As a Heathen I honor multiple gods but two of the ones I feel closest to are Freyja, the goddess who embodies love, sex, and war, and Eir, the goddess who embodies health and healing. Their relationship with me means a lot and I can't be who I am without them. #Pagan #Heathen #NorseMythology

Any American general officer who has his regimental band play the Marseillaise during a battle to rally his men is lethality personified

When you get sick and thousands of Americans start to die during another pandemic, blame the Republicans who fired all the disease scientists.

Maybe AUSA could give some money to service members who aren't able to pay their rent or bills instead of paying for generals to visit DC for a boondoggle "conference"

The Heathen Historian @heathenhistory.bsky.social · 10h

Sorry but calling AUSA, the Army's largest Defense Industrial Base party of the year, a "professional development event" is beyond silly. Spend that money so soldiers can buy food instead.

I'm sick and tired of saying how evil these people are, and how long they've been waiting to be able to spread fear and terror, but they keep heaping shovels full of evil on themselves. Kristi Noem would be proud.

They won't vote to open the government back up but they'll vote to give their leader a prize they don't have the authority to give him. That's how stupid and fascist they are.

If you order the military to "fight crime" in American cities then you should never ever ever ever win a Nobel Peace Prize let alone be nominated for one.

If her fetus is "in her placenta," that woman is in a ton of pain and the pregnancy's a nonstarter anyway. Good lord, don't take medical advice from this man.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

The Danish study that looked into this has been roundly refuted by numerous professional medical journals and autism researchers. You think it can't get any more insane and then they turn it up to 11.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 1d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Defending the Homeland means ensuring Americans are brought into line and have "love and enthusiasm" for the dear leader. This is what your military is doing.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Hegseth: "There's no other way to create that kind of love and enthusiasm than with your leadership, sir. And it is an honor to work with Pam and Kristi in these cities across the country to make sure American citizens and law enforcement are protected with our National Guard. That's a core mission"
