Thank you for being you
It’s a phrase I use on occasion, "Thank you for being you," or some close variation of that. It sounds kind of cheesy and trite yet it is not. Good and kind people are not as few and far between as one might think if we judge only by the news we get fed on […]
Courage ~ I haz it?
Courage. Seven letters in a particular order that I’ve never been able to own. I can own parts of it. I can own "rage" and "cage" and "race" and "gear". "Gore" and "care" and even "grace". I could go on, but you get the point. I’ve been told many times throughout this life that I […]

It feels like volunteering to die
3W4DW – prompts: chronic/invisible illness; sexual abuse Here we are again back where we’ve been before. The landscape looks a bit different with less fog.

An elegant response by CAYA Coven to the Lilith ritual issue at P’con
CAYA’s statement, released on at least a few local email lists. I’ve added emphasis & reformatted a tiny bit (broken paragraphs in a couple of spots). ~1700 words; not a quick read. <—– formatting changes via elf posted at the_thinking_pagan comm here on dreamwidth. Dear friends and colleagues, As many of you are aware, this past […]
Hail the Traveler! Papa Jones you were thoroughly loved and you shall be missed.
It’s been a long road for my F-I-L. From the moment of diagnosis in June with prostate cancer, to the test results of it being also in his bones he’d voiced a desire to die "now". Numerous times he spoke of how lucky he was, how what a good life he’d had, how great his […]
Where is it OK to out spiritual Kin?
Oh that’s right. Nowhere. NoFuckingWhere. Real name, RL workplace ….. outing without permission. Saying it is "ok" based on a claim of a blog post that is a dead link as proof. Nice. <——- There is a blue stream circling my head right now. What you get, is "nice". Hear it in the most disdainful dripping […]
