They say to set the intentions for a new year. I intend to eat the delicious food, burn the good candles, wear lipstick in the garden, never pass up a joy ride, and sleep-in to my heart's content. There will be sand in my toes, tangles in my hair and crumbs in my sheets. #witchsky #pagansky #joy

I just finished watching "Evenfall", a dystopian post-apocalyptic 7 part series on yt. Highly recommend. It hit all the right notes. Low budget nearly perfect. Check it out.

I've been a bit quieter than usual these past months because @astra.bsky.social and I have been going deep into what we are calling End Times Fascism. The research has been bleak, I won't lie, but it's also been inspiring.

If you are planning on travelling anywhere right now, make sure you have water, food, blankets, dry clothes, a way to charge your phone, flashlight, and any other appropriate emergency supplies for your area. It's getting wild out there. #GetPrepared #Wintertravel

The National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation scene was not THAT much of an exaggeration... my childhood and all. The getting across the road part.
He is still posting about Canada and our death defying tobogganing 🤣 yeah now he’s talking about how we used garbage bags to slide down the hills, we also used cardboard, metal saucers, krazey carpets, GT racers and we also piled on top of each other on a sled 🛷😆

After decades, I am finally getting new flooring in this house. Cleaning out the back of closets & cupboards that I haven't seen in years. The result is a Feng Shui type of cleansing- The Dragon Dances. Tucking little solstice touches here & there to lift the spirit. #ColdMoonBlessings #Druidsky

one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
