the philosophy that your body is something separate from your mind and soul, a disobedient machine in need of governing, rather than one and the same entity as you are, is a philosophy designed in the 16th century to serve capitalist interests! release it and accept that your consciousness is also in your fingers and your tummy
we need to say things like “listen to your body” “get in tune with your body” because western society is deeply invested in separating the mind from the body in order to force us to work past our natural limits. christianity contrived the lie that “we” as humans are some true self at dwells reluctantly within yet at odds with our bodies, in order to force us to work beyond our bodies’ natural limits and to disregard our feelings of hunger and exhaustion. we’re only starting to realize how unnatural and harmful this is and yet we’re afraid to accept the natural truth that our bodies and minds are one and the same entity.
This is not news, but it is an important read, especially for people who were previously unaware of the trend of neo-Nazis stealing pagan symbols for their own.
If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist pagan, keep doing what you are doing, you are keeping the fight alive
If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist person who is not a pagan, help us spread the word of this, stand in solidarity with us as we kick the fascists out of our communities
If you are a fascist pagan, fuck off, this faith is a peaceful one
No platforms for fascists.

…and right here is why you see me starting to wear non-viking garb in the SCA. Because I’m really REALLY white and really REALLY not a racist, and I hate that these people have found their way into my weekend nerdery.
I would posit that if you feel comfortable doing it, and if you feel supported, you should definitely still wear viking garb and not let fascist nazi bastards appropriate it for their own purpose without opposition. 🖤
I’m not a wiccan or pagan, but fuck if I’m not gonna reblog this. Fuckheads need to stop appropriating peaceful religious symbols for their own ends.
Definately not religious here but if you fuckin nazis don’t put my ancestors shit down im gonna send you to meet em
I always feel bad for people who have Norse tattoos of symbols that have been stolen by racists.
Kaitlin Cawley finished grad school with $95,000 in student loans,
including a $24,000 variable-rate loan that started at 9.4% and now
stands at 11%, a loan that the US government lender Sallie Mae brokered
for her when she was 20.
Sallie Mae’s portal makes it almost impossible to find out how much
you’ve paid into your loans; after a lengthy runaround, Cawley found
that she had paid back $18,000 of her $24,000 loan, but that she still
owed the full amount, thanks to sky-high interest and stiff penalties
the government assessed against her because she opted to save tens of
thousands of dollars by going to grad school outside of the USA.
Cawley comes from a working-class background and her family was not able
to substantially offset the expense of her university. She attended
anyone, convinced that postsecondary education was the path to social
mobility. Despite an advanced degree, Cawley lives in relative penury,
largely thanks to her student debt.
Americans owe $1.4 trillion in student debt. Student debts are largely
not dischargeable through bankruptcy, and is the only form of debt that
you can be forced to pay your Social Security into.
The President of the United States has declared bankruptcy six times.
His university defrauded its students of millions of dollars, which they
are still paying back. He enacted a policy that makes it impossible for defrauded students to escape their loans; while his Secretary of Education has killed the rules that prevented debt-collectors with a track-record of committing illegal acts from collecting student debts.
