Hello, reader. How are you doing? I love how apology transforms energy. This is part two to a post from last month called “what apology is for.” I’ve been thinking about magic words, like “thank you” and “I’m sorry.” Magic words play with trust and power, social concepts that I think about all day. Love… Read More »
Hey, reader. How are you doing? Last post I was talking about that internal memo googledoc of what I want done with my stuff when I die. And now I want to write the statement to be released at the time of my death as a final message. Yes! But why wait? I intend to… Read More »

Hello, reader. How you doing? I’ve looked for community for a long time. So many forms I’ve found. Finally I can be my whole self somewhere: queer trans witches are wanted.
