JFC … what fucking panic-inducing drivel is this? Travel Channel has my goddamn number and *this* is the show on vampires they greenlight?!? 🤬

If you never again see me on another episode of any show on any channel connected to these folks you will know this was the last goddamn straw.

I mean, what the fuck is next?

DEMON-HUNTERS: join our crack team of totally-legitimate-demonologists as we hunt witches making pacts in woods with Ol’ Scratch ?!?

Followed by:

WITCH-SLAYERS: They kiss the Devil’s asshole. We investigate by burning them at the stake!

And you know that’s all just building to the headliner series: Investigating Satanic Ritual Abuse Cults Peddling Adrenochrome RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSES!

Is Bigfoot Just a Reptilian? Which of Your Neighbors Are Secretly Nephilim?!?

With bonus barely-disguised blood libel. 🤬

Come on.

25th generation what now?!?

Let me introduce you to the kid posting to occult reddit who is absolutely the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley.

How about the anointed Priest of Atlantis on TikTok?

Or that Illuminati recruiter in your DMs?

*Totally* legitimate. 💩

25th Generation Vampire Hunter (bragging): I watched my dad kill a vampire in Hungary!

…
…
…

Assuming there is even a *shred* of honesty to this boast? What you did, Captain Von Chad, was watch your dad murder a *person*

A person

Another reason I’m so mad?

By including poorly disambiguated mockumentaries in their programming, Travel Channel undermines the legitimacy of *everything* they host.

Why should anyone believe *anything* on their shows after this drivel pretending to be real?

Also, straight-up dismissing the vampire subculture as a bunch of fetishists 🤬

Fuck everyone involved with a hot poker.

I’m RIGHT HERE.

I helped BUILD that community. Wrote most of its sacred texts.

Would you dismiss witches as mere fetishists, too? Unforgivably insulting

My receipts re: the Vampire community:

I wrote this:
sacred-texts.com/goth/vc/index.…

And I wrote this:
sacred-texts.com/goth/vrb/index…

And I wrote the most widely sourced ethical guidelines for the vampire community:
sanguinarius.org/articles/black…

I’m just gonna leave this here:

Some of you (particularly in the US) may find yourselves in a fairly chilly situation today & tomorrow thanks to a harsh winter storm.

Here are some cheap hacks to keep your space as warm as possible if the grid crashes:

Spoiler: you’ll need cloth. Sheets, old towels, etc.,

Drapery: tack up a sheet, curtain, or long cloth across every doorway & entrance to a room. if you’ve got a tensor rod you can put in the frame and a way to hook the cloth over that, great. Otherwise, thumbtacks, nails, even a staplegun will get the job done. (cont’d)

If you have limited supplies, pick the room you’ll spend the most time in & put draperies over all its doors and entrances. This helps to seal in what little heat you have, including your own body heat. It cuts down on drafts. (cont’d)

We can all agree the #Briarwoods are hot, right? (Catch #TheLegendofVoxMachina to see what I mean)

Who doesn’t enjoy a good story of #VampireSexyTimes?

On February 14th, indulge yourself as I lean into every steamy trope of vampire romance in my solo RPG, Midnight’s Kiss.

The best part about writing this solo journaling RPG was making it something you tailor completely.

Queer-positive. Trans-positive. Kink-positive. Polyamorous, steamy, ace, whatever body type you please - there’s room for every story in Midnight’s Kiss.

Vampy, romantic fun 💋

Of course, it helps if you like vampires.

Spend your Valentine’s Day with the vampire lover of your dreams.

All you need is the PDF & a few standard dice or equivalent apps to randomize a moments in the story (although room is left to simply choose your preferred outcome) 💋

For those intrigued by tales of my youthful adventures with Ouija boards, haunted cabins, & strange spirits in the woods, I am pleased to announce my collection HAUNTING EXPERIENCES is back in print. Order on Amazon or buy signed copies directly from me: michellebelanger.com/signedbooks/ha…

2022 will be the year of the -Second Edition, Revised- for me.

We have successfully gotten the rights back to a number of my earliest publications, including PSYCHIC DREAMWALKING, the PSYCHIC ENERGY CODEX & the PSYCHIC VAMPIRE CODEX.

Expect slick, updated editions 🔥

Because all of these books were written 15+ years ago now, these new editions allow me to revisit & reassess concepts that may have changed as my practice has evolved, not to mention update language like pronouns to reflect a more sensitive and inclusive world.

So excited.

So, today is #IntersexAwarenessDay.

Intersex people like me are born outside of binary gender. There is a wide range of how that presents, but we are neither male nor female by traditional definitions - down to our very biology.

This is me. Every day of the year. 🏳️‍🌈

@NoxArcana

A side bonus of how I am #intersex involves my voice. It gives me a range a little like Farinelli. I don’t normally brag about that, but a few years ago, together with @NoxArcana, we co-wrote a song designed specifically to show off my four octave range:

A difficult side of being born intersex is the fact that we are still grossly misunderstood. Our natural state is often perceived as a medical anomaly that must be fixed.

This means many of us undergo non-consensual and mutilating surgeries throughout infancy and childhood.

A very curious thing just happened:

Roomie is rearranging their altar. As they go upstairs, I hear them say, “Oh, hello Bliss,” & talk as if the cat is following them upstairs.

However, that specific cat is & has been in the office with me. I have eyes on her …

When roommie comes back downstairs, I ask if they I actually saw Bliss on the stairs. They describe the cat walking upstairs with them.

Bliss is the smallest of our three cats & unmistakable.

We both had eyes on her at the same time in two different parts of the house. 🤷🏻

This is not the first time Bliss has apparently been in two places at once.

However, it is the first time that two people saw her in the exact same moment in different locations.

And, yes, we both are familiar with the cats and would not mistake her.

I have a (former) friend who is law enforcement (OH State Trooper, last I checked).

He was Nat’l Guard, but only because his wife did not want him to go full military.

He often expressed regret at missing his opportunity to freely kill people in “the sandbox.”

THREAD

His primary reason for becoming law enforcement, stated openly multiple times, was to carry a gun & have the chance to use it.

He joked often about being a sociopath.

Our friendship deteriorated the more he leaned into this (I used to think folks could be reasoned with)

Some weird things: he started out a Goth. A Pagan. Was a DJ. Was bisexual.

By the time he had a badge, he was “straight” - wore an honest-to-gods cowboy hat - wore at least one gun at all times in the house - and somehow discovered a Southern accent.
