 Hello, I am a witch and this is my altar.
 
 Here, I dream of a green USA.
 
 covered by the branches,
 my body decays into parts,
 ready to join the next life that needs me.
 
 [read the alt-text on the pictures, or listen to your screenreader for more
 explanation]
a round planter pot with a dead plant growing out of it. At it's feet there are sticks I found outside that are covered in moss - the moss is dehydrated, and so brown and dusty. Sticking out of the pot is a flag of my homeland, and behind it there is a fog covered windowpane. In addition, my cat watches from behind, asking me to open the door for her so she can go out on the porch and freeze for a bit before begging to be let back in. She just wanted to see the cold, I suspect. close up picture of the thirsty moss. There is a small glass jar partly filled with water - I add a bit more whenever I pray, from my water bottle. As it evaporates from the jar, it makes the world just a bit more humid, and better for moss to grow in.  there are leaves and detritus in the planter pot as well, to simulate a forest floor covered in soil. I've sprayed the moss with water, and it awakens and spreads it's arms in exultation. The light from the window behind it gives power to it's ever-beckoning grasp, as it sucks carbon from the atmosphere to build itself as a structure that fights back against disorder. Consuming naught but light, water, and air, it grows forever without a care, and tomorrow our world is more beautiful.

 If you like fantasy, check out this book I wrote a while ago. It's not long,
 and it's free (obviously).

 Honestly if anyone wanted to just... take any of my stuff, even if they were
 just going to sell it, I'd probably give it to them? People in my life say I
 don't function well in a capitalist society. I guess I just trust everyone
 equally.

 Me: "yeah but how can you know that food is vegetarian? They could put anything
 they want on the box."
 
 them: "well yes but you see here are the regulations we have in place through
 the USDA and (department of agriculture) and these and these inspectors and
 this and that procedure and here read through this report with charts and
 graphs and diagrams and"
 
 me: "and they say the government is inefficient. Look at all this progress! Wow
 so productive. So healthy and raw. So prime and"
 
 they: [not listening]
 
 me: "nuts"

 this felt relevant. like... who am I to say that the wisdom of the masses is
 good for anything?
 
 [or just analyze the contents of social media posts. Like, people pretty much
 speak their mind in their echo chambers. It's a quirk of the human psychology
 that we feel alone and by ourselves when we're with family. That's what makes
 it family, the feeling of being one with another. Like... "yeah we're the same,
 we get each other, hey btw look out the windows of our collective home"]
 
 (ummmm yeah so basically people tend to speak their mind when in echo chambers
 and all social media is a succession of increasingly more accurate echo
 chambers that align themselves toward your personality, not ethics and
 morality.)
 
  = also the returned value is not necessarily what was on their mind, it could
  be something they learned from there. humans.pattern_matching_function_exists
  = true;
