After a really stress-filled day yesterday, I'm really looking forward to spending time with online friends in #CircusInPlace tonight.
Thank you all in advance for coming to visit the clowns as we practice throwing ourselves at the floor, acrobatically speaking.
See you starting at 8pm UTC-5:
@qdot if you haven't heard Dorian Electra, I highly recommend them. Very fun, totally worth going for the music video for some context.
I haven't heard of amnesia scanner before, would you recommend any particular album?
@qdot I think some of it morphed into neon retro wave (like The Rain Within?) But I'm not entirely sure. If you haven't seen it already, you might wanna check out hyperpop, too, though it's a little less industrial.

Hey fedi friends! I've been loving Momodou @Saikoubarry 's toots on here about his trees and life in his village, but recently his area was hit by a flood like they'd never seen before. It literally carried off the roof of his house! https://mastodon.xyz/@Saikoubarry/106548104657732650 (Image description: A round one-storey house with the roof torn off, the support struts left bare, with supplies and items surrounding it.)
Georg @gcrkrause has been raising money to help Momodou's family repair the flood damage, and plans to send the funds in a couple of days (and will provide the receipt, of course). If you'd also like to chip in to help Momodou out please contact Georg for his PayPal! It was my birthday last month so also consider it a birthday gift to me? 
@dumpsterqueer you might be interested in capsul.org. We're currently at capacity, but we are a little volunteer hosting group maintained by friends.
Unfortunately, we're US-based and don't offset our carbon use, so I'm not sure we're a perfect fit, but I thought I'd letcha know we're out there. Cloud co-op is starting to play in this space a little, too, but the timeline might be out a little ways still.

To quote my mother: "Gud är icke-binär. :)" > "God is non-binary. :)"
Witchcraft, appropriation, racists, newbies
@vortex_egg I think a lot of this weirdness is predominantly online, though?
Like, there's a looooong history of appropriation and occult stuff. You cannot learn in this space without reconciling that at least a little bit. There's been some really great content at local pagan events coming from speakers from various cultural backgrounds and helping to mend fences.
I think some of the heart of the issue is that online communities feel cohesive, but there's no real way to get a good feel for how respected someone is, only how many 'follows' they have, which is usually more related to activity than anything else. You get a bunch of relative newbies in the same place and a strange 'averaging out' happens. If a relative expert moves in, no one can tell, basically?
It feels like statements like 'its unethical to learn magic from a poc if you're white' come from a place of wanting to respect sacred secrets, but it's just wildly misguided. It's a 'compromise' kind of idea that let racists and well-intentioned liberals co-exist and I find that super troubling.
Thankfully, I haven't seen anything like that in our local community, but stuff like this just underscores the importance of *having* a local pagan community.
