If you've ever read any posts from this blog, thank you so much! Today is Saturday, November 30, 2024, and I am releasing the scheduled structure I initiated in April 2024 (writing a post for each decan through the 2024-2025 zodiacal year). The reason for this is because I can better care for this space if I stop relating to it through the forced reality of deadlines.
I will miss the deadlines, and I have missed working to honor them. October brought on a big move, a major surgery, and recovery/reorientation through all associated changes. Any projects outside my day job and family responsibilities took a deep pause, and all the while, the United States government has continued to finance and profit off the genocide of Palestinian people starving, displaced, and/or trapped behind concrete walls. May I become more and more adaptive to the care needs of the world I share with our most marginalized peoples, and more and more willing to reexamine and rededicate my energy towards providing care in as many ways I am able.
My hope is to jump in and post when able between now and next April, but in case this is the last book-themed post that happens before then, I hope you will read or recommend to your beloveds the most important book I read this year, Recognizing the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative by Isabella Hammad.
Reading and writing tarot and astrology are important to me because these activities are directly correlated to the amount of time I spend engaging materially with my communities. Spending time with the cards and the stars reminds me to spend time caring for my people(s). My goal is to convert this project's purpose towards fundraising in 2025.
In the meantime, please consider donating to and amplifying The Sameer Project, a Palestinian-led initiative working to provide, among other aid, blankets and tents to people in Gaza as winter arrives:
With love and thanks,
