I know that what I have to offer my community is teaching them how to improve their lives by developing a relationship with plants. What I wish is that there was a plant that could help ease the grief and anger of having to live on the same timeline as ICE.

My friend who was arrested for being queer in public in WV had his consultation with a lawyer and now has an idea of court and legal costs and needs to raise a bit more money. He's facing a year in prison for essentially "cop didn't like the look of him." www.gofundme.com/f/5d3hr-help...

People do not talk enough about mental health for small business owners. They don’t talk about the impacts that a poor economy has people’s emotional well being.

As a highly sensitive person navigating collective grief on a daily basis, my pain and love is for the people dying in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, the families separated by ICE, trans folks losing their rights, houseless folks trying to survive, chronically ill people without health care.

Trying to channel all the deep feels into art- hby?

if you are in love with autistic people just say it. we’re your special interest. you don’t need to make a registry about it

It doesn’t feel right to worry about the economy or my business when I can go home and sleep in my bed all the while our brutal government sends people to a death camp in El Salvador. bring back Kilmer Abrego Garcia. Bring home Andry Hernández Romero.

happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️🕯️

This Saturday at Milk Thistle

lately everything feels like Pisces in a bad way….

When we talk about boycotts- why only one day? why not creating a plan for long term avoidance of big box stores as much as possible?

just because we live in an oligarchy doesn’t mean we can’t live like communists

but the frustrations of continuing to live in & attempt to function in late capitalism with these conditions makes us depressed, disregulated, angry, disconnected, & leave us with high rates of addiction. so maybe it's us who will be dismantling the current system, just simply by existing.

so I've begun to think that maybe, just maybe, autism & adhd seem to be proliferating because they are a dominant gene that want to reproduce, part of Pluto in Aquarius' scheme that will usher us out of linear, hierarchal ways of being, back to ways of being communal, spirit guided and earth-based.

although these conditions & not having understood them made life difficult, neurodivergence is a superpower- big imagination, storytelling & narrative abilities, hypersensitivity & empathy despite challenges with connection- it's just only when living under capitalism that they cause difficulties

since getting formally diagnosed with autism & adhd last year, I've been revisiting all my past selves to explain to them that it was SENSORY ISSUES all along- and the need to research and deep dive on a topic as a form of grounding and regulation. (cont.)

Doing what I do best 💙

With anger against Musk and the techno-fascist billionaires growing and calls for protests against Tesla this weekend getting louder, we're releasing a zine version of our text, "Good Night, Tech Right: Pull the Plug on AI Fascism." #TeslaTakeover itsgoingdown.org/good-night-t...

No time for beef with anyone who isn’t a billionaire in 2025. that’s my motto

I want to tell you that in these times, your art matters. the stories you share are the rays of sunlight casting light on earth. and I can tell you that without hesitation. but also, I want to hold up the mirror and tell it’s reflection the same thing with that same dedication.
