Well met, traveller! Tell me, what is it that you need most?

A little change of scenery.

A glimpse into the future.

Knowledge from the universe.

Inner peace. Possibly a nap.

A home-cooked meal.

Something to pass the time.

A grand adventure to a far-off place.

See Results

Ah, I see. Thank you for your honesty. Please, take as much as you need. There will be enough for everyone.

A change of scenery. Simple, but marvelous.

A glimpse into your future, for you brave souls! (Divination is tricky business, tread carefully my dear!)

Knowledge from the universe, eh? Perhaps this will be of interest to you.

Rest for the weary, right this way. It's a personal favourite of mine.

A home-cooked meal you say? I like how you think! A labour of love worth savoring (and sharing with friends!)

For something to pass the time, try looking here, or if that doesn't hit the spot, here.

Seeking adventure to a far-off place? I know a way to get you there.

✨

I hope you found what you were looking for!

Okay, not to be overdramatic but this is one of those things that makes me feel so in awe and in love with people. OP spent their time making this?? And it's delightful?? And full of compassion and curiosity about strangers on a hellsite. Take what you need, take a breath, enjoy this shared moment of human experience. I did. 💜

Okay so I’m gonna hijack this post and make it apart of my welcome to my blog post because I love it.

Welcome to my blog! I’m a physically disabled occultist. This post has a list of my major posts about witchcraft and posts I didn’t create but thought were really helpful:

I have noticed that overtime my CRPS pain in my left knee, has extended down my leg and reached my ankle. I now have crps in my ankle. Even though im recovering its still progressing. If anyone knows how illness works im curious as to how i can both be getting better and worse.


Anyways, im writing this because i realized… im not scared. Im not sad, or angry. And its never been like that before.

First it was the right knee, then the left, then both elbows, then both wrists. Feeling that searing burn creep its way into other joint terrified me everytime because everytime i knew it would never go away. And now its taken over a new joint.

But I’m okay.

I think its because i made my life a good one. I fought every breath i took for a better life and i got that. Now this just feels like… a small part in that big, big, long, good life. Yeah, it sucks, but by now im an expert at this. What can i not do?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this pain invaded every cell in my body one day.

But i see it less like a horrible disease, and more like an unusual friend. Like “hey bud, i see you’re causing trouble again. Here is some meds, try not to fuck me up too much, see ya tomorrow.” Like a little weird pet i got stuck with. I know thats strange but. Its a part of me i accept.

It actually made me decide when i die i want to be cremated. Thought it would be poetic to live and die being burned to ash.

This cave, this dark, gloomy cave, is my home. And the flames of my body are my only light. I can never leave the cave, and i always have my light, for better or for worse. In the cave, where the only thing left of me is the truth, i have clarity, and i learn how to have a good life with that.


I will be okay.

THE CAVE physical disability

People on social media: “we are protesting today”

Others: “protesting does nothing you should have voted/ why aren’t you revolutionizing?”

Idk why are you sitting at home doing nothing and telling people what to do? Why are you mad we are trying? I mean, you don’t have to participate but what harm does it cause? Because when i was surrounded by my fellow neighbors, holding up signs, booing tesla trucks, many people came up to me and thanked me for being there, many smiled and shared hope, many started conversations with me, some made friends.

Its community dude.. thats what its for. And if you can do nothing but scream, why not scream?

(Not directed at people who can’t protest due to saftey or other issues)

I agree with literally everything op is saying and I don't want to detract from their point but this website here, specifically for mobile games (though they intend to eventually branch out to other types) is creating a database that flags those exact types of predatory things. It also flags games as safe, so if you want to look for safe mobile games this is an invaluable resource.

https://www.darkpattern.games/

It also has definitions, explanations, and examples of all the different types of psychological manipulations games pull on the website so if anyone ever tries to give you "just don't spend money, it's easy" you can send them this

Oh thank god, I lost my link to dark pattern some time ago and I thought I would never find it again.

Did you know that many gastropods can create a pearl, including terrestrial snails? The difference is nacre which is only found in some species of mollusks and which which gives pearls their beautiful shine. Terrestrial snails occasionally produce very small translucent white pearls which are usually lost. One non-nacre secreting sea snail, the melo melo, produces gorgeous pearls that are extremely prized and rare.

Conches can also produce pearls.

Paua (also called abalone) can make pearls as well- though they are only half-pearls (called mabel pearls)

yeah libraries are cool but have you ever found a library with a secret doorway disguised as a bookshelf that leads to a smaller, hidden library filled with ancient books full of mysteries and forgotten knowledge? me neither and i'm sad about it

creature-wizard

I think maybe the real secret doorway with a tiny, hidden library filled with ancient books full of mysteries and forgotten knowledge are the links to Google drives people post in Discord servers.
