reminder to our lovely friends here that we have moved to @chimericalgirls

going to pin this so that hopefully people can find us easier!

we unironically believe in the following things:

- magic
- witches
- faeries
- spirits
- ourselves

...and a whole host of other things that society generally agrees are Definitely Not Real

this post is a ward against creeps.

#introductions

hello, assorted lovelies! your favourite (we hope!) chimerical girls here, new to #weirderearth but not new to fedi

we dwell in the world's out-of-the-way, easily overlooked places, appreciating the beauty that grows only there

we are here primarily for weirdness positivity, and you can look forward to plenty of posts about that, along with our love for darkness, the night, shadows, and liminality

and maybe some occasional anxietyposting

the rest is in our bio <3

our dentist made us get a fancy electric vibrating toothbrush and boy howdy if you had told us last year that we would be taking power tools to our skull three times a day and *enjoying* it this year we would have thrown down

this rant brought to you by the news article series going around in which big journalism outlets fastidiously investigate whether a crowd of jeering maga-hat teens jeering at and physically intimidating an indigenous elder are in fact racist jackholes or just poor misunderstood white boys

it is absolutely impossible to credulously give *any* benefit of doubt to a crowd of white people wearing maga gear, sorry

"make america great again" is inextricably tied up with racism, sexism, islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, anti-semitism, and just run of the mill fascism

that this link is *implicit* rather than *explicit* is a design feature, because fascists are *cowards*

we will straight-up call anyone repping maga *all* of the things above even if it is possible they are only two or three of them

mutuals who post selfies / photos of themselves,

thank you so much for those. honestly they brighten our day every time <3 <3 <3

mutuals who do not,

you are valid and we love you, too! your replies and personal posts make us smile <3 <3 <3

in short, who and what we are is fairly simple:

we are a group of sisters

a group of sisters bound together in a very profound way, perhaps

but also: bound together by a profound love for each other

having grown up as close to each other as we have, surviving any number of horrors together, always having each others' support no matter what the outside world has in store for us

*that* is who we are.

probably the single most important thing about this event is that it brought all of these people together so that we could see we are not alone, that we do not struggle in isolation, that even where our demographics divide, solidarity exist and there are people who have our backs

this is a thing that so many of us struggle with; such a strong showing so early in the year sends a powerful message to people direly in need of it

so grateful that this happened, it is such a big deal

what is going on how is any of this possible
