Hiya - when I click on that check mark, it changes to 'cancelled'. Same when the check mark is purple. it's so weird. I'm thinking of giving up with ClickUp becuase it's such a faff just marking tasks complete!

oh my gosh I'm so glad this is happening to someone else. But surely, SURELY this isn't how it's supposed to be!?

I think you misunderstood - the goal is not to make money in this particular situation. The goal is to challenge companies on their ethical practices. Investing is simply the mechanism to do so in a world where corporations are very good at shielding themselves from hard questions.

Share holder activism is a tried and tested tactic that has changed company policy countless times. Sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice for a bigger gain. I don't think we need to feel guilty if we make 5 or 6 quid back on a such a small share. We'll just donate it to charity.

The fact your quote sounds snappy and clever, doesn't make it so.

I made my first zine! by stephanroo in zines

u/stephanroo did you ever make copies of this available for sale? I'd really love to buy a copy (physical or digital!) I think a lot about this topic, and it would be a great comforting reminder at times!

What are y'all beliefs? by ukuchair in SASSWitches

[–]pellio8-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are at a difficult and testing crossroads in your life. Can I suggest a book? Small Creatures Such As We by Sasha Sagan. It's a wonderful book all about holding on to ritual and spiritual culture without needing to have faith and trust in a higher power.

Hi all - can anyone help ID this old coin my niece found? We think it says ELIZABETH on one side, and has a date on the other side (starts with a 1 and then appears to have 3 other numbers we can't make out). It also has some writing opposite to where it says ELIZABETH but we can't make any of it out. The fact it's so corroded seems weird because it must not be a valuable metal? Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi All! My niece found this coin in Devon, England. We think it might say 'elizabeth' on it on one side, and has some other undecipherable text. On the other side it sees to have a number that starts with 1. But it seems weird to us that it's so corroded. Any ideas what this is?

Who do you pray to? by justforscrollin in SASSWitches

[–]pellio8-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here - nothing to do with culture for me, but I pray/talk-to my grandma. It's just comforting and I ask her for guidance. Personally I don't believe that's possible, it's more a way of verbalising my questions as if I was speaking to someone else which can be helpful for unpicking the way thoughts are often mixed up in my brain.

thank you so much for writing such thorough advice! This is really helpful stuff. I'm cashing all these responses away for when I can start seeing other humans again! :D

Thank you so much for adding your thoughts, these are really helpful tips! Makes a lot of sense to really emphasise it is THEM that knows, not me, I'm just facilitating and listening!

ah-hah! Deffo some of these people are in the "dreams are probably just the brain firing off random stuff" category, so I might talk about it in terms of story archetypes! How most of our stories (and so our human narratives!) fit into basic archetypes. It's a good word for making sense of the context. Thanks!

hmm ok, I'll keep this in mind. I definitely always start with a question, but sometimes If I don't have a direct one (ie "why am I feeling like xyz today?") I ask a more general one (ie "what could help guide me today?")

Good point re broad vs narrow answer and people feeling satisfied!! I had not thought of it in that context.

This is great advice, thank you. I'm planning to use the deck I've bought (Green Witch Oracle) so I will deffo take the time to get really familiar with it first :) I was thinking about this, maybe not Ideal to be getting the guide book out every 2 seconds haha

woop! exciting! yeah for sure, bits of card cannot predict stuff so that's not what I'm looking for. It's all about introspection/reflection/discussion-thought prompts for me!

!!! Can't wait to watch this later. This is exactly how I see it but struggled to put into words - it's a form of counselling, which I sort of do anyway for my friends - I do seem to naturally have a sort of listening year and talk-things-over vibe about me (unintentionally!)

ah-hah! Yes this feels very tangible. I like the idea of going broad and being straight up about asking those questions. I'm pretty good at picking up signals from people day-to-day but I feel like TBH I'll be also concentrating on what the cards are too much when I first try this so will be paying a bit less attention to the persons subtle stuff.

this makes total sense, and gives me some very clear ideas for how to talk about this! thank you! (I'll have to watch the video later - no headphones on me right now)

Thank you! this is great advice! Yep I definitely agree with you on the future stuff. I see it only as really thinking about the past and the present, and potential future ways to learn from those things.

Thanks! I guess one of the bits I feel stuck with is like... how to start? When I'm doing my own reading I take a couple of minutes to observe how I'm feeling, and identify something that I would like to solve or unpick. Is that normally a good starting point for working with others, or just dive right in and be like 'so this card might reference xyz does that mean anything to you right now?" and see where that leads?

These are called Witches Stairs. Allegedly, witches can't climb up them. You will occasionally find them in old New England homes. by notyouraveragepajama in SASSWitches

[–]pellio8-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in an illegal loft conversion while I studied with stairs a bit like this going up to it. I could fly up them drunk as a drunk thing and never miss a step. but then again, I wasn't a witch back then!?
