These are not allies against fascist they are accomplices and if you haven't figured that out yet you still don't get it.
Thank you! I am always curious about this and off to watch a video!!

Happy new (Roman) Year!The Kalends of March was the beginning of the year in antique Rome and most importantly (for me) the day the Fire of Vesta was renewed from sunbeams directed by an Archimede's Heat Ray.Here's my video on Vesta / Hestia if you're curious youtu.be/I11xmwud2Dc #witchsky #pagansky
Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"
my personal astrology for today:
pluto sq my mc
chiron conj my moon
uranus conj my north node
saturn conj saturn
jupiter in gemini (w my mars & venus)
i've never been paying attention to astrology when this much was going on. Will it seem like any other day or something crazy about to happen.
A lesson I have learned from surgery, shingles, chemo, etc:
Never underestimate what the human body -- and the human race -- can recover from once you remove what's harming it and treat it with patience, love, and care.
Don't ever let the current state of damage be the future you envision.
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but if even if you're not an artist, that goofy meme idea in your head will be a thousand times funnier if you just do a crappy drawing of it yourself vs using generative A.I.
thank you i will! wiltshire is such a good place for that kind of weirdness - i'm in the us (I apologize) and i truly love that area ♥️♥️ looking forward to checking it out !!
the script is so flipped. we have to get crazy or perish, honestly

Garfunkel looks good.
You still think this is a game. Keep playing. I'm gonna make real changes
I understand why everyone is so freaked out, but we can't be effective if we're just randomly yelling at everyone assuming the enemy is *everyone except them*
you still misunderstand me. Take your own advice and deal with the fact that I said something you didn't like.
i'm looking forward to when we can get past this and settle down to the real work of making the changes we want to see. 3/3🪡
I mistakenly thought the extinction burst reaction was only coming from the conservatives who didn't want to change; turns out it's every side. It's everyone who is still engaged in this game as if it can be won. 2/3🪡
After being on this app for a few weeks I've come to see that it's not that this app is insane, it's that our country is full of people in a crash out spiral, refusing to face the hard facts and instead yelling at everything as they crash and burn. 🧵1/3
It's the fact that you all assume my political beliefs based on what i just said. that's just wild and why this world is about to burn. You'd rather yell at strangers than try to actually fix the problem. Keep yelling. Well yourself out. I don't care
I suggest you do some tarot or some kind of deep soul-searching to figure out why you're so angry and lashing out at strangers on the Internet. that kind of anger is gonna destroy you way before it destroys the people you're angry at.
The thing is everyone is so quick for assumptions. Why would you assume I'm not death to fascist? because I am eat the rich and I mean it literally but you hold so tightly to your belief that you jump to inaccurate conclusions. It doesn't bother me I know who I am but it makes you miss out on a lot
love it. that's the kind of story i'm here for!!
"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.' -J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit, pub. 1937

who do you think you're addressing when you say "you"? The original poster? Every single person on this app? I understand the anger but do you really think everyone in America except you voted for this? I'm truly confused by this point of view
Our insurance company just wrote to us that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live is rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that it is "Not Medically Necessary."
Her meds costs ~$200K/year. Insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year.
