The Personal IS Political
Blessings Darlings!
We old folks, who remember feminist activism in the ’70’s, remember the mantra “the personal is political” – that is, a lot of what you personally experience is a result of what the Powers That Be allow/encourage. Your experiences reflect systemic problems – they are not JUST ‘your problems.’ The phrase is just as true today, 40+ years later, as it was then.

10 Daily Things Witches Might Just Consider Doing.
Blessings Darlings!
I just read a really masturbatory and inefficient list of ‘What Witches Do’. It was immediately obvious to me that I had to create my own list! Really, almost all of them come down to either “Work to bring down the Patriarchy” or “Do your craft more efficiently” But for details…
Bring Your Vegetable To Work Day
Blessings Darlings!
This post is not about bringing garden surplus to share with your coworkers. Maybe next year I’ll be able to post about that. My garden’s not going to …
There’s plastic in the Ocean!
Blessings Darlings!
