My girl spoke nothing but fucking TRUTH. Now that’s this kind of Women we need our girls to look up too.

[ladygreytea76]

Who is she?

[enigmazing-blog]

Sarah Kendzior.

She’s an expert in authoritarianism and has accurately predicted almost everything that is happening - her unflinching insight and analysis is terrifying but invaluable right now. Well worth following on twitter.

[anosci]

fucking

why did i never see this until now

[arboreyes]

I love that she barely even opened her eyes to look at those men. She said allat with a veil of “stfu I’m so done” over her face, it was incredible.

[thynative]

Fuck!

[nico-incognito]

The fact that you can see these white men not actually getting it is heating me the fuck up…like, listen!!!

[oneoakdutch]

Oh hell yeah, they totally ignored her.

That 2017 #look

[maritsa-met-deactivated20210227]

On the other side of the dressy scale there was a 7 months pregnant lawyer sitting on the floor at IAD

[tami-taylors-hair]

At O’Hare there was a lawyer who was about five minutes away from giving birth sitting there in her sweatpants with a sign that said “I’m a lawyer and I speak Hindi/Urdu”. Just her and her sign and supersized tea from McDonalds. 

[revengeoftehblackbirb-blog]

I’ll say it again. MOSTLY WOMEN.

[themasculinevoice]

Why does their being mostly women matter?

[gwynerso]

Because, statistically speaking, 64% of lawyers in the United States are men, meaning that the majority of the demographic showing up should reflect this. It is also interesting to note that only 27% of American born lawyers are female- that means that a lot of these women are likely immigrants or foreign born. We have a majority of women showing up in a field where they are a minority; women who dropped everything to help defend human rights and the country. There’s no cis-male equivalency to pregnancy, but if you fail to see the importance and stength of a woman who might feasibly go into labour at any second still standing up for what is right and good whilst the majority of politicians are cowering, then I can’t help you.

[profeminist]

Why most of the lawyers you see battling Trump’s immigration order are women

[belleandkurtbastian]

I wouldn’t know where to look for such a study, but I would quite like to see someone run some numbers on the average number of pro-bono cases taken on per annum by male and female lawyers working in the same fields…

Gaslighting does not require deliberate plotting. Gaslighting only requires a belief that it is acceptable to overwrite another person’s reality. The rest just happens organically when a person who holds that belief feels threatened. We learn how to control and manipulate each other very naturally. The distinguishing feature between someone who gaslights and someone who doesn’t is an internalized paradigm of ownership. And in my experience, identifying that paradigm is a lot easier than spotting the gaslighting.

Empath Protection

This is a masterpost with resources for empaths. First off, are you an empath*?

An empath is someone who deeply feels and connects to the emotions, feelings, and energies of other people. This can cause anxiety, depression, fatigue, exhaustion, headaches, stomach aches, and/or severe stress. There are varying degrees of empathy one can feel, and for some this gift/burden is heavier than for others. See also, 30 Common Traits of an Empath, More Information about Empaths. Signs which are most commonly empaths: Aquarius, Cancer, Pisces. Here is a resource of tips and tricks for the empath.

♦ Empath Bath Salts - Use this after being around people’s energies for too long and are needing to be cleansed of them. ♢ Empath Protection Sigil - Put on your person, a charm, in your grimoire, or on your clothing. ♦ Empath Protection Jar - Protect yourself from others negative energies. This is a preventative. ♢ Empath Bath Spell - This spell is for balancing your own energy and grounding yourself. ♦ Crystals for Empaths -  Put on your person, beside your bed, under your pillow, in rooms you frequent, or on your clothing. ♢ The Veil Method - How to block out other people’s emotions. ♦ Treatment for the ‘Empath Hangover’ - How to deal with things after ebing emotionally drained. ♢ Negative energy protection sigil -  Put on your person, a charm, in your grimoire, or on your clothing. ♦ “I Am Warded and Safe from External Feelings” Sigil -  Put on your person, a charm, in your grimoire, or on your clothing.

Water

Water, in my opinion, is one of the strongest forces on the earth.  Water is receptive and holds energy for long periods of time. For example ifyou live near a coast in the winter, the water hold the energy from the sun and keeps the land warm. Water always wins, not through strength but persistence. In rootwork, water can be used to consecrate an object or cleanse a person.different types of water

Here’s a list of how I collect different types of water and what I use them for.

Ocean Water- When I went to the beach I took a mason jar with me. I filled it up a fourth of the way with moist sand then collected water from the Ocean. I use the ocean water for healing by sprinkling it on wounds both physical and mental. I also use it during meditation, dabbing water on my wrist and forehead, this increases signal between our world and the world of the ancestors. Also can be used to cleanse your spirit.

Gentle Water- You have to wait for the first rain of Autumnal Equinox, or Harvest Moon. Sit a container on windowsill and wait for the rain. Mix water with nutmeg and cinnamon. Use a little in your food or on a mojo bag to bring luck and prosperity.

Full Moon Water- Fill a glass full of spring water and sit outside during a full moon.  Make sure its in the moonlight. You can now  drink that water for clarity.

River Water- Bring a compass with you and make sure the river runs south.  Collect water in mason jar, fill it only halfway. Collect river stones and add to jar till it fills up. Go home and sprinkle basil and rosemary into water.  Let it sit overnight then you add a little to your bath to cleanse your spirit. Sprinkling on your front door and windows will keep bad spirits out. Sleeping with a glass of it next to your bed will increase memory.

[newmodelminority]

Yoooo. I am not water but air, however I appreciate the knowledge.

[soulwhispering]

Love isn’t do this for me and I’m going to do this for you. That’s not what love is. Love is just I’m gonna do this for you because I wanna do this for you.

🎈Happy Birthday Amiyah Scott 🎂

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

I feel like so many people who want to be activists are sort of waiting around not knowing what to do hoping there will be clear directions soon. If you don’t know what to do to help politically yet, if you’re not in a place to help organize a broader resistance movement, there are still so many immediate needs you can meet.

If you can drive, you can help. If you can wash a tub of dishes, you can help. If you can make a meal or babysit or translate or comfort people or just be really big and imposing, you can help. If you can talk to stubborn doctors or make phone calls or do free oil changes or repair furniture or let someone sleep on your sofa, you can help. Virtually any skill you have can be helpful in some way to your community.

The volunteer work that communities need to function is rarely big or glamorous. If in the back of your mind you’re expecting Activist Cred™ and to be known outside your community for the work you’re doing, it’s time to gently disentangle that idea from your desire to protect the vulnerable.

You can help right now. Talk to the people in your community. Get to know them and what they need. Go volunteer at a shelter or soup kitchen or crisis line if you’re isolated and don’t know where to start. Talk to other volunteers too - they often have their fingers on the pulse of marginalised communities and they may be able to tell you where else your help might be useful.

The first step to ensuring the survival of the vulnerable is to meet their immediate needs. It’s time to reach out to help each other.

Amen.

Fun fact

Native Americans weren’t allowed US citizenship until 1924.

Let that sink in. We lived here first…for thousands of years. And less than a hundred years ago we were finally given citizenship.

[istamaza-deactivated20200505]

We also fought in WWI despite not being US citizens.

[the-yaadihla-girls]

In Arizona, natives weren’t granted the right to vote until 1948. Think how that type of neglect ties into resource colonization as infrastructure was developed within years prior. 

[giizhigaate-deactivated20160220]

In addition: the indigenous peoples of Canada were not recognized as Human Beings until the year 1960. Now let that shit sink in.

[fatbodypolitics]

In the US it wasn’t until 1968 that the Indian Civil Rights Act was passed and allowed for the right to freedom of speech / assembly / press, a jury trial, the right to an attorney etc. It’s so fucking frustrating.

[xpeachsweettea]

and it wasn’t until 1978 that we were legally allowed to practice our own religions. in a nation founded on religious freedoms, it was illegal to practice our own religions. in our own country. how fucked up is that?

[halfhardtorock]

Aaaand Native Americans weren’t entitled to their own languages (had no legal rights to teach them in their schools, use them in business) until the Native American Language Act of 1990.

I teach this to my students, because NONE of it is in a single textbook. This is and act of indoctrination

I’m dead at his face in the last one like “Did you even try?”

[aletolover-deactivated20151208]

his composure is just everything I aspire to be

CHARLES IS THE BEST OMG

[realityofroyals-blog]

Like how he stands there as if, “Okay, I’ll be perfectly still and we’ll see if you can hit me this time. Come on, it is like I’m giving you a head start.” He’s more annoyed with his cuff link than the wanna be assassin.

cleansing crystals

full moon: on the night of a full moon, leave your crystals outside to soak up the moonlight, the crystals will still receive the energy even if it’s cloudy or raining! (but make sure the crystals can safely be in contact with water!!)

sunlight: leave your crystals out to bathe in the sun for a few hours (Amegreen, Amethyst, Ametrine,  Aquamarine,  Celestite, Citrine, Fluorite,  Kunzite, Opal,Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Spirit Quartz, Super Seven, Topaz, and Turquoise should not be left out in the sun!!)

sage/incense: waft the smoke over the crystals, or hold the crystals in the smoke, let the smoke reach every side of the crystal

water: let your crystals soak in a nice cool water bath, or place them under running water, visualise the water cleaning out any negative energy (Calcite, Desert Rose, Halite, Hematite, Lodestone, Malachite, Satin Spar, and Selenite should not be placed in water!!)

earth: bury your crystals in the soil for a few hours and the earth will soak up negative energies (again, be cautious about rain!)

sound: place your crystals in front of speakers and play your favourite music!! the vibrations from sound waves will pass through the crystals and reset their vibrations to their original state

flower petals: bury your crystals in a bowl of flower petals, choose a flower that has extra healing properties to help your crystals

visualisation: hold your crystal in your hand and envision a white light surrounding it, then see a white beam pass through the crystal, taking the negative energy away

[conjureandsuch]

Healers must be clear on who they are and why they are in healing work. “You have to come in with no judgement because then you start blocking stuff… . If you are out there and you are not clear on who you are, or what your problems are or are not, and … if you are not real centered in what you are doing, you might as well not do the healing.

Clarity

So I watched a sermon by Toure Roberts entitled, “5 keys to identifying your soulmate.” And I made a break through. 

1. chemistry–definitely had that with the engineer

2. connection–had this, too

3. wholeness–I did not have this when dealing with him. I wanted him–any man–too much. I wanted to be wanted, too much. I felt incomplete. 

4. a clear “yes” from God–here was my break through: my prayer has always been to ask God to take the Engineer off my heart if he wasn’t for me. Toure Roberts pointed out that “not saying ‘no’” is not the same as saying, “yes.” God has never clearly, unequivocally said, “yes” to the Engineer being my soulmate, or even to his staying in my life. One of my superpowers is walking away from people when it’s not a resounding, “yes” that they are supposed to be a friend or a mentor or a sister or a brother … but I go so caught up in the chemistry and connection that I lost this when it came to the Engineer. 

5. purpose–at the time I had absolutely no idea what my purpose was. It’s taken failing the bar multiple times, being stuck building a life in Denver, and other things for me to begin to see how my purpose is so much bigger and impactful than I could ever have dreamt. 

Oprah says that you have to get still to know the next step. I think I’m finally ready to face myself, to embrace my purpose. And part of that is letting go of the Engineer.
