Adapting to the Dumpster Fire

It’s election week in America which means that the dumpster fire of the U.S political and social media landscape is burning extra bright.

I’m doing a little duck and cover to try and protect the energy of our little corner of cyberspace, because as we all know from reading blogs and long distance Tarot, words can matter. Words and images set an energy for a website just like a real-world space can carry a mood. Real world spaces can make you feel welcome and at-ease….or they can give you the creeping heebie jeebies and make you want to run away. Ditto for cyberspaces.

Long story short, until the frakus over on Twitter settles down, I’m avoiding the right wing toxicity and ghosting until we see how things land. Yeah, it’s all about the money first and foremost BUT birds of a feather flock together. Where there is money grubbing corporate & individual greed, there are the other monsters of human nature like racist, bigots, fascists, theocrats, and every power hungry type imaginable. You know, Republicans.

Yeah – I said it. Make you mad? Good. Now go vote. Go vote for someone who is as moral and decent of a person as you are. This is a new era. You vote for ’em, you are one of them.

Too political? Did you see the theocrat in the list of problems? Evangelicals hate Tarot or any spirituality that isn’t well, them. Past behaviour is a good indication of future policy. Evangelicals have proven that they will take any political action and manipulate whatever is needed to advance their particular worldview. They ALREADY HAVE. They’ve already ripped away a big chunk of bodily autonomy from American women. If you enjoy Tarot or any related philosophy, they think you are a bad person. According to them, if you are reading this, you are a sinner doing some sinning.

Welcome to the club.

If you like this little freedom of speech and freedom of religion thing we have going here in the U.S. … vote. Vote for someone who is as decent and moral as you are. Don’t think for one minute they won’t come after Tarot, spirituality, free speech – you – if you don’t.

But back to the Twitter frakus…

The energy there is really toxic right now, whatever the facts on the ground may be. I don’t want to touch that, and I don’t want my audience to accidentally exposed to that bit of nastiness, so I’m not posting anything on Twitter until things settle. I’ll be lurking on Instagram and TikTok. Links to this blog’s content is on Facebook, Tumblr, and YouTube.

Please, stop by and say hello! Questions and comments are welcome here in the comments or anywhere on the active socials.

Meanwhile it’s ok here. Feel free to browse the old posts, give a listen to podcasts if you prefer. Either way, I’m glad you are here.
