refers to practitioners of various earth-based belief systems, including Wiicca. Any other use is a gendered, patriarchal slur, and it is very disappointing to see its use in that way here. Frankly, I am quite surprised.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
