"Humans have vast, ambitious notions of how to harness the universe for their own purposes. But what if the bones of other creatures have lives that assert themselves in extraordinary ways? What if they carry wisdom beyond human beings' narrow conceptions of what is acceptable?"

trigger warning for cancer!!

just got off the phone with my dad and my corgi, macy, does have bladder cancer. the vets have been taking their time trying to figure out everything but they finally got back to my dad today to tell him the news. we have 3 options for treatment and none of them are cheap. i hate to do this but i’m in the process of moving 2 more hours away from my family and i want to help them out as much as i can while also not having to ask them for money.

i’m not asking for donations, i’m really not, i sell divination readings so if you’d like to help my parents, myself, and most importantly — macy, please consider buying a reading from me! i have p*yp*l, v*nmo, c*sh*pp, ko-fi, and z*lle ((message me for that))

i’m more than willing to offer multiple readings for a lower price, i’m just desperate to help my parents and my dog. we have 4 dogs in total so having to spend a lot on macy is going to cause issues for everyone in the house so please, please consider sharing this post so people can potentially buy a reading from me.

this is a post that no one ever wants to make but here are some silly pictures of macy begging for my siblings food!!

i just realized something extrodinary.

Ouranos, Kronos, and Zeus were/may be overthrown by a son, right?

Ouranos's wasn't prophesized, but man. it probably would've been.

Meanwhile, Kronos's was prophesized.

And we're pretty sure Zeus is paranoid about that happening to him.

and i was thinking; "wow, i wonder what, exactly, about them that has this air of "will be overthrown" hanging over them."

and it hit me.

they're all terrible fathers. the cycle keeps repeating.

and it won't stop until whatever's wrong is corrected.

and who, of Zeus's godly sons, is widely acclaimed to be one of, if not the best, godly parent?

Apollo.

"The so-called oracle bone inscriptions (jiaguwen 甲骨文 "plastron bone inscriptions") are remnants of archival documents from the late Shang period 商 (17th-11th cent. BCE) upon which records of royal divinations were carved or inscribed. The material is the plastrons (breastshields, gui fujia 龜腹甲) of tortoises or scapulae (shoulder-blades shou jiagu 獸胛骨) of different cattle. The oracle bone inscriptions are the oldest extant Chinese texts written in a perfectly developed script. Unfortunately there are no older stages of the Chinese script preserved (except some clan insignia and examples of logographs of uncertain meaning), but it appears in full maturity on the Shang oracle inscriptions." http://www.chinaknowledge.de/Literature/Historiography/oracle.html

The unexpected discovery of China’s earliest writing occurred when Wang Torong came down with malaria. The prescription of ‘dragon bones’ to help the healing process set off an investigation which ended up leading to the oracle bones of Yinxu, the earliest known source of Chinese writing.

Ongoing use of dragon bones in Chinese medicine raises concerns among experts, lamenting the continual depletion of potential paleontological and archaeological treasures.
