New Moon Pull for May
This month’s new moon is a nice bit of energy. I did strictly the Osho Zen this time, but I put together a little holly offering beforehand. On the left, “Playfulness” is illustrated by a clown dressed in transparent red, orange and green overalls, scattering a million stars. While I’m not a fan of clowns,…

I wasn’t there as a writer, though I…

The First Amoeba of Trolling
This morning I woke up to an interest dilemma. I’m getting spam-subscribed to a podcast that has a confirm email which contains some slurs. The confirms are sent to an email that I only use for writing-related work. It’s not the same email that is on this site. :tilts head, quirks ears: It’s simultaneously puzzling…
