A full moon, with a warm red tint

Oh hello there

drew this parody gadsden flag six years ago, and it seems it’s still relevant as the bootlicking has only increased.

(if you’ve shared a version, I’d appreciate if you shared this one — I’m making more stickers, flags and t-shirts to give 100% of profits to MN mutual aid! www.tommysiegel.net)

It's the system!!! (And... unfortunately, a lot of people don't even get to the point where they bother to ask themselves the question 😞)

the moment the second person comes into the frame to stand with his neighbor is so incredibly beautiful

Homebound due to significant icing & likely w/out power soon here in NC. I accept it as a gift of stillness & quiet. I’m charging camera batteries & my guy got 50lbs of peanuts for the jays & crows 🪶

This year has been too much already. I look forward to the disconnect. Stay safe everyone.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Certain forms of mainstream news are sedative. Here's one. Yesterday in Minneapolis was a big day for this country's history and the current crisis and a heroic demonstration of will, solidarity, and bravery. NYT leads with shopping.

I have watched the video of today’s murder several times and I am here to assure you that there were several agents restraining the victim when he was shot, and there is no way they were worried he was going to shoot one. Even if he had a gun, and I think that’s not true, he was not free to use it.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

it's tifa tuesday! 👊

The absolute gall of them to suddenly come out with this after all the years of minimizing.

The data is being released to the ICE List, an online database created to promote accountability by these masked federal agents. The first batch of names is set to be released tonight.

They're also getting names and information from citizens, including hotel and bar staff, and agents' neighbors.

Imagine having your parents brutally murdered and then having to do this because the fucking President of the United States is so disgusting.

Air: Rage
Honor your anger. Admit you're upset. Allow yourself to feel it in your body because if you don’t, it will likely spill out.

Earth: Explore
Don’t let naysayers keep your worldview small. If you wanna try in the year ahead, give yourself the time to look into it. (Verify sources!)

Pulls to Push Us Through The Rest of This Week (read for your rising sign):

Fire: Aim True
Be wary of distractions. Whittle down your to-do list to what’s manageable so you don’t get burnt out.

Water: Nocturnes
Don’t be afraid of your magic. Make sure you have enough alone time and get grounded.

Deck is my own: the “Refract & Reflect Oracle”!

Available here (and on sale for one more day!):

www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/marketp...

two square collage style cards side by side. card on the left features the word “stories” and shows two couples: 1) inset within a Polaroid are two men in formalwear as if on their wedding day or attending a wedding and 2) a man and a woman seemingly as tourists as the man is holding a vintage video camera as if to photograph her. The constellation of Pisces in gold ink rests between them and frames the profile of her face. The word “Venus” can be seen on the border. the card on the right, prominent features the words "aim true" and showcases a female archer aiming at a frame with an image of two apples and the planet Jupiter inside it. Around archer are images of an owl, an Afghan Hound, a film camera, a bowl of ice cream with three scoops, and a gymnast making flips over a lake.

It's a Full Moon today, and we’re being reminded of choice & agency.

Mercury trining both Saturn & Jupiter (who is shown in "aim true"), lots of information lay before us.

What will you choose to help you move forward? Can you cut through the noise of all the bright distractions surrounding you?

Omggg the tension is so even!! Amazing work!
