My biggest fear is that I’ll die seeing a worse world than the one I was born into

Hiero was one of the best things that came from our time being quarantined. I met some of the most amazing people and made friendships I’ll cherish forever 💜
Reminiscing on my Hiero days. 🥹 A few years back, I helped lead/co-fascilitate/attend nightly occult video lectures & discussion groups on an occult social media site hosted on Mighty Networks. It was such a fun time, and I miss it. 🩷

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

East coast friends, the weather is gorgeous. Go outside and soak up the sun for a few minutes. Take some deep breaths. Then, pull up 5calls.org and follow the prompts to tell your senator to vote no on the continuing resolution. I just did it, and I'm as phone-averse as any other Gen Xer. Join me.

I was sick over the past five days which means it was time to make a big batch of broth.
I save all of my unused vegetable scraps and chicken bones in the freezer until it’s time. Then I put it all in a big pot of water with spices for magic and taste, and let it simmer for hours.
Works wonders

Card of the Day:
The Hanged Man
Symbolizing sacrifice, letting go, taking a pause, new perspectives
The Hanged Man can tell us that sometimes we need to take time to reexamine our situation and let go of things that no longer serve us

Just in case people don't know the context, this is a policy called splitting the letters, developed by fundamentalist Christians to use feminist and queer language and culture to split the T off and then turn the others against each other.
You can watch their 2017 conference planning it.

UPDATE: The National Park Service have now removed “queer” and the “Q+” from the web page for stonewall, along with any mentions of transgender people.

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

Gotta love Queer Magic and Queer Solidarity 🏳️🌈
In light of the US National Park Service censoring all references to trans & queer folk from their Stonewall page, today’s a great day for MARSHA’S MYTHIC BRICK, a spell of queer rage from my Little Book of Wicked Spells:

With words that are spoken
In circle unbroken
We raise our power and might
As witches we all
Must answer the call
And join the coming fight
We offer our magic
In times that are tragic
By power of day and night
By moon and by sun
We’ll see the work done
As we gather by fire’s light

To realign my thoughts into rhymes.
So my hands can do what my mouth cannot,
And write down the words I wish I could shout.
