Watching the @ricksteves.bsky.social episode about fascism and Nazi Germany. It's frightening watching it now because so many of the things talked about in this episode are happening RIGHT NOW. I HIGHLY recommend you watch and get everyone you know to watch.

It's also created a healthy pace; I don't have to write something now and put it out there. It can simmer, and I can savor it, until I'm ready to let it out.
I spend more time actually writing, working, and living.
The "save the writing for the work, don't give it to be used by the algorithm, and make money for billionaires," turned out to be a deep intuition.
That's it. That's the post.
The decision several years ago to move writing off socials and into paper journals, or behind a privacy screen on Patreon, even tho you can join for free, has long legs and has walked me further than I thought it would.

The only thing that matters is that it’s a Democratic candidate. The end.
Well that astrological event felt like ripping a scab off.
I mean, honestly it’s the little things. I’m trying to think what inspired me and originally it probably was the 13 days of Yule. 🤷 it does help. I like your idea about the moon. I’m going to add that.
Yes!! 🙌
Grateful for folks like @thetarotlady.bsky.social and @chrisbrennan.bsky.social for the fantastic updates in their independent formats on social media and such. It's been a lot of notes and dates, but worth it.
#grateful
I have committed to note-taking this year, for astrological updates and adding them to my calendar. Pulling cards for those dates for myself, and planning workings as needed around that.
Emotions drive actions when Mars enters Pisces on the 2nd. The warrior planet isn’t too happy here – it’s like a wet blanket. While it’s possible to feel motivated by your feelings, you can run out of steam, too. Passion moves between hot and meh. #astrology
Today I am grateful for the sharing, but more importantly for the trust.
Those who were initiated into those things seem to have shared a lot across the lines of culture, tribe, social, political, and religious lines.
I respect that line and the respectful transgression of the initiate.
The view backwards into ancestry looks like...
There were things absolutely not for the uninitiated; there were cultural, tribal, social, and political-religious aspects that were respected as separate from the everyday.
And
I'm really getting the hang of these weeklies...

I hear you, and I see the part you’re talking about. Received with love and hugs. Thank you, friend.
I highly recommend Kokuho. I would describe very few things as epic. I am extremely curious about the choice of maiden performances, and the sequence in which they appear in the film in relationship to the story. I guess I must read the book.

Was thinking of this.
Gentle reminder: Mercury will be retrograde on Thursday, February 26th at 1:48 AM ET. Back up your computer, plan for delays, double-check travel arrangements, and think before you speak, post, or hit send. When all else fails, be extra kind and patient. #astrology
The key wasn't to react to the people or situations I thought caused the feelings. The key was to claim the feelings as my own, let them flow, and hold myself with love and respect. If you are feeling drained or emotionally ripped off, it is time to check your boundaries and restore your limits.

This week (Feb 22-28), the energy of Puffball is bringing things to the surface. I spent a few days recently feeling raw after working with fluorite to unblock some emotional stagnation. It brought up exactly what was hidden.
All too many people do not live their own lives, and generally they know next to nothing about their real “nature”. They make convulsive efforts to “adapt”, not to stand out in any way... They are slaves of “what people think”, “what people do”, etc.~Jolande Jacobi, The Way of Individuation

This is your sign that random acts of human creativity still matter.
