I think we need to be able to balance the reactions "this is another expression of 250 years of American imperialism" and "what do you MEAN we kidnapped the president of Venezuela and renditioned him to the US and are now claiming to run the country"
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Whenever I see the boys from Heated Rivalry in an interview or something, they remind me of Bill & Ted, which is probably why I feel too old to be watching 25-year-olds fuck. Also, I'm skeptical that there's enough rivalry in it for me. Not hearing a whole lot about the rivalry aspect at all, tbh.

A huge red coyote crossed my path for the third time already this week, and yesterday I saw a red-tailed hawk too. Feels very portentous for the Year of the Fire Horse & the year Saturn and Neptune move into Aries 🔥 Wishing y'all a brave & wild 2026!

Capricorn is the horniest sign, and I feel more like my rising sign than ever. It's a combination of aging, and being on testosterone, lol. 🐐😈🖤

"Divine timing" I tell myself, as I finish in three hours something I've been trying & failing to work on for a year.

This is what it actually means to be "cancelled" (i.e. fired from your job) for standing by your beliefs
(In this case: the belief in basic human equality and dignity)
I don't know about you, but I'll be picking up a copy of Robin Ince's book this Xmas

I wish I'd learned with a more numerological, grounded in reality approach bc I went through a lot of GD esoteric bullshit before Marseille study took me back to basics. 78 Acts is such a good way to learn tarot.
It wasn't my intention to make my #Tarot book (78 Acts of Liberation) beginner-friendly since I'm doing something different with it in terms of social consciousness, but I've gotten a LOT of feedback saying that the way I broke down card meanings by number grouping makes it perfect for beginners! 🎉
share.google/W03S0mo9hb05... is a great one (and by a friend of mine!), and @leftlanesmith.bsky.social recently (ish!) released an excellent one too :)

My mom asked me for a Tarot reading about end of life stuff (not imminent) when she visited yesterday, which you might think would feel stressful but she's been asking me to make adult decisions for her since I was 7, and doing it this way actually made it kind of fun (and not actually MY decision).

My household is all mutable signs (Sag, Pisces, Gemini) and this is wildly unprecedented, but we ALL got a really good night's sleep under the Gemini Full Moon last night??!? And woke up early, joyfully, to a first snowfall and were on time for school for once?! And now I'm having hot chocolate. ❄️☕

December 1st is #WorldAIDSDay, so I gathered a handful of nonfiction and art books off my shelves to recommend. Of course there are many, many more this—but for anyone who’s just beginning to learn all the community histories that aren’t taught, I hope this lil’ stack might offer somewhere to start.

If you think I'm lucky that my family & friends respect that my kids & I don't celebrate Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving or any "justice" spin on a day of mourning for colonized/genocided people: it's not luck, it's honesty, communication & the boundaries necessary to still be in relationship with me.

The comments are letting me know that I need to clarify: not liking turkey isn't the *reason* I don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Serving my favorite food in the world wouldn't make me celebrate Thanksgiving. Not liking turkey is a separate thing.
Mom: So I know you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, and you don't like turkey either, is that right?
Me: Yeah.
Mom: I'm trying to decide if I want to buy myself a turkey; I kind of like to cook one & then eat nothing but turkey leftovers for a few months.
Me: I know, that's WHY I don't like it.
Me: Yeah.

I didn't play with Barbies as a kid & neither did my brother & neither did my daughter, so I had no precedent to go by, but my youngest child just entered the "cutting Barbie's hair" phase and I was totally unprepared... for it to look this good??? ✂️
