losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

“Remind us. Remind yourself. What are you aspiring to build?” — Jacki Chuculate I made this piece in 2018. Jacki’s message is still vitally important.

He legit just pardoned the president of Honduras for drug trafficking but now Maduro is going to stand trial for “narco terrorism.” This all makes a lot of sense and definitely isn’t about oil.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Seven weeks until I get to present at Between The Worlds. I couldn’t be more stoked. Or nervous. New year = doing new things, right? 🤷‍♀️ More info and registration are found here: www.between-the-worlds.com

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

This is the best idea every year.

There is no shame in being on a tight budget, by the way. While flaunting wealth and "lifestyle" might seem like a flex, it isn't realistic for most folks. Let's treat budgeting and living below your means with respect. There's no shame in frugality. Sometimes, it's your only option.

This is so cool. youtu.be/NPxrP_TrPcI?...

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

A review of a book by @morgandaimler.bsky.social from @utaodruid.bsky.social John Beckett. They're both worth following here. The book is one I want to read soon. #pagan #witch #fairy #fairfolk

A serious (but not too SERIOUS) question: What’s you’re range for thinking "OH, I need to do X,” and successfully performing X without getting distracted/lost/fogetting? I’m 3-7 out of 10: 7 times I’ll hit it, 3 times I’ll space it, on the best days. On the worst days, it inverts. How about you?

I’ve seen a bunch of videos that purport to be all sorts of people getting physical with ICE thugs & telling them off loudly. While emotionally satisfying, an interesting thing about most of them is that it’s very hard to tell if these are real or deepfakes. Currently, anything with clear.. 1/4

I’m honored to be presenting at the Between The World/Sacred Space conference in February with these folks. I’ll be talking about spirit ecologies, the Old Lines, and Feral Queens. I hope to see some of you there! You can see all the presenters and presentations here: sacredspacebtw2026.sched.com

the people who are trying to make us lonely—who are the same people who are trying to make us poor, who are the same people who are drying the lakes to build data centers, who are the same people who are trying to shut down borders, who are the same people who drew those borders in the first place

A friendly reminder that wherever you can, given the reality of your situation, fuck all these massive corporations and the billionaire class they support. Give your holiday money to local and small biz, make gifts, whatever. Donate it to good causes. You do have material power. Use it.

You can take my survey of contemporary Paganism, plus a number of other awesome seminars with brilliant scholars!

Since we’re talking about books and money, I’ll also talk specifically to new occult authors, because I watch new people go through this every single season: your first book might change your life, but almost surely not in the way you think.

The other thing you can do to support authors is to tell your friends if you liked a book. Most of us get little to no marketing. Word of mouth is everything, even with social media. Tell your friends!

This made my morning. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great book! #witchsky

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to tolerate being subjected to the sort of abuse, that she has subjected trans people to for years, for approximately one week.

Well, that’s a strange thing to post! 😂 There’s a story behind this: One night, I wake up and end up in a trance talking to the allies, and they are basically like, “Hey, we know you don’t love the titles, but Lian Brook-Tyler and Sarah Faith Gottessdiener are right, you’re a teacher.” 1/3

Your reminder, that just 2.9% of men deported by ICE and sent to El Salvador have any criminal records. The USA Government is literally deporting gardeners, dishwashers, cleaners, busboys, blacksmiths and locksmiths, factory employees, dancers, bartenders, tattoo artists, and vendors.
