LOVE these.

I really ought to learn how to use a hair stick one day. These are perfect.

What techniques?

Yep. Definitely had this same experience. Not with rocks, specifically, but lots of similar things.

Some of it felt friendly. People were talking to me, at least, even if it was to take my stuff or put me through a humiliation ritual I didn't grasp.

Others I just normalized despite hating.

It looks like the bird is dropping a fiery egg on the beach.

That might actually convince me magick is real.

Yes.

An ex of mine was very conservative and *loathed* anyone different.

In retrospect, I'm pretty sure he was autistic with extreme internalized ableism. Self-loathing is a straight and quick road to bigotry.
