This is worse, in its way, than the pornbots.
Here's something that turned up in my ask box just now.
...So. You've all seen these. Some of them are genuine. Lots aren't.
Here's where their message leads:
...Okay. The first warning sign: this account is about 3 days old.
But the second: searching on the details of the plea for help via Google, what do we find but...
...Poor Macaroni has repeatedly been hit by cars, and has repeatedly suffered busted femurs, since 2015.
"This," as the saying goes, "starts to look like carelessness." :/
Taking advantage of the kindness of strangers this way is vile... and plainly there's no shortage of people willing to indulge.
So: yeah, I'll be delighted to help the OP get some more traction on this! You betcha. By:
Blocking. Reporting. Reporting to PayPal as well. And dropping @staff a note, when I have a moment. Because allowing this stuff to prosper here just invites more people to try it on. :/
...Pass the news around, friends. ("And call it Macaroni.")
this is my world and all i can think about
Roman Polytheism, also known as Roman Paganism, Religio Romana, and Cultus Deorum Romanorum, is the modern worship of the deities, deified virtues, genius loci (spirits of places), heroes, and deified humans of ancient Rome. This intersects with Hellenistic polytheism, which includes Hellenic, Egyptian, Phrygian, Assyrian, Phoenician, and Syrian deities and Mysteries.
This list of resources is by no means exhaustive, and additions are welcome! Just send me an ask or pm with the book titles or links you recommend, or a note if you wish your blog to be included on the list.

I’ve seen several posts defending Zeus lately and honestly I love it. Entire cultures called Zeus father; he’s a protector of the home, foreigners, and sacred hospitality, among many other things.
For me, at first he felt scary and unapproachable even as the good king of the gods. I eventually incorporated Zeus Erkeios and Ktesios into my household prayers, but not much else.
Little by little, our kharis has grown, and Hera, patient mother that she is, has guided her daughter on the path of devotion to her husband. I am still learning, but now, Zeus feels fatherly and kind.
It’s difficult to explain, but I surprised myself today by praying to “Father Zeus” extemporaneously and just sharing my feelings with him. I’m not close with my own dad, so to be able to do that means a lot.
I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t understand the negative perception of either Hera or Zeus, because in worshipping them, I feel as though I’ve found a family. I love my gods, but I’m always overwhelmed and blown away by how much they love me in return.
