#corn mother

[morimox]

"'Tis but a thing of straw' They say,

Yet even straw can sturdy be

Plaited into doll like me.

And in the days of long ago

To help the seeds once more grow

I was an offering to the gods.

A very simple way indeed

Of asking them to intercede

That barn and granary o'erflow

At harvest time, with fruit and corn

To fill again Amalthea's horn."

— Minnie Lambeth (1957)

  

A little corn dolly for "farm" :3 I remember making these as a kid! But that's lemongrass from my garden as a prop, because I hella failed at growing corn, lol. I wanna git gud, though, because I would love to make my own homegrown dollies! I might just try to fashion my lemongrass into one~

Made my very first corn dolly to celebrate Sukkot, the Jewish harvest festival (syncretism rocks). She will be baptised and kept safe through the winter, then buried.

I love hating on Lin Manuel Miranda. I don't really know why. He's an excellent lyricist and is an absolutely brilliant man when it comes to music. But for some reason I just want to scream in anger whenever I see this face.

#there should have been a jump scare warning for episode three. i was not prepared. #when o saw that track suit i was filled with a rage only an autistic toddler could have when given a corndog instead of a hotdog like they #were expecting. #and then i got excited at seeing an early glimpse of Hermes. and then that fucker started singing to himself and there i was again #painstakingly peeling off all the corn bread whole glaring at my mother for hiding my favorite food. #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson #hermes #pjo hermes #lin manuel miranda #pjo tv show

first @yeehawgust prompt was 'gather the posse' and since I'm using this challenge as a way to explore new characters I just took that to mean "design the fuckers"

anyways, Whiskey and Tago. Tbh this pose was meant to be more a metaphor thing than literal, but it's making me strongly consider changing Whiskey to being a they/them(plural) instead of a they/them(singular).

#yeehawgust #Whiskey is an alabastor. Their parents own the local saloon where they and their mother work as barkeeps. their father also manages #a small ranch/farm that grows corn and has a decent number of cattle. #Tago is an outlaw whos just moving from town to town looking for honest work after spending too long doing the bidding of others #in big cities out to the east. #He doesn't like getting close to people. Literally. hes venomous and his touch is poisonous to the point of being lethal to most #Whiskey is the sort you really shouldn't get close too. They have a habit of driving their less constituted lovers insane. #they're a shape shifter who moves between faces/gender presentations as it suits them but they #cant do much about their coloration though. thats always the same and it irritates them to no end

why did the fucking fade suck so much in inquisition there's not even a bit of psychological torture in there for ANYONE whats even the point

#the nightmare demon throwing some mean words after they made zevran relive being tortured during crow training #and morrigan getting beaten by her mother. and wynne being surrounded by the murdered bodies of all her apprentices. #and hawke finding out all his companions and loved ones would sell him for a corn chip. except anders. #WHAT WAS THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops all elezen! Some NPCs requested by the people (I got a lot of Elezen so I figured they could have their own batch. Next will be hyur - based off the other NPCs people requested lol)

For some reason I keep forgetting that Altered Carbon is not some alternate universe. Like, Altered Carbon is our world rn just a lot older. Meaning, if they still have some of the stuff we have now in the future, there is a chance that Takeshi has drank a Starbucks Frappuccino before. Not that I think he would do that but he COULDVE done that. He has probably draken Dr Pepper before. He’s probably gotten drunk off the same shitty Smirnoff vodka that I have. What is life.

#I don’t know #I was making corn dogs and I was like #‘has Takeshi eaten corn dogs before?’ #like #as a child #did his mother every make him something similar?? #has he eaten chicken nuggets before? #like why the hell #as far as I know he could’ve! #altered carbon #Netflix show #altered Carbon 2018 #Takeshi Kovacs #Joel Kinnaman #future #ci fi #cyber punk #cuberpunk #futuristic #normal people #normal people things #envoy #the last envoy #thoughts #this is weird #idk

Mother Death has paid us a visit again, with one of our old hens passing away in the night. Accordingly, we took her body out into the forest, where we laid her to rest in the embrace of a Nurse Stump and showered her with Bleeding Heart Flowers—a bioregional plant we have found quite useful as a Ghost Corn for the spirits of the dead.

autumn court inspired by germanic folklore & fairytales, my beloved

#the autumn court in general owns my heart. everyone else is in a romance novel & they're in game of thrones. #the temptation to develop the entire court and its regions. #imagine lesser fae based on the waldleute & changelings (both very fitting for autumn) #feldgeister hidden in the rows of corn. the bergmönch in the mountains. yule witches in their huts. #wolpetingers rustling in the trees. eris' 12 helhonds. #the lorelei singing atop the rocks by the sea. #gothic bavarian-style architecture. viennese-baroque palaces. wild countryside with fruitful orchards / harvests / and parades. #ACTUALLY! pied piper allegory for eris - for his persuasions; schemes; and promises. #just... grimm vibes. #tbd. #adding to that thought: modern verse eris is of bavarian/dutch descent. #eris' father is german & his mother is flemish-dutch. #i could talk about this for days.

FILL THE ASKBOX

If Senritsu had not dedicated herself to music, what would she have done?

If it would not have been her fathers music, than it would have been her mothers herbalism. Senritsus mother is the makeshift-doctor of the group of traveling-people Senritsu grew up between. After all, the group was traveling from village to village and therefor they had nto always the option to go to a hospital dirctly or had to be somehow kept alive until they could reach a hospital. In the same manner Hospital stays and doctors are expensive and when there are already little boys dying in the middle of a city in which Leorio grew up because people had no money, than traveling-people outside of a citys infrastructure and with no chance to earn enough money, could never hope for a doctors treatment. Accordingly Senritsus mother preformed surgerys, straightened broken bones, planted healing-herbs on her vardos roof, prepared healing-salves and teas, set up baths for pregnant people, supervised births, took care of infants and young parents after birth, prepared painkilling wraps and oinments for the elders aching joints, took care of the traveling groups cattle if they fell sick, bought proper medications with the groups earned money, prepared antibacterial powder out of bread-mold, made wound-bandages out of birch-bark and spiderwebs, gave the children of the group sex-education and teached about herbal contraceptives (Senritsu using wild carrotseeds to keep her hormones out of balance and prevent pregnancy, or in some cases cause a early abortion through seven days of pennyroyal-tea in the first weeks, is because of her mothers teachings) etc. ... Occaisonally, if the group would found themself with people they did not trusted or that were dangerouse, those people would be also send to Senritsus mother for a meal. Poisoners and herbal healers are after all having the same skillset. Senritsu and every other of her siblings along with everyone who wanted to, was teached to recognize healing herbs and how they should be prepared. That Senritsus hatsu specifically makes people hallucinate a dandelion meadow when dandelions are one of the most versatile healingherbs foundable almost everywhere, is because of her mothers teachings. Senritsu had always been curious and if it had not been music, she would have focused on discovering new plants and how they could be used to heal and help people.

#hunting-songs: headcanon #hunting-songs #thanks dear :D #I mean senritsu would nto be above to just down a mother-corn-drink if she ever foudns herself pregnant #but wild carrotseeds do the trick without risking actual lifethreatening poisoning like pennyroyal or mother-corn could cause #senritsu would never poison another persons drink or food. she however has the skillset to do so

A few days ago, I wrote a piece noting that Georgia Republican Senate contender Herschel Walker, who faces Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnoff in a December 6 runoff, owes Peach State voters the release of his medical records. As Walker acknowledges, he has a history of dangerous and reckless behavior. He played Russian roulette with a loaded gun and fantasized viscerally about committing murder, and his ex-wife says he once held an ex-gun to his head. Walker asserts he doesn’t remember that horrific incident, but he claims other troublesome actions and violent thoughts were the result of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), which causes a person to have multiple autonomous personalities. (Many mental health experts question whether this disorder truly exists.). And, Walker maintains, he has been cured. So regarding the violence in his past, Walker essentially says, It was my other personalities, and they no longer have a grip on me.

But there’s no proof of any of this.

Walker has not released medical records, which presumably would confirm the initial diagnosis and show the treatment he underwent. They also would disclose his current condition. Might Walker still be afflicted by DID, despite his insistence he has been “healed”? Walker is covering up, providing no documented details of his professed bout with DID or his purported cure.

Georgia voters certainly deserve to know if they might be electing to office a man who still suffers from what was once popularly known as Multiple Identity Disorder—think Sybil—and who could at times be controlled by one or more alternative personalities.

Once upon a time, Walker himself agreed with the notion that political candidates—at least those running for president—ought to demonstrate that they are mentally and physically fit to hold office.

In September 2020, Walker, then almost a year away from announcing his Senate bid, responded to the popular right-wing talking point that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was not mentally acute enough to serve in the White House. Walker proposed that Biden (and Donald Trump) submit to exams to determine each candidate’s physical and mental health. In a tweet, Walker, a former football star, declared,

"I was also thinking then when I played how they used to—we had to take physical and mental tests to make sure that we can take the grueling tasks that we had to do. And now, since everyone is questioning Vice President Biden, I think that”ll be fair to both candidates if before they debate. I think both candidates need to take a physical and mental test to see if they’re up to the task of being president of the United States ’cause this is a grueling, tough position. You know, I’m not saying I’ve ever been president, but I can tell you it’s tough, mentally and physically. So I think it’s only fair that both candidates take a physical and mental test to see if they’re able to do the job they;’e gonna be required to do."

Though the standards may be different for a president than a senator, Walker’s reasoning certainly applies to his own case. He has contended that he once was burdened by a mental disease that led to dangerous conduct and violent thoughts and that could hamper his performance in office. What might happen were he to be elected a senator and his alternative and violent personalities return?

Walker’s medical records would likely indicate whether he truly had DID—as opposed to the possibility that he’s hiding behind it—as well as reveal how effectively he has been treated and whether his “alters,” as they are called, are gone for good. Walker claims that he was cured by a Jerry Mungadze, one of Walker’s “best friends,” who has a Ph.D. in counselor education from the University of North Texas. Mungadze takes an unusual approach to treating DID that includes exorcism as an option. Have any medical doctors been involved in Walker’s treatment? His records should disclose that.

But in lieu of releasing his records, Walker could do what he called for Biden to do in 2020: submit to a mental health examination. After all, being a senator can be a grueling job, perhaps as grueling as playing in the NFL. During that campaign, Biden did disclose a summary of his medical records and the results of a recent physical exam. Walker has not even done that.

Mother Jones contacted Walker’s campaign to see if he planned to take such a test and make the results public. The campaign did not respond. It seems that Walker, who once prescribed testing to ensure the mental fitness of a politician, is now not willing to apply that standard to himself.
