We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

I loooove the witches in the Suspiria remake. While it's not a realistic representation of magick, they capture how magick *feels* pretty accurately. The ritualistic dancing is also visually stunning!

It's #IndigenousPeoplesDay!

Fellow settlers, if you have a little extra, today is a great day to give to Native Mutual Aid and/or one of my favorite organizations, Native American Rights Fund.

The reason colonizers are so afraid of immigrants is because they make the mistake of thinking that because all colonizers are immigrants, all immigrants are also colonizers. They think immigrants come with evil in their hearts, because colonizers come with evil in their hearts.

Sylvia Rivera was a gay liberation and transgender activist who championed the rights of people pushed to the margins.

Of Venezuelan and Puerto Rican descent, her legacy is a reminder that Latinx history is LGBTQ+ history is American history.

Today and every day, happy Indigenous Peoples Day
#art #illustration #indigenousart #lgbtq #queerart #comics #indigenouspeoplesday

Colorful illustration of a nonbinary Indigenous person in front of the US capitol building. They have a shaved hear, black jeans, and a leather jacket and boots in shades of yellow. A red handprint is painted over their mouth as they crouch in front of a bow of burning sage. The smoke from the sage wafts over the outlines of the capitol building that are drawn in white over a purple and pink background.

A solemn Indigenous Peoples' Day!

Remember, Peoples' Day NOT People's Day
•"People's" is the possessive of the word people—the plural of person
•"Peoples'" is the possessive of the word peoples—used to refer to groups of people

"Indigenous Peoples' Day" celebrates the many Indigenous Groups❤️

I think shadow work without artistic expression is like surgery without a scalpel.

The fact that there is so much diversity in theology & philosophy within our community it one of the coolest aspects. I'd be so bored if all pagans and witches believed the same beliefs and performed identical rituals.
