I just wanna be hot and stoned for the rest of my life
I hate what christians did to slavic culture and religion. They erased so much of it, deliberately destroyed so many important objects and places of worship. And it didn't only happen in medieval times, it has been happening up to 19TH CENTURY. Un-fucking-believable.
slavic paganism is beautiful <3
Hi, I hope you are doing well๐น
Can you help by sharing my story, reblog, and donating if you can, to keep hope alive for me, I'm type 1 diabetes. I am calling on your humanity and kindness to help me raise $340.
This amount will enable the approval of an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I have been approved the hardest part is the money to pay for the pump and equipment, please your contribution is important. Be blessed โฅ๏ธ

You know what?
My ancestors would have wanted pasteurization, vaccines, antibiotics, disinfectants, birth control, psychiatric medications, pain management, anesthesia. My ancestors would have wanted to be able to keep their loved ones around longer, and not lose them too early/too soon to childbirths, injuries, bacterial infections, mental illnesses, and diseases that are curable and/or preventable in our modern day life.
Modern medicine saves lives.
