I know that what I have to offer my community is teaching them how to improve their lives by developing a relationship with plants. What I wish is that there was a plant that could help ease the grief and anger of having to live on the same timeline as ICE.
My friend who was arrested for being queer in public in WV had his consultation with a lawyer and now has an idea of court and legal costs and needs to raise a bit more money. He's facing a year in prison for essentially "cop didn't like the look of him."

And yet, for no one is it easy for us to let go and except that the dedication is that we made towards this system have failed us. We were hoodwinked. So now how to move forward and transform your skills to something else that will be useful in new worlds we are building.
For me, it goes back to Pluto in Capricorn, - the parts of our society that tied our worth, and our egos to what we do to make a living needs to die. Because that is part of capitalism, and we need to find our worth and value outside of perceived success in career.
Even if intellectually we understand that this is a systemic issue, that is affecting many people across many fields, it can be hard not to take it as a sign of personal failure. And that can drudge up all kinds of bad feelings.
In my work, as a tarot reader, in the last year, a major theme that has come up is peoples feelings of hopelessness and low self-worth, because they can’t make a living in the field that they are dedicated to anymore.
People do not talk enough about mental health for small business owners. They don’t talk about the impacts that a poor economy has people’s emotional well being.
For bigots and hate mongers, especially wealthy and powerful ones who create & uphold the state causing this for-mentioned violence, I’ve come up empty.
As a highly sensitive person navigating collective grief on a daily basis, my pain and love is for the people dying in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, the families separated by ICE, trans folks losing their rights, houseless folks trying to survive, chronically ill people without health care.

Trying to channel all the deep feels into art- hby?
if you are in love with autistic people just say it. we’re your special interest. you don’t need to make a registry about it
It doesn’t feel right to worry about the economy or my business when I can go home and sleep in my bed all the while our brutal government sends people to a death camp in El Salvador.
bring back Kilmer Abrego Garcia. Bring home Andry Hernández Romero.
as much as I want to be forgiving of someone who crossed boundaries while having a mental health crisis (as I myself have done before, so I empathize) - it changes ones experience of safety with that person- and hearing they've changed is bittersweet-
happy trans day of visibility

This Saturday at Milk Thistle
lately everything feels like Pisces in a bad way….
When we talk about boycotts- why only one day? why not creating a plan for long term avoidance of big box stores as much as possible?

as in, I will trade with you.
just because we live in an oligarchy doesn’t mean we can’t live like communists
but the frustrations of continuing to live in & attempt to function in late capitalism with these conditions makes us depressed, disregulated, angry, disconnected, & leave us with high rates of addiction. so maybe it's us who will be dismantling the current system, just simply by existing.
so I've begun to think that maybe, just maybe, autism & adhd seem to be proliferating because they are a dominant gene that want to reproduce, part of Pluto in Aquarius' scheme that will usher us out of linear, hierarchal ways of being, back to ways of being communal, spirit guided and earth-based.
although these conditions & not having understood them made life difficult, neurodivergence is a superpower- big imagination, storytelling & narrative abilities, hypersensitivity & empathy despite challenges with connection- it's just only when living under capitalism that they cause difficulties
since getting formally diagnosed with autism & adhd last year, I've been revisiting all my past selves to explain to them that it was SENSORY ISSUES all along- and the need to research and deep dive on a topic as a form of grounding and regulation. (cont.)
Doing what I do best đź’™
With anger against Musk and the techno-fascist billionaires growing and calls for protests against Tesla this weekend getting louder, we're releasing a zine version of our text, "Good Night, Tech Right: Pull the Plug on AI Fascism." #TeslaTakeover itsgoingdown.org/good-night-t...
No time for beef with anyone who isn’t a billionaire in 2025. that’s my motto
I want to tell you
that in these times, your art matters.
the stories you share are the rays of sunlight casting light on earth.
and I can tell you that without hesitation.
but also, I want to hold up the mirror
and tell it’s reflection the same thing
with that same dedication.
