A reminder that “Autism isn’t caused by Tylenol” is important, but “Autistic people aren’t a problem to solve” is even bigger.

Does this mean if we give y'all more #Tylenol you'll learn how to have direct, honest communication for the first time in your neurotypical lives? Asking for a friend.

Really disappointed that all that Bible school didn't pay off this morning.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

Besom making with the family was a hit! So excited for this new equinox tradition ✨ Blessed Mabon, loves

It's so deeply uncomfortable to hear non-autistic people talk about us like our existence is some kind of national tragedy.

Things that are magick that most people do without realizing it: •Making birthday candle wishes •Kissing under mistletoe •Leaving milk & cookies for Santa •Looking for 4-leaf clovers •Hanging a horseshoe for good luck •Playing "he loves me, loves me not" on flower petals What else, #witchsky?

I did an equinox attraction/banishment candle spell today & I swear I see a woman crawling out of the banishment candle 😅. Blessed Mabon & Happy Fall Equinox, my witchy loves. 🔮✨🪄 #witchsky #pagansky

Please check on your #autistic friends tomorrow. We're once again going to be pathologized based on inaccurate science, with a side of eugenicist language. Check on us.

In a world with very little good news right now, this is just...beyond words. But the priority must be ending the genocide. Now. www.bbc.com/news/live/cp...

I knew one day I'd have to watch powerful men burn the world down, I just didn't expect them to be such losers.

I am SO proud of one of my best friends for launching his own show about the weird (without all of the bad weird). If you're looking for a good egg with an open mind & a great sense of humor, check out @thezignal.bsky.social's new show - @tobehuman.bsky.social! So proud of you, buddy 💓. #ufosky

If you want to understand what is going on right now culturally, I highly recommend reading about the rise of Christianity from the classical perspective. Any of Catherine Nixey's books are a great starting point. #booksky

Finally went to the garden...👀

I've worked in a lot of conflict zones & I have two pieces of advice on how to stay sane right now: 1) Stay informed, but don't over-inundate. Get the information, take an action if you can, then move on to something else. 2) Do something that brings you joy. It's not selfish, it's essential.

Woke up to my mini schnauzer sitting patiently at my pillow and staring because she wanted me to spoon her more closely 🥹

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

I hear Tyler Robinson causes autism

Timeline cleanse: the love of my life🐾

The new Dan Brown novel is basically a fun fiction-based method to explain nonlocal consciousness (NLC) to normies. It does a great job of explaining the brain as a receiver of NLC, filtered by GABA (which is lower in NDEs/autism/epilepsy/meditation, etc.) DEF read it! #ufosky #psisky #booksky

My witch's chandelier might just be my new favorite item I've ever made 🥰 #witchsky #pagansky

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Our partner in peace 🤡

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

All I want is a quiet used bookstore, a creek to dip my toes in, and enough space to grow some of my own food.

I collect vintage crewel embroidery pieces & my best friend showed up out of the blue with this piece, knowing poppies have a spiritual significance for me. Isn't she STUNNING 😭

I've said it once & I'll say it again. #Autism isn't an excuse for shitty behavior. Neither is past trauma. They are *contextual* components that hopefully garner a little grace, but ONLY if you're willing to take responsibility for your own actions & emotions. ❤️, your autistic pal

Happy Blood Moon, my sisters & witchy friends 🌕. What did you do to kick off eclipse season? #witchsky #pagansky #occultsky

I'm low key super excited for the Dan Brown novel release next week. Call me basic, but I *love* that ancient history conspiracy genre shit.

Anyone else from #UFOsky pumped about the new structured totes at Trader Joe's 😅

After failing to find a journal that I liked, I finally bit the bullet & am making my own grimoire from handmade paper I'll bind together. I'm spending this week adding notes and spells to the right as a way to observe & reflect.🩸🌕 Has anyone else made their own grimoire? #witchsky #pagansky

TIL that my husband was in "advanced" recorder class in the 4th grade. While us plebes were learning Hot Cross Buns, he was apparently shredding My Heart Will Go On. So, he's better than you is what I'm getting at.

The summer heat always wears me down, but nights like this heal me 🧡 #witchsky #booksky

When you're a #witch, it's always spooky season 🔮 • #witchsky #booksky

I'm just saying.

One of the worst things about living in San Diego is the fact that September is now fully a summer month. How am I supposed to go apple picking in a tank top FFS?

she'll only be here for a short time, face to the sun her deep burgundies like a berry jam dripping down your lips then she'll droop and fade, feeding those around her with her exposed belly of seed whispering that she was once magnificent #poetrysky

I've been sick for 3.5 weeks with COVID, my husband for 4 and I cannot emphasize how fucking awful this strain is. I've been on steroids, narcotics, and inhalers just to get through the last week and I'm only now approaching "normal bad".

I have a flight credit that expires soon and I'm seriously considering a day trip to Mexico City just to wander the ruins again. Any other cities in the western hem that have archaeological sites within an hour or so of the airport?

In case you guys didn't already know, the @gettymuseum.bsky.social has the best book selection if you're interested in witchcraft, ancient history, art, or mythology! These puppies can't hit my mailbox soon enough 📬 #booksky #witchsky

My garden was absolutely bursting with life today 🌿🥰

Thanks for the love and messages, all. I'm back home after a scary ambulance trip to the hospital yesterday. I'm hoping I can manage the rest of this bear at home. I know the pandemic feels far away, but a gentle reminder it never left and to *please* take care of yourselves.

We've been sick for 2-3 weeks & I finally tested positive for COVID at the ER after some false negatives. Folks, this new variant is AWFUL. Worst I've ever had; it literally feels like my body is dying. Please protect yourselves - booster, masks, early Paxlovid etc.

🌻There's something truly magical about putting a seed in the ground & spending weeks nurturing it until this happens. Sunflowers are incredible. Did you know they can pull toxic metals from the soil? They're often used in soil remediation efforts in former industrial lots! 🌻

I just brought my big boy recliner into my bedroom & I think it may have fixed me.

I want to host a big kid summer camp where we do nothing but play board games, read quietly together, gather wildflowers, and make crafts. Bonus points if we do witchy shit at nighttime.

Way before it was ever a movie, I was captivated by Liz Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love travelogue. The way she wrote just spoke to me in ways no other author had. So when I made it to Ubud, I wandered through countless back alleys to find this hidden place. Ketut Liyer's family home.

Historically, witches were also herbalists & the ones who provided traditional medicine/midwifery for their communities. There wasn't a clear distinction between the ritual & medicinal. But so many herbal meds are the basis for modern ones. Pumped to dig into my witchy heritage & learn 🌿 #witchsky
