Blessed Lammas. Here is my first attempt at a braided loaf. Blessed be the start of the grain harvest season!

I’m back visiting Europe. I grew up across a few countries here. The moment I landed, I felt my anxiety dissipating.
I then realized how batshit it was that while packing, I was also hiding apps on my phone. I sat with how much of my social media to delete.
This isn’t normal.
This. Is. Not. Normal

For teacher appreciation week, I made from scratch sourdough cinnamon rolls. Instead of cream cheese I used labne for the icing and lemme tell you, that was a game changer!
Now maybe one day I’ll make them for myself 🙃😆

This made me cry. This man understands what it is to speak with power and conviction, to reject the short memories and desire to re-narrate the past to favor one’s own image.

Shame on the US

For Ostara my son and I dyed eggs. I attempted to teach him how to imbue blessings in them.
“Make a wish!” I said.
He pauses and goes:
“Presents!”
I laugh and hand him another. Without hesitation he says:
“More presents!”

Ah. Well. Sure why not 😆

Read. What the Venezuelans deported to El Salvador experienced.

"One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, 'I'm not a gang member. I'm gay. I'm a barber.'
…
"The man asked for his mother, then buried his face in his chained hands and cried as he was slapped again."

Kia knows where it’s at!
They also supplied the vehicles for the latest season of Queer Eye.
Kia saw the opening and took it 👏

Are the tariffs about economic prowess?

We already get so many goods far cheaper in this country than anywhere overseas. Maybe in an economic blast and reshuffle goods *might* be made more affordable.

But what this really reeks of is imperialism. 🧵 2/

Ostara altar is up! 🐣

I lived for many years in Vienna, so my spring equinox altar always features the Austrian Easter tree (Ostereierbaum) tradition of hanging painted, hollowed eggs on pussy willow branches.

Before each seasonal celebration, my son and I paint together. Thanks to the pooka pages archive, we had some beautiful imagery to watercolor.

“Sexism, like racism, is also a structural requirement of capitalism, as capitalism must smuggle the super exploitation of women as a consequence of their ‘natural inferiority’.”
