Search engines often use so called smart search technology, which uses cookies to formulate infographics, which in turn influences search results.
Google probably associates witchcraft folk with Trump haters (maybe as a percentage of a large number of folk, that may be true)?
But now there's this annoying trend where people who openly practice wicca, witchcraft, or neopaganism are being accused of being racist and commiting 'cultural appropriation' for taking ideas from other practices or wanting to work with deities that aren't strictly part of their own cultural heritage (as if the Gods of our world ever really gave a s**t...)
These witchy groups have all turned very toxic lately thanks to politics.
It's gotten so very absurd lately! It's kinda like how many of these Christian Churches embraced Trumpism. If these New Age spiritual groups keep up with this kind of political extremism they're just going to destroy their own movement by alienating people like me who come to them seeking a healthy alternative to those Abrahamic religions.
That's why I always try to practice my own beliefs alone now and figure out the facts from the BS when i do research. Humans really do f**k up everything during times like these.
Yeah, politics has a habit of turning things sour, doesn't it? People get offended at anything!
Indeed they do. Nothing in this world is safe from politics.

It's one of the sad things about social media. Gone are the days where you can just mindlessly post & have a laugh.... there are a lot of angry, sad people on social media who just want to have a pop at somebody under the guise of being politically correct.

I may invest in a light alarm. I'll order one as soon as I'm not satisfied with an app version.
Because loud alarms doesn't seem so effective for me. Waking up with it just makes it more painful and heavier to get up.
Puts on snooze, ends up having awakening dreams, gets disrupted, repeat.
Until I'm almost late. 15 mins or less to wash myself, eat and travel to work.

Someone I know has a pet rat named Headache. Who would call a pet Headache?

I share your questioning of a name like that for a pet.

Covid-19 progress journal: Day 2
Had pretty good dream last night, but now suffering from a very sore throat. Had some frogs in my throat, and coughed so hard I almost puked.
