3 Stages of Love - Aquarius ♡

In the 1st stage of love Aquarians do a lot of character observation, self-reflection, and attempt to piece you together like a puzzle. They are simultaneously aroused and frustrated by mystique and complexity, and only reveal deeper parts of themselves for momentary flashes and wait for the person to respond. They gauge the level of comfort between the pair and the opportunity for freedom and personal liberty, and their affection and advances can switch on and off like a light - they are suddenly shocked full of romantic hunger and sensuality, and abruptly paralysed back into an empty distance 

In the 2nd stage of love Aquarians can begin acting strangely - even more strangely. The sensation of loving unity and deep, intimate connection can feel like an alien invasion, like another life force has entered them and tangled their thoughts and rationality. They are invested in untangling your web and locating your sensitive spots, your secret desires, your lost visions and dreams. As they grow more comfortable, their intimate gestures become more romantic and sensitive, and they evoke an electricity the person has never felt before. Aquarians can also remain reticent to declare their commitment at this stage, they are often unsure and question if and when this drug will eventually wear off

In the 3rd stage of love Aquarians display profound loyalty and devotion, they have integrated the person into their future and they are no longer afraid. It is now rather the matter that the Aquarius is miserable or afraid when prospecting of future without you. They begin to slowly transport the person into a whole new world of ideas, telepathic and psychic connection, and discover something unique and new to love about you in every cosmic moment. They are aware of every eccentricity, daily ritual, and strange desire and love you the more for it, because it always them to be, and there is no greater privilege or sensation in the universe than this for Aquarius

100 questions to invade my personal life

How To Get A Job Fast As Hell

 @owenabbott​ 

Apply to a  job, wait (1) day, then call.  Give them your first and last name. Tell them you submitted an application and that you’re very motivated to find [Enter field name] work. Let the conversation lead you wherever it takes. Be very polite. Say” thank you for your time, I’ll be looking forward to hearing back from you.” Rinse, repeat. This is to force them to be looking out for your application. 

 When you get to the interview, shake their hand firmly,  tell them your first and last name.  

Describe your experiences  as “ two years transcription and data entry” if you have a desk job interview and “ [however many years]  costumer service, retail and stock” for your retail jobs.  

Don’t use job “ buzz words” I stg they hear them all day. Say  things like, “ I’m detail oriented and am very good at taking instruction.”  “ I would like to work for a company with integrity and I feel that [ company name] would be a good fit”

When they ask you if you have “reliable transportation” say  YES. don’t tell them what kind of transportation, just say yes. (if you don’t do this, you wont get the job , I’m telling you right now). 

Research the company. Know what they do, why they do it, how OLD the company is. WHERE it was founded, and what kind of position you’re intending to apply for.

When they ask you “ give us a situation where you had to blah blah blah” Make one the fuck up. Make yourself sound good as hell, and like you put your company’s needs slightly above the customer’s needs, but make the customer happy. 

If they ask you about being outgoing, Say you “like to focus on your work so you can concentrate on doing things right” (which buys you out of having to act friendly all the time)

Questions for after the interview:

1.  Does this position offer upward mobility?

2. Do you enjoy working for the company? (if you’re not interviewing for a temp agency who will send you anywhere)

 Then, shake their hand,  Ask them to repeat their name (REMEMBER THIS) say thank you for your time, wish them a nice day and leave. write their name down outside if you have to, just remember the fuck out of it. 

AFTER your interview, send a card directed to the name of the person who interviewed you (I’ll give you them) that says “Thank you for the interview, I appreciate the opportunity. have a great day” This shows  that you have an understanding of professionalism, and will have them thinking of you kindly (or at least remembering you) when they’re shuffling through the choices. 

DO NOT tell them you just moved to the city over the phone.  In person, tell them you just moved to the city. Make it sound like the only reason you need a job is because you moved. Not because you’re desperate.

Ravens have paranoid, abstract thoughts about other minds

Add this to logic puzzles, human speech repetition and nonvocal signals as things ravens can do

Cementing their status as the most terrifying of all the birds, a new study has found that ravens are able to imagine being spied upon – a level of abstraction that was previously thought to be unique to humans. 

The ability to think abstractly about other minds is singled out by many as a uniquely human trait. Now, a study from the Universities of Houston and Vienna have found that ravens are able to adapt their behaviour by attributing their perceptions to others.

The study, published in Nature Communications, found that if a nearby peephole was open, ravens guarded pockets of food against discovery in response to the sound of other birds – even if they didn’t see another bird. This was not replicated when the peephole was closed, despite hearing the same auditory clues.

According to the study’s authors, the discovery “shed[s] a new light on Theory of Mind” – the ability to attribute mental states to others. A number of studies have found that animals are able to understand what others see – but only when they can see the head or eyes, which provide gaze cues. This suggests that these animals are responding only to surface cues, and are not experiencing the same abstraction as humans.

The ability to hide food is extremely important to ravens, and they behave completely differently when they feel they are being watched – hiding food more quickly, for example, and are less likely to return to a hiding place for fear of revealing the location to a competitor.

The study replicated this behaviour. Two rooms were connected by windows and peepholes, both of which could be opened and closed. The ravens were trained to look through the peepholes to observe human experimenters making stashes of food. Finally, both windows were covered while a single peephole remained open – and, though no bird was present, the ravens still hid the food as if they were being watched.

“We showed that ravens can generalise from their own experience using the peephole as a pilferer, and predict that audible competitors could potentially see their caches through the peephole,” the authors wrote. “Consequently, we argue that they represent ‘seeing’ in a way that cannot be reduced to the tracking of gaze cues.”

Although ravens may not seem similar to humans, the two species do have something in common – their social lives. Like humans, ravens go through distinct social phases, from fluid interaction with other birds as adolescents to stable breeding pairs in adults. “There is a time when who is in the pack, who’s a friend, who’s an enemy can change very rapidly,” said Cameron Buckner, lead author of the research. “There are not many other species that demonstrate as much social flexibility. “Ravens cooperate well. They can compete well. They maintain long-term, monogamous relationships. It makes them a good place to look for social cognition, because similar social pressures might have driven the evolution of similarly advanced cognitive capacities in very different species”.

It’s not the only thing ravens can do – they’ve also been found to mimic human speech, complete complex logic puzzles and show empathy for fellow birds, which Buckner says could “change our perception of human uniqueness”. “Finding that Theory of Mind is present in birds would require us to give up a popular story as to what makes humans special,” he said. “Completing this evolutionary and developmental picture will bring us much closer to figuring out what’s really unique about the human mind”.

Mutable ~ Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces~

a splash forcing a circle of waves that ripple outward in every direction, catching different currents, and eventually infusing to vanishing with the sea. this is the mutable activity - a grand myriad of possibilities in abstract realities that cannot be defined, nor contorted to fit one identity. mutable is the divine modality, one of these qualities being the ‘image’ of god that is as fluid, changing, and camouflaged - gemini has the twins that switch from heaven to hell. virgo is reunifying the body with the mind and the mind and body with the soul. sagittarius appears as human in the material, but metaphysically they are carried through earth by the legs of pegasus, a unicorn, centaur, or celestial stallion, and pisces as a droplet of the omnipresent soul who is only partly present in this dimension  ~gemini has one material twin and one astral twin. the unification of these dualities is worshipped as the 3rd sign divine child or androgynous adolescent in the centre of two pillars, gods, angels, scholars, masculine and feminine, or the sun and the moon. adding the air of gemini in the mix and it’s almost impossible for the trickster of many names and faces to resist inviting itself in to play some fun and games with the mind and life of gemini.   ~~ virgo is the awareness of disconnections and fractures that need to be reunified and repaired. they experience this physically by a separation of mind and body that is very personally evident to them. and they experience this on a very deep and subconscious level, a disconnection between intellect and the soul’s wisdom, another intelligence that is buried deeply the great mother. the virgo that never goes far enough within to recover these memories may always feel incomplete, abandoned, or that fogginess or heavy cloud that never leaves the head  ~ ~ sagittarius is reborn after scorpio. sagittarius optimism says, it’s ‘good to be alive’, but they only know what this is because they can also feel half-dead, partly numb, half asleep and half awake. the sagittarian task is to complete the enlightenment now the ‘proof’ is there. when the sleeper has fully awakened, the sagittarius feels beyond human - because they are  ~~ pisces senses a fracture or emptiness, they can be quite unsettled in the present because they feel they should be doing something - or something else, and don’t know where to focus their energy. pisces are always ‘behind’ or ‘making up lost time’ because they disappear for short periods, maybe in sleep, daydream, intoxication, or creative inspiration to reunite once again with her sister of the sea, and see their true reflection in her mirror of eternity

Why Yule Needs to Stay Creepy

“…There’ll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago…”

So I have been thinking about our Contemporary conceptualization of the Christmas season a lot lately and it’s kind of interesting. So many things we associate with Christmas – Christmas trees, greeting cards, Santa Claus, his reindeer and elves, gift-giving in general – all of these things came into vogue in the 19th Century and are very sticky-sweet, in my opinion. They’re lovely, but not filling. If we just scratch the surface of the Christmas we know and love and peek back into its history, we find something much meatier.

Before the cheerful Christmas tree, a number of other plants were associated with Christmas. The holly, associated with sacrifice and the blood of Christ, and the parasitic mistletoe, associated with the death of Baldur in Norse mythology – these were the plants associated with Christmas before the Christmas tree became the standard.

Also, the Yule log. The Yule log, meant to provide light on the darkest night of the year, was a magic charm in and of itself. If it did not burn through the night, it would be a terrible omen. By watching the fire and coals of the Yule log, one could also predict who would give birth and who would die in the coming year.  

When our simple Santa Claus is reduced to his predecessors, one is left with Odin, ancient Norse God of battle, Saint Nicholas, the canonized former bishop of Turkey, and Father Christmas, the hard-drinking gluttonous representation of holiday merriment. And all of them brought ghastly friends – Odin, the spirits of the Wild Hunt and Saint Nicholas, his helpers (including Knecht Rupert, Krampus, etc.). Father Christmas, more of a personification of the season than a night visitor, undoubtedly brought many hangovers.

Before stories about reindeer, snowmen, or things of that ilk, there were ghost stories. Charles Dickens did not invent the Christmas ghost story in “A Christmas Carol,” but popularized an already-existing folkloric trend. If we look to the old tales of Christmas, we find stories about witches that rode the night air, cursing the birth of the Savior. There are stories about fairies, ghosts, and Devils that wreak havoc, frightening livestock and damaging property. In an era before television or radio, homemade storytelling was one of the primary forms of entertainment. And winter was the storytelling season.

You also have mumming, wassailing, and caroling – dressing up in colorful costumes and (sometimes drunkenly) begging for money door-to-door. As John Grossman notes in his book “Christmas Curiosities,” Christmas before the Contemporary Period resembles our Halloween more than it resembles the Christmas we know now.

Let us not forget, those of us who acknowledge the Wheel of the Year, that the season of darkness extends from Halloween to Christmas. This darkness only begins to fade when we gain back the Sun at the Winter Solstice. From Halloween to Christmas, the dead may roam the Earth and weird things may happen. In his classic “Mastering Witchcraft,” Paul Huson notes that Yule is not a time for pleasant spell work, but cursing! It is a time of dark magic and mystery. And we need this time. To understand the light, we must understand the darkness – the witches, ghosts, and Devils of the old Yuletide. Like the trees that go dormant, we must embrace the darkness of winter to grow and thrive.
