This course is about self, community, and imagining the future you want to help build. xxx Erika Phoenix

I hope that people will take inspiration from the course to develop their own creative and activist practices, even understanding the value of the smallest actions and how they can make a huge impact. This course is not prescriptive and does not dictate the actions that will change your life or the lives of others, but provides the structure for you to return to in times of overwhelm and understanding that the holistic nature of community development needs your presence.

It also teaches us empathy and seeing someone else's perspective, giving space and time for people who are normally silenced. Learning to be in the audience teaches us the value of being an active listener and witnessing someone's personal story.

My background is primarily in theatre, and it has been deeply impactful on my activist work. Theatre teaches us the power of actions coupled with precise language and how those can stop someone in their tracks to consider what they have just witnessed rather than accepting things "as they always have been".

Hearing about my fellow facilitators' creative joys and their passion for developing a kinder, more compassionate world has lit a fire in me, and I think anyone who attends the course will feel the same. It was important to me that the course structure reflects the importance of learning about new ideas and different perspectives from the people around us.

Art for Activism was originally proposed with only myself as a facilitator, but after listening to the work and interests of the other Neuroqueer Creative facilitators, it was clear that this course would be more impactful if it featured as many different voices and perspectives, and invited as many artistic mediums as possible.

these techbros are sponsoring a WWE match and I'm crying because they have embedded on their website a live capture of their stock crashing. 😭

💠 Tarot for Creatives: Workshop Overview 💠
What will the workshop look like??
If you're anything like me, you might get nervous around new people or experiences. So I've laid it out as best as I can without giving everything away!
The top text reads KR Presents Tarot for Creatives with Erika Phoenix. The center image is a fanned out deck of tarot cards with The Empress on top. It shows a woman reclining with a floral dress and starry crown. She holds a scepter up. The cards are colorized in yellow, purple, and cyan. The bottom tagline reads "Workshop overview" over a lilac bar. The background is pastel hues and blobs of color in light blue, lavender, orange, and pink. The text reads "Tarot for Creatives Overview" and underneath in bold "What's the breakdown?" This 2 hour workshop will: (the following is a bulleted list) Welcome and Introduction, Brief History, Your Creative and Intuitive Perspective, Questions for the cards, One card exercise, Break, Three Card Exercise, Creative Seasons Exercise, Other ways to explore, Wrap up & Resources, and check ins along the way! Reserve your tickets at the link in bio! There are two blob silhouettes revealing an upside down man with a long shirt, hanging hair, and a halo. The bottom right blob reveals a woman leaning down to pet a lion. Both have bright colors.

Tomorrow at 11am BST my dear friend Sophie/HoldOn_Wait_OhNo will be sharing her slideshow on Why We Should All Hate The Ocean. If you think you love the ocean, prepare to have your mind CHANGED because she believes the only way to move forward is filling in the whole thing with concrete.
An underwater scene of a whale, manta ray, and schools of fish swimming. The top text reads "Lets Save the Ocean?" with the tagline "LOL, No thanks. Let's fill that fucker in with concrete and trash." At the bottom are water bottles and little skulls. The middle text reads "Come find out why on Monday 21st July 2025. The ocean is disgusting and we all need to get on board with getting rid of it: Lets fill that bitch in with concrete. A presentation full of facts by Sophie / HoldOn. Twitch - @ErikaMightBeBees. Time TBC i don't know cause I'm in Japan and I don't know what time it is in the UK and ya know stuff changes so I'm sure Erika will announce it or something." A large white fluffy cloud in a blue sky over an endless, calm ocean. The top is a series of screenshots of text from a twitch chat. The various messages read "Jhubejello: The waves make nice calming noises. Jhubejello: It helps many people sleep." "wellsy_wells: surfing looks cool." "Hasan_BMA: it is very nice to look at" "jhubejello: it's full of yum yums" "jhubejello: if we didn't have the ocean we wouldn't have salt and food would taste bad". The white text at the bottom half of the poster reads "The ocean is gross. You have all been influenced and lied to by big ocean propaganda. Let's fiull this fucker in with concrete. A presentation by Sophie/HoldOn. Monday 25th July - 11am BST. Twitch - @ErikaMightBeBees"

I can't stop dithering meme templates, because that makes sense?

We're going live at 11 to continue watching The Circle!

Here's what you missed last week:
Joey, a white man with short dark brown hair, is sat wearing a black tank top and pants and a very stained white apron and looking at a table covered in icing of all colors and a poorly put together cake with very messy but colorful tiers. The whole table is a mess.

Thrilled to announce that I am an official co-streamer for @wholesomegames.com this year!! We will be going live on twitch at 4pm BST to get hype for the direct at 5, then playing through some game demos and filling up our wish lists!

They are accompanied by a yellow and red flying critter and an anthropomorphic deer character riding a flying ship. The deer is dressed in a red jacket and blue pants with a brown satchel. They are holding a blue cap. The glider they are on is yellow and teal and reads "wholesome games". There is blue and pink text reading "Official co-streamer ErikaMightBeBees". The background is blue sky with pink and white stars and grey clouds, a rainbow, and green grass.

Big things are coming and no, it's not me getting a graphic design degree. Ha ha- unless......
A yellow and white promotional image with black and blue text that reads "Big things are coming... 2024". There is a pink silhouette with a blue and purple squiggle design obscuring it.
