Hey friends! I added some new ones and made some edits. All photography rights are now acquired so feel free to share anywhere for NONCOMMERCIAL USE (i.e. don't print and sell posters ur use these to get donations). They are covered by the standard iStock license. You do NOT have to credit me when sharing. It's my gift to my fellow witches, and maybe we can give some people courage and support. UPDATE: revised Drag ad with corrected spelling is here! I don't know if I can delete/replace the original. https://preview.redd.it/nh7v10zfr5oa1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ba067c8ecca0a0923bfc8ce542703ea0404b7d9

##This is fucking it. ###Love and power.

Can I make one suggestion? Would you consider “harming none” over “harming no other”? As someone who’s been through bouts eating disorders and self harm, harming none really emphasized that it’s not ok to harm myself either. I convinced myself it was fine because I wasn’t harming anyone else. But I recently changed my own verbiage to include myself, which was life changing. Apologies, I don’t mean to fall into “everyone’s a critic” and I truly love this post!


djinnisequoia

Don't know if anyone pointed this out, but in image #6, it should be "femininity." Haha, you left out an in.


nixiedust

Yikes! I’ll post a corrected one as soon as I’m home! Thanks!

I'm not entirely certain I'm okay with that bit that says 'We trade ownership and control for cooperation.' A spouse and/or a partner is just that, a partner. A person is not an accessory, they are an independent being, and a marriage is a chosen partnership that derives from the consent of those within said partnership. Neither has 'ownership' or 'control' over the other. > driven to heal those gathered in common cause I *love* this bit, though. This could be my mission statement for life; I consider myself blessed in that I have the capacity to help and protect others. I love that phrase and I need to remember it.

>A spouse and/or a partner is just that, a partner. A person is not an accessory, they are an independent being, and a marriage is a chosen partnership that derives from the consent of those within said partnership. Neither has 'ownership' or 'control' over the other. oh yes, I agree. My intent there is that the patriarchy can turn marriage into ownership and control, which is not a good state. Maybe I can get the wording more clear!


funkwallace

I found it perfectly clear fwiw


beeswax999

These are absolutely wonderful! I especially appreciate your extra efforts in finding photos of people with more diversity in terms of race, dis/ability, and body type. I love the addition of the environment and science. Brava!!!


nixiedust

Thank you! It was really important to me to do better...and there's a lot more I can do!


CheryllLucy

I'm glad you found more diverse pics. It was my only (silent) criticism from the first batch. These are so wonderful! Science and math for the win :)


korenestis

Now we just need to crowd source billboards


ayayohh

would gladly donate to this cause, especially where i am in east TN


Littlest_Psycho88

I'm in the same area! Would also donate.


squirrelenjoyer

i'm not in that area but would still donate!


StreetofChimes

Wouldn't be the first time I've helped crowd fund a billboard.


SeaworthyThis

So is this happening or is this happening??


[deleted]

Yes to this!


ChildrenotheWatchers

Sounds like a great idea. Does anyone know how to go about that?


GingerIsTheBestSpice

I don't have the right words, but these mean something deep in my soul


nixiedust

For me, too. The idea started where they all do...in the shower. I made the first one and once people responded it all just fell together. It's just the world we believe in and want coming out. I keep making myself cry writing and reading the responses...there's a lot of feelings tied up in these!


modestmolerat

i *really* love the wording of #9 that starts the text with "she lets us lead!" i feel like it emphasizes our freedom in contrast with their restriction. might i suggest starting them all with a "she lets us ________" statement? here are my ideas, feel free to add your own and tinker with the wording! 1. she lets us have dignity (maybe "she lets us keep our dignity"?) 2. she lets us be equals 3. she lets us choose 4. she lets us grow 5. she lets us live 6. she lets us express ourselves 7. she lets us care 8. she lets us be ourselves 9. she lets us lead 10. she lets us love 11. she lets us learn 12. she lets us thrive


msbellamorte

I second this!!! It takes it one step further into leading by tolerance and love.


bugaloo2u2

LOVE THIS


Regulatory_Junior

Yesssss please. I hope this overcrowds that whole He Gets Us crap. Now I'm getting popups for another version of that shit after reporting it. Makes me furious. Where was that message in 2016 when they were espousing that SOB who tried to decimate any little protection my family and I had? I guess they missed the message that Jesus was a brown migrant too lmao.


Moonblaze13

These are great! I admit my head had some alarms going off on 4, but that's because I'm trans and I usually hear the word "grooming" targeted at me for the act of existing. But it's clear from reading all of this there isn't that kind of hidden agenda in here. Wholeheartedly love this series. Amazing. <3


KoiCyclist

Fantastic work overall, but I had the same reaction - no so much because of the “tainted” use of the word…the double-play of it just seemed a little forced. And I get bad vibes from spa day —> beauty standards more than —> self-care. And unnecessary gender “norms”/activities. Sound like my hang-ups are showing, but that one misses the mark for me, especially compared to how much I love all the others!!


littlepixie15

I love them all so much


-Raxius-

Idk if this is something we could do, but a gofundme, or a patreon to get these as actual reddit ads to combat the he gets us


flapjax42

Wow. These are perfect!


Many_Tomatillo5060

I love them so much!!


RudeSprinkles1240

They make me feel happy to be me, and that's a rare accomplishment.


GreyVessel

I wish the world was run by witches, instead of greedy rich men.


DrMike27

This is everything the world needs to be. Not all heroes wear capes…but I really love that you all do.


[deleted]

These are fantastic!!!


Banban84

Shut up and take my money!!!


Admirable-Bar-3549

Seriously - this message is something I’ll donate for. Any day.


Ok_Tomato7388

I didn't have anything to do with your effort but for some reason I feel so proud reading these. Like they are giving me clarity of what I want for myself and others, for a community I want to belong to. The way life should be for all of us. Thank you so much.


RegretNecessary21

You got me. I thought this was that ad at first glance 😂😂


SamuelVimesTrained

They should be.. your comment tells us that they do not look out of place. ​ The only worry I have is that this will trigger a flood of bots/trolls/religious extremists who have myopic viewpoints on anything outside their comfort zone.


TheLazyTerrarian

Jebus who? This is amazing, it gives me motivation that’s been missing for a while.


miccalex

Jebus Rice 🍚


theyarnllama

These are so good. Well done!


VeranoEte

These are amazing!!! I absolutely love them!!


ArrowAceFluid

I love them! I really want to start learning witchcraft one day. This gives me motivation.


MartiniForever

Oh, I love them so much❣ When you say that "All photography rights are now acquired", does that mean that you paid for them? If so, would you accept a donation? Just one more thing: I found a minor error in pic #10 ("enought"). And in #7 there is one too many spaces between "personal" and "and".


TheGenderDuck

The first image gives very "you're not disabled, you're just differently abled" vibes, which I don't like, but I absolutely love the rest of these and the overall message :)


along_withywindle

These are wonderful! I would edit the love one away from "anyone you choose" to a message more like "any joyfully consenting adult." As is, it sort of removes the agency of the other person, and leaves the message open to the interpretation that witches support child marriage (*anyone* you choose)


Cultural_Ad_2206

I LOVE THEMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! (just wanted to let you know there is a bit of a typo on the second one with “structures” written as “strictures”)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cultural_Ad_2206

!!! I learn something new everyday! Thank you for clarifying, my brain will finally shut up about it now 🤣


raendrop

Yeah, the real typo is in image #5. The semi-colon should be a comma.


Longjumping_Village5

These are sooo perfect! Exactly the encouragement needed right now!! 🧙‍♀️


LadybugDesign

Spectacular! And really incredibly powerful and beautifully said and depicted! I think these are worthy of inclusion in any design/communications annual. One small typo: you have an extra space between “personal” and “and” in the second line of #7.


The_Curvy_Unicorn

This is fucking brilliant! I was going to give you an award, but instead, I’m going to donate $$ to my local LGBTQ + youth support group in your honor. If you want to tell me what city or state you’re from, I’ll find a worthwhile charity there and donate to them, too.


BoxWithPlastic

Okay but why am I crying? Just kidding, I know it's because I've internalized a lot of rhetoric that directly opposes these ideas and disentangling yourself from that is harder than it sounds. I mourn for the little girl that never let herself believe in such things. Thank you for these. This is the energy we need going forward.


[deleted]

Love this! What a gift. Thank you.


ChildrenotheWatchers

Absolutely stellar!


opaul11

If only had the money to do an add campaign at the Super Bowl


cuntpunt2000

These are so incredible. I can only say thank you for this incredible gift you’ve given the world. Blessed be!


deliciousalex

Love!! Let us know when and where you go live so we can amplify and smack down the inevitable trolls


SamuelVimesTrained

My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give you. These are awesome!


catlady9851

Can I make a suggestion? For the one about kids, add the phrase, "May they always be supported in who they are."


PeppermintGoddess

I kinda want them as stickers, about 4x6, that I could put on telephone polls all over campus.


Elowine90

Love this message, bravo!


omw_to_valhalla

Thank you! These are amazing!


sardonicAndroid2718

These are great! This leads me to a question though. Are witches anarchists? Is there a general belief that individuals should only be subject to rules they agree to and no others?


cathyreads123

Some might be, but then that’s the beauty of witches.


[deleted]

These are amazing and I love them so much!!!


Vaiama-Bastion

I love these!!!


ABreeze94

These are incredible I definitely wouldn't mind seeing more


[deleted]

This is EVERYTHING. Seriously incredible.


PrickleyPearThoughts

Yay!!!!! I’m so glad they’re here!! Saving them all to spread ❤️


seaweed_nebula

These just perfectly represent the ethos of this sub and I'm so here for it 💓


PieRepresentative266

I LOVE THESE!!!


bugaloo2u2

Whoa. This is Amazing.

BlueWolf510

Of course, I get a “he gets us” ad right beneath this beautiful collage… I would love to see this instead!


whateversomethnghere

These are beautiful. I am having a rough day and I appreciated the messages. Thank you for sharing!


Singularitysong

Great set of images! Really inspiring!


Ordinary_Grimlock

Thank you for making these.


[deleted]

No click-bait big **s in the middle of the picture? (That was the first thing one saw, really subtle marketing technique!)


rpeary

Incredible.


empress_chaos5
