A few of the shorter answers

haikujaguar "asks":
More magical stuff!
That's not a question, really. But I will try to remember to write more about magic soon, both the magic in the everyday world, and spellwork and the like, if I do any. I don't really do a ton of spellwork, and it's as often to help someone who requests it as it is for my own benefit.

We did charge candles at the Brigid holiday to support creative work, and made more than we need. If you'd like one, let me know.

midnightserval asks:
What are you writing right now (non-LJ) and when can I read it?
*sigh* The last non-LJ thing I wrote was my alphabet of gods, which I posted here. Mostly, I'm spending my energy making up songs for Rhys, which mostly come out something like this:
Super Tall Boy
Standing on Mommy's legs
Super Tall Boy
He's as tall as Godzilla

Super Tall Boy
Standing on Mommy's legs
Super Tall Boy
He's as tall as fifteen and a half buildings

I've also got my fake love letters project getting started; unfortunately, that's private work-for-hire and I can't share it.

Once I get focused, I'll probably start doing some editing on some dormant World Tree projects. But for now, getting my LJ back up to a level of discourse I am satisfied with is really my modest goal for now.

From thingtwo:
a friend of mine told me I don't have a train of thought, it's more of a rickshaw. Oh... a topic? Um... Is it ever ok to wear Navy Blue with Black?
My personal opinion is that you can always wear black socks. But coming to me for fashion advice is unwise. Once I wore one navy blue shoe and one black shoe to the offce by mistake --same style, and I was tired and didn't notice until 2 hours into my workday. This was almost certainly not okay.

terrycloth inquires:What, anything?
Sure! Just type over your answer from before and the new one will appear. If it's somehow too personal, I'll send you a response privately. Just don't expect me to get it right if it's technical and in a field in which I'm not fluent. If it's prognosticatory, I'm only as good as my tarot cards.

Those slobbery things? No way! But cats are another matter entirely...

Politics

shardangeli asks:
What is your view on politics? Are you affiliated with any party? Do you think the current system works well or do you think it needs changes?

I assume you mean the American system, even though you are up in Canuckistan yourself. I tend to be a pretty apolitical person, although I'm something of an activist now and again. I tend to fight for the things I believe in, and assume that whatever administation is in place needs to listen. I give a lot of money to the ACLU and environmental groups and huner relief and the like, but I don't ever send money to campaigns.

I'm registered Democratic, since last time I checked you had to be registered with a party in New York State to vote in its primary. I tend to vote more for the electable Democratic candidate in national elections, though I'll vote Libertarian or Green in local elections frequently.

As far as how the system works, I'm really not a big fan of the electoral college. It was a good idea back in the early days of the nation, when people felt a lot more affiliated with their states than with the nation as a whole, and when state "representatives" were more like citizens than like career politicians. Now, I'd really like to see the popular vote reinstated.

In the crazier idea end of things, I'd like individuals to have either a positive vote for a candidate, or a negative vote against one. No candidate with a negative total could take office, even if their total was the highest.

But overall, I'm really extremely politically naive.
