Heavily weighted Scorpios in scorpio season know that while the veil is thin to non-existent, while you still cant wish some kinds of things to happen or not, the cycle of life and death, of power shifts and water events, ever continues, so we wait and watch carefully. Nothing is stable but change.

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Dear #Spirits Industry, as a woman + long time bartender, I'm deeply offended that on Father's Day, you promote my beloved gin, whisky, and more for dads, yet on Mother's day, either nothing, or a goddam frosé or white wine situation.
