A thing I really like about the cottagecore/farmcore/grandmacore community, is the way simple things are romanticized. It’s a break from a culture centered around consuming, and inspires slow living and appreciation for your natural surroundings and simple joys.
To find meaning and happines in tending to your tomatoes, making jam from your grandmother’s recipe, or taking a nap in the sun is such a beautiful thing to me. There is such a feeling of luxury to be able to share a homemade cake with the people you care about, or to be able to give away some of your carrots to your neighbour, it really makes a little feel like a lot!
men’s loyalty to violence is disturbing. when women want a life free of abuse, assault, threat, & coercion, men’s first suggestion is “learn to fight back. learn to defend yourself”. i don’t want my life to be a fight. i don’t want to “prove myself” through inflicting pain & fear.
i don’t find violence and physical conflict fulfilling or self-actualising.
This full moon arrives on November 22nd/23rd at 10:39 PM MST at 0 degrees Gemini. Words will find their way out. But is everyone ready for what truths may come out? Seeing different perspectives will be important. Keywords are: truth, impulsive, antsy, passion, energy, curiosity. This full moon is ruled by a retrograde Mercury in detriment. There could be a lot of passion and curiosity to how we are feeling. Wanting truth, wanting to communicate…but forcing anything before its time can bring frustration and miscues. The moon is also squaring Mars and opposing Jupiter. Which can mean external tensions may make us go back and forth between opposing feelings of is it too much or is too little. Make sure to think before reacting, and to not suppress anger during this period. And use any anger to your advantage by fueling change. What do you need to know? What questions do you have? Ask them. And communicate your truth. This full moon will be busy, Gemini wants to find questions, and the duality seems to know we need more than one answer. Sometimes learning what questions to ask gives us more of a guide than finding a answer. ✨
There are many different factors behind this crisis, but one
incontrovertible fact looms over every explanation: there isn’t anywhere
for homeless people to live, and housing is the most reliable solution to homelessness.
Accordingly, the city of San Francisco’s Prop C is proposing to tax its
giant, super-profitable, tax-avoiding tech companies (with gross
turnover exceeding $50m) to build housing for 4,000 homeless people.
While some tech companies (like Salesforce) have backed the measure,
Lyft and Stripe have made major contributions to fund the No-on-C
campaign being run by the Chamber of Commerce’s PAC.
Lyft’s CEO calls the company “woke” and it is often positioned as “fair
trade Uber,” an ethical alternative to the Ayn-Rand-inspired
performative cruelty of Uber and its management. But Lyft’s major
investor is the human monster and Trump ally Peter Thiel
who believes women shouldn’t be allowed to vote and thinks that
“democracy is incompatible with freedom,” and every dime Lyft makes
enriches Thiel and gives him more money to spend on achieving his
apocalyptic extremist agenda.
