doesn’t strike me as the introspective type, and that probably extends to other iterations of him, too.
EB: hey dave...
TG: what
EB: in case i forgot to say so before...
EB: thanks for saving my life!
I mean, that’s a good first step, but this is going to take a lot more work. Can someone just give Davesprite a hug?

2023 JULY 19 Wednesday
"To converse with You, O Lord, is the delight of my heart. My Lord and Creator, Your goodness encourages me to converse with You. Your mercy abolishes the chasm which separates the Creator from the creature.
For this incomprehensible goodness of Yours, I adore You, O Lord and Creator, with all my heart and all my soul. And, although my worship is so little and poor, I am at peace because I know that You know it is sincere, however inadequate."
~ Saint Faustina Kowalska, Diary of St Faustina °1692

First world problems:
My heating pad doesn’t have a “just right” setting. It’s either barely warm enough to feel that it’s plugged in or burning me alive like it’s 1692 and I’ve been found to be a witch in Salem.

The latest Twiztid album has arrived. "Glyph" dropped exclusively on CD on the MNE shop on CYBER Monday (11/28/2022).
As of this writing this is the only place you can get/hear the album. It's pretty fresh that they included an autograph sheet.
Below are the CDs I picked up in addition to "Glyph."
Twiztid - Glyph
Songs of Samhain Vol. 3: Culture of Night
Oh The Horror - 1692
