Seriously. It gets creepier the longer I think about it. Why "asset?" Why not "agent" or "volunteer" or even just "psionic" by itself? - ThreadSky

kinda in the same vein it feels yucky when people say they “use [insert deity/spirit]” when they should say “work with.” I work with Guanyin. I work with Loki. I don’t “use” them. They’re not things.

Omg yes! Very similar! I've always felt put off by the idea of "using" Gods, too. After all, I wouldn't want them to just use me!

omg could you imagine what being used by a deity would feel like lol

Lmao I bet it would suck like you'd probably end up like Io in the myths 😭

It's so dehumanizing. Gives me the ick.

khthoniaa.bsky.social•47 days ago

Same! I also don't like how it has the connotation of ownership

magicinthemist.bsky.social•47 days ago

YES, that too. Ugh.
