Asteria Elzea

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

Next time someone asks me what kind of music I like, I'm telling them recession pop. #millennial

If astrology isn't real then why is it real, my constant refrain.

I added Offerings to my website! Also, I'm super proud of the style <3 www.stargirlcreative.com/offerings

I hate when I say I have a podcast. Anyway, listen to Asteria's Convos I'm tryna make the world a better place.

A nice thing to do: if someone reaches out to you and asks for support but you can't meet their need in that way, offer an alt that does feel accessible to you. Ex. they want a hang out and you can't physically do that, but you can do a phone call. At least recognize and validate the connection bid.

Why are we so afraid to tell other people stuff? Like why is it rude of me to be standing right next to a conversation and they're asking questions about something I know the answer to so I tell them? Why's it eavesdropping? You're right next to me, you're wondering things & I know stuff.

Anyway, I had ten dollars in my pocket that's been hanging out with me for two weeks... and I tucked it under his pack of wheat bagels as I walked by this morning. Easy peasy.

This morning I walked by a man sleeping on a discarded mattress. I had seen him last night & we had a friendly interaction. I try to always remember that previously homeless people say that the invisiblization is one of the worst parts. People walking by you and completely ignoring your existence...

I don't normally post about good deeds I do, bcuz I think they should be done as a matter of choosing kindness always. But I'm hearing some people need ideas for how they can help within their own means so I'm going to start telling the stories.
Not for clout.
But in hope of a better world.

No Midwestern sorority girl I saw in 2008 was this HOTTTT.

A bunch of people with nonsense names like mine have started following me so I know I hit the cool kids part of the internet finally.

I know they're overwhelming us on purpose but it's still so overwhelming.

I appreciate this 🙏

Hopepunk is my whole thing.

Does your autistic employee
-Question you
-Say things really directly and bluntly
-Tell you the truth even if it's hard to hear
-Regularly misunderstand things
-Need clear parameters for projects

Those are literally symptoms of autism! Congratulations, you noticed the disability part! 👏

the cover image for the episode of Asteria's Convos that eri was a guest on. The episode title is "Fawning It In w/ eri kapling" and the artwork is six Black-Eyed Susans that Asteria drew for this episode, which are eri's favorite Midwest prairie flower.

Nooooooo they're so beautiful

Plz don't put me in mental health jail, I'll be a good girl.

Uh oh I made the doctor's office ask me if I was [s*icidal.] Told 'em I pushed the wrong button, gave 'em the ol' razzle dazzle smile it's all fine.

That's Asteria.

I'm editing my next podcast episode and the transcription keeps calling me Hysteria, which honestly same.

Today's nonsense distraction is genealogy for some reason. I have an ancestor named Dudley Butler. Could you imagine your parents being like "Dudley BUTLER DON'T TOUCH THE WOOD STOVE" couldn't be me.

Sometimes people in my family say we have clown blood but I think it might just be the autism.

I love the way neurodivergent people communicate with each other. "Hey I liked hanging out" "Hey, I interpreted what you did/said this way, is that how you meant it?" "Lemme tell you literally, clearly, and specifically what I mean, in detail." It's just so clear. #neurodivergent
