Well hello!

I'm Coyote (or Mae), and I have been practicing witchcraft intentionally for over 30 years, with an animist focus.

I live near PDX with cats, chickens, partner and teen.

My latest project is a new community, started with friends. Join us!

Fuck Columbus Day and Tr*mp's pathetic attempts to regress this country to a weaker, less prosperous, and more racist time.

Tomorrow we celebrate Indigenous People's Day. Native People have been here since time immemorial and will outlast Tr*mp and his fear and hate.

'We're back, Italians.' Trump ditches Indigenous Peoples Day to honor Christopher Columbus

The Trump administration has taken a keen interest in how U.S. history is presented, targeting alleged "woke" policies and institutions.

Thank you @labornotes.bsky.social for putting on the Puget Sound Troublemakers School today.

I always seem to have a schedule conflict for the PDX one and I am glad I made the drive up to Seattle today.

I learned a lot, made some connections, and filled my cup with support and solidarity.

We have at least one standing annual naked bike ride. (Public nudity is more or less legal here). So it's not something they came up with just for protest but it's definitely something that gets attention outside of Portland!

Am I hallucinating or is the Memphis occupation receiving considerably less national attention than literally everywhere else? Folks are getting snatched here too! I know Portland is fascinating and we’ve got some crime and our mayor rolled over but c’mon !

When people say they don't care about politics, I say "well that's too bad because politics sure as shit cares about you. And not usually in a good way."

So many of us have some characteristic or fact of life that can and will be politicized. It's privileged to think otherwise.

A slogan that should be revived is 'The Personal is ALWAYS political."

If you can become a pawn to the state, made into a political bargaining chip, your life is political to SOMEONE.

FIGHT LIKE IT.

As a parent of a child with autism, this isn’t just politics, it’s personal.

The federal gov’t firing special-needs staff in the Dept. of Education is a direct blow to families like mine. Our kids deserve better.

In Congress, I’ll fight to protect & fully fund special education.

Yeah public nudity is not generally illegal here. But this is still great.

We love any excuse for a naked bike ride. But more power to these folks for doing it on a chillier and rainy day! (I mean not that rain ever really stops our outdoor activities but I want you all to be extra impressed.)

Do your youngsters need a custom Freedom Frogs costume? Because nothing says “protecting democracy” like a frog suit, a cape, and a wild sense of civic duty. Perfect for hopping over disinformation and ribbiting loudly for freedom.

Photo shows a knock-off Spirit Halloween costume bag labeled Violent Antifa Terrorist. The “terrorist” costume is… an inflatable frog suit with a blue scarf, like a mascot who lost a bet. The package promises an “air pump” and “a thirst for the blood of the innocent,” which sounds like a metal album, not a Halloween accessory. Batteries and Molotov cocktails “not included,” because apparently even imaginary anarchy has budget constraints.
