Okay, I'm moving to @druid ! I imported my follows from this account, but that's a notoriously janky feature. If I followed you here but not there, it's just a glitch, let's jiggle the follow button until it works.

YEAH SEE, GERMANS GET IT

I just had a lovely walk in the woods for the first time in months. It was so nice to get back to nature and to take in the birdsong, the absence of human noise and the vibrant, wet greenery.

It brought to mind my days as a desperate neopagan, after I'd had my first spiritual experience but before I had cultivated myself and become attuned, back when I was desperate to feel "it" again, chasing a spiritual high that I couldn't get back to. Back then I would leave small sacrifices deep in the woods - food that the animals could safely eat/that would biodegrade properly. I would also make small sacrifices of my own blood.

Things are very different now, and it was illuminating to see and feel those same woods again through new eyes. Christians castrated Europeans, so I had to look elsewhere for the gods to undo the curse of my baptism. I had got used to looking past the timeless gods of the forest.

Tens of thousands of years ago, my ancestors were walking those same woodlands. Their understanding of the spirits of the woods was far beyond what I can hope to attain. They threw sacrificial objects, mostly metal tools and weapons, into bodies of water to give them to the spirits. I am a modern man and I can't hope to recapture their mindset fully, but today, I was able to feel the old gods again.

Goodnight!

I think when I get home I am going to have to replay Metal Gear Rising to balance energies

Correct Filian so hard that she graduates

Digitan animation I did some time ago! 🔌​​

Adding censorship to an already pixelated pixel animation feels funny

Today I learned that Squaresoft were LITERALLY going to name the final boss of Xenogears "Yahweh" until the American branch convinced them not to because they didn't want to draw the ire of Christian groups.

In the English release the final boss is called "Deus" but in Japanese it's actually a pun: "Yabeh" as in "yabe" ("dangerous") lol.

the council shall decide your fate

Should I watch North by Northwest or just tune into Vedal and pray that the number of neuroleeches and screechags who join his drunk VC is nice and low?

Wallace and Gromit is fundamentally animist. Anything that's even slightly anthropomorphicised gets a happy ending. I love it.

What the hecc

It really looks like the majority of people aged 25-40 view Christmas as a performative familial obligation. UNLESS they have children, in which case the cycle continuing provides its own incentive.

If I say "I'm really worried about status of the family unit and the future demographics of my society" the statement will be parsed as right wing. "But what about me I'm not heteronormative" -- who fucking cares, nobody cares who you want to fuck, I'm talking about intergenerationality. You could adopt. Shut up.

There really is a psyop to stop first worlders breeding so that the resultant demographic slide renders economic migration the only solution, isn't there? Every time you see men and women hating each other, it's because of that invisible hand.
