Anyone interested in giving direct cash #mutualaid to a #Black #Trans woman so she can work DoorDash? I’ve known her for 6 years and can vouch for her. Please share.

I swear to God, I didn’t mean this lawn decor as a metaphor.

#morningritual with the trees and birds, friends and relatives of the Cherokees since time immemorial.

May we always keep in mind the ancestors, the ones who live in and through this place even though we no longer see them in body.

#morningritual outside here for the first time in months. The high today will be 48F.

Spring is coming. May we respect the holy Earth and her powers of regeneration.

#morningritual it’s good to spend time with the powers who’ve been here long before us and will be here long after us.

May the Earth and her many beings sustain us this day and every day.

#morningritual with cats. Ready for this deeply frigid cold to be over.

May Bastet, the Huntress, protector of women and children, protector against epidemic diseases, guard us all.

#morningritual clouds clearing, cold and windy.

May Boreas, the north wind, be kind to us all this week.

#morningritual snow is coming, but right now there’s a fluffy gray cat keeping me company.

May Bastet, the Huntress, protector of women and children, protector against epidemic diseases, watch over us all and purr softly in our laps and homes.

#morningritual 23F at 6:30am. Happy to be home.

May Vesta, goddess of the hearth and of the well-governed state, guide our steps. May Justice, patron of the rule of law, protect those who live their lives to honor Her.

Hey, so, why is “gaol”, with different pronunciations, the Scots Gaelic word for love and the English word for prison? 😂

Epic political trolling. And great situationist art.

These signs are real and were posted in DFW Airport bathroom stalls, but it’s a epic level troll.

Those “cameras” are the self-flushing sensor. That phone number? Straight to Dan Patrick’s office.

#morningritual feeling blessed and daunted by the responsibilities before me. Joyful and ready to commit to the work.

May we all take up the shovel and be resolute in setting boundaries with thorn-bushes, human and otherwise. May we all plant fig trees of compassion and berry bushes of peace.

#morningritual i’ve known this sunrise all my life.

May Eos, goddess of the dawn, bring us all Light, and may Helios, god of the daytime sun, shine upon the world.

#morningritual I have been blessed this morning by a Waffle House sausage egg and cheese grits bowl and a bottle of orange juice.

May the Great Good One bring to us food that nourishes the spirit, and justice that nourishes the soul.
