I’m back visiting Europe. I grew up across a few countries here. The moment I landed, I felt my anxiety dissipating.
I then realized how batshit it was that while packing, I was also hiding apps on my phone. I sat with how much of my social media to delete.
This isn’t normal.
This. Is. Not. Normal

For teacher appreciation week, I made from scratch sourdough cinnamon rolls. Instead of cream cheese I used labne for the icing and lemme tell you, that was a game changer!
Now maybe one day I’ll make them for myself 🙃😆

When the Beltane altar is super flowery because all your roses exploded at once!

This made me cry. This man understands what it is to speak with power and conviction, to reject the short memories and desire to re-narrate the past to favor one’s own image.

Shame on the US

For Ostara my son and I dyed eggs. I attempted to teach him how to imbue blessings in them.
“Make a wish!” I said.
He pauses and goes:
“Presents!”
I laugh and hand him another. Without hesitation he says:
“More presents!”

Ah. Well. Sure why not 😆

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

Read. What the Venezuelans deported to El Salvador experienced.

"One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, 'I'm not a gang member. I'm gay. I'm a barber.'
…
"The man asked for his mother, then buried his face in his chained hands and cried as he was slapped again."

Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Ozymandias

History repeats itself

Kia knows where it’s at!
They also supplied the vehicles for the latest season of Queer Eye.
Kia saw the opening and took it 👏

Are the tariffs about economic prowess?

We already get so many goods far cheaper in this country than anywhere overseas. Maybe in an economic blast and reshuffle goods *might* be made more affordable.

But what this really reeks of is imperialism. 🧵 2/

Ostara altar is up! 🐣

I lived for many years in Vienna, so my spring equinox altar always features the Austrian Easter tree (Ostereierbaum) tradition of hanging painted, hollowed eggs on pussy willow branches.

Before each seasonal celebration, my son and I paint together. Thanks to the pooka pages archive, we had some beautiful imagery to watercolor.

Y’all all beat me to it 😆

To the person who said they like me best when I am not ranting about politics: I like me best when I am not ignoring fascism

“Sexism, like racism, is also a structural requirement of capitalism, as capitalism must smuggle the super exploitation of women as a consequence of their ‘natural inferiority’.”

Tech created these kinds of monsters in startup culture. It is capitalism run rampant and it is constantly celebrated out here.

If anyone thinks they voted to ‘go back’ to 50’s family values, seeing their family more or having religious days off being prioritized, you are in for a rude awakening.

So…you all know the latest dumbf*ckery by Elon is standard in tech, right?

I’ve supported community for years in the Bay, and this kind of cutthroat behavior is par for the course of Silicon Valley tech culture. Working weekends, working overnight, working through holidays and family events. 🧵

“Racism is a tool of division by the rich. Concentrated wealth can only rule a democracy by promoting social division. Racism is their weaponry.”
