Witchy Slice-of-life Drawings 🍁

if you’re interested in mutual aid and aren’t sure where to start, i can’t recommend enough joining a local Buy Nothing group. in a nutshell, it’s a totally free gift economy— people give from their own abundance and ask for what they need. it’s indispensable as a recent grad household— we got the majority of our basic furniture, as well as an AC unit through the group— but what i find particularly wonderful are the ways other forms of community aid popup through the group.

i’ve seen people organize meal trains for strangers. people fleeing from domestic violence have gone from a suitcase of possessions to a fully stocked house in 48 hours. home hospices being set up with goods from six different households. cookbook lending. distribution of windfall apples and tomato harvest overabundance. grocery pickup for ill folks. people looking out for listings for others. everything from bread to baby carseats to house paint to pet food.

and much of it is done between strangers, often between people who would not recognize or identify with the term “mutual aid”. it lowers waste, goods go directly to people who need them, and it avoids the sometimes dubious morality of the thrift shop circuit. i’d really recommend it.

DANIEL KALUUYA AND KEKE PALMER

in NOPE (final trailer)

actually i love growing older and learning how i work as a person like realizing what kinds of fabrics feel best on my skin or what brand of yogurt i like best or how I want to be touched. watching myself change, enjoying brussel sprouts when I used to hate them as a child, understanding why I got angry in that one conversation 10 years ago… there are so many mysteries inside me that i have yet to unravel and there will always be more and sometimes i think maybe its all worth it

Current reads! (I can’t control myself)

Wherever You Go, There You Are: Before bed and morning read, I found it in a little library. It’s helping me get into meditation and mindfulness again. Easy to read with short chapters.

Positive Pagan: Found her at my local occult/ metaphysical shop. My brain has been very negative so I’m excited to learn as much as I can. I already made the gratitude alter she described!

The Great Gatsby: This is a reread from high school except this time I actually like it. I read this when I cannot stomach reading house of leaves.

House of Leaves: a strange, disturbing book. Can’t read it when I feel disassociate-y or else I start mildly freaking the fuck out. It’s really good!
