Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I've returned to the books Juniper and Wise Child by Monica Furlong, books that, in hindsight have shaped my ideas about magic more than I could see when I found them as an impressionable 11 year old. I've been delighted to also read the third book of the set, Coleman.

I have several ebboks, zines, and digital class materials I would like to make available. I'm looking for recommendations for delivering digital content. I was planning to use GumRoad, but after they screwed over several folks I know, I'm rethinking that.

You can wait until things get truly desperate and then start working magic. Or you can start now, before things get too desperate, while you still have time to build some magical capabilities under circumstances that aren’t yet do or die. www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbe...

All our Instagram posts about this conference were flagged—likely because discussing queerness and sexuality is becoming increasingly restricted. This highlights the political relevance of our work, though. We’re struggling to reach our audience and need your help spreading the word. 💕🌈

Movement Memos is back! What can rent strikes and tenant unions teach us about the work of collective survival in this moment? I talked with LA Tenants Union co-founders Tracy Rosenthal and Leonardo Vilchis about their work and how the lessons of their book, Abolish Rent, connect with this moment.

“Don’t worry about the government banning you living as your gender; you can still be trans in your heart and that is what matters.” If I hear this take again I will scream. It’s a bad fucking take and doesn’t help anyone.

It’s a good time to remind everyone that scammers love moments of social instability like this. Emails like these are common phishing scams and they’re easy to creep thru the cracks. Note the occurrence, ignore and delete them.
