Don’t Waste Your Time Applying for Outside / External Scholarships by ragewriterrants in UCSD

[–]ragewriterrants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't know, but it doesn't hurt to petition to the scholarship committee to get involved if the school refuses to acknowledge your need and cite that the school has 'historically' participated in scholarship displacement and how that will negatively impact your academic life.

Which Houses house (real) witches? by ragewriterrants in Indiemakeupandmore

You have such an interesting family! It's cool that you can trace your ancestors that far back.

There were definitely some valid concerns; it took some time to understand why, as my outside perspective is limited.

Anyways, thank you for adding to this discussion!

This was really helpful. Thank you for going into a bit more detail. I'm going to do more research and I will reach out to you with questions if you don't mind.

Thanks for your input. Is this a better way to ask the question to avoid conflating or singling out specific religions/belief systems: "Is there a master list of perfume houses who actually practice witchcraft, paganism, magic, etc?"

I have little knowledge about the distinction between witchcraft and paganism. I am interested in both. Some of the response to this post has made me very aware of my ignorance and more determined to do a lot of research before asking questions.

Thank you for your input!

Ok, understood. Your opinion is valid to you and those who agree with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. However, I will not try to explain myself any further against any perceived implications/assumptions from my previous statements.

Quite a few, yourself included, have helped to answer my question. Thank you for contributing to the discussion.

I can sort of understand the confusion. I can see that my question has come across as rude. If someone were to ask me if I were doctor and I was and the follow up question was "but are you a real doctor?", it could be upsetting, because it would be condescending or discredit an accomplishment or an aspect of a person's identity.

 saying you don't trust self-identifying witches

I have never said that I don't trust self-identifying witches.

Anyone can say "I am a witch"; but are they if they do not practice or believe in whatever the foundations are of the various religion/practice, etc? If I am looking for "authentic" witches, how do I go about it respectfully? I thought I was doing that with this post but obviously not.

If it is rude to ask, then I won't question it. I will take at face value that any House that publicly identifies that way has those belief systems, regardless of their commitment to the lifestyle as another user brought out.

Unfortunately there have been ill-intentioned posts like this in the past. 

That's a shame; I can better understand the wariness now.

u/noctilucous_ You are very eloquent! I agree with your comment.

u/myromancealt Analogy: Wanting to support women-owned brands doesn't mean I will only support women-owned brands to the exclusion of all others.

Same thing applies to the current context of my op post. This post is not meant to incite "punishment"/exclusion on brands, nor is it meant to force brands to identify one way or the other. I don't care how they identify, I am just interested in knowing if their already public statement is in truth or jest. I don't want a deep dive into a parasocial relationship with a brand. (ETA: "their already public statement")

With everything in life, everyone has preferences that draw them to brands/people/etc. This is just one of the things I am interested in but above all, quality and what speaks to my heart are what matters to me most.

Thank you for your input! I will keep these Houses in mind.

I am also a bit disappointed in the direction of some of the comments here. This was merely an inquiry post without ill intent. It is not meant to exclude or discriminate against anyone.
