the amount of aries / pisces retrogrades coming up this year is brutal

I know we want to believe these systems somehow protect us. They don’t. Wanna know why? Because I’m Native and they never protected me and my people, ever. It’s been a battle since day one of this stupid country and Constitution being formed.

This country was not made for you. It was made for them.

**park date lol - why can’t we edit posts yet??

really dropped off posting here after a couple sold weeks.

i’m burnt out y’all but had a nice sunny ork date with this @welldeepremedies.bsky.social trinity salve today 🌹

i recently spent over a month digging into the life & crimes of the klansman who sent a bomb to the director of scottsdale's diversity office in 2004.
what he couldn't do with a pipe bomb 20 years ago, republicans have accomplished by dressing up a klan newsletter as legislation.

i feel like an ouroboros only i’m choking down survival under capitalism instead of my own tail lol

GROUND DOWN 🌳

Deep roots, clear channel, flexible, protected and connected with agency.

cedar ground down into unseen collective anchors + mugwort strengthens vision, inviting dreaming and possibility.

just made a small batch for the first time in 6 years!

the 2025 People’s Medicine School enrollment is now open!!

if you want to learn about herbalism in a community that celebrates black history month, believes in dei, centers our queer, trans, disabled and BIPOC kin, focuses on mutual aid, sees herbalism as a means of liberation and never serves ice…

calling all tech wizards : anyone here know how to code a custom feed for the rad herb network here in bluesky?

I said Happy Black History Month!!!

i love drug users and i love #harmreduction 🤟🏼🌱

these salves are a blend of yarrow, creosote, calendula & plantain infused oils with a bit of lavender essential oil and a whole much of beeswax and love.

these have been making a huge difference in the lives of so many people and i am honored to participate in this small act of #mutualaid

it’s harm reduction salve day!

once a month, for the past (3?) years, i make 200 wound care salves for cochise harm reduction outreach.

these salves go out to hundreds of people in the heavily militarized southern az border lands and is one of my favorite activities every single month.

Same exact thing.

The CDC is busy purging data en-masse from their website, including crucial trans health research and youth harm demographics.

Don’t let our fiction and theory be next.

This is a coup. A South African national with German Nazi heritage and Russian ties is actively staging a coup in the US right now.

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights.

they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

sent to me by a beloved today : wolfberry flowers!

my favorite weirdo flower essence / invoking the shift from the individual to the trans-personal (pun intended ⚧️)

our collective power is made from small but mighty blooms.

The entire website for the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) is very nearly stripped bare. This is so, so devastating. orwh.od.nih.gov/research/fun...

An employee working for an agency funded by federal grants working in HIV care just told me that their manager said the CDC website is expected to come down "in its entirey" and "to save what they might need." Targethiv.org, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration, is already down.

They’ve removed some articles on preventing chronic disease, too. This is one of them:
