Maybe someone here can help me find this book. I’m looking for volume 3 of the Jungian Trilogy about tarot psychology by Robert Wang. I can find volume 2 and 3 without problems but volume 3 is seemingly impossible to find. Is there a digital version somewhere maybe?

Hey fedi, I need a label printer do you have recommendations?
Must be the type that can print more complicated sticky labels, like with a logo and/or multiple different text sizes as opposed to a simple label maker
the labels need to be somewhere between 10 mm and 30 mm by 30 mm to 70 mm.
fixed sizes and having to swap cartridges is fine
ideally it would be usable without extra software directly from cups via lan

MissConstrue on MastodonNow that David #Copperfield is in the news again for being an #Epstein creep and buddy, let me tell you how I know the girls who accused copperfield of drugging them are not lying.
The year...sometime in the early 80s, me fresh back from detention in a convent ( ok, school, whatever), working at the yacht club for summer so I could afford to sail my little boat, and one of the members gave me and another girl tickets to see the show and backstage passes.
The show was amazing, he was a great illusionist, and we went backstage and ... my dudes... the variety and copiousness of available intoxicants was amazing, even by Florida standards.
What he and his enablers failed to take into account is that I am the Pearly Sweetcake of my generation. Ha. I ended up calling my stepdad and uncle to come get us, and we took half a dozen other almost passed out teenage girls with us.
This was clearly a modus operandi.

#WordWeavers 2026.02.02 — Do you enjoy writing "good", "bad" or morally grey characters more? Why? CW: Morality vs Ethical behavior.
In that "morality" is subjective—based on a set of rules that a powerful person or organization, generally religious, has set as good and just—my characters are to a large degree amoral. For example, women who act independently upon their desires and ambitions, especially without the "guidance" of their father, brothers, or husband are amoral by definition and therefore branded as bad by one or another religious standard. Such things are not considered negotiable. Except by the hypocrisy of bribes or raw power.
If we substitute "ethically grey," the goodest of good characters I depict display ethical flaws. I don't write fairy tales, and my princesses are not of the Disney persuasion. I enjoy making my characters wrestle with their ethics and principles, or to act with limited or misdirected ethics and principles, to contrast the good, the bad, and the ugly in people and society. I enjoy highlighting how morally bad women can be seen as ethically good women defying oppressive authority. If I could not write about the oppression of women and about the abuse everyone, regardless of gender, suffers thanks to the social and moral gender roles indoctrinated into us, I would not be writing at all.
