Our concept of what is useful, productive, or worthwhile must radically change. In nature sitting around being yourself, following desires and instinct is exactly what is useful and needed. Evolution and change happen so slowly, so chaotically, who knows which random idea, art, or tool will become part of the next phase. All we can do is try to live well with each other and be good apes.

"Men, women, and enbies" still doesn't include everyone.
Enby is not a gender in itself, but rather a descriptor for many kinds of gender that are outside the m/f binary.
There are other genders that don't even reference this binary. There are genders from other cultures that function totally differently.
Plz listen to the folks saying this - enby is not and should not be "third gender" or a catchall for "other"
Thank you.

Doing tarot readings professionally, almost all of my clients are women. But I can guarantee 99% of the time if a man comes in for a reading he will ask if his ex is gonna take him back.
There are clients that other readers warn each other about - men who will go to every psychic in town week after week just to hear one of them say maybe there's a chance.
Bitch she doesn't want you back quit creepin and go to therapy.

Is there space on your homestead for one without youth and vigor
Is there room in your syndicate for the one who rocks and shouts
Does your committee have time for the one who stutters and struggles
Do these tiny homes come with ramps and aides
Will this new utopia hold space for us
Where do the elders sit
Where do the strange ones live
Where is the quiet place
Where we can go to mourn ourselves and others lost

Economics is just astrology for white boys

My soil science class taught me how to eat dirt

@FASA_Andrew_1879 @maloki the Hudson and Delaware valley areas have had quite a few recent land reclamation acts by indigenous nations - there may be a potential for partnership if folks could use the land for gardens or gatherings, etc

Age 0-3: awesome. Reading lots, talking lots, no pants required, got a brother.

Age 4-9: kind of weird but still ok? Mom and dad yell about stuff i don't understand, but school says i'm smart. Sometimes I have to go to the principal and i don't undarsand why...

Age 10-14: my body is doing weird shit and everyone around me has to comment on it. Getting in fights with mom over religion, sexuality, and everything. Still enjoy school despite too many boys fighting in the hallway.

Age 15-19: I have no idea, honestly. Got really into being a woman and tangled up with this crappy dude. High school is over but I hate everything. Moved across the country.

Age 20-22: dropped out of college, marriage is a scam, working retail and wanting to cry all the time.

Age 23-26: divorced that crappy dude, more crying, more college, better job, still supremely awkward

Now: self employed??? Not sure what the fuck i'm doing. Spent 25 years recovering from jesus and heterosexuality. More crying probably

If you're new to meditation, treat it like a session of therapy or even a kink scene. Make sure you have time to recover afterwards, and be prepared to deal with emotional or physical reactions like crying or difficult memories. Giving yourself a soft, gentle space to meditate and ground again is important if you're not sure how the meditation will affect you.

Have you tried:
- empathy
- self-compassion
- honest communication
- setting boundaries
- rest

Oooh it's Friday #ff #followfriday
Plant nerds in the midwest, queer autistic witches, hit me up

it's really entertaining to me how white climate activists and progressives in general (esp online) will bemoan how "humans" have destroyed the planet -- while ignoring the fact that colonialism has/is currently wiping out sustainable ways of being that have existed for millennia.
It is the height of hubris and eurocentrism to assign blame to our entire species in all it's diverse facets for the crimes of europe's capitalist regime.

Some of the most sustainable ways of being are exactly the cultures most at risk of climate and industry violence. stop whitewashing humanity.

@alva the entire point of the Aesir Vanir war was that cooperation is better than conflict. Odin literally creates his own doom by trying to prevent queer outsiders from becoming powerful. Nazis are really bad at reading.

Being mean is fun but gets old after a while. Starting to really prefer genuine ppl to cynical assholes.

The religion started as a slave rebellion, and the message in the NT is really socialism and disavowal of harmful institutions. Jesus flips tables yall. But then the romans had to go and inject politics into it and made it into a tool of the state so like, thanks again colonialism for ruining everything.
