Mister Beast, stay out of Ghana, you have been warned, Vodún was created here and I have no compunctions about seeing a village witch to make it so that when you touch down in Kotoka, it is like your own personal hellish Shutter Island

On 10 January every year, in the ancient town of Ouidah – a former slave trading port in Southern Benin – Beninese faithful gather to celebrate a religion that is often maligned elsewhere: Vodún, sometimes referred to as Voodoo.
Raising spirits at Benin’s Vodún festival
The Vodún festival opened in 1996 after Benin’s government overturned a decades-long ban on practicing the religion

This is your general fucking reminder that Voodoo/Hoodoo/Vodun etc. are closed cultural/spiritual practices and not for crackers.

Happy Anniversary to the Haitian Revolution! Yo peoples was slashing cracker slaveholders with machetes & meeting in vodun ceremony to call on higher powers for aid. They kicked those vile French oppressors out & got a country for themselves, the world's first Black republic. @tichatnwa.bsky.social

What if Aretha Franklin fronted a progressive metal band? It might sound like this. Many contemporary rock bands need to ask themselves if the quality of their vocals is commensurate to the quality of their guitars. This band sets a high bar.

I’ll cut to the chase. The man’s rotting from the inside out. Calling him a walking zombie is an insult to Vodun. He’s held together by French fry grease, aspartame, & being just a quick frequent convenient trip away from more advanced healthcare than anyone else on earth but him has access to.
The White House has yet to release any results from President Donald Trump’s most recent physical exam, a break from its own past practice that’s likely to fuel further questions about his health and fitness. https://cnn.it/3RSGBoe

Pete Hegseth dropping deism and Unitarian Universalism from accepted religions in the military is honestly almost too fucking hilarious for me to be properly outraged about.
