There’s no β€œone way” to come into your identity! You don’t have to fit every stereotype of your gender!

Surgeons should be required to label BMI requirements as unverified personal gnosis (UPG)

This whole post hit so deep for me. I appreciate Amaya's coeurage and willingness to put this into the world.

Transphobia in any form is absolute loser behavior.

It's about to be the first of two New Moons in Virgo. Two #Virgo New Moons during a #Tarot Hermit year is significant. Tune out the noise, listen to your body. Virgo is an Earth sign. Mercurial yes, but still an Earth sign. Reality is tangible but not fixed. Whatcha gonna do with a flexible reality?

What I love most about long-form tarot readings is the opportunity to feel into the story that the cards are telling...pulling on various threads but making sure to also weave the tapestry such that the querent received the medicine they need.

"devotion is [...] about knowing the heartbeat of a thing, so that we can still recognize it even as it adapts or adjusts, through different timelines and lifetimes." β€” @megjoneswall.bsky.social

YES

and we really aren't taught to understand this double-vision reality of devotion, culturally

Snake Medicine 2025

If you're ready to learn new ways of moving with discomfort, pain, grief, rage, and all the different challenging emotions we're all carrying in 2025, check out Snake Medicine. We start September 8th, and it's going to be incredible. (7/7)

In Snake Medicine, we work with a variety of skills around challenging feelings and experiences. We work with many different forms of grief and struggle and discomfort. We learn how to feel bad. In learning these skills, we create the conditions to shed our outdated skins, to grow and evolve. (6/7)

Think about the last time you felt like shit. What did you do with the feelings? Did the way you worked with those feelings benefit anyone? Did it benefit you?

There are many ways to work with discomfort, pain, and challenge. You can learn those skills. (5/7)

Instead of being with our hard feelings, many of us instead dissociate first, then mindlessly consume. Most social media apps are very perniciously skilled in facilitating this form of coping, because it benefits capitalism and the parasites who benefit from capitalism. (4/7)

Identifying something as a skill set means that it can be learned, that it can be taught. It's not some mystical innate ability that you either have or you don't have. It's available to you, perhaps with some effort.

So most of us don't have the "feeling bad" skillset. (3/7)

Chronic illness, grief, rage, surgical complications, sexual trauma, and transition have all taught me that being with hard feelings is a skill set as well, and frankly, not one that many of us have been taught. (2/7)

Anywho, many things in my life shifted when I realized that so much of what I assumed I "should just know" how to do were actually skill sets that no one had yet taken the time to teach me.

After I left my abusive relationship, I learned that "being okay" was actually a skill set. (1/7)

Snake Medicine 2025

Now I know it happened in April so I would be ready to talk about it in September.

If you are in a threshold time (and who isn't in 2025!!) and you need support with navigating The Underworld, join me for Snake Medicine. We're going to go deep, and we're going together.

"This is ✨so✨ Snake Medicine. Why is it happening in April?"

My annual class about grief, death, rage, rebirth, change, underworld journeys, and threshold times is coming in just four short weeks. And this year, it's informed by that very specific, very intense near-death time I had last spring.

So earlier this year I danced with death more intimately than I have in awhile. It was unexpected, in that my surgery was "totally routine" and "the easiest abdominal surgery" and etc.

But while I laid in a hospital bed with ice cold blood dripping into my arm, I remember thinking...
