What are we even doing as a species.

The only reason I want Anthropic to survive is so they can pay out their class action suit to the authors and creators they stole from.

When I was doing prison ministry work (as a Witch) when I complained the inmate told me it wasn’t really a bad word, it wasn’t a swear. Then it turned to, β€œI didn’t mean you. Chill out.” Thankfully the chaplain had my back. Inmate was apologizing by the end of my visit.

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.~Terence McKenna

May I begin this day in steady presence,
feet rooted, heart quiet, mind clear.
Let my breath be a slow anchor in any weather,
and my choices be simple, kind, and true.

May what wobbles within me find its balance,
and what calls for action meet a calm, unwavering hand.
So it is.

support your trans friends. stand up for them (even and especially when they're not in the room). let them know they have a safe place to turn to.

the world is a difficult place for trans people right now. we need all the love and support we can find.

Just a reminder, Mercury is now retrograde! Check the facts twice, stay open to alternative viewpoints, and stay grounded in reality. The more you reflect, the easier his energies are to manage. #astrology

Hey everyone! Be four armed!*

There's someone making inauthentic profiles doing targeted harassment and ban evasion making misleading lists of a lot of folks. You may want to check, report, and/or block.

When I wrote about conspiracy theory in Ascension Magick it also helped to look at how you handle them as initiatory. I totally get the desire to explain what seems bizarre and untrue in the world, or fill in missing gaps of understanding, but we find comfort in the drama and the demonizing and

The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless.” - Alan Moore

This quote was helpful in helping me understand the attraction to it:

β€œThe main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic…

People will fight me on this but it’s not very romantic. Traditionally at least, which is why it’s so sexual. It’s yearning. It’s about being queer in a more masculine sports world. Actually gave me sympathy for the closeted jocks of my youth. It’s about parents and growing up and choosing yourself.

Episodes 1&2 don’t grab you.
3 is a bizarre turn and then you wish that will continue but it doesn’t.
Then episodes 4, 5, and 6 are brilliant and moved me more than any tv show in ages. Acting A+! On the rewatch you see how so much of 1&2 set up the rest and the use of music, light, framing is πŸ”₯!

I’ve never heard that one! Love it! In herbal school we learned the droplet at the stem of each leaf was used to wash the face to preserve beauty/prevent wrinkles. The teacher then joked that they never did it and regretted it now they were older. So I try to get my Beltane dew from Lady’s Mantle.
