Throughout my life, I've struggled with self-image & understanding femininity. However, recently I've found comfort in connecting with divine feminine energy, like the Aztec goddess Xochiquétzal & Mayan goddess Ixchel. Working with them feels empowering & has reshaped my perception of femininity.

It's hard to explain to people outside this fight that Texas is currently trying to ban kids from using public libraries... but they are; it's passed out of committee, and it's going to a floor vote. 🚨If you know ANYONE in Texas it's time for them to call their reps and demand NO ON HB3225🚨

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.
