“Listening enriches life. Noticing helps ground us in place. De-centering ourselves for a moment deepens our connections.” My latest newsletter is on the practice of listening: thorncoyle.kit.com/posts/and-so...

I was just alerted to this group in Kansas that could use donations: lgbtqks.org/donate/

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks. lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/b0...

The You Are the Spell Oracle Card this week is the Two of Bees: Protect your light, but shine on anyway.

I don’t really follow awards, but Sinners is such a rich, astonishingly gorgeous film. It deserves all the awards: acting, directing, set design, music, cinematography…

Yesterday’s view: A continent. No strife, Just land being land Mountains being mountains Clouds being clouds Sky being sky.

Off to meet up with a host of magical people at the Sacred Space/ Between the Worlds conference!

💯 I was a library kid, and am now a library adult. Libraries help strengthen communities. And as an author, I’m thrilled when people request my books at their library. Shout out to @multcolib.bsky.social whose librarians have championed my Pride Street series.

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

Just received the new, revised edition of @thorncoyle.bsky.social ’s Evolutionary Witchcraft, as well as the brand-new Stars of Power. I read EW during my hiatus from magic in the early 2000’s, and look forward to diving back in.

This gorgeous tome just arrived in the mail. Kudos to @thorncoyle.bsky.social and @maxinemiller999.bsky.social . I can’t wait to dive in!

This week’s magical offering is from my Sigil Magic book. It’s a sigil to recover what is lost…

Don’t give up. We keep us safe.

ICE shot Marimar Martinez 5 times They shot & killed Silverio Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good and Alex Pretti They kidnapped Liam Ramos & other innocent children They’ve detained over 4,000 people illegally The shutdown is well deserved, but ICE should not be paid They should be abolished

I've finally managed to do some shop restock, so I'm going to schedule a thread today that showcases some of our favorite new (and old!) items. Starting of course with the whistles. YOU CAN GET 100 WHISTLES FOR FREE at the link in my bio. But if you want THESE ones from US: thebrokencircle.etsy...

Queer fantasy with dragons. Wombat approved. .99 for a short time, pretty much everywhere. (Or you can buy the whole trilogy at a discount at ThornCoyleBooks .com) #Booksky

Pause. Breathe. Center. This world may feel messed up, but we have this beauty. We have each other to live and fight for.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Word on the street is… It’s another good day to help our neighbors.

Once again, it is time to level curses at the hoarders of wealth, the architects of brutality, and the stealers of families, innocence, and dreams... 🧵

The Oceti Sakowin (Dakota and Lakota people) have just established a tipi camp at Mni Owe Sni/Coldwater Spring, directly across from the Whipple Building. #ICEOUT #MN #Whipple

The oracle card of the week: the 3 of Crystals. What helps you slow down? You Are the Spell

Scroll up for thread. (And thank you to everyone organizing against these detention centers/internment camps in your communities)

Let our beauty be a cause for celebration. No one can steal that away.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Love everything about this

My new House of Chingasos luchador t-shirt arrived! Can’t wait to wash & wear it!

There’s “no ethical consumption under capitalism,” & we all must make hard choices, daily. I was an early adopter of Substack, my readers loved it, & it became an income stream. I quit 2+ yrs ago when @marisakabas.bsky.social organized Substackers Against Nazis even though it hurt my business.
