Am I imagining things or is there a rise in only fan follows in this space?

I mean, you do you, but if you’re following me in hopes of me following you on only fans, you’re wasting your time.

On CBC last night, I spelt out the moral case to keep on trying, however hard it might be. Defending the living planet is not an option we can abandon. Ultimately, it is all that counts.

I just realized that BlueSky has, in many ways, set themselves up like RedNote. Well played @bsky.app, well played 😂

I want to hear the marginalized voices. I want to center them and work to uplift them. That work can’t be done in an aggressively unsafe space.

When friends ask me if I’m worried about being in an echo chamber and losing touch with what is being said in these spaces - the answer is no. There’s a difference between being aware and being safe; between being aware and feeding the hate machine. The loudest voices will continue to be heard.

And this, in a nutshell, is why I am moving away from Meta spaces. The willingness to change corporate values so drastically for profit is mind boggling.

When the cross stitch project is so big that you’re willing to invest the time to grid the entire thing 😉

This might just be a series: Meditations with Maine Coon.

We have a ritual - mornings are for meditations and the cat is here to support my mental wellbeing efforts.

Meditating to purrs 😻

Finished another fantasy-fiction read this year. It might be the most original book I’ve read!

Getting ready for my morning meditation and my cat wellness overlord decides that snuggles must be had.

Who am I to argue?

Just finished reading The Bell Witches by Lindsey Kelk. It was a fun YA read to start the year. Reviewed it on Fable (it forces me to rate it 😢)

I’m slowly prepping myself to move away from Goodreads to Fable; Meta to BlueSky in 2025.

Learning new social media languages and communities is daunting but I want my online spaces to honour my values 💕

Absolutely. And what I list as 3 might be a solid book for me but seem low to another. I appreciated the move completely away from subjective ratings that don’t convey the full picture.

A good friend told me that she no longer “rates” her books in book reviews and I think I’m going to steal her idea. For 2025 I’m only to going to share impressions, reactions and takeaways of the books I read. No more feeding a hierarchical meritocracy. #BookSky #OccultivatedBooks #WitchBooks

Even better - when their sources are a font of totally amazing information because they’re solid!

I actually really appreciate how BlueSky makes adding alt text so visible as an option 💕

And a good rock. And feather. And a photo of a really cool mushroom, plant, bird, tree

The Haindl tarot. It’s not super well known but I poured over so many decks in my local shop before selecting this one. I used it for ages. Still love it.

Feeling spicy 🌶️

When something is repeated often enough, does it become a fact?

Asking for a friend 😉

But seriously, tell me about the pseudo facts that you see in the pagan-o-sphere that seem to be universally accepted nowadays.

I’ll go first: the Oak & Holly Kings

Is getting paid to curse the MAGA team really a thing?

How do we feel about that? 🤔

If you don’t mind me asking - how are you using the paprika? My partner is Slavic and this is a huge staple in his culture so I’m curious about how it would be used magically. Or perhaps it’s an offering to the ancestors? 🤔

Do students even proofread their chatGPT essays? Like - do they at least learn what “they” wrote about? Cause experience is implying that they don’t!
