I was lucky to have two mother figures in my life - my own mother & my aunt, who helped raise me as a child & took me in as a teenager. But I know my luck is not everyone's, & today is fraught with terrible memories for some. Thinking of you & sending mother love your way. You deserved better.

Haven't been on in ages... I took a bit of a break as I was trying to curb my social media use. But I missed Bluesky. The communities here are my favourite not-in-person ones.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Spent the afternoon making ritual bath salt mixtures for a variety of purposes. It was nice to discover I had all the herbs and oils I needed on hand. The house is certainly aromatic now, though! #WitchSky
