stuck up white woman who hates being around people especially people of colour: I should be…a nurse…some kind of…caretaker…a high-empathy based role of sorts…
Stuck up white man who believes no one is ever right but him: I should be…a doctor…a police man, perhaps..some kind of job where I must listen without bias to solve the problem ..
There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.
It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic
It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic
Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic
Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.
Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.
THANK YOUUUUUUU~
A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.
aw dangit
Plastics are also petroleum products, so the impact of their production compounds the impact of their waste!
Especially since non-food-safe plastics are barely subject to regulation as-is & the short product lifespan is considered a feature, not a bug— because it makes people have to go out & buy more new plastic whatevers whenever the old ones wear out or get tossed.
Veganism can absolutely be approached with an environmental angle, but choosing plastic shoes over leather & acrylic socks over wool does about as much to save the world as the last (or next) oil pipeline leak. You’re not a hero because you choose to wear vinyl. You’re just the douche wearing vinyl.
A spell to bring someone an oppurtunity! That leads them far, far away from you…
So maybe someone is wearing you down, overstaying their welcome in your life, or just being a pain in the ass. BUT they haven’t done anything to warrant being cursed. That can only mean it’s time to kill them with kindness, or at least chase them away with a blessing!
You will need:
✨Three candles
✨A length of ribbon
✨A coin
✨A box
✨An item representing you
✨An item representing the person you want to banish
To begin:
✨Set up your space to your own witchy preferences, and do whatever you do to prepare for spellwork.
✨Form a circle, and lay out an item that represents you on one side, and an item that represents them on the opposite side. Put one candle behind each item, and one at the top of the circle.
✨Stretch the ribbon across the circle, and connect it to both items. Light the candle that sits at the top of the circle.
✨Sit quietly in front of the spread, and visualize the person in your mind’s eye. There they are, getting on your last nerve. The two of you are surrounded by a shared golden light. But wait, what’s that!?
✨Roll the coin towards their item and out of the circle, “distracting them”
✨As quickly as you can, blow out the candle at the top of the circle, signifying “the winds of change”. Disconnect the ribbon from both items, and turn it 180 degrees so that it now forms a barrier between the items.
✨Light the candle behind your item, and then the one behind the other. Pick up the coin and pass it through the flame.
✨When you are satisfied, put your item into a box, and the item representing the other on top of the box. They now have the whole wide world to explore in search of their blessing, while you enjoy being rid of them. Blow the box a kiss and wave it goodbye.
✨Leave undisturbed until you’ve parted ways for good!
