Happy Pride!

Soon it will be warm enough to open windows in the morning and let the fresh air in.

Some days that will mean light breezes and the sound of the wind shimmering leaves on trees. Other days that will mean the smell of rain as it soaks the earth and the sound of it hitting the pavement.

I want both. I want to sit on my bed or walk about my home and still feel entirely connected to the movement of nature outside my window.

To those in Texas dealing with this shit show of a polar vortex, your friendly neighbourhood Canadian is here.

SO you've lost power and fucking freezing? First things first. You're going to grab literally every blanket and pillow and cushion you can find.

Grab some newspaper or other papery material, it's insulation.

Next, you're going to build yourself a motherfucking blanket fort. Keep it small but with enough space you won't feel like death.

Put the newspaper on the floor, put cushions and pillows, then your blankets. Build it up.

Any form of light source will also help (just please don't light anything on fire). Keep that there.

As for clothing, you need to layer it up. Keep moisture wicking material as a base, then build it up. You might look like the Michelan tire man or Pillsbury Dough Boy but you'll be warm.

If you have pets that are susceptible to the cold, put one of your shirts on them and bring them to the blanket fort.

KEEP YOUR TAPS DRIPPING SO THEY DON'T FREEZE.

DO NOT OPEN YOUR FRIDGE OR FREEZER UNLESS YOU HAVE TO. The temperature there will not protect your food enough.

If you have to go out at all, look for shiny patches on the road. That is black ice.

If you hit ice, don't panic, don't hit the pedals, lightly take your foot off the gas, steer into the skid to gain control again (do not over steer) and then straighten your wheel. Look where you want to go and then start slightly steering that way.

Pack clothes and blankets. Cardboard, shovel, and cat litter if you have it. This will help if you happen to get stuck.

IF YOU GET STUCK IN THE SNOW for the love of God do not just gun it. That will damage your vehicle and dig you into a bigger hole. You need to either wait for help or "rock" your vehicle. Hit the gas a little, then back off of it. Do this in a steady rhythm so that your car rocks. Rock with it.

Y'all can get through it. Stay safe my friends.

This Valentine’s Day I honor Aphrodite, Mother of love in all forms. Valentine’s Day is not just about romantic love, but the celebration of all kinds of love, and in turn, a celebration of the goddess.

I thank her for the love I give, the love I receive, the love I have experienced, and the love I will experience. I thank her for guiding me to learn to love myself and to love others openly. I thank her for giving me the ability to keep loving when love has broken me.

I believe love is the driving force of the universe. Love is triumphant over hate. Love heals.

Take the time to thank her, if nothing else, this Valentine’s Day 💕

Everyone's not meant to be there forever and that shits honestly heartbreaking

When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay

Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe

4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger

1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix

1 TBs ketchup

1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,

1 Tbs bbq sauce

1 Tbs steak sauce

1 egg

mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)

You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

good things will happen 🧿

things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

times are scary. my queer friends and poc friends might have to defend themselves, so I'm starting to make incense burners and ritual wands that can also be used for self defense if necessary. keep your friends and neighbors and selves safe.

this is a deer leg and crystal point ritual wand, for decoration or for directing energy, sometimes right into an assholes face.

Some assholes have been putting nails in cheese and treats in dog parks in Chicago and Massachusetts. Also adding antifreeze to water bowls.

Please watch out for your dogs. And if you find out the address of someone doing this, give me the address and tell no one. I will disembowel them.
