Pictured: Some loose leaf red lettuce

Oh this is a great question! I consulted with my wife about this, and she recommends any kind of red, loose-leaf lettuce, like in the picture below. She also suggested a Napa cabbage. Man, those cabbages taste pretty sweet once they're cooked!

While this is not exactly a perfect parallel to the world we live in today, it does go to show that ancient peoples were not nearly so rigid about sex and gender as people living today would like to assume.

And since her reign was remarkably stable and successful, no one in Egypt considered her being the Pharaoh or wearing men's clothes to be "scandalous."

The office itself was more important than the sex or gender of the office-holder. So Hatshepsut wore the Pharaoh's crown, the royal kilt, the trademark "false beard," and she was even addressed as male by the people, at least within the context of her rulership.

The Pharaoh #Hatshepsut was a woman. But in her role as Pharaoh, she presented herself as a man. When you became the Pharaoh, you became a human incarnation of the male God Horus, and the Egyptians figured this applies just as well to a woman as it does to a man.

I mean this from the very bottom of my heart: FUCK you. FUCK you and your privilege, FUCK you and your "spiritual warfare," FUCK you and your satanic panics, and FUCK you and your cheap, fragile, performative, empty-headed "faith."

It HAS to be some kind of external "Pagan" influence, right? Because absolutely nothing good can ever come from anything that isn't monotheism, right?

Saying, "These people aren't really worshiping 'God,' they're worshiping BA'AL" is real fucking cheap. Their evil and hypocrisy can't POSSIBLY be due to something toxic within their very own religions, cultures or power structures, right?

A Near Eastern polytheist storm deity is not in any way, shape or form responsible for the evil things that people who claim to be Christian, Muslim, or Jewish are doing.

When people start murdering people in the name of HaShem, Jesus or Allah, you don't get to re-write the narrative and blame Paganism.

Everyone who keeps repeating this bullshit about "worshiping Ba'al" needs to treat themselves to a nice hot cup of SHUT-THE-FUCK-UP.

You are so welcome! ❤️

Dua Set! MAY THE SERPENT TREMBLE WHEN WE PASS NEAR!!!

I can't promise that what's happening across the world right now *won't* turn into WWIII. I can only promise you I will do my very best to keep on sticking it to Ap-p with all the good works and vibes I can possibly muster; and I hope that you will too.

Even if your house is in shambles, just cleaning up one little pile of stuff in one corner somewhere is like punching Ap-p right in the kisser. It HATES when we do things like that, because things like that are when Set manifests through us the most.

Maybe that book you've been writing is going to really help someone in need! Or maybe that video you've been working on is just what someone else needs to make it through their day!

Any movement, any creation, any improvement of your immediate environment that you can manage is a DIRECT STRIKE against the serpent - no matter how small or insignificant it might seem.

- Adopting a cat (or another critter of your choice)

- Continuing all that work you've been doing for your academic degree

- Being extra kind to someone who's having a bad day

- Planning that new garden you've been thinking about

- Continuing to work on your art or your writing or other creative projects

- Finishing that new paint job you've been wanting for your kitchen

The best way to fight Ap-p right now includes, but is not limited to, either of the following suggestions:

Yes, the world is even scarier right now than it already was, even just last week. But this fear is designed to make us STOP MOVING and FALL SILENT. To drown us in our inertia, and to make us feel that everything we do or hope for is absolutely futile. That's just how isfet works.

There will never be a point where everything that needs to be fixed in this world is finally fixed, once and for all. There is always going to be some kind of room for improvement *somewhere*.
