“Although the practice of witchcraft is not new—people have long turned to the occult for cosmic intervention during difficult times—this trend is unique because the practice of hiring witches to do spellwork is no longer considered taboo.”

Have you read my latest piece for @time.com?

it’s been an interesting response to my latest @time.com article on BlueSky to say the least. what folks are overlooking is that people are paying spiritual practitioners to protect their loved ones from nationwide immigration raids.

I just found out that this user is impersonating me to take money from people on BlueSky. They also blocked me. Can anyone help out with this?

Happy Juneteenth! On this day, I’m reminded of my mother’s family who has been in Texas since the 1800s. As a multi-generational Black Texan, I take so much pride in this day. Unfortunately, I will be working on Juneteenth, so please feel free to send some money my way.

As always, I trust Vibe Check to have a valid critique on the Americana iconography & messaging of the Cowboy Carter tour.
