A beeswax candle in a ceramic holder sits on brown leaves beside a clump of crocuses just pushing their way right through the leaf structure. The candle is lit.

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

A PROTESTant.

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

digital collage of a candle and flame with texture. Poem text of reads: Holy Brigid: In these times of conflagration That engulf the skies at night… Light the fire that guides our way. Kindle within us the flame of inspiration. We speak your name. Holy Brigid: In these times of grief and anger And these days of stolen lives… Pour out the quenching waters from your well. Come, bathe our tear stained faces. We call to you with voices raised. Holy Brigid: In these times of love and rage And these days when hatred stalks our streets… Strike bright metal on your anvil. Forge us tools that we can use to fight for justice. With all our might and breath. Holy Brigid: In these times of fear and division And these days that tear our hearts and souls apart… Wrap your mantle around our shoulders. Remind us we are loved, and we can love. We ask for your assistance. Holy Brigid: Forge us. Shape us. Kindle us. Comfort us. So we rise up, all together, firm and strong. Holy Brigid: Be here now. T. Thorn Coyle 2015/2025

Holy Brigid:
In these times of love and rage
And these days when hatred stalks our streets…
Strike bright metal on your anvil.
Forge us tools that we can use to fight for justice.…

Pedro Pascal has paid tribute to Catherine O’Hara after her tragic passing

“Oh, genius to be near you. Eternally grateful. There is less light in my world, this lucky world that had you, will keep you, always. Always ❤️

The one and ONLY Catherine O’Hara”

Macaulay Culkin pays tribute to Catherine O'Hara:

“Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later.”

An alter with a dish of a ring of salt surrounding an image of smiling Pan, black string spells Fuck ICE. There are nails pointed at ICE. 2 candles in red holders, 2 tea candles and one beeswax taper that was lit from the flame of Kildare. Behind that is a black scrying mirror in a metal scroll frame. Beads hang from the frame.

I remember when people used ham radio to get word out to the world what was happening during the Yugoslav wars.

Networks of citizens using back channels to get information out is one of the most tried and true - and honorable - ways of communicating information that people need to know.

A sprawling landscape of green and brown grass meadow, mountains and a sky of pink and fading blue low and in the distance.

Pinkish lavender skies fade as night crawls in along with arctic chill. Leaves crunch underfoot in this snowless winter, where bare branches stand forlornly waiting for warmer days. Fires comfort now especially as spring teases but is months away. #witchsky #druidsky #occultsky

to my #witches on #witchsky and #occultsky 🐈‍⬛

your ancestors are watching, and listening, even when you choose to remain silent and neutral, they are watching, and listening.

may you remember that during every ritual time.

Too many dead.
Too many stolen.
Too many ripped apart.

Fuck this shit.

You cannot detain or arrest a baby, you can only kidnap her. These people need to wear a scarlet letter, need to ring a bell to loudly declare their moral bankruptcy. Everyone must be allowed to avoid them until they have made amends.

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal WASHINGTON —  January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a joint statement on the termination of U.S. membership in the WHO.President Trump on January 20, 2025, announced the U.S. plan to leave the WHO. During the yearlong process, the U.S. stopped funding WHO, withdrew all personnel from WHO, and began pivoting activities previously conducted with WHO to direct bilateral engagements with other countries and organizations. With the exit from WHO, the U.S. will be coordinating with WHO solely in a limited fashion to effectuate withdrawal.  The WHO delayed declaring a global public health emergency and a pandemic during the early stages of COVID-19, costing the world critical weeks as the virus spread. During that period, WHO leadership echoed and praised China's response despite evidence of early underreporting, suppression of information and delays in confirming human-to-human transmission. The organization also downplayed asymptomatic transmission risks and failed to promptly acknowledge airborne spread.After the pandemic, the WHO did not adopt meaningful reforms to address political influence, governance weaknesses or poor coordination, reinforcing concerns that politics took priority over rapid, independent public health action and eroding global trust. Its report evaluating the possible origins of COVID-19 rejected the possibility that scientists cre…

And just like that, the US has left the World Health Organization.

Oh no, we were uninvited to the Despots Bribing Despots Bribe Committee for Despots.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.

Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

The first thing that occurred to me was this:

Yes, we've always had January thaw here. But it is usually sandwiched between very cold weather. Not this year tho. Here in my area in BC, it has only dropped below freezing a few times which is very unusual for here. We need more snow.
