Embrace this day by being the most extra, beautiful, powerful, badasses you can be. Embody the sacred feminine within. Go forth and be amazing. #witchy #witchsky #pagan #fridaythe13

Fear of Friday the 13th is a relatively modern construct, rooted in patriarchal and religious systems that demonized the divine feminine and suppressed women's wisdom. Friday the 13th isn't unlucky or something to fear. They twisted the narrative to deny us our own power.

Fun fact: Fridays and the number 13 were both connected to the sacred feminine. There are 13 moons in a year, both the lunar object and the biological woman's cycles. Friday comes from Frig's or Freya's day, Norse goddesses that embody the sacred feminine, love, fertility, creation etc.

It feels like most people would rather we die than be afforded healthcare. My family can't afford to insure me *and* keep us fed and housed. Best case scenario is I will suffer constant pain without my meds

Alright #Congress, message received loud and clear. I should've let the cancer take me so I didn't end up as a burden on my family and the taxpayers. It's my own moral failings that led to my #ChronicIllness. I'll go find the next iceberg and chip off ##BBBbullshit #medicaid

Please be careful today. I have a really bad feeling. If you need help, look for the crow. I'll be with you.

That's been a real struggle with crutches (shoulders, neck and collar bones) and knee scooter (knees, hips, and pelvis). I hope you never have to deal with this. They never took my pain seriously, either. Shocker, I know.

I'm not sure if this is an #EhlersDanlos thing or just my dumb luck, but the broken tip of my fibula is still over 2mm from the rest of the bone with no calcification. The shape and size make pins impossible. It's been 9 weeks. Yes, I'm in #ChronicPain #eds #chronicillness

And there it is. I've officially reached the point of medical gaslighting and neglect where I have to do it myself. Life with #chronicillness - doctors give up when your recovery is outside the norm. My fibula is still in 2 pieces, no sign of healing. Just another addition to my #chronicpain

Part 2 of the maga shit show that is our local FB. It was a response to someone asking why he was ok with American citizens being deported by ICE. Things are getting ugly #RuralFB #resist #CallThemOut

Things are getting pretty ugly in my rural community. People feel emboldened to say gross stuff with their whole chest, so I'm going to give them the exposure they want. I won't hide their identity, either. They say it, they own it. Just follow the tags for more #RuralFB #resist #CallThemOut

I shouldn't have to fight this hard to receive the most basic care, yet here I am. If someone with #chronicpain says they hurt, believe them. We don't show it because it's our normal. That doesn't mean we deserve to suffer. #chronicillness affects acute injuries as well. I deserve better Fin

My neck and shoulders hurt so much from using crutches with my loose joints. And my ankle is flopping around in an ace bandage. Now I have to fight to get a second opinion and hope they listen. Meanwhile, I'm stuck in bed most days, completely miserable. 4/?

Meanwhile, I can feel the broken bones shift every time I move. I was up all night in pain. Nobody takes my other health issues into consideration. I have to fight to be heard. I've fallen 3 times from #pots, #vertigo and poor proprioception. I heal slowly due to #ehlersdanlos. 3/?

That was 3 weeks ago. This week they removed the cast, put on an ace wrap, and put me in a boot that was too painful to even strap on, then I was sent to X-rays. There's no sign of healing. I called the DR back the next day and they said to try my best, see you in a month. 2/?

Reality as a chronically ill woman in America: every single visit turns into a fight to be heard. I was sent home from the ER with a broken ankle (fibula tip broken off) wrapped in a half-cast. Never once offered anything for pain. My husband got pain pills and lidocaine for a broken rib. 1/?

I'm but a lowly employee at our #apothecary, but I can tell you things are bleak. We've already lost multiple suppliers (closing completely) and the rest told us to expect prices to jump approx 45% Our business is down significantly. I don't see how we'll survive. #witchsky #herbalism

I spent the past two days at a diversity conference. This is difficult, but important work in rural communities. We were able to make connections and find new avenues of support. Then I spent the evenings fact checking all the maga puppets on local FB pages, because a girl has to have fun, too.

This is my newest deck. I love it because you can read the upright cards as actions and the reversed cards as internal, or shadow work. They even have separate guidebooks. Bonus: the cards are beautiful images of herbs, flowers, and other plants. #WitchSky #TarotSky #Herbalism
