DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon Musk to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsid... TikTok video by Robert Reich

An non-elected person for a "department" of the government that doesn't legally exist targets "waste and fraud" by ignoring the actual theft of tax payer funds by billionaires and corporation...

Last night's in depth course on Infosec was filmed for both YouTube and the Seminary LMS. We will have it up for viewing this week.

Patrons & students of Sanctum received detailed notes on different kinds of "Bug Out" Bags for various scenarios, w/ tested equipment recommendations, today. We are also recording the class on the topic for YouTube. #activism #preparedness #actionmedicine #crisismedicine #witchcraftispolitical

Sanctum has gained four volunteers in a week to help us take our private courses and move them back onto more accessible platforms. Now I have to find the time and energy to film multiple classes a week in a style that works on YouTube, TikTok, etc.

Tonight's Mastery of the Tarot class will cover how to set up a Tarot reading space and studio.

Tonight's class on Crisis Preparedness concludes our diversion from the Syllabus into Go Bags, covering bag contents for a family without access to infrastructure for three days to two weeks. Next week's class covers InfoSec. #Crisispreparedness #actionmedicine #streetmedicine #activism

Sanctum is moving some of its courses to YouTube so that they will be more accessible. These will include the course on Herbal Abortifacients and Contraceptives, being renamed AFAB Autonomy.

I turned 39 today. I believed for many years that I would not live this long. I have two items left on my current bucket list that I'm going to try to accomplish by the end of the year.

I filmed an awkward quick introduction video, because some people I follow suggested it.

When I was married to my abusive ex, he wouldn't let me carry a pocket knife. Today for my 39th birthday, my partner gave me the knife I'm training with for my black belt.

I am trying to decide if I should increase the Crisis Preparedness course I'm teaching to two times per week. The work load would be immense, but every day there comes news of more happenings I'd be preparing my students for.

That is a fantastic hoodie.
