Queer, witchy, & always questioning.
Sharing politics, spirituality, and personal growth with honesty & fire.
Light doesn’t argue with darkness — it simply shines.
One flame won’t fix the world, but it can soften it.
Love is an action: tend it, protect it, and pass it on.
Be the warmth. Be the clarity. Share the light.

LGBTQIA+ people have never “appeared.” We’ve always been here.
Before borders. Before laws. Before shame.
Not new — just no longer silent.
A world without us has never existed, and never will.

My goal was never to be better than anyone else.
My goal was to be better than who I used to be.
And by that measure—showing up with more integrity, compassion, and self-trust than I had three years ago—I’m already succeeding.
Here’s to progress. Here’s to becoming.

When a vetted investigative story is killed because the government refuses interviews, that’s not editorial judgment — it’s political censorship. Silence isn’t a veto. Journalism isn’t stenography. CBS must air the story and defend press freedom.

Being a spiritual wanderer isn’t about being lost — it’s about being unwilling to lie to yourself.

Some journeys lead inward first.

A reminder from Jack: rest isn’t laziness, it’s wisdom.
Warm blankets. Soft moments. No urgency required. 🐾💚

This graphic oversimplifies — but the core issue is real.
The U.S. still relies on outdated poverty thresholds that ignore modern costs. If we don’t update how poverty is measured, we’ll keep pretending millions aren’t struggling. You can’t fix what you won’t measure.

This shouldn’t be a surprise.

Trump treats his words as law and dismisses actual law when it doesn’t serve him. That’s not leadership — it’s authoritarianism.

When loyalty to one man replaces the Constitution, democracy is already at risk.

If someone else’s suffering doesn’t matter to you because they aren’t “here legally,” then we have nothing to discuss.

Human dignity isn’t conditional.
Compassion doesn’t stop at borders.
That’s not politics — that’s character.

You don’t have to be “pro-socialism” to benefit from socialist concepts.
We already pool resources for roads, schools, fire departments, Medicare, Social Security, and food safety.

The issue isn’t labels — it’s honesty about how society actually works.

This is how democracies erode — not by outsiders, but by disengagement.
When voters stop questioning power, control shifts to those who exploit confusion fastest.

“Voting becomes meaningless when choices are designed by the same interests.” — Chomsky

Some people aren’t lacking intelligence—they’re lacking the willingness to use it. Mockery and denial are shields for those threatened by truth. Russell said it best: “When we abandon our own reason and rely on authority, trouble follows.” I’m the mirror. Their reaction says everything.

Living my truth in a world that’s breaking in too many places. I raise my voice because silence only feeds injustice. Honesty, compassion, and courage aren’t rebellion — they’re responsibility. And I refuse to look away when others are being harmed.

Holding our government accountable isn’t optional — it’s our responsibility. We’ve slipped for generations, but change starts when people finally pay attention and speak up. Laugh if you want, but I’m committed to being part of that change.

OMFG I’M INFECTED!!
If these are the “symptoms,” then being called “woke” says more about the person using it as an insult than the one wearing it.
Funny how empathy, learning, and equality are treated like a virus. If caring is contagious, let it spread.

This hits deeper than it looks.
Atheist, Christian, reindeer—fine.
Using any identity as a license to hate is not fine. The justification isn’t real; it only exists in your head, and all it creates is harm.

Got bored… so I played with filters 😄💫
Sometimes you just need to switch up the vibes and let your inner weirdo shine a little.
Which one is your favorite?

Corruption doesn’t survive because it’s strong — it survives by keeping us distracted, exhausted, and fighting each other instead of the real problem. While honest people stay divided, the corrupt stay united and strategic. Imagine if we linked arms with the same focus.
