This is the weaponization of government—full stop. If you speak out against them—or in this case do your job—they will come for you. What we’re seeing with @replamonica.bsky.social is a political stunt, and we won’t stand for it.

My recent lesson is to trust my intuition. When I feel the need to perform a ritual, I do it, letting the spirits and my soul guide me in my work without hesitation or question. Working with The Morrigan has taught me to listen and adapt. #witchsky #occultsky #pagansky #witchmadness

The power is within you. Find it and claim it. Put your mind to practice; do not just say you have it. Growing requires learning, trial, and error. Pull from your ancestors, the spirits around you, the land, the elements, dreams, and emotions, leaving nothing untapped. #witchsky #witchmadness

Remember that your trauma &/or addiction have a head start on your recovery, usually by years or decades. The fact that recovery habits & beliefs aren't "taking" right away is due to entrenched neural architecture. Give it time. Be consistent. Sustainable change WILL happen.

I am one of the 2 million. I will not be afraid to stand and pride of my identity. I will not be afraid to live my life authentically. I spent too many years trying to be someone I could never fucking be. So if you can't handle who I am leave me the fuck alone and get the fuck out my way.
