Rosa Hekatena
A middle-aged British witchy woman, perma-sick with M.E., fibromyalgia, diabetes, and a whole lot more medical crap. I'm a liberal, I'm aro-ace, a gamer and a history, politics and true crime nerd. I am quite content being ruled over by Miss Pepper, my fantastically fluffy, friendly, feisty, fickle, funny, fidgety, fussy and faah-bulous feline friend - it's easier to just accept that she's the boss!

Last Notes npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch I've just started reading the first book in Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series, 'The Last Wish'. I spent ages playing the video game, 'The Witcher III', & I also watched some of the Netflix TV show. I loved both - especially the game - so I guess it was inevitable I would eventually read the books too, M.E. & fibromyalgia brain-fog willing! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch This is ridiculous! Trump is outraged about the smoke and pollution from the Canadian wildfires crossing the border and 'invading' the US. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Air Farce One, surely? npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Ohio politicians were apparently too busy to push through an uncontested, bipartisan-sponsored, zero-cost bill to end child marriage. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Tolkein was just one man, and he never sought to argue that his works were anything other than fiction. And he created Smorg the dragon, which makes him awesome (to me, anyway!) 🐲 npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch It was a pretty spectacular accident when a truck carrying fireworks caught fire in Tennessee! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Long story, but… I just ate a cat treat by mistake. 🙀 npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Thank you, npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch I'm sharing this, not just because it's amusing to see ICE agents completely flummoxed, but also to show my American friends how to stand up for themselves if pulled over by the thugs: throw the Constitution at 'em! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch I think I'm going to have to give up on buying bitcoin to use as zaps. I thought I'd managed it on Coinbase, but fell at the last hurdle. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Thank you! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Thank you! Wish me luck! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch It's the British cryptonoob woman back again with another beginner's Nostr Zaps question! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Beginner zap question: what currency do you buy for use with a Lightning wallet, and how do you turn that into sats? I'm really struggling to understand, and I'm assuming there is a conversion process, because there isn't a currency named 'sats' or 'lightning' as far as I can see. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Amazing video I found on Bluesky. It pretty much sums everything up! #popesplaining npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Oh, this is hilarious - Roman Catholic (since 2019) US Vice President JD Vance tells actual Pope Leo XIV he should be careful opining on matters of theology! #popesplaining npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Hey Nostr, how do I add money to my wallet so I can send sats? npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Random Rosa Fact: I was born in Blackpool Victoria Hospital which is only a stone's throw from the zoo, & when I arrived in this world, the lions roared, which I think is pretty cool! I was also born under a full moon, which explains a lot! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Great news from my local zoo: Blackpool Zoo (UK) has welcomed a (very cute) baby giant anteater! Its sex is unknown as the zoo won't disturb mum & baby yet. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch After a couple of days throwing up with a bug, ignoring news, I'm a bit late to find this speech from French Senator Claude Malhuret about Trump's USA, the threat from Russia, supporting Ukraine, & rebuilding Europe's defensive power. All I can say is bravo, Monsieur Malhuret, bravo! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Trump and co. think it's funny that intelligence suggests that Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is gay. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Hats off (or a papier maché lion's head off) to the police officers of Bangkok! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch So Noah had baby vegetarian dinosaurs on his Ark? The same dinosaurs that were extinct before humans existed? npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch What the actual……??? npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch For a British woman, I've somehow become obsessed with American politics. (Hey, don't judge - our UK politics don't usually require popcorn!) 🍿 npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch I love this meme! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch I'm not sure what is more ridiculous; Venezuela's María Corina Machado giving Trump HER Nobel Peace Prize, or him accepting it as though that makes him the recipient now. (It doesn't - he has the framed medal, not the prize.) Why did Machado do that? Does Donald have dirt on her? npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch I'm not sure what is more ridiculous; Venezuela's María Corina Machado giving Trump HER Nobel Peace Prize, or him accepting it as though that makes him the recipient now. (It doesn't - he has the framed medal, not the prize.) Why did Machado do that? Does Donald have dirt on her? npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch "Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience." npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Well, cats ARE liquid… 😸 npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch This is truly scary - the terrible things happening in the USA right now. The government are sending in their racist ICE thugs, and the immigrant communities are terrified. Even being a legal US citizen won't matter to Trump's and Hegseth's henchmen, if you aren't white. Your views must also 'align' with those of the Administration now - check your social media history. Seriously. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Well, that's… reassuring… 🫤 npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch How long until Donald starts playing with the nukes? This is nothing to do with party politics - Trump is just having fun with abusing his power! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch I found this video from 2024. A weird night shift for the cops! Matthew Pancake, was caught breaking and entering a pet store. He wore leopard print PJs with pockets inside and many gerbils/hamsters stashed within. Sadly, there were casualties (likely including Mr. Pancake's dignity!) npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Just found a video from 2024. It was a weird night shift for the cops! A guy, Matthew Pancake, was caught breaking and entering a pet store. He wore leopard print PJs with pockets inside and many gerbils/hamsters stashed within. Sadly, there were casualties (likely including Mr. Pancake's dignity!) npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch People are going crazy trying to understand Trump. I'm British but my take from the outside looking in is that he's deliberately causing extreme chaos as he wants a big legacy like that of his dictator heroes. He doesn't care about morals and ethics, he just loves having so much power, and wants to push against and through any boundaries that he deems to be threatening his 'superiority'. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Seriously? You can't face your feet getting wet in a puddle, so you tear out stones from the walls of a partially ruined, centuries-old castle for use as stepping stones? npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Having a monument created in your honour is normally conceived of, designed, and brought to fruition by other people, and generally posthumously. You don't arrange to have them built, choose the design, nor fund them yourself - that's narcissism in the extreme! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Miss Pepper the tiny ragamuffin cat is not amused! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Well, this would definitely raise eyebrows (and possibly cause fighting) among the St. George flag-wavers and Farage fans if it was suggested that the UK follow suit! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch The UK's Online Safety Act's new mandatory proof-of-age checks have been implemented on many websites now. The intent of the law comes from a good place, but it's been badly bungled and heavy-handed. It was designed to stop kids seeing porn etc, and to protect them from potential abusers, paedophiles, groomers, gambling, the glamourising of smoking and vaping, recreational drugs and alcohol, addictions, images of self-harm etc. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch The UK's Online Safety Act's new mandatory proof-of-age checks have been implemented on many websites now.

(8th of July 2025) npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch What a day - first I heard wailing and screaming in my house, despite only me and my cat being there. I do hear voices on and off due to mental issues, but this time Miss Pepper also heard it and freaked out! Secondly, just as my last carer of the day was about to go, I smelled burning - fortunately he was in my room and noticed the fan on the table next to my bed was heating up and just about to catch fire, so he unplugged it and took it outside. Apparently it was incredibly hot - I don't know what I could have done if he hadn't been there. Kudos to Jamie for saving me and Pepper! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch it's sad to hear of Pope Francis' death. He was a breath of fresh air for the Church & always saw good in people, even when he disagreed on things. He was a bit too liberal for a lot of the clergy. I won't be surprised if the next Pope is much more conservative & undoes a lot of Francis' good work. npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Good bot! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Courtesy of the current edition of Private Eye magazine! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch Sorry about this video being linked to X, but I love this video of a skateboarding dog! npub1n50zz9jtj3l6tqumre62axf6m7jp2c4srar6u7lq4nl67e9t6l2s9gh67c RosaTheWitch The bit that confuses me about all the Americans who voted for Trump, is that now it's all going crazy with the tariffs, and job losses, and farmers in despair, is they seem to have forgotten what happened during Trump's first term.
