Hello #occultsky and #witchsky!

Based on the recommendations yesterday, I created a spreadsheet of politically-minded books around the craft.

One lesson I had to learn the hard way while my mom was dying of cancer is that 95% of the time, being brave feels like absolute shit.

I feel like complete and utter shit right now. But bravery isn't an emotion, its an action.

Bravery isn't meant to feel good. Courage only exists in adversity.

This read does a great job at separating the signal from the noise. While the EOs Donald has issued are frightening, some of them are outside of the law and are likely to be rejected by the courts. Understanding his actions will help us organize to fight back.
Feeling overwhelmed by Trump’s first week? A little piece of advice: skip the doomscrolling and go straight to the facts. This read is a great place to start.

Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

These resources are so valuable at this moment for trans folks and allies to be aware of. Remember, queer trans joy is unstoppable

What an incredible list! I will be filling my cupboards with many cookies from trans girl scouts.
Hey everyone! Incredible news!

Trans Scouts selling GS cookies this year on my list have sold over 50,000 boxes of GS cookies!

If you want girl scout cookies, consider buying from a trans girl scout this year! They'll mail them to you!

This is literally my fav thing to do every year :)
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

“our sector often falls into the third group: the leaders and organizations who say they are for equity and justice, but whose words and actions continue to advance injustice. These are the white moderates that MLK warned us about, and our sector is full of them.”
