Cis people REALLY gotta start making a lot more noise for trans people.

Quit buying shit, write poems, live más

This is a beautiful reflection on the power of imagination and the urgent need to reclaim it as a tool for building just, community-centered futures.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

The wise witch knows winter not as a silence, but as a crowding choir of persistent spirits. For there is no soundless part of the land, no period when the land does not offer up voices of feral magic. The witch merely needs to listen to learn this truth. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Every salt hag has her place of standing. Wave-washed rocks as threshold, as turning point, as site of summoning. For as much as we are witches of the tides and their teeth, we are also of the omen shore. We know how to plant our feet and face the storm. – #EmilyCBanting, 1981 #WitchSky

This arresting image is a c.1900 photograph of Ann “Granny” Boswell, an Irish wise woman of Romany lineage, who settled with her family in west Cornwall. Renowned as a healer, with special skill for healing sick cattle, she died in the workhouse in 1909. Rest in power.

this is a truly outstanding workbook and resource with really good questions designed to guide us, helping us hone in on our skills, strengths, areas of knowledge or expertise, capacity, and ability. using this, we won't just imagine but surgically identify our points of impact and get to work.

It's not too late to start caring about disabled people. Everyone will become disabled, if they're lucky (old age is disabling). You personally know *many* disabled people. 1 in 4 adults in the US is disabled (source: adata.org ) It's not too late to start caring & acting from that place of care.

I can't stress this enough, join groups online or in person with people who clearly see what's happening currently. It will ground you and make you less fearful.

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

1000% what I mean. 🥹🥰🫶🏽

I deeply believe that one of our greatest forms of resistance is our joy. They want our pain, our fear, our terror. I refuse. I am joy. I am love and fulfillment and bounty and beauty; I am a living, breathing expression of the divine magic of the Universe in all Her wisdom.

This book from @charliejane.bsky.social is a life saver for this moment. Get your hands on it ASAP. #BookSky bookshop.org/p/books/neve...

The hush of winter lingers but Candle flames flicker like the first whispers of spring, banishing winter’s hush. Milk, white, rich, and sacred, flows in tribute to life stirring beneath the frost. Birch, the tree of beginnings, stands watch at the threshold of change. #scottishfolkmagic

I 🖤 books as divination tools! Here’s a recent bit of bibliomancy using the 9th chapter, 9th paragraph and 9th line: “Belonging to each other *is* the game.” - from Ross Gay’s book of essays Inciting Joy Feels right. Is right.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

Charlie, I hope that you are living deliciously 🐐

"The Devil as activist knows what they want out of the world they help build, and they choose to do the work accordingly. They confront their darkest truths, the ways they perpetuate oppression through the practices they can’t seem to release." — @feminnis.bsky.social, "Tarot for the Hard Work"
