Photographer Mattias Klum from National Geographic gets close and personal with a lion.

“and all of a sudden you feel very small” damn right

IT JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED AND SAVED

please, if you are able, do what you can for the asiatic lion. donate, get involved, spread information. there are only about 300 left in the world, and they all live in Gir Forest National Park in India.

the african lion is also estimated to be extinct by 2050 due to habitat loss, sport hunting, and loss of their prey base to the bushmeat trade. these beautiful creatures could be extinct in our lifetime. the next generation may not ever have the chance to see these creatures, there will be no more cute lion vines, there will be no more documentaries, there will be no more zoos or sanctuaries containing lions. there will be no more lions.

if you have any love for nature, any love for animals, any love for life, and if you care at all about the permanent loss of a species, especially one so beautiful and iconic, if you care and if you are able, please donate to help save lions.

Not relevant to my blog, but my inner nature lover is calling

Saw someone once posted a review on a book that said lions dont live in India; sad that some people dont even know they exist.

There’s a fine line between “pushing yourself out of your comfort zone” and “pushing yourself into a mental breakdown” and we need to fucking find it and stop encouraging people to do the second in an attempt at making them do the first.

A German pedagogue named Tom Senninger developed this model called the “Learning Zone Model.” Senninger talks about three zones: comfort, learning (or growth), and panic. I think that’s really important because some people do talk like anything “outside your comfort zone” is automatically good and brings growth.

But Senninger knows that you can only stretch so far before you’ve stretched too far. Both experience, personal work, and therapy can help expand the first two zones and shrink the third, but we’ll always have that place where panic and/or pain sets in, and our goal should be to recognize and respect that in ourselves and others, rather than force ourselves or someone else to “push through it.” There is no “through it.” The only thing on the other side of the panic zone is more panic.

“Edgy” performers take note. Pushing your audience into the learning zone is great. Pushing them into the panic zone is not helpful or entertaining for anyone.

i think a lot about the msf party where kaz tells paz “let me know if the men get too rowdy or vulgar and i’ll talk to them” and then it’s like SMASH CUT TO drunk kaz getting up in front of everybody shouting “take a look at the real kazuhira miller” and dropping trou

If you know of or own an witch-centric/witch-owned e-shop, please send me a link via direct messages only to the store (and let me know what is sold there too so that I can correctly categorise it) so that I can add it to this post.

“Sephora will start selling entry-level witch kits in October.”

All right witches, listen up.

Sephora is to begin selling a “witch kit” next month featuring a tarot deck, fragrances, a sage bundle, and a rose quartz crystal for $42.

I think it’s wonderful that witchcraft is making a resurgence, but what I don’t think is wonderful, is that a huge corporation like Sephora is trying to tap into this market.

Why don’t I like it?

  1. Because Sephora has their fingers in enough pies and generates over $4 billion in revenue per year.
  2. Because witchcraft produce and supplies should be provided by people with knowledge on the practise(s) and who care enough to make sure their products are ethical, of a high quality, and non-appropriative.
  3. Because Sephora will be stealing business from actual witchcraft and occult centric shops who likely don’t make huge sums of money anyway due to the niche nature of the market.
  4. Because Sephora doesn’t need the fucking money!

So, I urge you to share this post and refrain from purchasing this “entry-level” witch kit (and any future witchcraft related product) from Sephora. Instead, support small, witch-owned businesses. We need you and we’ve got your backs.

Here is a list of shops owned by witches. Check it out!

Also they’re selling the sage for “smudging” which, as we all should know, is a Native American specific practice. Seeing sage (white sage at that considering it’s fucking endangered) marketed by a big corporation is especially unsettling.

If you’re looking you get intro witchcraft, don’t buy from a huge money mongerer looking to be “trendy.” Support a small witchy business! Check out the many shops here on witchblr. Especially consider buying from witches of color!
