He had sent the text and start a machine to start analyzing the blood samples the had received on a case he had investigated yesterday, it would take some time before it came back with the results.
[Text] Yep, almost I’m heading to make some final touches and help with the last details…..
[Text] Are you still wanting to come?
Jinx begun to cross the street she smiled at Barry’s message. As she stepped out into the street she’d seen the walk sign and thought it’d have been safe.
A black suv came speeding up towards her, ignoring the red light, jinx looked up in time to jump and roll out of the way. She slammed into the ground and grunted before quickly getting up. The suv turned a 180 and tried again at her. However jinx had already taken off running. Her bag flying behind her phone clutched in her hand. Her jeans newly ripped and her hair tousled. But surprisingly no scratches. She dialed Barry on her phone, “H-hey Barry! Uh……soo th-this might be strange but can I come to your work for a bit?!” She asked her voice breathy from her still running.

James turns to Elsa and nods in response before focusing on the road. “New York is a very busy city. Millions of people live here and all from different parts of the world. All of different religion and speak different languages. A good place to live and where people feel if they make it here they can make it anywhere.”
“It’s definitely not the Swiss chocolate I’m used to but it’s still almost as good.” She said before taking another bite of the brownie and ice cream together. It melted in her mouth the sweetness of it all bringing sweet childhood memories to her from when her and Anna has been close.

Two years ago, I had a Deaf girl show up in my drivethru on Halloween. Her mom was kind of sad when I tried to offer the girl candy, and you could tell it’d been a rough night. I asked her to get the girl’s attention, and then signed to her the way I learned from those top gifs. She started laughing and clapping her hands at once, and when I held out the bowl of candy she was DELIGHTED. I think there’s a very serious possibility I was the only person all night who was able to share with her that way.
I recently went to see a forum where a Pagan speaker was representing Paganism in an interfaith context. Before that, I attended Pagan Pride earlier in the month.
In response to the ahistorical and inaccurate statements I’ve now witnessed repeatedly, let me just say:
1. Not all Pagans are witches and certainly not all witches are Pagan. Seriously, there are secular, atheist, agnostic, humanist, Christian, Jewish, etc witches. They do not identify as Pagan.
2. Not all Pagans worship a God and Goddess. Certainly, they do not all believe that all gods and goddesses are faces for such.
3. Not all Pagans believe in or worship “Mother Earth.”
4. Not all Pagans believe in a strict duality of “masculine energy” and “feminine energy.” In fact, historically speaking, most of them didn’t. Gender essentialism is not found in every path. It’s transphobic and erasing, non-binary phobic and erasing, and really damaging even to those who do identify with the gender they were designated at birth.
5. Many Pagans do not all follow “Harm None” or the “Rule of Three”. That’s a Wiccan thing and even then, not an “All Wiccans” thing.
6. Some of us practice cursing. Stop “No True Scotsmanning” the practice. Stop calling it “black magick”, that’s racist.
7. No, cursing is not the same thing as hexing. Hex is just the German and Pennsylvania Dutch word for spell. Hence hexenmeister meaning spell master. Saying a hex is always a curse is like saying a spell is always a curse.
8. There was no great period of a grand unified Witch Cult that all got along and worshiped the same before the evil Christian men came along. Pagans killed each other over whose gods were better. Gods were used in propaganda machines – many of our myths boil down to, “My god can beat up your god.” Also, Rome burned witches long before it was Catholic.
9. Flying ointment is not applied via the vagina using a broom handle. Don’t do that. That is a fantastic way to absorb poisons through a mucous membrane and get splinters. Seriously, that’s how you get splinters in your vagina. Or die. Or both.
10. I am less concerned about the persecution of affluent, white, ciscentric, heteronormative, gender essentialist, psuedo-liberal Paganism than I am about the ongoing oppression, exclusion, erasure, and appropriation of other cultures by modern Paganism and the ongoing problems with sexual misconduct by Pagan leaders. No, your persecution complex really, really doesn’t override any of those concerns.
11. There is no Witch Pope. No one can excommunicate a witch for not witching the way they want them to witch. Please stop saying there is only one way to witch and that you speak for it.
