Such a great loss. I will always remember the day in second grade, when our substitute teacher told us that her sister was going to visit us--and that sister was the amazing Jane Goodall.

Another exact edition of a magic-related owned by Jung (well, in this case a precise replica of the edition he owned). This set is no longer considered current scholarship in many ways, but it’s still important to see what sources Jung was working with.

I'm presenting this morning at the John Whitmer Historical Association conference. Critics have cited Joseph Smith's earliest court hearings for scrying as evidence against him, misunderstanding how these statutes targeted the lower classes, while the elite were doing the same things. #JohnWhitmer

Another acquisition for my collection of exact editions owned by C. G. Jung. This is the only copy of the 1929 edition I’ve ever seen, so I’m glad to find it!

Ha! That's actually a pair of sitting cushions. :D

Funny side effect of my fitness journey—a sit/stand desk is suddenly a great idea instead of sitting on my shrinking butt all day! 😅😅😅

My biggest success tool is weekly meal prep with delicious, low fat protein! This week it’s ground chicken with seasoning, air fryer lean pork chops, chicken salad with zero sugar Greek yogurt, and air fryer marinated chicken breast. Each container is multiple meals, quick to heat and eat!

At my heaviest, I weighed 453 pounds. I got down to 429, and then started seriously tracking (which means my updates are just from there). I set a goal to weigh under 300 pounds by my birthday (today). I MADE IT! 😁

Honored, humbled, thrilled that my work centering alternative ways of knowing was chosen in a field that can often become hogtied over methodologies!

Not everybody needs to be a strawberry. There’s room for cranberries in this world too. You can be weird and sour and only tolerated by people around the holidays because they grew up with you. I know you can. You can be fun when mixed with enough vodka. I believe in you. You can live in a bog.

About a month ago, I posted about the clipping I took from a certain lilac bush planted in the early 1840s by a famous person. Lilac is notoriously difficult to propegate. Of the six clippings I tried to start, ONE ROOTED! Now it just needs to start growing new leaves!

This was not a costume. Every element—red brocade, black cravat, pentacle pin, black skirt—was chosen for embodiment. I showed up as the magician I am: queer, grounded, and sovereign. To those still learning how to show up in your own skin: the path opens when you stop asking for permission.

150 years ago today, C. G. Jung was born. His was a life well led, with world-changing consequences
