This weekend the Elon Musk/DODGE invasion of the US Treasury requires real, on-the-ground action. Trump and Musk systematically and forcibly removed those who would resist until they found those willing to give them access to the payment system of the US government.

As the old year ends, celebrate women of the year who showed up in all their power and glory, in politics and in the arts! It was an amazing year for women and the feminine heroic. There is so much more to accomplish as we empower one another through our stories and our lives.

Everyone GO BUY OATHBREAKERS, but we had a wonderful detour through medieval names in the thread below, BUT I JUST NOW REMEMBERED I WROTE A WHOLE BOOK ABOUT A GUY NAMED EADWEARD.
Cheer yourself up with some medieval troubles and medieval names bonus: Wiggo, Angelbert, Charles the Bald not to be confused with Charles the Younger, Himiltrude (mother of Pepin the Hunchback), Otgar of Mainz. Congratulations @lollardfish.bsky.social & @profgabriele.com

Read how the American Fairy Tale of the "Wizard of Oz" is a parallel to current issues and how the heroine's journey is the way to success, then and now. It's all in the layers of meaning that tells how the feminine heroic is the way forward. WICKED!

Is DJT a Coyote Trickster? As a lifelong storyteller, I notice a story archetype when I see it. In native folktales around the Americas, the Coyote is a trickster, while in other tales he is revered and powerful. They need to shake, rattle and roll the center. And like coyote, DJT keeps coming back.
