Casper Oliver 👻🌈📚 @casperoliver.bsky.social · Aug 27

Live as half god, half man; half dead, half alive. One foot in the pleasures of flesh, the other sinking in the River Styx. Hail Dionysus; father of indulgence and mother of madness. 🍇🍷🎭🐆

A photo of Casper Oliver, a pale chubby trans man with short brown curly hair. He's wearing an ivy crown with grapes, vintage grape earrings, and an ornate devotional necklace around his neck. He's draped in a reddish-pink and white cape and leaned against a small Greek pillar. Atop the pilar is a Dionysus bust statue and a small golden pinecone.

Pale white hands holding a black Muses cup, wrapped in a Dionysian rosary. One of the wrists has a black semicolon tattoo. The background is a reddish-pink shiny fabric.

Had a wonderful conversation with some beautiful souls today at the Treasures of the Unseelie event in Eugene, OR today.

The facets of spiritualism and practice are many, and sharing experiences with other pagans reminds me of how much inner and external magic there is in the world 💜✨

I was already looking to replace it, and at this point I'm just done. Bye-bye to Spotify! 👋 Can't afford it anymore, and I'd wanna give money directly to artists, anyways.

I’m teaching a class about STAR TREK! Next month I’ll explore how Trek reflects America’s “progressive” ideals in each era and how that both expands and limits how we imagine the future. It’s part of Goddard Spark, a program born from Goddard College’s 1940s anti-fascist roots. Learn more below!
