So based on what I've read so far for primers on chaos magic, I recommend starting with Condensed Chaos: An Introduction To Chaos Magic by Phil Hine, THEN getting the updated and revised and expanded editions of Liber Null and Psychonaut and also Liber Kaos by Peter J Carroll.
Caveats for Condensed Chaos:
misuse of "shaman" and similar terms (none of what is brought up relates to Tungusic peoples)
written by a neurotypical white English bisexual cisgender man, and boy howdy is the neurotypical part obvious in several areas
inconsistent capitalization for concepts, and also inconsistent comma usage
definitely a product of its time and not decolonized, which is a larger problem in chaos magic as a whole
Recommended Audience for Condensed Chaos:
pop culture mages/pagans
those interested in servitors, sigils, or chaos magic more broadly
technology mages
those who want to explore Jungian psychology in magic
As for Peter J Carroll's works... Basically the same as the above, yet also way more difficult to read if you're not used to old grimoire-esque language and writing styles.
I'd still genuinely recommend all three of these, just with the reminder to raise an eyebrow at some of the claims made.
The books I still have to read on chaos magic that I currently own are Hands-On Chaos Magic: Reality Manipulation Through The Ovayki Current by Andrieh Vitimus; Creating Magickal Entities: A Complete Guide to Entity Creation by David Michael Cunningham, Taylor Ellwood, and T Amanda R Wagener; and Magickal Servitors: Create Your Own Spirits To Attract Pleasure, Power and Prosperity by Damon Brand.
Plenty of reading left for me to do on this subject.

dont fucking talk to me if ur gonna act like mental illness is fucking cute or sexy or adorable or quirky or what the fuck ever when its only ADHD and autism and depression and anxiety and learning disabilities but not when its addiction or narcissism or schizophrenia or psychosis or bipolar depression or borderline personality or dissociative identity or complex post traumatic stress - WE'RE ALL FUCKING SICK BRUV ITS ALL ILLNESS. stop fucking romanticizing and infantilizing people with real fucking disorders that fuck up our lives while ur just skipping through life without any obstacles besides the one the system puts in that u dont even fucking notice bc ur privileged to live life as fucking able person.
Tw ableism/sanism, lotsa cursin, derogatory terms
if you say you’re a leftist n then call yourself an empath or say the right lacks empathy or in any way equate empathy to morality, you’re not a fuckin leftist n I don’t fuckin trust you
empathy doesn’t fuckin equal morality. Never has never will. Bein leftist means fightin against ableism, not contributin to it you fuckin morons. People with hypoempathy deserve just as much respect n compassion as all other fuckin people. We’re not bad or evil or abusive or even right wing for not havin empathy. We’re fuckin people first n foremost.
if you claim to be leftist n then throw mentally ill people under the bus, fuck you. I hope you fall down the fuckin stairs you hypocritical shit. If you use words like narcissist or sociopath or psychopath or schizophrenic to describe someone bein a piece of shit, you’re awful. You’re legitimately a piece of shit if you do that. NPD, ASPD, n schizophrenia are actual fuckin mental illnesses that actual fuckin people actually fuckin have. They’re the people you claim to fight for when you say you fight ableism. Yet you throw em under the bus the fuckin second you see behaviour you disagree with. Legitimately fuck you
mentally ill people deserve better. Especially from people who claim to fight for their rights and autonomy
my main acct for witchy shit - idk if this is helpful to anyone on this blog too so REBLOG
I ask the Archangel Michael, all of the Archangels and my Divine Court to cut cords between any negative contracts that I'm corded to now. Please remove the root of all cordings and clear any negative or dark energy in and around me from these cords. Remove all negative energies, frequencies, dark energy and thought-forms, not for my highest or best good or any energy seeking to disturb. Please remove all negative energies and these cordings across all time and space, all dimensions, all levels and on all timelines. I give my permission for you to bless and protect me and my loved ones now and while we sleep. I invite the Angels, Archangels and my Divine Court to place a shield of protection around me now so that I'm safe, secure, loved and protected. Thank you, so mote it be.
Peço ao Arcanjo Michael, a todos os Arcanjos e à minha Corte Divina que cortem os cordões entre quaisquer contratos negativos aos quais tô preso agora. Pfv, remova a raiz de todos os cordões e limpe qualquer energia negativa ou escura dentro e ao redor de mim desses cordões. Remova todas as energias negativas, frequências, energia escura e formas-pensamento, não pra o meu bem mais elevado e melhor ou qualquer energia que procure perturbar. Pfv, remova todas as energias negativas e esses cordões em todo o tempo e espaço, todas os dimensões, todos os níveis e em todas as linhas do tempo. Eu dou minha permissão pra que vc abençoe e proteja a mim e aos meus entes queridos agora e enquanto dormimos. Convido os Anjos, Arcanjos e minha Corte Divina a colocar um escudo de proteção ao meu redor agora pra que eu esteja seguro, amado e protegido. obrigado, assim seja.

Romany witchcraft is considered a closed practice. Romany is a very hard language to learn, and pronunciation is difficult for novices. Please, learn about the Rromani people in Brazil before using that incantation's language specifically - other two are free game along with wtvr dead languages u might want to mix in there for primordial energy.
This is because everything in my life requires work:
maintaining friendships
keeping up with my hygiene
managing bills
making money
remembering my basic needs
sleeping regularly
outputting creatively
All requires some aspect of work for me.
And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.
If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.
If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.
You're not dysfunctional.
You're not incapable.
You're doing your best.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

can i talk about something as a kiribaku shipper without bkdk shippers saying unhinged shit ab it bc like
im not hating on any bkdk shippers that aren't delusional acting like its canon when its not, and im not saying every bkdk supporter is like this BUT
u gotta understand first i dont even watch anime like that. im brazilian-rromani and japanese, it was a cultural thing for me not in the way you think tho. early 2000s was the time people were still throwing out the "beautiful, exotic, Oriental" 'compliments' while kind of transitioning into confused acceptance of the concept of minorities in general, so hearing that shit starting at five plus seeing how women and girls were portrayed in anime a majority of the time was too much for me, it felt disrespectful to the women in my family who didnt need unproportionately sized body parts that were unnerving almost in an Uncanny Valley manner to achieve incredible things, i didn't want anyone associating ME with that image. it felt like being reduced to this one little box and i didnt want anything to do with it
now im older, im dipping my toesies into this side of the internet, i finally find ONE anime i genuinely like, with a WHOLE cast of characters that have real plotpoints and character arcs and AMAZING fan media, all the good shit-
and listen ive been in a lot of fandoms and yea some are toxic some arent but i don't know that i've ever seen the same competition between ships that i do in mha/bnha. i cant go one krbk media without there being ONE comment talm ab "gross i dont like krbk" "this wouldve been better if it were bkdk sorry :/" "bakugou would never do that he only cares ab izuku >:(" LIKE
PLEASE let me enjoy this. its hard enough to find krbk art and media as it is, seeing that bkdk is the predominant ship. u already have soooooooo much shit to comment on, you dont NEED to leave comments on krbk or wtvr other ships deku is involved in that arent with bakugou. we fucking GET IT already.
and just as someone who goes to school to manically psychoanalyze people characters & plots and write way too much about them, i dont fucking like bkdk. THERE I SAID IT FLAY ME ALIVE YOU VULTURES.
deku's morals, values, beliefs? yes spectacular ur doing amazing sweetie
the love for his friends and family and for the whole goddamned world that ends up being the driving force to save said goddamned world? WONDERFUL FABULOUS GIVE ME MORE
his inherent codependency and survival skills centered around that one kid from his childhood who had a really cool quirk who subsequently told him to kill himself?
i get it, they were kids, they moved past it, he apologized, there was character development for both of them, it was a beautiful moment. to me, no matter what it screams stockholm syndrome for both of them bc realistically and psychologically speaking, trauma bonds are never how you want to start a relationship bc its almost never going to end well.
there are exceptions sure. is there chemistry between them? absolutely u'd have to be blind not to see how well they work together when they pull their heads out of their asses. IS THE SHIP VALID? YES. but people saw "childhood connection", took it for "soulmate pipeline" and said it was law as if there's absolutely no possibility of another kind of relationship between them. they fight like brothers, they compete like best friends, they find each other like soulmates - love comes in SO many different forms and you all have the most media showing the romantic type so can you PLEASE leave me and my ethereal stupid little krbk art alone thank you and goodbye
Y'all
Civil disobedience is alive and well. Marcy Rheintgen decided to go into a women's bathroom last month in Florida.
This action is momentous, honestly. She entered the bathroom with a rosary and washed her hands, was given a warning before being arrested for trespassing.
Here's what she had to say about it:
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but she's right. This is absolutely bonkers and it's incredible of her to point this out publicly like this.
She's making good trouble, even before being prompted.
Edit: haha jokes on me. I knew I forgot something. Here's a link to the article
