MoonAlchemy’s 2018 Beltane Inspired Giveaway! 

My beautiful alter set up

We’ve learned a lot from how the internet has treated Marie kondo, but my favorite thing was the invention of this phrase “people who think having a full bookshelf is a substitute for a personality” as it is something I haven’t been ae to articulate before this

“it’s alright, i’m here”

Physics time!

I was gonna do my laundry but when I turned the corner and saw this on the ground I stopped what I was doing and decided to make a snapchat story of science (I’m @thescalex on snapchat, if you want my username)

*cue Charlie Brown soundtrack of kids cheering*

There’s your science for the day. Go try it out for yourself!

*UPDATED* in the final picture of the original post, I made the mistake of saying “light as a particle” - I should have repeated the initial description (which is now fixed): the effect is from light passing through a single slit and diffracting, which is more accurate to what is being observed, because each bulb is a “point-source of light.” While the general scientific consensus is that light does indeed have particle properties, this single slit experiment is not a true depictor of those properties. While fewer photons do indeed get through, diffraction still (faintly) occurs between the lines. It’s the double slit experiment where things get REALLY weird, though.

A Magpie Witchling’s 10,000 followers MASSIVE GIVEAWAY

It’s that time of the year again! This is a long post that’s gonna get very reblogged, so I’ll keep it short.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Follow me! (duh)

Likes and reblogs count as entries, but they’re limited to FIVE REBLOGS PER DAY. (I WILL check)

You must be at least 18 years old, no exceptions. The prizes can be transferred to minors, however, with the permission of a parent or guardian.

Side blogs are allowed to enter, and there’s no need to tag your main (here’s to you, closeted witches!) but if you end up winning, you’ll have to tell me your main when I contact you to see if you’re following me! GIVEAWAY BLOGS AREN’T ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.

People who have purchased/purchase my services from my shop (as well as those in the waiting list) have an extra entry as a thank you for your support!

Do NOT tag this as giveaway!

WINNERS

There will be five prizes. Each will be drawn as I hit a new milestone. Fifth place when I reach 6,000 followers, fourth for the 7,000, third for the 8,000, and both the second and first for the 10,000.

The winners will be randomly selected with random.org and contacted via PM, comment, and/or tag, depending on how long they take to respond. If they don’t answer to reclaim their prize within 120 hours (5 days) of being drawn, a new winner will be selected in their place. So please make sure I have a way of contacting you.

For the main two prizes, I’ll need an address I can ship the goodies to. If you can’t/don’t want to receive the package and wish to trade your prize for an intangible one, that’s perfectly doable!

January 9 2018: 2/100 My mom surprised me with a note and a gift card when I got home because I got straight A's last semester. I've always been unable to really focus on school because of my dysphoria and anxiety and this year my mental health had improved so much since I started transitioning :) Although I'm proud of my achievement, remember that your grades don't define your intelligence or work ethic. Strive to do your best and always take care of yourself ❤❤❤

please reblog this if you’re a smaller studyblr with a original content, i’d love to support those starting out and want to follow some new blogs! (also please tag your pictures with #emmastudies so i can find them)💛 xx
