scooter-witch: upthewitchypunx: upthewitchypunx: Just had another minor issue with Frater MFC but was able to figure it out. I told it it was a good printer and asked if it would like a treat like a sticker. Then I wondered who the patron saint of printers was and it’s Saint Augustine of Hippo, which is not quite the same kind of printer, but not too far off. maybe I could get it a medallion? Then I realized I have a Johannes Gutenberg award I won in high school Graphics class* so I think I’ll give it an award. *I spent a lot of time fucking around in class including printing the two colore ..read more

People who schedule time to browse the shop and don’t show up, cancel, or reschedule are the fucking worst. I cleaned our holiday rush work space, hid our giant pile of shipping boxes, rearranged my work day, and even took a shower.

The whole Christians stole the Christmas trees from pagans has always been funny to me. Maybe folks brought some boughs in the house to spruce the place up in winter or whatever and make it smell nice, but they also brought in firewood to keep the place warm.

Like, They probably spent most of their time outside most of the year, trees are just there, all the time, being living trees ..read more

German nationalists making shit up trying to “prove” that Christian holidays had no connection to anything Jewish. People failing to understand that European converts to Christianity retained many of their old customs and traditions, because Jesus being Lord doesn’t mean there’s no dragons in that there lake or that the plant lore everybody knows is all bunk. People m ..read more

Plaid Pantry stores in Portland are so hit or miss. Our regular one we stopped to pick up a six pack on the way home from a show was super chill. Two folks smoking cigarettes outside opened the doors for us. I mentioned having a cut on my hand and the clerk already had the first aid box open and handed me a band aid as I headed out. We drove by a second one that looked like a scene from Mad Max outside ..read more

thescythequeen: ad-caelestia: lazywitchling: upthewitchypunx: Saw a folk magic post about not sharing your personal shit online, which I mostly agree with. Almost reblogged it, but thought they might not like my nonsense. I figure, share what you want, but also throw in some fake shit. Why not? It makes it more fun. When posting about my own stuff, I almost always change a detail or two. I might say ‘jar spell’ instead of 'sachet’, or change an herb that I used, or omit a step, or something else like that. Why? Why not! piggybacking to say that the internet will never see how i actually ..read more
