#cross-quarter

[amplexi]

First Day of Summer (astronomically speaking) ---

Near as I can tell, the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice (called the Celtic cross quarter of Beltane, though it predates the Celts and goes back to early agrarian cultures) is today, May 5, 2023, at 7:35 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

Summer Solstice is Midsummer. Today is beginning of Summer.

Yknow what, I might as well see what happens

Gonna do the notes game, just gonna see what happens I dunno (I have a lot of stuff I need to do and no motivation so I’ll use the internet to force me to)

25 notes - I’ll finish reading Good Omens

50 notes - I’ll finish pulp musicals (I started it and got distracted, came back an hour later so damn confused I HAD MY EARBUDS IN AND EVERYTHING)

100 notes - I’ll draw more (both traditionally and digitally, I want to improve)

150 notes - I’ll continue writing a coffee shop au I started last October and never finished (it was like 75 pages and I just stopped :()

200 notes - I’ll listen to Starry

250 notes - I’ll try to get at least a 70% in Spanish this quarter

300 notes - I’ll clean my room

350 notes - I’ll work on eating healthier

500 notes - I’ll spend more time with my friends outside of school

750 notes - I’ll finish listening to all the musicals on my musical watch list (there are so many of them…)

1000 notes - I’ll get back to doing taekwondo

1500 notes - I’ll take a walk every day

2000 notes - I’ll spend more time with my family

2500 notes - I’ll rewrite my really bad Xehaqus fic from 2 years ago and try my hardest not to just delete all of it (I’d be rewriting 183 pages, I dunno I wanna see how I’d write it now without changing the entire plot)

3000 notes - I’ll actually start to study for school and not just wing it

4000 notes - I’ll stop being such an asshole to my parents Jesus Christ how do they deal with me

5000 notes - I’ll come out to my mom as trans

Try and reach the goal before uhhhhh I dunno April 16th

I may add more later, depends on how fast yall go through the goals, I have a lot of things I need to do (mainly because I need to start caring about my health and how I treat other people). I dunno, let’s see how this goes

Edit kinda did the “come out to my mom” thing soooooo idk I’ll figure something out for 5000 (maybe)

#note game #Yall im so bored #And I need motivation #And also I need to start being like… a decent person #Idk man #I probably shouldn’t be needed to do some of these things but also peer pressure is a wonderful thing #And I’m just kinda a mess rn #Hopefully 4th quarter for school goes well #Fingers crossed?

Sorry my question brought you such grief. :( Thank you so much for answering, though. Your explanation was perfect, and that person inadvertently gave a perfect example of what you were talking about. Still sorry you had to deal with that, though. Thanks for your help!

Eh, your question didn't bring me any grief.

Like the strongest argument I've ever heard was the fact that Gardner and Nichols used the Irish names for the cross quarter days instead of the English ones when putting together the Wheel of the Year, but I don't think that really holds any weight. These are not closed practices, they're shared holidays across the region.

And, like, I don't see anyone banging down the door of modern Druidry yelling at them about the same thing. Which is, y'know, telling.

(Also - If you take two seconds to look at the English or Scottish names for them, and understood the context, you'd realize why they didn't want to use them)

Like the usual examples people bring up are Wiccans taking from various indigenous practices, like using white sage in "smudging" -- but these are, not actually "Wiccan" (as in the religion) practices, but things "Wiccans" (as in the people) have done. Which is, y'know, bad -- but an issue the entire modern witchcraft movement needs to come to terms with, and not inherent to Wicca the religion or exclusive to its practitioners.

#A lot of modern druidry doesn't use the full wheel of the year but still use the cross quarter days including the Irish names #This is sort of in response to ANOTHER anon's asks too -- I just didn't want to make this topic my whole day so I'm putting it all here #Wicca #witch #witchcraft #witchblr

home shopping channels are the best thing to happen to steve and robin and the worst thing to happen to everyone else

#everyone either gets a state quarter collection kit a crystal pitcher or steak knives for christmas #stobin #actually everyone except dustin #he gets one of those railroad crossing sign piggy banks #you know the tall ones that make train sounds and light up? #it’s defective though and the only way to turn it off is to take the batteries out

#I’ve seen all of them and still this felt new #Billy‘s thigh in those shorts I’m eating carpet #His seraphic face in the middle of a bunch of boys flexing their biceps #oh my god #Rob really said ‘Let me squeeze Tony’s titty’ #I respect him #Chad was like :) x) #The smiles. They are perfect tbh #Why were they pressed so close in those costumes #Rob goddamn back up but don’t #Ron’s moody arm cross #Each and every one of them could pick Billy up and carry him around #Gosh him wrapped around them like a koala and their arms flexing with the effort of holding him leaving a nice achy reminder of what they #had in their hands #There’s every thought I had but also just a quarter #Ot5 of all time. They really are like this🤞 back up #og cobras #johnny lawrence #bobby brown #Tommy karate kid #dutch karate kid #And I notice that’s Tony’s [redacted] is against Billy’s thigh #I’m not rpf’ing ok I just am in a way talking about both but also not
