Shit that I've been reading lately that yall should try

Sara and The Search for Normal by Wesley King is very deep, contains real-world themes, and is so relatable, I REALLY suggest that you read this book before the other called OCDaniel which is absolutely amazing.

Everless by Sara Holland got me really thinking, I love fantasy, and this book really got me thinking about how you shouldn't judge someone by how they are on the outside. Evermore is the second and last book which is just as good.

Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare is so GOOD, my absolute favorite. There are 3 parts of the series and it really kept me awake at night. Before you read this series you should read the first part of the Shadowhunter story which is called Mortal Instruments.

It's a shame that we didn't get to see Hopper reach out to Nancy after Barb died because if anyone knows the kind of anger Nancy felt, it's Hopper, and not to mention the guilt. It would have been nice to see them at the gun range. It would have been a nice sort of father-daughter relationship (no hate to Ted, people can have more than one dad).

when i tell you i’m so sick and tired of heterosexual assholes labeling the age gap between lesbians as a disorder for the younger because she clearly has mommy issues-

like FIRST OF ALL to you cunts and horn dogs, if you’re sexually attracted to people who remind you of your parents that’s secondhand incest. that’s not the basis or pretense of the majority of lesbian or gay relationships. i guess “age is just a number” is a joke to you, except when referring to 40 and 50 year old white cis men who have a thing for 20 year olds.

but that’s not a surprise is it?

secondly, just because a younger woman prefers an older woman doesn’t mean she needs to be fixed. even if she does have childhood trauma. maybe the love of her life came into the world and she showed up a little bit late. did you ever think of that you jungist dorks.

"I open my heart and mind to any and all practices that will serve my highest good."

Sanctify Your Space

Be Prepared

Set Your Intentions

"I give myself full permission to jump whole-heartedly into whatever calls to me."

So I jump into the event after it was live and I started with a quiz and based on the results I am being called to learn about Energy Healing. Collete Baron-Reid is the host. There are 11 speakers to help connect to the divine! There are direct and indirect messages. If you upgraded your free experience, you can opt in and try to get a reading.

Collete Baron-Reid: How to navigate the world with Oracle Cards. We are always manifesting, manifest intentionally! Pick a deck or use one digitally (see below). Ground and neutralize before doing a reading. "If my feelings were a place, what is that place...where am I?" You and the place are not one in the same, you are looking at the place.

Advise a daily practice of card pulling. Trust the plan, inspiration means of the spirit.

Kyle Gray: 4 secrets to angel communication. Everyone has angels with you at all times. An angel is divine spiritual energy that is part of the whole. Having that personal experience is one of the hardest things. Most cultures have some idea of angels in them all over the world. If you feel fear, you are on the precipice of a miracle. When you go direct, it's more responsibility. But you are born to be that powerful. 4 tips: visibility (allow yourself to be seen), openness (have your own experience and be open to it), vision of holyness (seeing yourself lovingly), willingness (make a practice a habit).

Sara Landon: She channels the Ascended Council. She has done events with Mike Dooley. She teaches how to channel. Open your own channel to the divine. The voice that guides is subtle, loving, and from within. Go within. Feel love and light. "What does my soul want me to know?" "What does my guide want me to know?" Trust it. Automatic writing is a great way to channel. Accept where you are in this moment, ask yourself-what brings you joy? Messages can come when you least expect it. Trust yourself. Open your channel to the divine. We are all so connected.

Shawn Leonard: He is a psychic medium that helps connect to your spirit animal. In spirit you give to get. All my relations, everything is connected. You are always being watched over. If you feel drawn to a particular animal, talk to them in the spirit world. Talk to the animals you are drawn to.

Dougall Fraser: Aura guide and cosmic coach. psychic, author, intuitive. He sees color. You can change your aura. Most people present 1 or 2 colors. Purple=natural leader, destiny. Step into purple to change your energy. What would a leader do? Energy color is constantly changing. Radiant Green=creativity, communication. Gold=vision into reality, action.

Rebecca Campbell: She guides through a sacred ceremony. Connecting to earth, mother, and ancestors.

Radleigh Valentine: Angels. Work with 4 powerful arch angels. Your life can be what you want it to be. All challenges put you on a path towards joy. There is love behind the lesson and struggle. Don't do it alone, but you are never alone. Angels love you. Archangel Michael=protection, safety. Archangel Uriel=epiphany, transformation. Archangel Jophiel=beauty, faith. Archangel Ariel=courage, manifestation. Transformation is sometimes a solitary thing or a village thing. You are where you are supposed to be. Don't stay stuck or in fear. Don't stay stuck in a lesser version of yourself. You are meant for more. You are loved beyond your wildest dream.

John Holland: embracing your inner oracle. You are a soul that comes to body. If you have a gift, start sharing your gift. Everyone has a different spiritual awakening. Synchronicity is two things coming together with meaning. What is the why behind the want? Set an intention when you wake up. Look out for signs. Reach for your inner technology before your outer technology. Say yes to the universe. Write down the signs. Create a high vibe environment. Do not explain it away. High vibe alignment.

Abriola Abrams: Manifesting with your ancestors.

Sonia Choquette: The world is undergoing massive change. We are creating a new world.

A lot of good speakers today. I love these free events! I am looking forward to the next event, who was your favorite speaker? I loved Dougall Fraser. I am not as strong in auras.

D.E.B.S. at 20: a Queer Cult Classic

Bessie Yuill Photo: Sundance/WireImage

There is a secret film hidden within the shadowy sapphic corners of Letterboxd. Some call it escapist trash, some call it an underrated cult classic, fools call it a male fantasy. It calls itself D.E.B.S. As other early-2000s chick flicks like Charlie’s Angels and St. Trinian’s have been reevaluated and embraced for their candy-floss aesthetics and campy wit over the years, the lesbian community was quietly reclaiming its own equivalent with 2004’s D.E.B.S.

The precursor to contemporary high-concept lesbian films like Bottoms, the spy flick is filled with something that queer female moviegoers still often yearn for: fun. That includes Jordana Brewster and her era-defying eyebrows as the impeccably named supervillain Lucy Diamond, John Woo–style fight scenes that parody the action genre in the same way as Charlie’s Angels, and a cheerfully cheap aesthetic where spies run around in plaid schoolgirl skirts.

D.E.B.S. was written, directed, and edited by filmmaker Angela Robinson. While “unapologetically queer” might be an overused phrase, it does apply neatly to Robinson. The Chicago-born director’s first project was a short film called Chickula: Teenage Vampire, calling on the long history of vampiric queer women that began with 1872’s Carmilla.

Her love of playing with genre led her to later put a lesbian spin on the movie musical by writing the underappreciated Girltrash: All Night Long and exploring polyamory in a period biopic about the creators of Wonder Woman, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. On the small screen, she also burnished her lesbian credentials by working on several episodes of The L Word.

When D.E.B.S. started life as a short film, Robinson described it as “a story about a trio of superspies who are all chicks. I love all the comic-book characters: Charlie’s Angels, Batman, Josie & the Pussycats … But I always wanted them to be gay and they never were, so I wrote my own.” Success at Sundance led to Sony snatching the short up and deciding that D.E.B.S. should be a full-length feature.

Two decades later, the joy of this movie lies in the details. The tone is immediately set by a gravelly voice-over telling us that there is a secret test hidden within the SAT to recruit young female superspies (and establishing that, like Bottoms, this is a film aware of genre archetypes and willing to push believability). Our main character Amy (Sara Foster) is an academic overachiever — like many lesbians overcompensating for their perceived failure to live up to social norms. Her perfect score on the secret SAT test makes it even more scandalous when she falls for the aforementioned supervillain Lucy Diamond.

Queer friend groups may delight over the nostalgic frosty eye shadow and lip gloss worn by the D.E.B.S. (which stands for “discipline, energy, beauty, strength,” naturally) at all times. Flip phones, CGI holographic screens, and Goldfrapp’s appearance on the soundtrack will also remind you that you’re watching a film made in the early 2000s. And many will squeal when they spot Holland Taylor, over a decade before she came out, as the academy’s head.

Admittedly, the special effects are goofy enough to cross over into comedy, especially when our girls are abseiling into a restaurant or climbing walls with plungers, and the lighting could be charitably described as resembling teen soap operas of that era. But the chemistry between Amy and Lucy is crackling enough that YouTube compilations of their scenes have racked up hundreds of thousands of views online. Their fun enemies-to-lovers plotline begins with the pair pointing guns at each other and quickly progresses to a whirlwind romance (the other D.E.B.S. think Amy’s been kidnapped and launch a national manhunt, just as many friend groups have had to organize rescue missions for lesbians on weeklong first dates).

You could argue that espionage serves as a metaphor for the closet and that Amy is such an effective spy because she’s used to lying to herself about her sexuality. But that almost seems like too much weight to put on this meringue confection of a genre spoof: Its campiness liberates the characters to inhabit a fun, exaggerated universe with no serious homophobia or consequences. Guns are used, but the so-called superspies have such consistently terrible aim that there are no real casualties. And Lucy Diamond’s supposedly nefarious crimes are all reversible — the murders pinned on her are revealed to be misunderstandings, and she returns all of her stolen goods in order to win Amy back.

When this live-action Totally Spies with a lesbian twist debuted, it only made $97,000 and was dismissed by critics. But there were enough moviegoing gays impressed by its snappy dialogue, fun romance, and stunning supporting cast (including Meagan Good, Jimmi Simpson, and Devon Aoki with a French accent) for its reputation to grow online over time. In forums and YouTube comment sections, young girls were asking, “Are there any lesbian films where they just fall in love and have fun and don’t die at the end?” Their answer was D.E.B.S.
