Hello #occultsky and #witchsky!
Based on the recommendations yesterday, I created a spreadsheet of politically-minded books around the craft.
Includes @leftlanesmith.bsky.social @thewordwitch.bsky.social @mxcassandrasnow.bsky.social @passionandsoul.bsky.social @feminnis.bsky.social and more!
One lesson I had to learn the hard way while my mom was dying of cancer is that 95% of the time, being brave feels like absolute shit.
I feel like complete and utter shit right now. But bravery isn't an emotion, its an action.
Bravery isn't meant to feel good. Courage only exists in adversity.
I’ve begun a list and am vetting as I go. In case it is useful… DEI committed companies:
-Nordstrom: www.nordstrom.com/browse/diver...
-Harris Teeter: www.harristeeter.com/i/diversity-...
-Giant: giantfood.com/pages/divers...
-TJ Maxx: www.tjx.com/corporate-re...
-ULTA: www.ulta.com/company/dei
This read does a great job at separating the signal from the noise. While the EOs Donald has issued are frightening, some of them are outside of the law and are likely to be rejected by the courts. Understanding his actions will help us organize to fight back.
Who knew Costco shareholders would be the real hero in this day and age?
Reading is political.
Reading has always been political.
Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

These resources are so valuable at this moment for trans folks and allies to be aware of. Remember, queer trans joy is unstoppable
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

What an incredible list! I will be filling my cupboards with many cookies from trans girl scouts.
Thank you for posting this! I didn’t know this was a thing

Do you recommend the Secrets of Mexican Witchcraft book?
This op-ed explains how to start an ICE Watch neighborhood program in your community. ⤵️
This call for progressive philanthropy to stand firm is so important at this moment. It is imperative that funders do not ‘obey in advance’. Philanthropy has the resources and responsibility to fight for our communities and we cannot backslide into thinking this work is too ‘risky’ to fund.
“our sector often falls into the third group: the leaders and organizations who say they are for equity and justice, but whose words and actions continue to advance injustice. These are the white moderates that MLK warned us about, and our sector is full of them.”
