Y'all, saying that cartomancy is a "closed Romani practice" is like saying money lending is a "closed Jewish practice." Cartomancy was a practice that Romani people were forced into due to discrimination.

Ettellia said he learned tarot from Romani people who brought tarot from Egypt. He was lying to make tarot sound more exotic. Europe was in the middle of egyptomania. There is literally no historical evidence that this supposed origin is even slightly true. Europe has had cartomancy since the Roman Empire.

Around the time that tarot divination was being invented, tarocci decks were fairly new. If there was a "traditional romani cartomancy" method, (which even Romani oral histories do not support) it almost definitely would have been based on the massively more popular Belgian-Genoese pattern deck, not the tarocci deck.

#please stop taking the golden dawn at their word when it comes to esoteric history #they are not a reliable source #sometimes i feel like some of y'all dont actually give a fuck about romani history its just words to you

"ukraine invasion" vs "israel-hamas war" hm. something something wording and western media bias and propaganda

Hunter x Hunter is like this is Alluka her incredibly abusive family that doesn’t treat her like a human refers to her as a boy but Killua, the only member of her family that loves & cares about her, explicitly refers to her as his little sister. & some fans are still like What could Togashi have possibly meant by this. We will never know

#idk the people who literally tortured & manipulated one kid & isolated and neglected another probably aren’t the most reliable source #for Alluka’s gender identity. #hxh

That moment when you have to completely stop using Google docs for your writing because the AI spellchecker is actively, insistently wrong, when it catches things at all

Anyway here's me crawling back to LibreOffice and Scrivener like the disloyal hussy I am

#I was getting sick of Firefox's spell checker being my primary source for reliable edits #Google your AI really needs to have a basic dictionary check built in #or just a dictionary check with no AI that was significantly better can we go back to that #old people were right technology really is getting worse #do I need to invest in a cane to shake at tech firms? #so HELP me if my cane tries to connect to wifi

Surprised to See Me?

I like to think that Jason sees Talia and Damian as ohana. But at the same time, Talia's like one of those Asian moms. So, Jason's also mildly intimidated by Talia.

Talia: Ya qalby! I'm so glad to see you! :D

Jason: *Violent flashbacks to the Talia's missile-aiming sandals*

What do you mean the psychotic episode I just had a few days ago is not a reliable source for my essay?!?

[aromanticbuck]

I just think it's funny that...

the loudest part of this fandom has been begging for queer!Buck for years. but, the second they actually give the fandom what they want, and Buck has a canon boyfriend, a date he is taking to his sister's wedding, someone he can't stop thinking about, that's... wrong?

you got the rep you were begging for. we have the actor and the rest of the cast openly saying a character is bisexual. we are getting exactly what we asked for.

but now it's not good enough because it's not exactly who you want him to be with?

the definition of bisexuality is not I love every single woman in the world and that one guy. there are a million essays on this very site that go into exactly how biphobic that mindset actually is. it perpetuates the finer details of the patriarchy that everyone hates until it serves their purpose.

you're allowed to not ship something, but to say it's not canon or block a wiki page from being edited to state their relationship is actually extremely biphobic. you got what you want and now you're attacking it. I think that says a lot more about you than it says about the writers who are denying you something they never promised in the first place.

#alex says things #911 #911 fandom #911 fandom discourse #fandom discourse #biphobia #never thought i'd see BUDDIE SHIPPERS being this fucking biphobic #with their whole chests even #evan buckley #buck buckley #evan buck buckley #also to emphasize: the fan wiki that can be edited so freely #and be blocked from edits that would simply state CANON DEVELOPMENTS #is not a reliable source for any information unless you can find the episode/scene/interview/article it is from

The obsession that some Liberals have with "Unity" and "Compromise" as inherently desirable ends unto themselves, rather than potentially applicable means, excellently demonstrates the foolishness of their idealist worldview. Like they believe that conflict happens because some people just don't like each other, that they were somehow infected with bad ideas that drive them to fight, and so you can solve all conflict by getting them to just start liking each other by believing good ideas of peace and love instead. The idea that some groups are opposed because of very real material reasons, that can't be banished with a change in attitude, is simply not something they consider. And so they value the mere act of resolving a conflict over the conditions that said resolution create.

While certain forms of unity and compromise are very useful to advancing a cause or movement, others are a waste of effort and resources and some lead to active disruption and damage. You need to consider the actual situation that you occupy, and the actual terms that this unity will be on, before you start advocating it. Like there's this quote I've seen attributed to the oral traditions of the Haitian people (although I've had trouble finding a source for this so take this supposed origin skeptically) that I think is worth keeping in mind: The unity of the chicken and the roach happens in the belly of the chicken

#Stella Speaks #by the way if anyone does have a reliable source on the origin of this quote it would be greatly appreciated #like I still think it's a good quote regardless of how “real” or “fake” it is but it's still good to know where these things truly originat
